Oh wow, NIP went from potentially tiebreaking for upper bracket to not making the lower bracket.

I legit don't understand tiebreakers I guess because I can't figure out how NiP ended up last out of the four 4-3 teams

We've read feedback from the community that leveling feels harder this year. We looked into how things compare so far to last year. For battle pass players of all levels, on average players have earned 1.95% more free levels than last year. If we consider only players who after a week were below level 200, on average they have earned 7.91% more free levels than last year. However, we recognize that players still feel that they wish playing granted more, so we have a few changes included in this update:


- Wagering battle point rewards are now increased by 50%
- Guild contract battle point rewards are now increased by 100%
- Sideshop gold for Recycling is increased by 65%
- Sideshop gold for Guild contracts and upgrades are increased by 100%

All these changes are effective as of this update. For sideshop gold earned through previous recycles, we will be granting the extra gold over the next few hours.

They paused during the middle of the game, then people started dropping, including the broadcasters. And now they apparently can't join the game again.

e: they are having to redo a whole new game 3; new draft and everything

Wait what? That sucks, I got like 50 extra portals from it.

Is that why I got a bunch of extra CM spins?

Remember recycling, crafting and how you used to actually get something decent from trashing an immortal treasure?

feels so long ago now. . .

This is what fascinates me most in existence: the peculiar necessity of imagining what is, in fact, real.


Why do people pick Undying? He's gotta be one of the most lackluster heroes in the game.

He was vs a 2 str offlane so on paper it could have been good enough during laning to make up for the lack of lategame impact.

a lot of it has to do with the laning phase and how well you can harass the enemy heroes in it with decay and the like. if you get a bit of a lead using him then he can typically help keep that lead going, but if your team falls behind then it'll be difficult to catch back up.

If you are against a str melee 3 you can absolutely annihilate the enemy’s game with a little help/alone and provide a lot of sustain and team fight throughout the mid game and a weirdly huge amount of burst with w

He can make an enormous amount of space, without items, for a carry to free farm basically


But he’s pretty situational
