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

I like to build bracer when i'm a support and most likely plan to build it into a drum. Or if i just need the plain stats that could save my ass. Mostly if i plan to build drum, though.

Just build 3/4 of them so u can survive pudge !

I love portrait errors [t]http://puu.sh/2yzli[/t] oh so small [img]http://puu.sh/2yCia[/img] :buddy: [editline]beans[/editline] [t]http://puu.sh/2yCTG[/t] dota please stop

The ward looks like it's frightened :v:

[QUOTE=Rarara;40254389]Except Slark has shit HP and people who aren't retards bring dust or AoE when Slark goes invisible.[/QUOTE] Dusting Slark seems like a great way to waste money.

Yeah I love it when people dust you, I just laugh while I see the money go down the drain.

[QUOTE=Shibbey;40255113]Dusting Slark seems like a great way to waste money.[/QUOTE] Only if you are a retard at it. You either stun him/DoT him to death, or you dust him when purge is on CD. Or you can use sentries or abilities.

When he kills bounty hunter I love it when he says this "Don't track me down if you can't finish the job."

Wow I just looked through slarks lines and its amazing how many lines he has. I really should try playing this game without music. So much depth.

[QUOTE=Maruhai;40254433][url]http://www.thealliance.gg/[/url] nth sponsored. Alliance is pretty much the newly made Europe branch of EG, however they do not share sponsors.[/QUOTE] I have to say this: Bloody hell, such a bland, boring name. It's like the company spent 10 seconds coming up with it.

[QUOTE=mixshifter;40255687]NoTidehunter[/QUOTE] Where is my pennant Valve?

[QUOTE=BuffaloBill;40253705]Same here, and I both hate and love playing against him for the same reason. He's so easily countered, and he's so damn squishy, but half the time nobody bothers with it until he's too far gone already.[/QUOTE] Invisi heroes/anyone with shadowblade 101 I randomed clinkz yesterday, and actually lost that game, despite getting mkb, daed and orchid, because I wasn't the only one being neglected. The ursa and the nyx that were in my lane were also pretty much as neglected as I was. Ursa left to the jungle and nyx just stayed there farming against me. Minutes later, ursa gets roshan and already has shadow blade and all the shit he needs to tear everyone in half aswell. Theres one thing I love about clinkz. If he gets a bit late to a fight, it's perfect. Everyone is engaged in their own fights, while you appear out of nowhere with your arrow minigun. It's ever so fun to see the kills rack up :v:

Guys, slark wont ult to stay invisible. He's already seen in a smoke. Sentry wards do the counterimg job pretty well.

I play RD most of the time and whenever I see Witch Doctor in the pool I always try and pick him. He is just so damn fun, also a great support.

I totally missed if there was update this week or not. Was there?

[QUOTE=Fearlezz;40256167]I totally missed if there was update this week or not. Was there?[/QUOTE] valve is on vacay so no

just got called a tryhard by a mad as fuck offlane weaver tryhard is not an insult, people need to learn this

[QUOTE=Cloak Raider;40256225]just got called a tryhard by a mad as fuck offlane weaver tryhard is not an insult, people need to learn this[/QUOTE] I've been called try hard for dewarding in pubs. It's silly

[QUOTE=BuffaloBill;40254987]The ward looks like it's frightened :v:[/QUOTE] It's been fixed already tho, it's not afraid anymore ;o [img]http://horobox.co.uk/u/mrscrake_1365814128.png[/img]

[QUOTE=Pocket Medic;40253973]Shadow blade has no use for initiation, escape or burst damage on Slark because his 'excellent abilities' cover all those aspects. Alert said he takes advantage of his abilities, as shown by him saying that they're there for the utility, but not allowing a hero that gains a passive bonus from autoattacking to actually use his aa is just ridiculous.[/QUOTE] people are really underestimating Lothar's on Slark. The reason you get it is for the passive health regen while invisible. It synergises well with his hit-and-run playstyle, allowing you to dart in and out of combat while almost constantly remaining at full health. Now, there are better things to invest in, and it's certainly not core, but I often get it as a luxury item after I've gotten my Skaldi. With it I find I can often go 1v4 or 5 and come out on top.

[QUOTE=Shibbey;40255625]When was the last time a serious team had a good name?[/QUOTE] Most teams and eSport companies have names that had some thought behind them (Silly names, yes, but then again, this is professional gaming) not something a 12 year old me would call "unimaginative". Why not something like EG.eu if it really is EG?

imo slark scales with how long he can keep fighting so tankiness and attack speed comes naturally. i feel, outside of stomping/knowing 100% what you can do, shadowblade is a waste. after skadi i'd rather go linkens bkb or manta, due to you needing some kind of protective mechanism outside of your purge and pounce skullbasher is always good but i feel it's an item after skadi>defensive item edit: shameless selfplug [url]http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=132854675[/url]

On the topic of Slark, I love it when pubbies rush MoM on him. They think MoM+Ult makes him an unstoppable killing machine until you drop a sentry and blow his ass out of the water.

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.

I haven't tried Shadowblade slark, but it sounds like it would be really good for getting guaranteed pounces. Also, you know instantly if they have true sight due to your ult deactivating.
