Do you have to buy ($$) the new Chest with the cool Chen & PB skins? I thought it was part of the Battlepass but I don't seem to have any of them (level 263 BP)

 Had an easy win game last night, 1 racks away from megacreeps. Our carry jugg gets aegis and then decides he wants to push highground before our raid boss tiny respawns. Pushes into Bristle, sniper and Slark, has no bkb, dies twice, no buyback, instead of pulling back to defend (we had all 3 lanes of racks + 2 tier 2 towers), our mid pudge goes in to try "help", dies with no buyback and they waltz down mid and win... Silver lining though is im enjoying playing grimstroke, hes very broken in lane with a melee offlaner

I got stuck playing pos1 my last two games, which is probably my worst position. Drow & Warlock vs Magnus & Abadon; got pooped on and was sure we were gonna lose but somehow we kept it together and I got a Rampage as we pushed for rax so we took their throne instead  Game after that I played some good ol' Skeleton King and we just crushed all 3 lanes basically. Good times.Lost my 1 Pudge game though. Started out OK, fairly even, but then our Slark rushed Aghs which seems highly questionable? We just had zero damage and got poo poo on by Alc / Weaver  I generally never buy chests but I decided to buy 10x of the Collector Cache. Got the Chen hat I wanted, but of course not the PB one which is a shame because while I do like Chen a lot he's not a hero I'm always in the mood to play, whereas PB I have to talk myself out of picking him literally every game.

One small item (diffusal / echo saber / midas) into aghs is the typical build for Slark this patch because it lets him go in and out of fights and gives a lot more chase potential.

If he went Echo first I probably wouldn't have thought anything about the Aghs. But yea getting it first, he just couldn't kill anything. Enemy team was Weaver, Alchemist, Puck, Lion and Treant. With how mobile Puck and Weaver are I could totally see wanting the added mobility. But gotta get a little damage first little fish...

Yeah maybe aghs first works if they're not that mobile actually, since you can build the damage from stacks then just chase them down, but if you don't have the damage to finish off puck and weaver during the disable they're just going to gtfo I don't really feel like slarks on my team accomplish that much lately, but I think that's lineup related. Usually end up drafting almost like a 4 protect 1 with the first 4 picks, then getting a slark or riki or someone else who doesn't want to stay in a fight and 4 other heroes that hold a zone for a while but lack the damage to finish off the enemy team while slark is chasing a support away, when we'd rather have a drow or sniper or someone throwing damage into the fight instead.

Slark is firmly in that space of "the enemy Slark picker is a God, they when I / my team mates picks it we're braindead troglodytes"

I thought they removed that too, but just checked the wikia then in game and you still get penalized if you click beyond its max range. Also, I have 3,825 Hours logged in DOTA and just now I learned that Blink Dagger supposedly plays 1 of 2 sound effects depending on how far you Blinked? https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/dota2_gamepedia/images/0/07/Blink_Dagger_Blink_1.mp3 https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/dota2_gamepedia/images/7/77/Blink_Dagger_Blink_2.mp3 It says that second clip "only plays when the blinked distance is greater than 960" Just loaded up a demo game and I can't hear the difference in game though...

Daily rant about dota pubs: A) Why the gently caress dont carries buy BKB, i swear to christ ive lost 3 games this week due solely to our cores not having bkb and being stun locked in fights. B) Why the gently caress dont Enigmas use their ults unless they will catch 5 people in it.

If the carry's Juggernaut or Lifestealer they might get away without BKB otherwise I totally agree. When I play PA carry for example I usually avoid fights unless BKB's off cooldown.

So the last two carries were Jugg and Lifestealer, but when you are facing a team with CM, Shadow Shaman & LC i think a bkb is stupidly useful, especially for jugg as once blade fury runs out you are in trouble

my favorite thing to do as spirit breaker is to show on one side of the map, then go out of vision for a bit, tp to the lane i want to gank and charge at the hero from there. cross map charges are overrated imo, i only use long distance charges to get back to lane after a gank. if i'm going on a guy, i'd rather come at them from angles that aren't warded and have a shorter charge anyway so teammates don't scare them away by getting aggressive the second they see the charge icon

Yeah that's nice too, or if you have a PA or Riki who needs vision to blink on the enemy, or the enemy is a blink guy like AM or QOP. But generally, if I'm the one initiating or I want the charge to actually hit the target, I try to do it from closer range, if I'm trying to keep vision or a fight is going on already, I'll throw it on one of the enemies in there from wherever I am when I realize what's going on Also the aghs is mandatory

Wraith Pact Ward aura no longer reduces Magical or Pure damage (still affects physical damage from attacks and spells) Yay! Pulse Nova Now has a 1s cooldown after it is toggled off Damage decreased from 100/150/200 to 90/140/190 Also yay!

I wish their patch notes page wasn't impossible to read on a phone, drat. Can't get my desk for a few hours. Kind of a lame change to Wraith Pact, like why ever buy Crimson Guard I guess? Don't get me wrong it needed to be changed, but that just seems really uninspired. Sab669 fucked around with this message at 22:59 on Nov 29, 2022 |

 Like I said before, it already has a visual pulse effect to it despite the fact that if you are in range you are effected by it. Lean into that and make it actually apply a short debuff to enemies in range each time it pulses.The totem lasts 25 seconds; make it pulse every 5 seconds and debuff enemies for ~2 seconds each pulse. And maybe make it no longer killable? Tinker with durations / cooldowns / recipe costs etc. I wouldn't miss it one bit if it were gone, but I don't think it's nearly as hard to balance as Necrobook was.
