I'm glad that they gave weaver another immortal instead of a hero like Jakiro or Oracle, IMO.

The Sven sword is surprisingly restrained for a Sven sword, and the Sand King claws are okay, but the rest look terrible.

taking towers is insanely harder and the jungle got nerfed and her spiders feed a gently caress ton of gold

how brood end game

Even if she gets off to a good start, if you don't get far enough ahead that you're unmanageable then end the game, seems like she always reaches the point where like 'i wish i had almost any other hero than a brood on my team'

Besides a couple tiny blips she's almost always been dumpster tier. Even if she trashes the lane against her once it reaches mid-late she offers almost nothing to the team.

Immortal 3 Verdicts
Legion immortal looks good, the overwhelming odds effect is GARBAGE, probably don't use
Specter immortal has a really cool dagger effect but is really gaudy and obnoxious on the hero itself, item is DUBIOUS
Winter Wyvern immortal looks decent, but she has better headslot items. The Cold Embrace effect is actually really cool, APPROVED
Sand King immortal looks fine except has a big giant pulsating flippin TUMOR on his pincer, like it is really nasty to look at. changes his caustic finale to give the target tumors that then burst
*this is really gross, DO NOT USE THE CRIXALIS IMMORTAL
Viper immortal: doofy hat for your already doofy hero, actually looks okay tbh, changes his orb effect to a kinda gaudy thing, reminds me of the -armor orb from WC3 or w/e??? lets file this as a maybe
Weaver immortal actually doesn't look too bad, but tbh all his cosmetics bulk up and look weird on his slender model, so they all look weird. turns his swarm into like... cartoon pink amoebas?!!! units afflicted have cartoon amoebas all over them, very strange, maybe funny enough to use
I don't have a sven sword, so no review, but THAT'S THE VERDICT

- Ward changes mean it's easier for supports to deal with her in lane
- Raindrop item means your nuke is less good
- Feels like spiders do less damage to towers
- Necro definitely does less to towers
- Diving under towers slightly harder
- People are better about stacking stuns on you due to the bars if you get caught out for .2 seconds, so there is less of a crap enemy player buffer for gently caress ups

There was a brief time when Brood was good a couple years ago, when she could walk off the map with web. She was a terror for the month or however long it lasted.

That's always a threat. But it's fresh in people's minds, let the meta shift to something less about team fights and brood might make a comeback.

I mean they made a bunch of changes to encourage splitpushing again but all it ended up doing was giving NP and Brood like a 2% winrate boost and people kept teamfighting anyway.

cause this is how -em balance always devolves. icefrog should've known better. if the risk to solo farm lanes separately is never worth it, and farming waves takes 2 seconds for every hero, then it's not worth it.

I really hope Rubick doesn't come in second in the arcana vote, I really don't want to spend $150 or whatever on his arcana.

Valve is hopeless if Rubick Arcana isn't a temporary poorly fitting Arcana piece of whatever hero you steal an ultimate from.

I need the slark plush but gently caress shipping prices from welovefine.

e: On a second look everything seems pretty lacklustre this year. No digital items in blind boxes, no pins, both the mystery boxes are just full of last years merch sold at a premium price so they can get rid of old stock.

Don't forget to reserve the 2nd post for meme posts. I need my shitposts easily accessed for the upcoming TI.

I want that Tide mug and a CM vinyl. Is there ever a secondary market that pops up for this that is not 'exchange dupes in front of TI secret shop'?

Well not every single popular hero can farm like that, but if you don't have at least 2 of those heroes on your team your lineup stinks.

Actually not finishing until after TI is great - this way they can do the whole Animal House style ending montage.

"Tobiwan was arrested at TI7 for creepily eyeballing cosplayers and pronouncing Drow as Droh"

"Demon became the first player to be kicked mid-game at TI"

and so on
