Guys, what happens if Rubick does Spell Steal on Kirby? What happens if Kirby swallows Rubick? I don't think I can sleep until I know the answer.

[QUOTE=Unisath;37963201]Guys, what happens if Rubick does Spell Steal on Kirby? What happens if Kirby swallows Rubick? I don't think I can sleep until I know the answer.[/QUOTE] Rubick gains the ability to steal abilities by eating people, or gale-force wind them in to his mouth. Kirby gains the ability to steal abilities without eating people.

Kinda off topic, but does anyone know if they plan on making any more parts of the "Are we heroes yet?" series. I thought it was absolutely awesome when I got around to reading it just now and some people apparently believe that it was just part 1 of many(DOTA 2 wiki). But I can't find any sources for this, is this true?

No one knows, but it would be cool.

If a Kirby swallows a second Kirby that has a power, the first Kirby will steal the power from the second Kirby. Would this also apply to Rubick/Kirby and vice versa?

[url]https://dotabuff.com/matches/47799656[/url] I don't fucking deserve this. I fucking rape mid, rape everything earlygame and leon decides it would be funny to fuck over our carry and our carry though it would be funny to encourage him to be a dick. Why do I bother playing with friends and not picking PRO COMPETITIVE TOP BAN TOP PICK every fucking game. Lucinice was the only person that, although new to dota, is not a complete fucking asshole and realizes his mistakes. Before someone makes a you mad because you bad joke at me please, don't fucking do it. I'm not in the mood after losing a game I should have won fucked up due to two bad bickering players.

[QUOTE=Eonart;37957426]There was also this things about one of the major tournament streams where a shit ton of viewers were actually bots with gibberish for names. I forgot to save the picture sadly. At least TI2 got legitimate viewers.[/QUOTE] This has part of it [img]http://niggaupload.com/images/xuOTM.jpg[/img]

[URL]https://dotabuff.com/matches/47797328[/URL] I am beyond speechless... I go jungle enigma while void and rubick go bot, fiend mid and wind top. Void asks for ganks whenever needed, and I say "sure, will be easy 3 on 2 + my minions" About less than 10 minutes in, void starts ping spamming and demanding ganks. I go there, but they catch on and retreat back to their towers. Void and rubick (butt buddies) start questioning what the hell I was doing there and ordering me to go back to the jungle. 10 minutes in, void and rubick die for the second time, pissed that I didn't come for the gank, and then I die because they 4 man gank me at the jungle. Void starts complaining and calling me a noob for not having a blink dagger already, saying he would have had one by then. From there on, his lane gets ganked to hell and back, and he and rubick start calling me a noob, telling me to shut up and telling everyone to report me for being a noob, for some unknown reason. Apparently, I couldn't farm anything and had to babysit void and rubick... Game goes on, we start ganking them, getting into team fights, I use my black hole, he gets right into the middle, and pauses it with his ulti, and then my whole team dies... Every goddamn fucking time I used my ulti, he went into it and paused it, only to fuck EVERYTHING up to us. He once chronosphered me right on the edge, giving qop a free kill from the outside. Even Shadow Fiend which was a pretty chill bro told him to just not use his ulti anymore and void just said "fuck off .|. noob" Game ends, 0-14 Fucking seriously. I actually thought I was playing a bit bad for not being there to gank, but fuck sakes, that void was possibly THE WORST void I've ever, EVER seen. My first times as void were better than this guy. And just to add insult to injury, he called me a bunch of shit, saying I sucked, when he alone literaly DESTROYED all our chances at winning. I reported both him and rubick for being some of the biggest asshats I've ever seen, talking big when they themselves "suck complete monkey ass" and I hope everyone on each team reported at least void and get him banned. I hate losing games because the other team piledrived us. I hate even more losing because the other team piledrived us because someone fed them and they had gg in 30 minutes, but I just fucking despise when some complete schmuck calls me a noob shit and then proceeds to feed AND fuck up the game further beyond repair. Bonus points for playing with one of your favourite heroes with who you really hate to lose with. Edit: forgot to mention, the "pro" void that said he had blink in 10 minutes didn't even get to finish a battlefury in 43.

I don't think I can sleep until I know the answer.[/QUOTE] In Kirby GBA games, he can swallow a ninja which gave him the ability to steal moves from characters so I expect thatd be the same if he swallowed rubick. *See Gamegrumps kirby episodes

-snip- wrong thread

Just had an insane game, tried out the new Doom, ended up laning with a Faceless Void. Somehow we managed to win the lane and I got some kills. Then out of no where the enemy Sven appeared with the I finished farming face and 3 shotted me. We managed to stretch the game till our Void got some items up and Sven was 3 shotting everyone on our team. After that we had some close teamfights , exchanging some barracks. In the last teamfight we were killing their last barracks , killed Sven. Meanwhile their Bounty Hunter was backdooring us. We were all at 20% hp left and went to kill the towers+ancient. Sven bought back, everyone shat bricks but we managed to kill the ancient in time. One of the tensest game I had so far, though very fun.

[QUOTE=Banned?;37957243]I wanna say my piece about this and then go to bed... The more and more I hear about Riot and LoL and their "competitive scene" the more I completely don't understand how they're retaining people in it. Every major tournament there is some kind of serious fuck up that makes the entire company look awful. It stretches from "simple" shit like not having a fucking pause feature, even if it's just in their tournament clients, to ignoring a serious issue like this where people are cheating on their grand main stage in the biggest finals event they've ever held. I get that they like to [url=http://www.reddit.com/r/DotA2/comments/1139ig/i_come_from_rlol_in_peace_how_well_are_dota2/c6iypo2]treat people who like their game well[/url] (to an extend) but you need to treat [I]everything[/I] well if you're going to have a huge fucking tournament like this. Look at how The International was setup. That's how you run a tournament. What if it rained? The entire event would have been fucking hosed. I could go on, but I'm tired and don't care enough.[/QUOTE] the outdoors venue is the least of the problems that went on at riot's tournament. first we have a shitty setup that allows players to [url=http://www.reddit.com/r/thegdstudio/comments/112ohh/field_day_for_the_2gd_studio/c6ixrda]cheat[/url] second we have a referee [url=http://na.leagueoflegends.com/board/showthread.php?p=29971787#29971787]denying any accusation of cheating[/url] going on and that they are sure no players were cheating. third we have the 8 FUCKING HOURS JUST TO PLAY A SINGLE BO3. because riot isn't smart enough to make a lan mode for tournaments, the internet kept crashing and games had to be remade, even though there was a clear and definite winner each and every time. [editline]8th October 2012[/editline] all riot is doing is giving the competitive gaming scene a bad rep. sorry riot, but in order to have a competitive game you need to make your game better, not throw a gigantic wad of cash at it and say it's esports.

Why do I keep hearing that Drow Ranger is a bad hero? When ever she gets crits, her arrows are fucking dangerous.

Why would there not even be proper lan support for a game in the first place.

[QUOTE=Zoran;37963985]Why do I keep hearing that Drow Ranger is a bad hero? When ever she gets crits, her arrows are fucking dangerous.[/QUOTE] no escape ability and has a really weak early game

Anyone got tips for how to farm effectively as Anti-Mage?

The servers were in Riot's HQ and not physically there therefore they had to connect to them via the Internet. Also a friend of mine works on Riot's balance team so he had a fun day.

Who loves Chen like me? I just love his set of skills:a good slow and debuff(28% bonus damage holy shiiiit), a decent nuke, the possibility to teleport allies to base, the ability to jungle since Level 1 with a good pace, and his Ult which is probably one of the best if upgraded with scepter. He isn't item dependent so you can buy whatever you want. You can also make the other team feel your presence using creeps, like Centaur Khans and Alpha Wolves. And to be homest chen its one of the best if not the best support in Dota.

a russian riki a nightstalker who thought he could 1v5 The russian riki actually is the only reason we won. He was smart and built a linkens to counter CK and sandking's stuns He built a battlefury to rid of all CK's illusions and for more money

[QUOTE=BeardyDuck;37964018]no escape ability and has a really weak early game[/QUOTE] Surely she can poke with ease?

Hopefully we get some good Pugna and Venomancer items

[QUOTE=BoxinShrimp;37964534]Broodmother gets in that list but Tiny doesn't? Fuck you.[/QUOTE] He's not really ready for items though. People have done the texture swaps, but he isn't split up properly for more than that.

oh man, I hope Huskar gets some cool stuff
