I'm pretty loving upset that, while Naix, Puck, and Venge all have a bunch of awesome sets and items up, Elder Titan has nothing but 3 fugly items that will never get in, and an admittedly kinda awesome stone boxing hammerfistthing. Shall he forever be hatless?

That thing where you activate shivas and then icarus dive and it paints the entire map with aoe slow is pretty fun.

I hereby renounce my terrible opinions. Wraith King has cool voice acting and fun animations and I even like his dumb croissant stroke face but he just isn't as cool as Skeleton King. Bring back the boner valve

I don't know if anybody's watching the streaming of the Blizzard MOBA. But depending on how serious Valve is about disassociating the heroes from Blizzard characters depicted in Heroes, well then good-bye Pudge.

So what does the techies forecast look like? Are we getting him soon or are they just gonna keep using TI to bait out releasing him to jack up sales on compendiums?

I think they don't really need bait for the TI compendiums at this point. I think people are pretty much hooked.

The thing is Blizzard ripped them off there (well actually Guinsoo or whoever remade Pudge). They did it in Diablo 3 first.

computer parts posted:EMP should probably just be % mana drain (with same absolute amount for damage) but I don't know if that would hurt intelligence heroes too much. It's one of the best spells in the game at the moment and it has a huge aoe, short explosion delay, restores Invoker's mana pool, does pure damage, and also got a mana drain buff that can drain the entire mana pool of roughly half the heroes in the game (probably more but I'm being conservative) before they hit level 10. Probably just a whinepost but I feel that along with the rest of q/w Invoker's kit the spell is way too good for the amount of effort it takes to use.

I haven't regularly played Dota 2 in a very, VERY long time, and had no idea about the Skeleton King -> Wraith King transition until I watched Pyrion's new Clockwerk video. I assume that was another Blizzard vs. Valve issue again?

On the topic of MMR, i've come to realize that there is a huge disparity between servers. Probably not uncommon knowledge, as there was an article on this recently. But, Queuing SE Asia for 5 or 10 games as opposed to USw/e or EUw/e is a pretty huge eye-opener. Also probably helped that I was playing Captain's Mode exclusively, but Captain's Mode games on the US and EU server have sucked at a high rate as well.

It's not really Dota until Techies get in. If you look deep into your heart you know you want to see such a pick on the grand stage in July.

gently caress Techies, I want Tidal Spirit or whatever the Aqua equivalent of Storm/Ember/Earth is. Maybe they will make a Void Spirit as well at some point.

I dunno, it is pretty annoying at times, but if any one spell on Invoker needs a nerf, I think it (always has been) is Cold Snap. Definition of bullshit, at times. edit: Ever Hookshot an Invoker with Clockwork, pop all your abilities, then die in your own cogs when Invoker Cold Snaps you and summons a Forged Spirit?

I'm sure there will be 'bad' games on any region's server, but every aspect of every game I played seemed to be of much higher quality.

I mean, I won't dispute that there might be some differences in MMR depending on region, but that's simply not enough games to say anything definitive on the matter.

China's Boner King was heavily censored because they have laws about depicting the dead and skulls and poo poo, so bringing all versions of the game into line for cosmetics and general tidiness was probably the bigger factor. Ye olde China Boner for reference

I'd buy the crazy headpiece if they added it, since he's cosmetic-able now.  Also China's Ancient Apparition looks a lot more pissed off
