[QUOTE=Unisath;38169259]I hate her fucking personality and how long the cooldown on her spells are. She's decent overall, but I hate that she always says "pet." And her voice pisses me off too.[/QUOTE]
She's great design wise, but damn does it take snowball/skilled hands to play her.
Her trick lies in her abilities, she has [I]everything[/I].
Stun, nuke, aoe nuke/farm, buff, leap/blink, invisbility, initation assisst, agility=carry potential
She is a lot like Swiss-Knife-of-a-Hero i.e. Invoker, but she relies on positioning and items more so than he does, as his trick lies in proper Spell execution and positioning, combined with item usage, but Mirana due to lesser array of spells has to focus on making all of them perfect.
If she does, your ass is grass.

Oh yeah. I was laning with a Night Stalker against a Bounty Hunter and Keeper of the Light.
We got some early kills with my arrow and NS nuke and silence and after a while they just stopped coming close because I had like 4 kills in 15-20 minutes, it was hilarious.
I just threw out my arrow half-assedly once, it missed Bounty, and it suddenly hit Keeper a bit back so we just leapt on him and tore him apart. Happy accidents.
My first time I played mirana, I saw pudge go to get rune
I shot an arrow in the direction, leaped, and nuked him down
She has an easy time having rune control, if you constantly watch your mid.

She's an Int heroes in Agi hero clothes. She has the skillset of a really good Int hero but she has good item flexibility because she is Agi. Manta if you wanna help with the pushing, Diffusal if you wanna help more with ganking and chasing, etc. etc. It's hard for her to carry though and if you build her like a carry you're going to get outdone by someone else.

centaur added into test client as well as 6.76b changes
Just had a really great game as Riki.
[url]https://dotabuff.com/matches/53015686[/url]
One guy left without picking a hero, so I offered to solo bottom as radiant because why not.
Ended up laning against invoker and drow, who took pot shots at me until I hit 6 (way before them thanks to solo lane).
I couldn't get a last hit at all thanks to them(which explains low gold and lh), but I killed drow a couple times when invoker was away or silenced.
Now, axe left fairly early in the game, and instead of us dieing, it turned around.
They kept pushing mid, allowing us to kill all of them and become fed, and we procceded to harass and gank them for a while till we had the strength to push.
Eventually, CK, Zeus, and Bane left on their team, leaving invoker and drow to defend against a completely fed team.
One of the best games I've had, and it started off 4v5, then progressed to 3v5 shortly after.
Nice, always wanted to try centaur

1/6/4 as Invoker?
How can such a thing be possible.

Exactly the reason she has easier time carrying.
While actual other agility carries need a lot of kills to be setup for them before they get arrows, proper use of Mirana's abilities is like having teammates around. A nuke there, a stun here, combine that with actual teammates and you are carry who farms kills and gets creeps while pushing towers.
A unique and interesting hero, who is god damn annoying to play for me due to my crucial-moments sloppiness.

Only centaur?
Meh, sure...
Centaur is such a retarded hero with his new Strength gain, AoE Double Edge and Ulti.
If he won't be changed he will be top pick/ban for sure.

That's not what I meant at all.
If you think Mirana is a better carry than someone like Void or Anti-Mage, you're wrong. Maybe she can hassle people early to mid, which is what she should be doing, but late game she can't hold ground against real carries.
What's the difference between Dota 2 and Dota 2 Test in Steam library? :v:

Better carry ? No.
Better tools to keep enemy carries from progressing while she reaps rewards ? Yes.
Her tools scale with levels directly, making her a powerhouse early and mid, Void, Antimage, they need items more than anything else. Mirana can trasition her levels into kills into items, and if she does it properly, it's death of those carries that will fuel her items.
Think ganker/utility with benefits.

Dota 2 Test receives patches on Wednesdays, they're tested by a larger group (who mainly just want to try new hero), and then rolled out to main client on Thursday if they aren't horribly buggy
I really like Centaur's voice. He sounds like a grumpier, more ballsy Lion.
Luckiest backtracks in my life, backtrack 2 out of 3 sniper ults and 3rd one didn't kill me.
I've been waiting for Centaur for a long time.
He looks amazingly fun.
Centaur looks pretty bland to me.
[QUOTE=BoxinShrimp;38170606]Centaur looks pretty bland to me.[/QUOTE]
His skills are pretty bland (at least until his ultie was changed) but he is very effective.
Do you guys think they are going to sneak in the halloween update tomorrow with this update? I don't really see a reason for them to test it in the test client and if they don't release it this week then it would be late for halloween next week.
they said they would be releasing the halloween stuff a week before halloween so yes.

So is magnus and centaur a deadly pair?

[QUOTE=titopei;38171456]So is magnus and centaur a deadly pair?[/QUOTE]
i presume they have a friendship/rivalry like Leshrac and Enchantress.
So, Bulba is playing for Dignitas?
