Welp, after winning two games I'm back to having terrible teammates and being stomped all the time I guess I will stick to playing during night time [editline]9th August 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=Jetamo;37154038]They're already in the MDL files, I just view the files in the SFM SDK/CSGO SDK and the animations.

Letting Anti-Mage get fed 340 CS by 30 mins in a Pro Game is criminal. The Defense is on atm btw. [url]http://www.joindota.com/en/live/tobiwan[/url] 3rd game in the PB Mouz Semi

[QUOTE=ForgottenKane;37145309]Most people never seem to respond to this, as we're not any top-league freaking players, obviously. Plus, I never said that his ult was game breaking, ever. Where are you getting this from? I've already done a bunch of games handling that combo and it's worked wonderfully. [editline]8th August 2012[/editline] Hiding a Naix inside of Riki while cloaked never seems to cease surprising any of the enemies for some reason.[/QUOTE] Perhaps the part where you said enemies are pretty much dead. Flat out, they should not be unless they are playing extremely stupidly, which always results in riki getting fed. Double carry lanes are awful, and double melee carry lanes are worse. End of discussion. Moving on: Mouz vs potm botm game 2 was pretty neat. Some good plays, but it was rather one sided once antimage got his 15 minute poor mans, boots, and battlefury. EDIT: 4 minute fountain dives. Mouz general.

dazzle + broodmother would be a great laning combo Surround person w/ spiders, dazzle shadow waves

Everyone seems to rat on him though because he's not the best carry out of everyone. There really isn't that much of a hero that could be considered shit. AoE armor reduction isn't much of a joke on top of the damage it deals. With a proper team that can keep people in there, alchemist can wreck shit. A subpar stun that could be used to stack on top of a hero you're chasing. He also has one of the best farming abilities in the game, one level of greed early game and a decent last hitting alchemist will have much more gold than an antimage that gets the same level of last hits. Finally, he has the fastest BAT in the game when you ult in time. Generally I build Armlet - MoM on him since he has so much HP and is pretty tanky. The attack speed on top of a basher is pretty amazing. And if people do hate me for building MoM, then you can just build a curiass instead to help everyone on your team and help you become even more tanky. I've carried a few games with an alchemist because everyone seems to underestimate him and how much damage he does. He can't outcarry void/spectre with the same level of farm but he definately is far from being a "Shit carry"

oh shit its thursday isn't it

[QUOTE=l l;37156765]oh shit its thursday isn't it[/QUOTE] Today is a Thursday in NA and SA Today is the beginning of Friday in the eastern EU

I don't think Alchemist is shit, he just requires a lot of teamwork positioning and the player has to be fantastic at last-hitting. I think everyone hates him because he's the first hero that always shows up in all pick and people get tired of looking at him or something. (This is my reason anyway)

He also has awful stat gain He's pretty good in ult form though and basically relies fully on it

[QUOTE=Cloak Raider;37156303] it's something to laugh at when you realise that he does almost no damage in team fights, and everyone leaves him till the end because then everyone focuses him and he dies in half a second.[/QUOTE] Except he has the Lowest BAT in the game while hsi ult is up and is perfectly capable of doing damage. also that's half the reason you build Radiance on him. [editline]9th August 2012[/editline] OH GOD SWAP IS IN. JOYOUS JOYOUS DAY! [editline]9th August 2012[/editline] Wait you can't fucking use it in SD then what is the point. What the fuck Valve. What the actual fuck.

[QUOTE=RagerTrader;37156919]Except he has the Lowest BAT in the game while hsi ult is up and is perfectly capable of doing damage. also that's half the reason you build Radiance on him. [/QUOTE] sure if the enemy team just stand around and let you hit them constantly to take advantage of his full bat aka if they're completely retarded.

Swap.. Not in SD. Umm...

[quote]- Added Swap Hero. [B]This cannot be used[/B] after creeps spawn or [B]in SD[/B]. Accessible via right click on heroes in the scoreboard.[/quote] [B][I]FUCK[/I][/B]

Oh well I guess RD is better now at least.

This makes Random draft with 5 mans worth playing. I can finally instalock ward bitches (always short in supply in RD) when I get first/second pick and not gimp my team. Not having it in SD is kind of annoying, but I've always personally felt that the point of SD is to force you into outside the box situations.

I hope there are new cosmetics in the update. It sucks that you can't swap in SD though..kinda misses the point.
