Leech seed does good damage, great healing and lets you run at people nonstop during lane phase with trees obscene base damage, the change to living armour to be flat armour rather than damage block also makes it way more effective during mid-late game fights

I got bodied by a Tree / Necro offlane so hard this weekend. I think I picked Chen first and they the carry picked Anti Mage last lol

Totally surviving on my own. On LAND!
Quelling blade is only 100g now and you can literally chop down all the trees near lane before the game starts.

It's hilarious to see the tree get to lane and realize he's a slow, low armor melee with nowhere to hide.

i dropped out of guardian and into herald recently and the games are so much worse. last night had a Spectre eating poo poo in lane saying we just needed to wait for his timing. his timing was lvl 15 with Blademail and Heart where we walked down from highground while 4v5 and got wiped.

I've been having a surprisingly number of Slardars go Mask --> Blink and crush for the first 12 minutes, then mercilessly feed from 12 - 35 because they don't have BKB and keep dying while trying to complete it :(

I got to fight a Slardar that did this and it went down exactly like that, dude wanted a full silver edge before he started on BKB and by the time he got it we'd clawed back into the game and could kite him for the duration.

It's kind of confusing because the Overwolf Dota 2 app is also called Dota Plus. I don't think the Valve subscription has that feature.

Doesn’t seem to affect overwolf at all, based on twitch clips

e: i'm reading that the overwolf dotaplus dev has now disabled all the ban suggestions and other profile-accessing features in a patch, so I guess he thought his app was going to start getting people banned.

loving forced 50%, after getting to 980 mmr I’ve been 50% over my last 25 games.

Gabe just doesn’t want me to hit 1k mmr.

Some of the highlights have been; solar crest PA, mid Rubick (works for topson, not in guardian), ags ck vs Earthshaker and too many carry Furions.

New Shard Idea: Multicast now also applies to auto attacks.



Give me a reason to want to take that +80 Damage talent, Ice Frog.

I've yet to see someone even try to go carry ogre since they gave him the bash talent, which is a sure sign that everyone is taking the game too dang seriously.

It’s a genuine rant, maybe the forced 50% is a bit bollocks. But why can I go on a 6 win streak, then straight after get a bunch of item destroying, run down mid, mouth breathers.

It’s a conspiracy
