Title should've just been ALCH IS BACK
gotta keep it simple
[QUOTE=titopei;37872661]What was the last big patch?[/QUOTE]
6.74, the one that made Morphling transform from never picked in comp to potential 1st ban.
[QUOTE=BeardyDuck;37866194]but being mid DOES equal ganking. that's the whole point of mid, to gain levels faster and control the runes to gank.[/QUOTE]
I hate when the enemy tower humps, and have wards everywhere and the one time a chance arises to gank they farm creeps after swinging at the enemy once during the gank and scream at you for not killing them. People assume gankers just cruise in wipe the lane and run back and need no help sometimes and it really makes you not want to help them.
[QUOTE=leonthefox;37867049]I saw someone saying how jungling was still possible with a stout shield and some regen, you will have to tank for the wolves until level 5 and get vlads by 10 mins. I really need to test this out[/QUOTE]
Then lina comes in every two minutes and blasts Lycan with fire for an instakill when he's limping around with 100 hp trying to farm.

i.e. to counter Lycan's jungling you need more than 100% team commitment
Before that warding him off and ganks were barely enough to hamper early jungling.
I also wonder if Ursa is going to see rise, as he now remains the best solo Rosher. Enigma can do it, but it's more dangerous and enigma is better used early in ganks and black holes, while Ursa is a lot like Lycan in terms of damage delivery, he just needs to catch up to people.
Can't wait to see tournaments on 6.75
Ursa is still a pubstomper and was made worse now because his Overpower was given a casting animation.
[QUOTE=GlebGuy;37873046]So why doesn't anyone ever use Shadow Poison as Shadow Demon? I mean, it looks like a really fun spell.[/QUOTE]
If you have a lanemate, the other 2 spells are a lot more helpful.
I had a weird idea for a hero. He's pretty much a ranged hero, until you skill his ultimate. After that, he pretty much becomes a Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde styled character. He changes into one form at random. Like literally random, the player has no control whenever he transforms. But you have to stay in the current form for at least one minute before he can transform again. Once the hero transforms, he becomes a melee hero with a set of different skills.
I'm not good with thinking up two sets of balanced skills for one hero though. :v:

i use it if mid/solo, works well
What could Shadow Amulet possibly be used for practically?
Cheap way for CM or WD to ultie easier?

Early juke-ing using the fog of war?
Fucking matchmaking me queuing me against an insta-pick invoker with 1k wins and nothing but invoker picks just because he queued someone with less than 100 wins :/
[QUOTE=injustpotato;37875628]What could Shadow Amulet possibly be used for practically?[/QUOTE]
To dodge shit possibly? Or to combine with a blink, and do what TA does
Dodging single-target projectiles is the first thing that comes to mind..
Can you dodge things if it has such a long fade time?
Blinking, juking, and channeled ults without buying a BKB or a dumb Shadow Blade seem more logical
Well it's indefinite, like a buyable meld with a longer fade time. Just another buyable skill item like blink dagger with its own downside compared to the real deal.
fuck me
I'm dominating as undying, and my internet begins to throw a tantrum, I reset everything, but by the time I'm back the match is over and I'm in low priority pool

This happened to me as Spirit Breaker.
That feel when you are two rax down to a farmed lycan and they throw the game.

I still don't understand how people can play 1 hero so many times in a row.

My ping spiked to 1000 earlier during a match for a good 45 seconds and it was horrifying to just sit there and wait it out.

Pretty much same here but only that i wasnt dominating (my team was) and when i came back to the still going match i blocked a teammate path to the fountain by accident and made him lost a rapier to the enemy team..
my shame knows no boundaries.

When I had my old router it would ONLY crash when I played dota and when it actually did work, I would have 100-300 ping. Shit sucked.

My router loves to die when my team is winning.
Wow CK is so much fun.
Started off a bit bad, getting killed by PA while both her and wisp were at very low hp, and then skele king started giving me shit on how I was feeding, despite the fact that I couldn't run away from a blinking PA...
Half way through the game, its illusion hell for everyone on radiant.
Full radiant goes in to try and kill one or two from dire, I release the illusions, and suddenly, all you see between the trees are chaos knights chasing and pulling people into them.
"chaos knight game now"
Sk ended up having less kills than me and dying just as many times, and the bastard got a Tickled Tegu in the end.
[QUOTE=Eonart;37877643]My dad got a new router just for time restrictions and it's buggy as shit. I'm too afraid to play.[/QUOTE]
Play an entire bot game and see what the result is.
Make sure to have net_graph set to 1 in console to keep track of your ping.
I just had the weirdest game ever. Playing as Wisp and it's like 20-48. 3 brs/russians w/e the hell I couldn't hear them, anyways they all feed and play like shit. So I finally just give up and sit in base and alt-tab. Then for shits I come back in and for shits I TP my lycan into their base and all of sudden base race. Next thing you know I get relocated back, kill the tiny bashing on our tree at half health and we win the game.
Then I open a crate and get a Strange octopus hat
Good day so far.
whenever i play silencer, I get called a huge dick
I kept a VS and CK at low mana and hp as support silencer. They got first blood on me, but i q'd before they killed me, resulting in bloodseeker getting a double kill
BS + silencer works well tbh, just both of you Q one person, they cant use any spells to end the dot

I just realized I played with you before
I think you were with colour tho, so not nearly as exciting.

Well silencer is a dick during the laning phase. Unless you're PA.
