tfw the biggest autist was the pub we picked up. (don't ever let the lowpri man into your battlecup party)

Nothing like having to spam the cancel button bc he couldn't stop chat wheeling GG and saying its like breathing then he melts down bc our PL didn't have enough farm even tho TB only had 20m dragon lance lol

Techies is my most played character and I have a >50% win rate on him, but this is from old techies when you could still stack mines.

I think new techies is less fun, I badly miss the old version where you could instagib people with red mine stacks.

They should make the red mines like they used to be.

The level 25 moving-mine talent gives you a taste of it and I find it actually works nicer than before once you actually get it, I instagibbed a Rapier-carrying Medusa with a huge stack of mines once, which turned the game around.

And since moving mines applies to stasis traps and remote bombs you can have a moving pile of 10 mines that will snag someone and have them generally not able to escape.

If you've got -4s on the proximity mines you can churn out a huge number of mines that can defend and push back against even mega creeps.

And if you want to push up with the mines then you basically end up with an ever-growing wall of mines marching towards the ancient.

But taking moving mines doesn't let me become my true form, artillery support techies.

Chimp_On_Stilts: Aug 31, 2004; Holy Hell.

Something very bad must have happened at Valve for the downtime to be this long. It's now gone through peak European and USA hours.

I won both downtime matches I played quite handily. I assume not using MMR to matchmake has resulted in badly lopsided games

It's the ending of fight club but instead of credit records being blown up it's MMR databases.

# ? Mar 28, 2018 16:23

emdash: Oct 19, 2003; and?

there was some routine SQL job loving up and causing the GC to go down for several minutes at a time, sometimes several times a day. In order to get it to work properly again, they prob had to repair one or several huge tables

In the end it was down about 11 hours

Kill All Cops: Apr 11, 2007; Pacheco de Chocobo; Hell Gem

Most late game viable carries suck at the first half of the game. The key is to get items that give you an edge in survival and boosts your ult utility and that item is called a basher.

imo i honestly think ppl should just get back to playing riki as a timing core and give that bitch farm priority so he can get the quick nullfire blade and go around owning supports with blinkstrike/purge/cloud for 20 mins, go beyond godlike, and then lose.

Ada: Apr 22, 2014; Practice proper gun's safety.

Yeah but invoker has exort and also he's ranged and doesn't have to stand on the wrong side of the creeps to deal damage. Also his spells actually do things.

Man now I'm remembering the dark times when Invoker didn't just start with invoke and could only have one spell till invoke was level 2. God bless

I love Riki but he's a terrible carry because he has like 1200 base hp and 5 base armor at level loving 20. You die in one disable unless you're insanely far ahead of the enemy team.

Techies should do like 100 damage at level 1 but have only 1 autoattack every 3-4 seconds.

Ayy!! This text is-a the color of marinara! Ohhhh!! Dat's amore!!

The low BAT is fun too, though. And he'd basically not be able to interact with a lane. I guess that parts not horrible, but he would be in a unique position where he might not get enough attacks to get all the cs in a wave without burning mana.

what if at lvl 25 he did 500 dmg but had a 50/50 of exploding and dying with every attack. maybe it could be a nuke that did friendly fire
