Someone needs to organize an intervention for Goblak. Second pick Treant, really?

I was hoping for a trolly Bloodseeker pick, since his silence purges it, rendering the hero poo poo useless for what they are using it for.

Why would creep blocking with cogs be against the rules? :psyduck:

Sing and Puppey were talking the other day about the really strict rules at Korean tournaments. You're not allowed to draw on the map, at all, or pause without asking for a pause first.

Why does everyone hate Zephyr so much? They've only been a team for around a month, that is hardly enough time to really figure out what the team strengths and weaknesses are. I'd give them a few more tourney before they're declared the new MUFC.

A bunch of C and D tier players thinking they can roll into a very new scene to get easy wins. Wonder why people dislike them...

Yeah; if you didn't want a blink dagger before, it wasn't because of the mana cost. If this does anything, it'll make the heroes that need blink but have issues supporting it more common, not the item itself.

It's going to mean less fuckups for me on sand king when I ult then don't quite have enough mana to blink. Hurrah!

There isn't any way you can increase the damage of ability-button based attacks beyond the skill-up tiers and Agh's for your ult.

Dota's idea of +damage is auto-attack based damage, League basically lets you increase the damage of abilities so, for instance, Razor could pump more than four points into his Plasma Field and it could hit for more than 370. No matter how many items you have, no farmed you are, etc, Plasma Field can not hit for more than 370. It is impossible. This has been discussed on the PlayDota forums and chalked up to simply a technical impossibility in the WC3 engine.

You're really loving dumb, by the way. If you had more text in this post and said something about China I'd think you were JPJ.

Just for reference:

Magical damage amplification items/effects: Veil of Discord, Ethereal Blade/Decrepify, Ice Vortex, Natural Order, Ancient Seal.
Other damage amplification: Orchid Malevolence (magic damage only when effect ends), Penitence (physical damage, weirdly), Soul Catcher (pure damage), Flesh Golem

Further, Skywrath Mage's Arcane Bolt scales with Intelligence, so it gets better and better the later the game goes.

Don't forget Stuns, Positional Movement changes, etc.

Black^ is giving up on China and wants back into the scene. He's worried, however, that there's not a team that would take him. If only there were some team that could use an wildly-efficient super-farmer and was capable of creating mad amounts of space to make up for their lack of game sense...

I'd say Navi but what if they lost? We'd all have to go play LoL!

I think Visage is still too strong at the pro level. He doesn't need gold and is one of the most dangerous heroes in the game the first 10 minutes and can still be really relevant late game.

Ult should be 1 weaker bird, 1 normal bird, 2 birds, with the aghs still giving an additional one.

I was looking at this the other day and the only hero left unpicked in 6.80 is Medusa.

Games go too fast for her now, generally.

If she had a slight scaling buff she'd be a viable pick, but right now there's better heroes who do what she does but sooner, like Luna.

Just make Cloud9 play for the Euro spot and I'll love you forever. The thing where they bounce back and forth between EU and NA depending on how easy it will be to win has to stop.

They could do a Purge and move to the (second) easiest dota region in the world to get wins I guess?
