[QUOTE=ThatSprite;40312381]yeah, it's been like that for a while. No idea what happened to it.[/QUOTE] Financial problems, authors stopped paying, probably.

[QUOTE=ThatSprite;40312581]yes, but not THIS high. He's always lingered around 10.[/QUOTE]I dunno, man. I've never seen him outside of the top 5. Spirit Breaker, on the other hand. Where the hell did his popularity come from?

[QUOTE=SgtWoodsy;40312715]I dunno, man. I've never seen him outside of the top 5. Spirit Breaker, on the other hand. Where the hell did his popularity come from?[/QUOTE] Always seen him quite regularly, a bit more than usual perhaps lately. Suppose people have realised how powerful he is vs glass cannons like Drow/BH.

[QUOTE=SgtWoodsy;40312715] Spirit Breaker, on the other hand. Where the hell did his popularity come from?[/QUOTE] He's always been fairly popular. Good starting dmg, high hp, good armor. Get a stout ontop of his HP and armor and you can laugh at the enemy trying to harass you as you get cs

[QUOTE=J-RcZ;40312140]I don't think that the site is "bit limited", I think it's no longer existing.[/QUOTE] Must've been fairly recent, I swear I was able to use it a while back. Oh well.

[QUOTE=Pocket Medic;40312771]Must've been fairly recent, I swear I was able to use it a while back. Oh well.[/QUOTE] I think it went down like last week.

[QUOTE=J-RcZ;40312779]I think it went down like last week.[/QUOTE] A few weeks I think, I tried to use it at least over 2 weeks ago and it was dead.

[QUOTE=Bordellimies;40312825]A few weeks I think, I tried to use it at least over 2 weeks ago and it was dead.[/QUOTE] I used it exacly 2 weeks ago to draw a picture of Lina, it was up back then.

Drow gets nerfed -> Mysterious rise in the number of Snipers and Spirit Breakers.

[QUOTE=Regularjoe;40313395]Drow gets nerfed -> Mysterious rise in the number of Snipers and Spirit Breakers.[/QUOTE] drow is still #2 even though I never see her anymore.

Spiritbreaker has his advantages, but some heroes outdo him in most cases. He's single-target ganker, unless he gets fed he can ball into a carry/initiator. Tanky as fuck hero combined with global presence and great mobility (insane MS aura), alright DPS and ability to get on anybodys face are his best sides.

[QUOTE=Regularjoe;40313395]Drow gets nerfed -> Mysterious rise in the number of Snipers and Spirit Breakers.[/QUOTE] Still barely a rise in Vipers, the other hero that actually needs a nerf too.

Spirit Breaker is a hilarious counter to Nature's Prophet.

It's also fun to dash around the map for 2 minutes, charging over everything while doing so. (Target Tinker with charge who has BoT.)

[QUOTE=Viper202;40313467]Still barely a rise in Vipers, the other hero that actually needs a nerf too.[/QUOTE] Viper isn't really imbalanced, he's just a gigantic cunt in all aspects of gameplay.

[QUOTE=ForgottenKane;40309522]Midas and Mask of Madness without finished boots...[/QUOTE] totally okay if you get it all fast enough

[QUOTE=PowerBall v1;40303869]Come to think of it, SD (shadow demon) is great against hard carries with his illusion making, extra dmg and his ulti (that removes all his passive. there for, no mana burn or shield) but yes he can easly escape, but sometime its toolate by the time-damage[/QUOTE] shadow demon is a good counter to lots of people especially seeing as all his spells other than disruption go through magic immunity, his caveat being if he has no levels he cant do shit against anyone [editline]17th April 2013[/editline] [QUOTE=Bryceanater;40309431][img]http://puu.sh/2BxwH[/img] Ugggggggggggggggggggh[/QUOTE] [img]http://puu.sh/2BMvD[/img]

[QUOTE=Captain Chalky;40314140]With Valve back in the office, what do you guys think? Will we finally get Skywrath Mage? Or maybe even a triple hero update? Or will we just get Shagbark and absolutely nothing else?[/QUOTE] techies pls or phoenix they're both fucking awesome edit: maybe even arc warden he was craycray fun to play

[QUOTE=maxumym;40314052]Viper isn't really imbalanced, he's just a gigantic cunt in all aspects of gameplay.[/QUOTE] he's boring as shit to play and really stupid to play against his concepts are stupid, not the execution

[QUOTE=Viper202;40313467]Still barely a rise in Vipers, the other hero that actually needs a nerf too.[/QUOTE] Viper is strong but no way is he OP, he's shut down by the fact his only escape mechanism is you attacking him which he wont have early game because he'll level nethertoxin like a smart cookie also he loses the game for his entire team if he goes solo mid against a caster (especially Silencer or Zeus)

Any idea how to get scepter in the first 20~ minutes as Pudge? I really only get it in the last three minutes.

can someone explain the lore behind drows ultimate ability? does it really detect invisible units now?

[QUOTE=cm;40314320]can someone explain the lore behind drows ultimate ability? does it really detect invisible units now?[/QUOTE] it "detects" them in the sense that if an invisible hero comes within 400 range of her, it turns off (just like a non-invisible hero). a player who's paying attention will notice that the blue aura around her will disappear, and yeah.

There's no status on Arc Warden's current state, so he'll be in a lot later. Skywrath looks the most done so far, with Elder Titan (Tauren Chieftain) a close second. Apparently Zet was a gnoll in the original DotA, so he'll probably be a vhoul in this one, or some other kind of canine assumedly.

[QUOTE=Unisath;40314193]he's boring as shit to play and really stupid to play against his concepts are stupid, not the execution[/QUOTE] If you want a fun solo mid ganker that's also a lane dominatrix play QoP

So Maxumym and I just went AM/Jakiro, I'm getting happy freefarm. All for nothing, as our voluntary Meepo pick who went mid is destroying them left, right and center: [img]http://i.imgur.com/0YkZ7n9.jpg[/img]

[QUOTE=Captain Chalky;40314495]Not really since Valve has stopped trying to please the masses that will still complain no matter what, so he won't look like "warcraft_genericgnoll_02". Arc Warden will look like Arc Warder.[/QUOTE] IDK about this Arc "Warder"; what is that supposed to look like anyway?

had a game where the entire enemy team left at the 20 minute mark I thought this shit was supposed to stay in WC3?

[QUOTE=Unisath;40314584]had a game where the entire enemy team left at the 20 minute mark I thought this shit was supposed to stay in WC3?[/QUOTE] 5man leaving not giving an abandon you mean?

[QUOTE=BuffaloBill;40314594]5man leaving not giving an abandon you mean?[/QUOTE] they didn't look like a five man, they left one by one between 18 and 20 minutes should have said "by," not "at," sorry
