[QUOTE=Rarara;40244163]We need more Omniknight items. Like a sword.[/QUOTE] Needs a big two handed flail.

[QUOTE=ironman17;40244080]Gyro does need some new cosmetics; I still don't understand how such a cool hero hasn't had all that much support yet. So far all I've seen on the Workshop is some lousy Beanie Hat.[/QUOTE] I seriously want to play him more, but I usually get stuck either supporting (everyone else goes carry) or the enemy picks him.

Luna needs a new panther. And then she will be confused.

[QUOTE=Rarara;40244163]We need more Omniknight items. Like a sword.[/QUOTE] He has a bit too much already.

I think we can all agree we need more axe weapons

Does anyone here know the inner workings of matchmaking server locations? I live on the East Coast and play with a lot of people from the west coast, and i haven't found any pattern in when I have a higher ping / lag . Does it just look for servers that are close to the party leader or does it try to balance everyone's pings?

[url]http://dotabuff.com/matches/170680006[/url] We were 17 to 5 at one point. But then they decided to stop ganking and they experienced the "3 late game carries" effect. Maruhai was constantly telling me that BF is terribru until I accidentally made a triple, then he shut himself up. It was an unwinnable battle late-game: Take out the Spectre and Sven/Sniper would just mop you. Take out Sven and Spectre will slowly finish you while Sniper's taking potshots. Take out Sniper and you're fucked anyway regardless if you stay close to each other or far away from each other.

You know what would be nice? Not fighting Lifestealer every single game.

fnatic 27 / qpandas 5 16min conclusion: never let fnatic pick wisp.

[QUOTE=Bryceanater;40244547]Luna needs a new panther. And then she will be confused.[/QUOTE] Well this goes the same as with what Scrake said, Luna is mostly broken down but she is yet to be added to the importer so it would be pretty much a fruitless effort making stuff for her. The community doesn't just avoid heros, 90% of the time we can't make stuff for them.

So i just sold my Silent Ripper for this...little guy? [thumb]http://i.imgur.com/dhnMs5l.jpg[/thumb] He apparantly doesn't know any better.

[QUOTE=Shibbey;40245606]You know what would be nice? Not fighting Lifestealer every single game.[/QUOTE] Actaully not seen him for tons of games. I don't even see PL that much anymore.

[QUOTE=Valiantttt;40245785]Actaully not seen him for tons of games. I don't even see PL that much anymore.[/QUOTE] I see at least one of them every game. Gyro's fallen out of favor, PL and Naix still going strong. Same for Nyx and KotL. Fuck off with those heroes already, it's boring to play them every goddamn game.

I haven't lost because of PL in a really long time. It's just N'aix and Nyx. No skill all the kills.

[QUOTE=Shibbey;40246022]I haven't lost because of PL in a really long time. It's just N'aix and Nyx. No skill all the kills.[/QUOTE] nyx is just too powerfull. His imaple can disable half the team and then spiked carapace disables the entire team. he's too powerfull as a disabler.

[QUOTE=BuffaloBill;40243723]Undying does, as linked by Jechtman. Fairly certain Luna has been as well.[/QUOTE] Broken down =/= Decompiled

I don't like that Kunkka item. Zombie pirates? Hell yes, they're cool. Zombie pirate with Kunkka's jolly personality? Sounds awful.

Would Power Treads on Zeus be terrible if you're not planning on having mana problems?

[QUOTE=mixshifter;40246799]Would Power Treads on Zeus be terrible if you're not planning on having mana problems?[/QUOTE] How do you not plan on having mana problems on zeus ? He is mana problem, even with stuff like Bloodstone to a point. I guess it's partially doable if you have team of OD, Crystal Maiden, KotL and Wisp with Arcanes, but still.

Yes you should just go Mana boots almost always but if you really want something else because you have no mana problems I assume you mean bloodstone in which case [sp]Mana boots are still good[/sp] or if you really have something against them phase/travels are good for mobility but you dont need a tiny bit more hp with treads if you're not taking damage from mobility

Well if you don't plan on harassing and only plan to use your abilities when initiating, I hadn't had many mana problems with Zeus so as long as I played passive until we went in for the kill.

It was submitted with the very first set of items (in secret) for the release of the Dota Store.

Selling crates for 1 cent and my email ends up flooded with crate sold :v:

[QUOTE=mixshifter;40246799]Would Power Treads on Zeus be terrible if you're not planning on having mana problems?[/QUOTE] If you're not going for Arcanes you should either go BoT or Phase boots. Zeus isn't that reliant on his boots, but Arcanes are the strongest ones on him before he has massed manaregen/-pool.
