remember the very first game of pro dota. they should've been disqualified for playing like that at 5 loving am.

i wish tournaments including ti switched to proper brackets. no winners and losers you just get seeded based on record in that opening round and go from there like real sports do.

nerds can't handle tournaments that aren't double elimination brackets for some reason. it's the worst.

reverse captains mode would be a lot of fun to see in this patch now that a lot of heroes are out of garbage tier

will arteezy actually stay on this EG roster or will he jump ship again? I hope he stays because EG sucks and they deserve each other.

And why do you think that is, JPJ? Surely it's all on their end!

Anyway, let's take bets on the new hero that will be the new timbersaw/sd/od? In no particular order, I will say:

Kunkka (maybe the 3 years of steady buffs or however long it's been will finally make it so in the pro scene)
Chaos knight (much of the same + hilarious oddball aghs upgrade because its icefrog)
Crystal Maiden (new item that makes her too good + meta shift)

maybe you missed the kunkka phase we had but he already got needed m8

I'm not gonna poo poo my pants about the talent tree stuff but most of them aren't even interesting, or worse, they're garbage compared to the other choice.

I hope the suggested picks thing will be like Overwatch and prevent the 3 HC and a Jungler thing that has completely overrun the mmr dregs since I've started playing again. But probably not because I actually think a good portion of pubs only know how to play like 5-10 heroes.

In 7.00 if you have an Sniper Luna PA team the game should just close your client if you try to pick Jungle LC.

the jungle changes mean jungle LC is dead, right? please god say yes

I still occasionally get a hitch while playing Dota2 that isn't present in any other game that I play, but that was present long before 7.00 and seems less frequent since the patch if anything. Whenever that's not happening though I have fantastic performance with everything maxed cause I spent too much money on a PC.

Yesterday all three of my games were against a Monkey King and my pals kind of suicided into his lane repeatedly while I did my own thing on the midline, is that hero actually super OP or am I just getting a distorted view since I can never fight one without at least a 5-kill gold/xp lead on me?

MK's laning phase is very very strong and you must respect it or you will die to him a lot

necro's not any worse than he was before but he fits a fun new niche of dumpstering physical carries who think they can jump on him. he's kind of a different flavour of pugna now, but lacks the strong tower damage that hero brings. I imagine you'd pick him in a scenario where you want to really win a lane and the enemy have a scary core. he also brings a lot of sustain to pushes and team fights.

it's more about the CD reduction combined with the +2s chains talent than lovely flameguard damage.

you build dagon and spam remnants and chains all over the enemy team until they abandon

Lone druids talents are loving broken right now. +200 range at level 10, -50 seconds respawn at 20, and -10s savage road cooldown at 25. With talents like that, why put anything besides boots and oov on the bear?

the power jump at 15 with +65 damage is the big one IMO
