Im desperate for that LC Immortal but not even able to play until the 26th of August. Untradeable/ungiftable is some bullshit. Someone use my compendium as a surrogate and ill give you all my immortal chests or something.

Immortal 3's all look like poo poo except Lina's proton cannon which will cost $200.

You can change your fantasy picks every day. I got 4/5 OG and a golden Mu so I'm pretty well set I think.

Are golden cards that only play twice a day going to be better than reds that play 3? I have a golden Mu but have Dendi, Maybe, and Miracle as my cores already.

the fantasy points seem to have stabilized now. i got 847 points yesterday, how y'all doing? also EG is going to have the roughest day one of group stage, ouch. playing against wings, navi and OG. liquid should be cruising.

I think the points are still changing, I went from 680ish to 383. Thanks Ehome.

Well that's a relief. I have a screencap ready for whoever wanted to know about how Navi.Artstyle was going to do in the fantasy draft. Did he really never place a single observer ward? Navi is definitely back...of the point earnings :v:


My gold ArtSytle got me 80 points. Thanks for nothing Navi.

actually OG being lower bracket is so far the only thing i got wrong :smug:


edit: let's not talk about fantasy points though because yesterday was brutal on that front

I got my dick blown off in fantasy yesterday (miracle notail reso fly saksa) but all the teams that got knocked out today got me some good cards, so here's hoping Miracle, w33, oldchicken, akke, and fenrir can get me back in it since im like 120 points off top 100 now. Im sure thats actually an insurmountable lead though.

oh poo poo i forgot i can recycle cards now!

(i had n0tail shadow bLink misery cr1t but still only ended up with 170some points)

Yep I got w33 and QO most notably from dusting so it wasn't a total loss of a day.

It would be awesome if Valve kept a database of some sort so we can look up players fantasy stats by day.

I realized that the Warhammer sets don't have anything Skaven related, which is a shame since they are the best Warhammer race.

There was a sick Riki set actually, probably getting saved for treasure 2 because it was one of the best for sure.

They did take 1st 2nd and 3rd in league, which is a much bigger appeal in Korea

If Valve gave a poo poo about anything but china in Asia im sure Korea would be making GBS threads all over every region in Dota as well

now, remember, this hero has an arcana coming out

Thats pretty much waht this set is. They probably hired a bunch of guys to send them arcana ideas, this was one of them that someone sent in as a rough draft (which is why it's garbage) that was ultimately declined being the Arcana and Valve was like alright just add that poo poo.

i think looking at hots and saying "yes the talents are the problem here" is not really seeing the forest for the trees.

hots sucks for the same reason hearthstone sucks, for the same reason overwatch sucks, for the same reason sc2 sucks (blizzard can't loving balance games.) hots is probably their least successful mp game but it released really late in a crowded genre when usually blizzard games have 0 competition.

actually Overwatch rules and is way more fun than Dota 2 ever was

Three reasons:
1. Roots were buffed: they prevent blinks. CM's ice block is essentially a stun where heroes can cast spells except blinks. At level 4 it lasts 3 seconds and has a 6 second cooldown. This is good.

2. Clarity potions were significantly buffed. This helps CM accelerate her early-game.

3. The meta has shifted into a lot of constant aggression and roaming. CM's aura enables mana-hungry ( / powerful!) heroes to do their thing more. This helps teams win.

and there's a 4th bonus in that CM is a great fit into nearly any lineup. She's an easy first / second pick when you don't want to reveal anything.

This is all not counting the fact that her ult is an extremely powerful teamfight damage source. Overall, CM is A tier.

e: and her q provides flying vision which is amazing

Sick, she's my favorite support to play so I'm glad to see she's strong. Any insight as to why QoP is so popular as well?

Level 25 qop talent is insane if you get mjolnir. You just do a crazy amount of damage

Makes sense. Do people build her as a right clicker these days or do veil/octarine/aghs? She was one of my fave mids before she got dumpstered way back.
