Last time I picked IO in CD someone grabbed him before I could then said he couldn't play it and started bitching at me for drafting it.

It swung in his favor for a minute at level 5, but then at 6 I just murdered his shell target and or denied everything. He couldn't even really jump on me with his hero because there's no way for him to not push. PS. Farm heroes. code:

I'm really surprised they still haven't smoothed out the damage curve of shuriken. It's such an odd one.

Cabbit posted:Even broken, Tranqs are still the second fastest boot in the game after BoTs and you never lose the +4 armor. I should really do this on my zues. I usually go phase because I'm dumb and like the active boost. I build euls, travels eventually, and sometimes even drums. Zoom zoom zues.

Doltos posted:Best skewer I ever saw was a Kunkka putting X marks the spot on the enemy Magnataur. The Magnataur TPed in, skewered three of us, and then re-appeared in the fountain killing us all. This is probably easier to hit, even though it requires teleporting, because the timing is all on the kunkka.

Presumably that math is based on only cleaving onto 1 target at a time, so the cleave damage can go even higher.

BasicBitch posted:sick of pro casters pretending that puck is a difficult hero to disengage with. "What a player!!" after using one of her several get-out-of-jail free cards. That's like the "pudge landed a hook" of "big play" escapes. Anatharon posted:Either it's a small amount and irrelevant or it's a large amount and thus a clear improvement for said people with the argument against it being "We can't give these people want they want or they might have FUN." New idea. Introduce a blind concede box that simply asks whether a player is or is not ready to concede, and never indicate what other players are voting. Then never actually make that button do anything.

Khisanth Magus posted:viper... laning with blood seeker. Scorps posted:There is a certain point in a dota players life where he sees the enemy instalock Pudge and feels inside himself not fear, but excited anticipation as they click on Puck. I usually pick carries or semis for this because he's going to push the lane so not only do I dodge everything but I probably get freefarm. PA, Jugg (let him land the hook at level 4 then drop your ward and spin), Bloodseeker, Huskar and Ember are all pretty fun for this.

SUPER NEAT TOY posted:If 'Elo Hell' exists, a guy who plays at like 5600 mmr isn't going to show it. It's people marginally better then a really bad MMR - starting at 3000 likewise avoids most of the worst of it. I'm entirely sure there's probably a bunch of people in the low/mid-2000 MMRs or something who are slightly better than their MMR would imply but also are not good enough to offset the dumb poo poo that inhabits actual trench tier. I doubt it's as wide or systemic as people believe though. I'd like to see a 3k player try to fight his way back to 3k from 1k.

Emron posted:I got yelled at by a juggernaut for kill stealing people earlier this week. By that he meant jumping on people he was right clicking, and right clicking them as well. We were both, like, 17/2/10, so I don't see why it mattered. This was before I had a really frustrating losing streak in ranked, so it was at the positively sky high bracket of 2650 mmr. People are weird, y'all. Honestly, even though its loving stupid I can kind of see why a hard carry gets annoyed by supports 'stealing' gold. But another hard carry is a whole different thing.

The Lord of Hats posted:Nothing quite like shooting lightning everywhere. This patch was really nice for him too; being able to deward and having a much shorter windup on Chain Lightning is nice. When I was pushing with my team I used to keep trying to cast Chain Lightning and having it cancelled because the creep died before I got the cast off. Now if they'd just do something about his horrendous autoattack. Zues is one of those heroes that don't seem to fit into comp meta so no one ever plays them in pubs but is still very very strong. The trick is to just start sniping cross map ult kills the second you hit six so you can rush your Euls/staff/blink/bot. It's more effective for the whole team if you do this. Personally I'm most comfortable with max MS but basically any kind of mobility + mana regen on him and you are gonna just blast the poo poo out of everything.

King of Spit posted:He is he's just a niche pick as a counter to certain heroes (bkb centric carries that lack mobility and burst, like naix). He doesn't need any buffs. He's currently a very hard counter to both Viper and OD. I never understood how he's supposed to counter viper. Does his passive proc off orb harass? I didn't think it did but that's the only way it makes sense to me.

I have the same problem but up near the 3600 mmr average range. My theorydotes is strong as gently caress, and honestly when people listen to my advice they start doing better for the most part. But I'm a raging gently caress and I occasionally big throw just like anyone else The most frustrating thing is when people get locked into this idea of what they are supposed to be doing and won't break out of it if it isn't working. Trilane getting wrecked by aggro tri? 4 man pressure top and either roll some towers or make space for your carry. Level 6 Doom jungling? GO CAST DOOM ON SOMEBODY. etc.

jBrereton posted:The only (the only) Huskar Counterpick is Dark Seer. To defeat Huskar, you must BECOME Huskar. Viper is pretty good against huskar. Burning spears proc corrosive skin for a long time, you have your own orb, you gain increased physical damage as he gains increased attack speed and magic armor, an all purpose damage reduction, and a shitton of attack speed slow.

I was walking by some guys who were clearly talking about a moba I haven't played (probably lol) but I could tell it was a moba because of they way they were talking about the characters taking nerfs/buffs to skills. I don't think they mentioned lanes, towers, or creeps.

The 1/1/3/1 boat kill thing for kunkka is a pretty good idea because his level 1 boat hits for 400 which is quite a lot for a level 1 ult with ton of other poo poo attached. I'll have to try that.

THE AWESOME GHOST posted:I tried out Maelstrom on Windrunner, after getting Phase / Mek / Force staff. The constant buffs to the ult made me decide to finally give it a try. It's actually not bad but your ult is still only up every 60 seconds, and getting it that late meant that really the only time it was useful was if I was ulting. The lightning procced less than I thought. Aghs is good!
