I mean, you can ignore posters if you think they're bad and don't want to read them. It's pretty handy, and easier than having a pissing match that exacerbates the problem.

Euls is a really good item, so I've just been building that on Oracle as my main focus, but is there anything else I should be going for? Anything interact with his spells really well in a non-obvious fashion?

its not worth ignoring people

i have a clique of people who hang out together and like to call my wife fat every time they see me post and i dont have any of them on ignore

you shouldnt let people get to you on that level man, its not worth it

The best non-obvious reactions are with Eul's, I think. Eul's purges the heal from Flames, so you can flames - euls - flames - purge -flames to murder anyone forever. Also, you can cancel the cyclone with your purge, although I'm not sure how useful that is.

e: You can also channel fortune's end while they're in the cyclone so you get the full 3-second root when they land.

You go mana boots -> finish wand -> work on dagon 5. Turn self invisible and zap some poor into the ground. Bonus points if it's a broodmother

I have formulated the perfect yearbeastmode strategy: Play refresher Zeus, pay the beast points to Zeus ult too. That's more lightning bolts than I have mmr points.

Playing against a coordinated year beast team who has points is literally unwinnable, and the bar for "coordinated" is 6 feet under.

I've been having fun playing Undying in trench tier unranked. Is there anything really worth knowing beyond lane with someone with a stun, wait for the other dudes to push a little bit, hit both of them with decay and drop a tombstone between them and their tower? What items should I be gravitating towards?

I need some Oracle advice. I know how all his skills work, but I'm not entirely sure what items to go for or if there are any sneaky tricks you can pull with him beyond making an enemy magic immune. Any guide out there says Eul's but it feels like other fits might work out.

You build tanky on undying. You want to live as long as possible to continue to decay people, to put out your damage amp aura from your ult, and to keep healing as poo poo dies around you. Mek, pipe, Shivas, heart, vanguard if you are doing well early. Crimson guard... So forth.

Good luck with that Skadi, but Atos is def an A++ pickup. Shiva's Guard is also good.

Euls is really good. I just ended my last game by Eulsing out of a Clinkz' Orchid, disarming him when I landed, and then laughing my rear end off as our farmed PA blinked in to turn him into space vapor with the bonus damage.

The Flames -> Euls -> Flames -> Purge combo is also really nice. Having an urn is also really great, since Oracle's flimsy as hell and you can double up the healing during False Promise if the enemy doesn't have vision to break it.

Euls and an Urn will also take care of your mana problems forever. I've been starting Tangos/2x Gauntlet/Clarity/Courier or Wards -> brown boots -> finish urn -> straight into Euls and it's been great.

The #1 way to make gamers mad is to make jokes. I learned this first hand when I got banned from a few games/servers for G-rated jokes that didn't target individuals.

I still haven't ended up in LPQ for making jokes in dota though. I did have a 5 stack report me once.

Ability draft is fun.
Stomp + Power Cogs = lockdown out the rear end, on a really short cooldown.
Strafe + Chemical Rage = infinite deeps.
All four at the same time = fun as gently caress.

It's a pretty easy game mode to win or lose depending how you (or your team) use your brain(s), long before buying points comes into play.
