I was gone for like ten days for a wedding and shiz. Back now though. DotA happens tonight.

Edit: Shake's new main is Jugs now? Ugh.

What is your problem with jugz, brah? I play a race car semi carry jugz and It's so much fun!

I've been playing a lot of LS and NP lately.

DOTA is on OSX now...

Probably going to install it. Maybe play a game with you guys. Then end up forever alone after I'm removed from all friends lists after I ruin team morale.

Be warned, the OSX version is unoptimized shit. I downloaded it and after realizing I was getting half the framerate at best, I switched back to running it on bootcamp.

BigAT,

Jungle NP

7:10 Hand of Midas
11:38 Treads
18:30 Shadow Blade

1/0/2

good bad ugly?

I honestly don't pay much attention to specific item timings, that seems alright though. One thing I noticed in our matches that you could improve on with NP was having a global presence during the laning phase. There were definitely a few close fights in the lanes that would have gone differently had you TP'd in, to the point I forgot we had an NP. A sudden 3v2 early on can make a huge difference and leaving the jungle is worth it if it means securing a kill or two.

When you're just autoattacking creeps in the jungle, try to click around the map to each lane and see how the health bars are. Being really great with Prophet means suddenly showing up wherever you're needed on the map. Figuring when you should and shouldn't teleport takes time and experience.

Bob put on a thanksgiving feast in the bottom lane.

Fmt has already surpassed him and he doesn't even use hot keys for his skills
