I mean, if you're going to experiment, Tinker is as good a team as any to experiment on, right?

Gonna be pre-15 minutes unless he dies, just needs the point booster

13 minute aghanim's scepter with one death, I hope these jungle stacks are for him and not morphling.

Aghs Refresher means you can kill every jungle camp at once I think

I'm disappointed he isn't using ult to farm both jungles and all the lanes at once

Ive done it several times myself, its really the natural thing to do if you get aghs. And considering the amount of vision it gives, you should always go aghs.

So would of been worth to get a midas before the aghs so you reach 16 faster?

Sorry if this has been discussed, and is not related to ongoing games - but PPD has mentioned before that he played football in high school and a bit in college, and football is a sport which is unrelentingly dependent on teamwork at every position (even the kicker, the position I believe I remember him saying he played). I wonder if his rather extensive time in football culture has helped make him a better team leader in DOTA. So many esports athletes are so clearly spergs who lack basic social skills, let alone the ability to effectively keep a group together through adversity and losing.

I guess that what I'm getting at is all those annoying platitudes you hear over and over again w/r/t traditional sports probably have some actual worth, especially in a culture which more or less totally lacks those platitudes.

Also, there is Chuan who played basketball and is AFAIK a total piece of poo poo to be teammates with.

No because the vision is half the benefit

I am so happy right now that someone is hitching their wagon to Tree's Agh's mechanics. I've always wanted to see the hero played this way.

I love how Treant can just make 1k gold in one ult. This new Tree Paradigm is kinda blowing my mind.

Singsing said recently that he just wants to play, he doesnt care what role he plays. But with that lineup it'd be nautral to asume bamboe offlane, mynuts + cwm support which leaves singsing as carry.

Singsing carry worked out well for QPAD RED PANDAS, looking forward to seeing that

e; man, sad that I missed an aghs tree game.

I had forgotten that aghs was made actually good because they halved the cooldown. Wasn't worth it before but you can put them goddamn everywhere now.

Tree has great rightclick in the early game so I think it's faster to just give him a lane and farm the aghs straight up rather than going midas first.

I looked on datdota and this is the third pro game with Treant Aghanims. The first one was 7ckingmad and he went a very strange build, got aghs at 23 minutes and then built force staff, AC and Halberd (the game went 60+ minutes). The second looks like it was a troll, Lil had midas-vlads-blink and sold it all at the end of the game to pick up a scepter.

Refresher Agh's Tree, Agh's AA, and a Agh's Silencer.

Would've loved to see a farmed Zeus to go with that lineup, but double Primal Roar is good too. :allears:
