[QUOTE=mixshifter;40270081]That sword looks so much like something Kunkka would have.[/QUOTE] Pretty much, the colors are very off. Also, Im the only one who thinks the fish hair thing for slark is tad silly?

[QUOTE==DarkStar=;40270156]Pretty much, the colors are very off. Also, Im the only one who thinks the fish hair thing for slark is tad silly?[/QUOTE] I don't like it much; honestly I'm sorta surprised it got in. I had seen it on the workshop and thought it was kinda funny but not that great. Personally I love his default head and armor.

[QUOTE=leonthefox;40269586]yeah It was a joke, doubt the final model has the balls [/QUOTE] [img]http://www.cyborgmatt.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/Dota2_Model_ShagbarkFinal.jpg[/img] I spot walnuts.

[QUOTE=dass;40270004]How the hell do those builds win? Especially the OD one. Same for enchantress. I was gonna say it could be ok if she was gonna lane for some weird reason, until I saw the passive points straight at 2.[/QUOTE] thats a typical lane enchant build, but skipping slow completely is dumb passive is stupid early on

lane enchantress is just a dumb idea in general imo

Eh the passive is alright because it happens in the same way as Return and Helix in that you slow before they attack so usually you end up not being attacked. Its fine if you're doing some sort of batshit solo ench or something, lane is just weird though and jungle is always better

[QUOTE=Regularjoe;40270433][IMG]http://www.cyborgmatt.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/Dota2_Model_ShagbarkFinal.jpg[/IMG] I spot walnuts.[/QUOTE] Well if they're "walnuts", I guess they managed to get that crap past the radar. Hell, if Okami shipped with buttholes on all the animals, it makes sense for this new courier to have the balls to sport his nuts on the battlefield. Let's just hope this thing doesn't teabag. Also, I'll probably want fries with that if it costs $4.

[QUOTE=nige111;40269960]And the 1% will always be when lina ults you. Also, 8 chests, pretty nice haul if you ask me. [img]http://i.imgur.com/uoTAE2A.png[img] Shame about the dupes though.[/QUOTE] Didn't knew that dupes are on Dota 2 now... really didn't knew.

Who cares whether it has balls or not You won't see them in-game due to the point of view And as long as they aren't really sacky and low hanging it won't look odd

I hope I'm not the only person annoyed at the fact that Cyborgmatt is constantly advertising the Shagbark Courier.

[QUOTE=Banhfunbags;40271161]I hope I'm not the only person annoyed at the fact that Cyborgmatt is constantly advertising the Shagbark Courier.[/QUOTE] You aren't, someone summed it up on Reddit pretty well: "Cyborgmatt proudly presents: A courier not designed by him, modelled by him, or animated by him."

Y'know, I played CM recently, and I can say she's got some decent skills; a targeted AoE that inflicts a slow, a spell that roots an enemy in place and inflicts a DoT, a global mana regen aura that helps with mana problems, and an ult that brings down icy hell on the enemy around you. To be fair, I didn't get all that many good opportunities to use her Ult, but it does seem pretty cool. Only big problem is her thunder-thighs slowing her down; thankfully I wasn't ganked all that much that match, but I can imagine that her slow crawl of movement speed bites her in the ass at higher levels of play. If she's gonna be better in the current metagame, which is apparently heavy on ganking, she'll probably need +5 or +10 to her base move speed. But in general her Q and W can be good for setting things up, like I stopped an enemy getting away whilst Axe chopped the poor sod's head off.

Yea, i wish she had more movement speed. Invoker's is fine, it has a reason. I don't understand CM's reasoning tho.

[QUOTE=Banhfunbags;40271161]I hope I'm not the only person annoyed at the fact that Cyborgmatt is constantly advertising the Shagbark Courier.[/QUOTE] you mean like anyone involved in creating a new courier does?

Played Super OMG, picked Meepo like 4 or 5 times in a row First round I DC'd mid-game and when I reconnected, my game had fucked itself up. I was in Dire team, but when I reconnected I had Radiant's sight and teamchat, so if I was outside radi's vision, I couldn't see myself. But I had super spymode on. Really hard to play like that. Next few games went better, and all of the Meepos were unique. All Meepos had Poof and his usual ult, but the remaining 2 spells could be anything so I had pretty fun combos. Last game went the best, first Meepo had like Fissure and Rupture, second Meepo had DOOM and Viscous Nasal Goo, third one had Fiery Soul and Gyro's Rocket Barrage, fourth Meepo had Vengeful's stun and Ogre Magi's stun, and last Meepo was a fuckup and he had only bristleback. Its like Invoker as he has so many different spells, but you gamble what you get. It is also overpowered as fuck because all of the spells are usually quite strong. But it is [I]really[/I] fun.

Where can I play Super OMG mode at?

[IMG]http://puu.sh/2zCOd/cfe2da00e2[/IMG] SD mid was a good decision.

When did they add a wards section to the store? That's nice, it really needed it, they were impossible to find.

[QUOTE=ned_ballad;40272755]When did they add a wards section to the store? That's nice, it really needed it, they were impossible to find.[/QUOTE] About a week ago. They also added a note at the bottom of most items designating who made the item (although it incorrectly states that Valve made it a lot of the time.)

Hoping they fix the troll tooth necklace this wee, it's such a nice item

just got out of hands down the best solo queue game I've ever played, and it was captain's mode. first time I've ever drafted, think I did pretty well with picks/bans. the game was extremely competitive and went back and forth many times, and everyone was really friendly. my team was 3 russians, a korean, and myself, but we still managed to do very well (although tidehunter and warlock's fuck-ups kind of cost us the game in the end). pretty incredible though, the exact opposite of what one would expect from that whole situation. i'll post the dotabuff when it comes up. if thatsprite is interested in throwing away another hour+ of his life casting a random pub match, this one should be it. [editline]14th April 2013[/editline] [url=http://dotabuff.com/matches/172746873]dotabuff[/url] tide and warlock's ults synergized really well and shadow fiend would just mop up. one of the times sf died, tide picked up his rapier, so that's why he has that.

FUCK THIS BROKEN-ASS GAME HOLY SHIT FIRST TIME A GOOD START WITH TUSK LETS JUST DISCONNECT YOU FROM THE GAME AND THEN NOT LET YOU RECONNECT AND THEN ITS JUST NOTHING FUCKING PERFECT 10/10 VALV ADD MORE COSMETICS. I MAD.

Wow man, people are getting really really angry lately, you should all chill the fuck out.

[QUOTE=Pierrewithahat;40275504]Wow man, people are getting really really angry lately, you should all chill the fuck out.[/QUOTE] Some people have valid reasons to be enraged. Just because you don't have a reason doesn't mean that everyone else's are invalidated.

[QUOTE=Zoran;40275519]Some people have valid reasons to be enraged. Just because you don't have a reason doesn't mean that everyone else's are invalidated.[/QUOTE] no, in the end it's just a game. unless you're making money by playing, you don't really have a reason to get very upset. it's a hobby, it's okay to take a break.

next thread title should be "We post match logs and get in fights"

[QUOTE=Zoran;40275519]Some people have valid reasons to be enraged. Just because you don't have a reason doesn't mean that everyone else's are invalidated.[/QUOTE] Not really, you get Dc'd well shit happens, you just deal with it instead of acting like a child who isn't getting their way.

[QUOTE=Erector Beast;40275567]no, in the end it's just a game. unless you're making money by playing, you don't really have a reason to get very upset. it's a hobby, it's okay to take a break.[/QUOTE] This is true for about 95% of games but not Dota. You have to dedicate time to games like Dota, it becomes an investment. You can hope in and out of CSS/RO2/BF games no problem but when you invest 30-70 minutes to 1 match it is acceptable to get upset. Especially since there's no option to forfeit and leaving early has a negative impact on you.

Good point. I still think it's unhealthy to get so worked up over a game, but I suppose if you had to choose any game, it should be dota. Or an MMO.
