Differently named effects pretty much always stack.

Throw in some Venomancer too for even further heal reduction.

Little help with stopping morph, but being a rubick against him and stealing morph feels so drat good. You can have twice the health of the pos3, though you probably want to buy some cheap armor as otherwise you have none. The only weird thing is if you get aghs you only get one of the two which is useless.

I find it interesting there is the whole Goon international happening that seems completely separate from this thread (based on not seeing posts on it). Is there a real link to the goon Dota discord, is Pyrion's discord that or is it an offshoot of people no longer posting on SA?

It’s a Pyrion discord thing. There’s very few people in there who post here. I think it’s me and Jonas, and maybe one or two other lurkers.

To be clear I have also actually watched a lot of Slacks and really liked his old gameplay and lore youtubes; its just a little concerning that he has not really grown as a person in the last decade, especially since he's got a kid now.

It’s a twitch sub discord only, I use my Bezos bucks from Prime on it. There’s a lot of folk around for games, the advice given is on the whole dogshit; and there’s some really hot takes on food.

Been playing this and it feels busted. It feels like I make two lanes win easily, and my lane ends up fine or won. Late game you also can easily shift to being a ratting bastard.

I can't even put my finger on why he feels so obscenely brutal now, but he's blown ahead of WD for me as for who to Ban in my Unranked All Picks.

I'm not sure if the Sprout DPS is too high, if it's just losing the heal on the Tango or if it's wasting 100g and an inventory space on a Quelling Blade but he is a loving menace. I think it's really just all 3 pieces combined in addition to all the other reasons he's normally annoying.

Honestly I think he just clicks hard and from far away, and either forcing the sprout damage or wasting healing is just a sweet bonus.

Why are people who are doing their calibration games tend to do completely wackjob poo poo? I get that the system doesn't know what MMR they are so there's going to be more variance but it's way more than that. Like uh, it's probably a bad idea to abandon one of your calibration games because something non-ideal happened but I've seen it more than once recently.

did an organised 5v5 with a bunch of mates last night, was super fun but the team imbalance was a little skewed as to be expected, I ended up mid against a guy probably about 2/2.5k higher than me, i first picked Puck purely since I knew that was their favourite hero and let me tell you i learned a lot about Puck v Invoker. The way he goaded a jaunt from his right click into a tornado emp made me feel like i was getting clowned on, got the first kill in mid on him though, thanks to a clinkz and managed to kill one of my better dota friends on the carry wraith king with a max range illusory orb so all in all I was happy :D

anyway that was a bit intense so afterwards queu'ed as 4 natures prophet and crushed a pub, all in all a good nights dota
