[QUOTE=dire_luck;40219758]Is Naga ever picked in competitive play? I haven seen her picked, but I imagine that her ult and net would be extremely useful in comp play.[/QUOTE] I only remember Naga getting picked by iG on the Internationals

she was first pick / ban in TI2 iirc

[QUOTE=Roxerg;40219547]force staff.[/QUOTE] He was 14/1 by 20 minutes I don't think that would have helped.

[QUOTE=RainbowStalin;40219411]How do you counter bloodseeker god damn[/QUOTE] Stuns and TP scrolls. Axe is also fun against him, as is Warrunner. Warrunner doubly so when you get Blademail. Rupture? BAD IDEA MOTHERFUCKER. [QUOTE=RainbowStalin;40219918]He was 14/1 by 20 minutes I don't think that would have helped.[/QUOTE] Then your teammates are retards and there's no hope.

And my lovely blademail. I was really happy when his own team said thanks to me for that humilliation

Ok 1 game of Visage is enough to convince me I never want to play as him again. urgh

[QUOTE=RainbowStalin;40219411]How do you counter bloodseeker god damn[/QUOTE] bloodseeker can not break a TP scroll himself also, dont piss fart around if you're on low hp [editline]10th April 2013[/editline] [QUOTE=dire_luck;40219758]Is Naga ever picked in competitive play? I haven seen her picked, but I imagine that her ult and net would be extremely useful in comp play.[/QUOTE] She was in pretty much every international 2012 game she wasn't banned in, currently she's just an inferior version of phantom lancer [QUOTE=nmagain;40219796]she used to be picked LOADS in 2012 the meta changed over time though[/QUOTE] [img]http://puu.sh/2wV7l[/img]

[QUOTE=nmagain;40219796]she used to be picked LOADS in 2012 the meta changed over time though[/QUOTE] I know the meta's changed, but I'd imagine she'd still be relevant in the current ganking meta. I'd really love to see a team pick her up for their 5th or 6th pick, she's one of my favorite characters and i'd like to see her come back into style. [editline]9th April 2013[/editline] [QUOTE=Harpie;40220091] [img]http://puu.sh/2wV7l[/img][/QUOTE] Ahh, okay that explains it. [editline]9th April 2013[/editline] But I still think she could be useful, perhaps not as a main carry but as a secondary semi-carry

[QUOTE=Banana-man;40219634]arcanes you are still hungry, your hunger for mana never ends[/QUOTE] no if you have bloodstone and +7 charges on it as Timbersaw, your hunger for mana literally ends.

[QUOTE=BuffaloBill;40218314]How the fuck did you manage that? Dotabuff link? Didn't say it was a bad thing![/QUOTE] [url]http://dotabuff.com/matches/167794007[/url] Several of my deaths were caused by literal 5man ganking or all 5 of them ignoring everyone else and going straight for me. FYI, I was playing mid. I showed no pity to the Fiend who was playing far too aggressively (Several times we were in duels where I'd get away with 30 or 0 HP, but he was dead, so I ultimately won.

[QUOTE=Pocket Medic;40218248]While we're on the topic of Medusa, last game I was in we noticed that Medusa was going to be ancient jungling, so we made a combined effort to absolutely ruin her day. I pick bounty and sit invis in the ancients, Veno put both plague and observer wards in it, and when both Pudge and Medusa came looking for us, they ended up blocking the camp spawn anyway. Medusa had to act as the support after that, as we'd ganked and killed her so much that she had no hope of ever getting farm. It was like they had a Crystal Maiden without any disables, she had to buy all the wards and I think half the gems. [url]http://dotabuff.com/matches/169146474[/url] There were another 1-2 gems, but we destroyed those due to an overabundance of them. We only bought one of the gems.[/QUOTE] I kept being told that just cutting one tree ruins her ancient farm technique

[QUOTE=Gekkosan;40220493]no if you have bloodstone and +7 charges on it as Timbersaw, your hunger for mana literally ends.[/QUOTE] Thats not enough. That not NEARLY enough! Not until you have enough to be at full mana after using chains and whiling death with the max level charkram out before chains comes off CD THEN you have enough mana.

[QUOTE=Harpie;40218825]rate that build zero because [B]if you dont level E you cant last hit[/B] and therefore you cant last hit so you're behind from the get go also you have mana problems (nor can you augment them because you have no farm cause you have 38 damage)[/QUOTE] hahahahahaha what you don't need that extra damage at all, invoker's attack animation is amazing. smooth as fuck. quas/wex provides more utility than exort does, too. one point is REALLY all you need for sunstrikes at low levels

Is there any way on steam to check how long you've owned a game?

[QUOTE=ThatSprite;40221146]Is there any way on steam to check how long you've owned a game?[/QUOTE] You can probably just go to account details and calculate from the date you got a game

So a friend of mine send me one of his matches [URL="http://dotabuff.com/matches/168546488"]http://dotabuff.com/matches/168546488[/URL] He (Venomancer) went full carry

[QUOTE=Unisath;40220980]hahahahahaha what you don't need that extra damage at all, invoker's attack animation is amazing. smooth as fuck. quas/wex provides more utility than exort does, too. one point is REALLY all you need for sunstrikes at low levels[/QUOTE] Invoker has terrible early cs power lmao. SF level base damage with a fucking ridiculous backswing. The reason why his damage and speed are balls overall is because of his orbs so i guess you cant really go changing it

is it fine to build a shiva's guard or something other than bloodstone on heroes like timber if your early game didn't go so well? I have seen some players finishing their bloodstones and not having more than two charges for the most of the game [editline]9th April 2013[/editline] [QUOTE=Unisath;40220980]hahahahahaha what you don't need that extra damage at all, invoker's attack animation is amazing. smooth as fuck. quas/wex provides more utility than exort does, too. one point is REALLY all you need for sunstrikes at low levels[/QUOTE] is not only having a good animation/base attack speed, but also damage, if the enemy is good it will deny before they go low enough for you to last hit

Raidcall D2L Liquid Vs. Empire game three. [sp]I really think people ogre-estimate how good PL + Kotl is.[/sp]

[QUOTE=ned_ballad;40221997][url]https://twitter.com/Cyborgmatt/status/321698123439304705[/url] no patch this week either[/QUOTE] And here i was hoping something'd happen. Ah well. Maybe there's a reason besides the vacation?

[QUOTE=ned_ballad;40221997][url]https://twitter.com/Cyborgmatt/status/321698123439304705[/url] no patch this week either[/QUOTE] some day a new hero will be added to cm some day

[QUOTE=ned_ballad;40221997][url]https://twitter.com/Cyborgmatt/status/321698123439304705[/url] no patch this week either[/QUOTE] Hhhnnnrrghhhnnrr. Yeah already knew there most probably wouldn't be, still can't help feeling a bit grumpy about it.

the two weeks valve go on vacation coincidentally are the two weeks their servers turn to shit

[QUOTE=ThatSprite;40222496]the two weeks valve go on vacation coincidentally are the two weeks their servers turn to shit[/QUOTE] it's all an elaborate scheme to roll out a massive overhaul to dota 2 servers

In a support role, no less.[/url][/del] Game's over, but that link'll still take you to the stream, game 2 coming up at time of writing. edit: Ah but they're playing like shit. Well, you know, shit for Fnatic.
