It's because I'm not a mod.

Woah, that must have been unintended. Does that mean that If NP is on my team I can send tons of Treeants into my snowball and do absurd damage? Engima, NP, and Tusk as an aggro-trilane confirmed to be real?

I'm pretty sure the whole thing with techies is what happened after the the snowball. I mean, there is a video of a techies+tusk taking out a half destroyed tower AND two rax just with one snowball!

Mic_128 · Sep 14, 2014

Yeah, mines do siege damage to towers, to tusk would roll up a bunch of mines, roll a creep as it passes the tower and one-shot it.

Lizalfos · Sep 16, 2014

Techies/Pudge is real. Shipping them now. I'm very glad Pudge dumped Chen so this could happen.

Ignatius · Sep 16, 2014

I really just want 6.82 to come out soon, getting pretty sick of faceless and tinker all day e'eryday.

Lizalfos · Sep 16, 2014

So I know pub wise Faceless is in every game but my bracket is too low for there to be lots of Tinker players.

Are they dominating competitive too?

I really need to think more in my games: builds, positioning, pushes, lanes, and everything. The hard part is correctly accessing the enemy team, if you overestimate you outsmart yourself. I need to win more than 55% of my games.

DJCrinkleCut · Sep 19, 2014

I may just abstain from Dota until 6.82 comes out.
It won't be that long right?
...right?

Lizalfos · Sep 22, 2014

I really want to see a complete disregard for everyone in low MMR. I honestly don't care if you think Riki and Bloodseeker are unfair. So gimmie more phantoms for my lancer. I hope that the Roshan means that we are getting an easier lvl 1 Rosh, that would be interesting to see (isn't ever going to happen).

Ignatius · Sep 23, 2014

That Chen and Phoenix Aghs changes.

DJCrinkleCut · Sep 23, 2014

I will slaughter my enemies with my armies of Ancient Golems.
Also, I am so hype for Ogre Magi. So much regen, and I will find a way to make Riki offlane work.

Sinz · Sep 24, 2014

Guys, BS looks really cool. I don't know how good, but he looks really cool now. That w effect is super cool.

Mic_128 · Sep 24, 2014

Town portal scrolls on sale! Now only 100 gold! That's 25% off! Don't get caught with out one!

DJCrinkleCut · Sep 24, 2014

Bounty Runes and TP scroll cost reduction?
Supports rejoice!

I'm not sure that I'm a fan of his changes. His time as a mid machine seems to be over, but there might be some super intense synergy with Blood Rage and Zues or something.

No man the dream is blademail.

edit:
You take 40% more damage and then you deal an additional 40% damage back. Its a hell of a lot of damage.

DJCrinkleCut · Sep 24, 2014

Bloodrage Zeus or Prophet seems silly.
Maybe Bloodseeker could be some kind of support now? Blood Rite seems like an okay ability for zoning an offlaner or a dual lane.

so its actually 3.0 damage if you blood rage both targets.

.8 * 1.4 *1.4 *1.4 *1.4 = 3.07328

DJCrinkleCut · Sep 25, 2014

I'm considering buying the Shadow Fiend Arcana, and I don't even play Shadow Fiend.

Send it to me :D

Lizalfos · Sep 26, 2014

I'm just glad that my couriers don't die to techies anymore. Everything else is just a bonus.

LilSassy · Sep 26, 2014

I would hate to see bloodseeker support.

Lizalfos · Sep 26, 2014

He won't, if he did he would just be a poor man's version of supports that have damage amplification spells.

DJCrinkleCut · Sep 26, 2014

This meta seems really fun so far. Lots of fighting. Hopefully something stupid to exploit isn't found.

Ceadda · Sep 27, 2014

I like the AoE spell for Bloodseeker now, might help his high level play. Not too sure about Blood Rage yet.

Lizalfos · Sep 28, 2014

I think I might start winning more games now that its all fighting based. I would always try to push in pubs but my team doesn't ward or help split push. :L

I can also convince my team to Rosh now. Maybe Rosh moving made them realize that he exists in the game.

It definitely is and the power spike is enormous when you get it, super rough when the bkb's come out though. Super fun to play with a real solid jungle speed too though.

I'm really happy with the hero changes in this patch. huskar is amazing now. void is easier to deal with. omni is LITERALLY UNKILLABLE. still sad about how trash tinker is now

I think Tinker is still good. You just need to go for the old build of shivas/sheep instead of dagon eblade.

Lizalfos · Sep 29, 2014

I haven't tried Tinker yet. Is Dagon just unaffordable mana wise?

Sinz · Sep 29, 2014

Its still very affordable. I just think that Shivas is a better option(but it also costs more.) because it increases your farming speed as well as kill potential.

Ahahahahahahahaha! :D :D

Also Ogre is much more enjoyable early game. First match with him since the patch, realised about 10 minutes in that I was farming well (aka, denying, not dying, scoring a lucky kill) and despite frequent harass hadn't used a tango. That regen boost is wonderful ^^

I think Tinker actually got gutted in this patch, can't farm ancients and dagon/eblade is made so much weaker

Ignatius · Oct 5, 2014

I'm addicted to Bloodseeker, help.

Lizalfos · Oct 5, 2014

I really need to play games to get a solo MMR.

I can't deal with people playing the position 1 carry in hard lane.
