do I have to remember you it's valve we are talking about here

[QUOTE=Captain Chalky;37550999]I still think it's a possibility. They didn't say "nope, absolutely no way we are doing an update this week", but more like "we [I]probably[/I] won't be able to do an update this week so keep your expectations at low".[/QUOTE]Main thing was he said that the Valve offices were pretty empty this week, so that's why I don't feel we'll get anything significant. Unless they just do a bugfix patch, or they did a ton of testing on him in the past month, getting a hero like Meepo through the test client and onto the full game, catching everything would be very hard to do without the full staff there.

[QUOTE=Belivo;37547086]Yes, and it also makes it deal double the damage from the 1st rank if you get another point on it.[/QUOTE] I don't understant this, care to elaborate?

[QUOTE=Captain Chalky;37552080]But Meepo is ready. The only thing to do is to ship the update.[/QUOTE] Not exactly. A hero like Meepo is bound to have some sort of gamebreaking bug, and releasing him without a crew at valve to fix it asap is not a good idea.

[QUOTE=RagerTrader;37552104]Not exactly.

Rubicks ulti was completely broken in test client and that worked out well.

[QUOTE=Badunkadunk;37551782]Kinda shocked there isn't 300 pages of posts whining about no new heroes and saying they'll boycott Valve. Are the dev forums... evolving?[/QUOTE] They're gonna be patient until after thursday.

Where are the new heroes!? Im not patient, they should have released them when the final ancient went down in the finale.

[QUOTE=BloodYScar;37552628]Where are the new heroes!? Im not patient, they should have released them when the final ancient went down in the finale.[/QUOTE] It didn't go down, they ended the game early.

[QUOTE=leonthefox;37551621]I don't understant this, care to elaborate?[/QUOTE] I put it very simply, not thinking you are stupid: I am just tired as fuck. It goes from 5 damage to 10, so it's basically twice the damage with one point.

Teamwork in DOTA 2 today has been like some sick fucked up joke.. There has been none. What the hell happened over night? Constantly losing what the christ. Every teammate is passive, angry or egocentric what the fucking christ?

[QUOTE=RagerTrader;37552104]Not exactly. A hero like Meepo is bound to have some sort of gamebreaking bug, and releasing him without a crew at valve to fix it asap is not a good idea.[/QUOTE] good thing theyve been working on him since april

[QUOTE=leonthefox;37545788]How the fuck do you counter TA? I'm not talking about when she melds by the way, rather how she shits on everyone once she gets desolator[/QUOTE] A good counter is Doom due to his W, but anyone with Radiance also can wreck her shit. Lone Druid is also pretty damn good. [editline]5th September 2012[/editline] Now that I think of it pretty much all tanks can counter TA as long as she's not really fed. [editline]5th September 2012[/editline] I once killed a TA with Alchemist's Q. Was very funny.

Pudge counters ta because stuns don't hit her when she's invisible but the hook breaks it

[QUOTE=Rarara;37553471]And then refraction blocks everything.[/QUOTE] Rot.

Seer is amazing vs Lanaya

So I played Lycan for the first time today it felt like cheating

How does that "destroy and item get an item" thing work? You just have a chance to get another item after deleting one?

I want my shitty wizard. :(

[QUOTE=Banned?;37553978]How does that "destroy and item get an item" thing work? You just have a chance to get another item after deleting one?[/QUOTE] You delete an item. Chances are, you may get an item 1 rank higher. Mostly you wont though. I'm going to delete the shitty maruhai mask from international chest, i just have to learn if its rare or not.

[QUOTE=Lefter;37554114]I'm going to delete the shitty maruhai mask from international chest, i just have to learn if its rare or not.[/QUOTE] I just can't stop laughing every time you do that.

Deleted a forgemaster's armlet, Bloodletter, Ceremonial gloves and Exort bracers, only got some uncommon Demon helm for Axe. Oh well.

Anyone think Meepo test update tonight?

Apparently Spectre is also a wonderful counter against TA... Her passive goes straight through TA's shell and if you get Spectre farmed enough to get a good amount of tankiness, then TA's fucked.

[QUOTE=Mr_Awesome;37554366]Anyone think Meepo test update tonight?[/QUOTE] A good chunk of Valve hasn't returned from the International. So unlikely.
