"- Fixed Coaches being able to become captains in Captains Mode & Captains Draft." I can just imagine that playing out. Some asshole coach picking 5 carries or 5 supports. "They took bara? you take furion"

Does that mean no more backtrack bullshit in duels now?

[quote]- Arcane Boots II can no longer be disassembled[/quote] But why? What is so game breaking about it?

you could use level 2 mana boots then level 1

[quote]- Fixed bug where "Demons Imprisoned" would not increment.[/quote] mmm?

- Fixed Press The Attack being unable to target siege units RIP towers RIP everything [editline]17th December 2013[/editline] ever

[QUOTE=pvt.meh;43207141]you could use level 2 mana boots then level 1[/QUOTE] So instead of fixing the problem they took the lazy way. Well, at least it makes sense.

[quote]- Fixed Magnetic Grip being able to pull you out of Duel, Blackhole and Chronosphere [/quote] Oh come on, how is that even bad?

[QUOTE=Samiam22;43207209]Oh come on, how is that even bad?[/QUOTE] Because it's not suppose to happen.

[QUOTE=Samiam22;43207209]Oh come on, how is that even bad?[/QUOTE] Force Staff has the same properties, it's just adding consistency with push abilities.

[QUOTE=Samiam22;43207209]Oh come on, how is that even bad?[/QUOTE] Faceless Void player suicide rates were at an all-time high.

[QUOTE=tso;43207144]mmm?[/QUOTE] Something to do with Soul Keeper and/or Abyssal Underlord. [url]http://dota2.gamepedia.com/Foulfell_Shard[/url] The icon has AM's symbol (Terrorblade's brother) but the description mentions abyssal energy. So I guess they have a Demon themed event planned.

[url]http://dota2.gamepedia.com/Foulfell_Shard[/url] The icon has AM's symbol (Terrorblade's brother) but the description mentions abyssal energy.

I want them to add more characters to WN :C

[QUOTE=Bryceanater;43207421]I want them to add more characters to WN :C[/QUOTE] volvo pls add rubcik

[quote]- Fixed Magnetic Grip being able to pull you out of Duel, Blackhole and Chronosphere[/quote] I do not agree with this. Not one bit.

You think a standard move ruining 3 huge ults was fair?

[QUOTE=Jaxe42;43207377]Something to do with Soul Keeper and/or Abyssal Underlord. [url]http://dota2.gamepedia.com/Foulfell_Shard[/url] The icon has AM's symbol (Terrorblade's brother) but the description mentions abyssal energy. So I guess they have a Demon themed event planned.[/QUOTE] Yea i know. Quite weird for valve to hype one event within another one i think. suspicious ya know. Don't know the trigger for demons imprisoned. Shadow Demon maybe. Maybe the event will change again after a week, like how wraith king rose.

[QUOTE=Totenkreuz;43207650]You think a standard move ruining 3 huge ults was fair?[/QUOTE] Are you saying that there aren't any other standard moves that ruin ults? Unless I'm reading the update wrong, it is saying that you can't pull team mates out of these ults right?

[QUOTE=slayer20;43207710]Are you saying that there aren't any other standard moves that ruin ults? Unless I'm reading the update wrong, it is saying that you can't pull team mates out of these ults right?[/QUOTE] yea, because it would make those ults completely useless, with no way to counter it.

[QUOTE=slayer20;43207541]I do not agree with this. Not one bit.[/QUOTE] Earth Spirit is still strong and useful as all fuck, I think he can survive another nerf.

[QUOTE=Naught;43207758]yea, because it would make those ults completely useless, with no way to counter it.[/QUOTE] it's not like you can pull your entire team out of a black hole

[QUOTE=Samiam22;43208100]it's not like you can pull your entire team out of a black hole[/QUOTE] yea, but if you manage to pull out someone who's a disabler, they could shut down enigma or pull out your carry so he can escape and fight another day you cant force staff out of there, you cant grip out of there.

[QUOTE]- Fixed bug where the tutorial gift gem would create ethereal sockets instead of normal sockets. Affected items have been fixed.[/QUOTE] It's me who found this and reported this :3 [editline]17th December 2013[/editline] And still not even a Thank you message.

Thank you.

[QUOTE=longbe96;43208457]It's me who found this and reported this :3 [editline]17th December 2013[/editline] And still not even a Thank you message.[/QUOTE] You know, there were people who were selling those glitched items for almost 700 dollars. I'll sleep good knowing they are raging hard over this. Edit: So I thank you in their stead. :v:

[QUOTE=Naught;43208376]yea, but if you manage to pull out someone who's a disabler, they could shut down enigma or pull out your carry so he can escape and fight another day you cant force staff out of there, you cant grip out of there.[/QUOTE] enigma wasn't an issue anyway, if you didn't get caught in black hole you can stun enigma by yourself and "pull out" all 4 it's mostly about pulling the chrono target last second, making the whole chrono wasted, and pulling your ally out of duel, making lc chase him until duel runs out (effectively forcing lc to suicide if you have allies around) [editline]17th December 2013[/editline] [QUOTE=longbe96;43208457]It's me who found this and reported this :3 [editline]17th December 2013[/editline] And still not even a Thank you message.[/QUOTE] Traders who used the gem to create bootleg unusuals are more likely to say "fuck you" than "thank you". :v: [editline]17th December 2013[/editline] thanks tho, one less kind of bullshit items on the market

has the patch been applied yet? Because I still have those Bootleg unusuals in my inventory :v:

Tresdin's gone from stronk to nuclear detonation site broken in two updates. I'm pretty fuckin' scared.
