Dota 2 General Chat XXIII - You can't go wrong with 6 boots - Games

[QUOTE=Regularjoe;40256837]I haven't tried Shadowblade slark, but it sounds like it would be really good for getting guaranteed pounces.[/QUOTE] That seems like a massive waste of gold. You'd be better off initiating with the bonus 150dmg then save pounce for when they try to run.

[QUOTE=maxumym;40256790]I just met the worst possible Zeus ever. Do you think I'm gonna rant about how he stole every kill? Fat chance. I WISH he would. He never used his ulti in appropriate times. There was a time when me(ES) and Troll got our lane enemies really damn low, and we were pinging at them, I said it in the voice chat, wrote it in the team chat, pinged on him. Zero response. (it kept happening after that as well) Then he wrote something in spanish.[/QUOTE] That reminds me of a Specter I played with recently. She used her ult as soon as it came off cooldown, every time, regardless of what was happening. And she almost never used the subability to take the place of one of the haunt illusions.

I personally love shadow blade on slark. The extra 150 damage and invis are amazing for early ganking.

I only go phase boots on slark if my teammates are retarded and don't know what stuns are, and if that's the case I also max pounce first since the gigantically reduced cooldown means I can keep pouncing more often which is great however this only happens in pubs so I only end up with phase and pounce maxed first in pubs fancy inhouses my teammates actually know what a stun is so I can actually get treads and darkpact

Anyone else noticing some fairly glaring server instability over the past few days?

[QUOTE=Smashman;40257376]Anyone else noticing some fairly glaring server instability over the past few days?[/QUOTE] i got rid of US east and it works perfectly fine for me.

[QUOTE=codemaster85;40257417]i got rid of US east and it works perfectly fine for me.[/QUOTE] I only play on US East, so that doesn't help.

[QUOTE=Smashman;40257472]I only play on US East, so that doesn't help.[/QUOTE] unless youre from europe or ruskie land, it should be fine to connect. i just get 10 bonus ping when i connect to them from Georgia.

US East is lagging so hard when you finally manage to get a match

valve gets back from their infinite vacation at long last

No patch? Then something with tournaments or valve store items. [editline]12th April 2013[/editline] or servers could be fixed.

Half-Dota 3 is released. But I have no idea when it is not a patch... Maybe some news about heroes? concept art? Planning?

Wouldn't be the right timing for a multi-part blog/update really, still I can hope :v: (takes me back to waiting for TF2 updates...)

i just did a lina/sd roaming setup sweet baby jesus this is the best thing since sliced bread [editline]12th April 2013[/editline] 60 kills in 30 minutes, what a sicknasty game

Why the patch download stopped at 98%? Edit: nvm...

Holy shit, just got a new Most Kills record with Slark, with 32 kills inside a 47 minute match.

[QUOTE=codemaster85;40257717]then just connect to the europe servers, the south east got hit hard with a storm last night due to april weather.[/QUOTE] I'm sure you've played with your fair share of Russians. Now consider that Europe is closest to where they live. No thanks.

Holy shit.... Just had a very nice match for once in a while. We were losing badly, 10 kills behind. But then we manage to win 1 teamfight with full enemy team wipe. Sniper survives and with 4 kills and he becomes our main carry. And then we just push from T1 to their racks and take it. Rosh after that and even though we lost 1 fight again we managed to teamwipe their team again and take bot. But then 3/5 get killed including sniper. Mirana and I managed to hold out for about 60 seconds and when sniper came back, we teamwiped and finished. Sniper starts balling [I]hard[/I] and eventaully we manage to get to their ancient. Match on Dotabuff if anyone wants to look [url]http://dotabuff.com/matches/171664102[/url] Morale? Never say that the match is lost since you can always come back, if the fed person is a ganking/support(tuskar had 21/9/something at the end of the game). And that Ogre Bloodlust is just so fucking good with sniper.

oh lordy, i didnt know that veno's poison sting stacks with illusions, shit is terrifying. get manta, illusion rune and thats 900 magic damage plus 70% slow.

No thanks.[/QUOTE] im pretty sure they pick every server period. wherever you go there will be BRs or ruskies.

Hint: Soul Ring is pretty good on Ogre Magi. Also I once got away with getting Vanguard on that fat bastard to make him that much more tankier. Got it way before 20-min mark.
