Defense of the Ancients 2: General Chat XIX 6.77c Coming Soon - Games

[QUOTE=cheetahben;39918989]Holy shit, QoP is the most fun solo mid in the entire game. Hell, maybe even the most fun hero period.[/QUOTE] She is HORRIBLE to lane against. She's Viper/Silencer levels of "painful to mid against"

[QUOTE=maxumym;39919072]She is HORRIBLE to lane against. She's Viper/Silencer levels of "painful to mid against"[/QUOTE] Viper is such a pain in the ass to lane against. At least a mid Drow can't do much with a 10% slow until she's at least level 7.

Second time I play disruptor this week, I keep remembering why I liked playing him so much :v: Gotta get some cosmetics and pimp him [QUOTE=ManinaBugSuit;39918521]People confuse me sometimes. We have all our lanes set up and are waiting for one guys. Tell him to go support so he picks batrider. Doesn't buy any items than rushes boots and gets a bot, mind u he never bottled any runes. He levels flame break first and wont level napalm till alll other skills are maxed, he also doesn't seem to understand English or cant work the chat window. Finally i check his profile, guessing hes quite new and queuing with a friend or something. NOPE over 200 games, how can u be that oblivious to how the game operates after that many games? Also whats with the influx in bad batriders and bad witch doctors? is it just me or are their alot more lately?[/QUOTE] I had a troll who got boots and tango as starting items, put no points in whirling axes and maxed berserk rage first, Never got BKB And guess what was his reply when we tried to suggest stuff "STFU I play my style I am no sheep"

If the enemy team has a drow who knows how to play(buying gem) and has a good support. gg since your team has 4 squishy and 1 tanky who all get destroyed by drow. Even more when your team has no ganks at all, or a gank that failed and ended up feeding drow. No stuns and you as a weaver have little to no chance against a drow with gem.. Also that feel when your win rate of 51% goes down to 50% again.... But you still play because you are like 'this match will go alright'

I don't know if I missed something or not but why are there no new items/sets in the store?

On the prior subject of Treant. Please up the range on Leech Seed. You almost need to be in punching range to actually use it.

Quotin' from previous thread: [quote]also brood is fucking horrifying with BoT and soul ring.[/quote] While I love playing as Brood and pushing an entire lane down in 2 minutes, she's so easy to counter it's not even funny anymore. Get sentries in your lane and she won't be doing shit. Wish they'd make Sentries have half the vision range/dust last half as long on her when she's in a web.

And she doesnt need invis to be scary anymore since her passive practically lets you 1v1 people and win every time. She had split push the whole game and carried their team eventhough she was shit in laning phase due to us spamming sentries. Seriously, whoever said she doesnt fit in the meta anymore is insane.

Brood's probably the best pusher in the game (Leshrac kills towers faster, but Brood kills creeps faster) but she's fairly easy to kill

magnus on my team that got butthurt at me for "losing the game" through my naga ult - just to clarify I was yelling it multiple times through voice that I was going to ult and he still went for it, albeit only hitting 1 person [video=youtube;Atrjb70Ls9I]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Atrjb70Ls9I[/video]

[QUOTE=codemaster85;39919891] Seriously, whoever said she doesnt fit in the meta anymore is insane.[/QUOTE] the invis detection was never the issue it's the fact that the spiders give too much xp and gold (now) to be worth it, which means you can really only pick it in a scenario when you can guarantee a 1v1 vs someone with 0 aoe so you either don't use the spiders, which means your push comes out much later or do you use the spiders and you accelerate whoever they'll send against you (and most solo laners have some sort of AoE which makes farming spiders, you know, easy) another issue on top of this is that brood is not very good in 5v5 engagements or early aggression which is currently what teams like picking for, and even if you get past that wall brood either needs to sit in her own lane or take forever to set up in a new one, something that isn't very good if you're trying to take a quick tower after a fight [sp]that and why would i pick brood over PL lmao[/sp]

I just had the worst bug of all time as Visage. Game started, I absent mindedly clicked tango and salve and was ready to discuss who buys what etc etc. Look in my inventory, magic wand recipe and dust. [I]Oh fuck.[/I] I quickly learned that every single item in the game was swapped around with something else, and some items were permanently out of stock, so I couldn't buy them. I eventually figured out how to buy a single salve (salve was sentry wards) and tried to finish a simple item. I opted for Phase Boots. Helm of Ironwill was Blades of Attack, so I needed 950 gold to buy a 450 gold item, and then I tried to figure out what boots were, as boots were haste gloves, and haste gloves were something I couldn't afford even with 2000 gold. I ended up with three stout shields trying to finish a wand and a gem of truesight from a magic stick. Eventually I decided to try and see what Ultimate Orb was. I saved up the 2100 gold, and just before I was about to die, I right clicked it, and fell dead, whatever I bought, I couldn't sell. [I]FUCKING CIRCLET.[/I] We lost that game, and I never even figured out what boots were.

Ah, that'd be the shop bug. You should pause the game and restart if the enemy team allows it.

How the fuck did everything even get switched around? The hell did you to to your game to make that happen? :v: [QUOTE=ThatSprite;39920135]Ah, that'd be the shop bug.

Can't say I blame him tbh.

Question, what can you expect in 6.77c? Wouldn't complete reworks be postponed to 6.78? And how do we even know the update is close, aside from IceFrog saying some stuff might come in a 6.77c update?

[QUOTE=ThatSprite;39920135]Ah, that'd be the shop bug. You should pause the game and restart if the enemy team allows it.[/QUOTE] I did. Nothing changed. Validated, all filles passed the check successfully.

[QUOTE=Shibbey;39920169]I did. Nothing changed. Validated, all filles passed the check successfully.[/QUOTE]Did you do script editing? -override_vpk in the launch options? Having old script files when the weekly update happens can screw things up, like this item bug. I got rid of -override_vpk as a quick fix, and re-extracting the files would probably fix it.

From the last thread about the doom build. I usually go Midas > Phase > BKB > AC and other situational items like Halberd, shiva or heart. Is this a good build?

If he had of just waited for my ult that he knew was coming he might of been able to get someone other than Nighstalker within it, as it was he just got Nightstalker and still bitched, even though I'd said prior to the teamfight I was going to ult to allow him to get into the best position

Nightstalker was the only one with a Silence so landing the first immediately to take Nightstalker out is a good solution especially since the fight was already well underway. From there he could easily have landed the second one on Tiny, Sand King, Invoker ánd Nightstalker. You saved them by ulting there as you gave them just enough time to react to Magnus.

Man, I need one of those mouses that have buttons on the sides so I can micro better.

[QUOTE=Shibbey;39919780]On the prior subject of Treant. Please up the range on Leech Seed. You almost need to be in punching range to actually use it.[/QUOTE] The thing costs 140 goddamn mana for a pitiful heal, pitiful damage, and a pitiful slow. Every other nuke/cc in the game is better. [editline]15th March 2013[/editline] For the same 140 mana Venge can stun you from 150 more range (500 vs 350) and deal 25 more damage and it's instant.

Turning it off definitely wasn't a good idea but what do you expect me to do when he's yelling TURN IT OFF TURN IT OFF
