[QUOTE=Ninja_Blue;34119291]It's kind of funny every time melonmonkey asks for people to show him the quotes and such to back up why people don't like him, because he's the only one that needs to be convinced when almost the entire thread is sharing the same opinion about him.[/QUOTE]
i could care less because i'm not a gay baby retard stinkin up the thread with tears.
[QUOTE=Tokagero;34119452]It's some minor nerfs, a couple of significant ones and entire rest is increasing abilities damage, tweaking cooldowns, or stuff like with Axe (buff to team on ulti kill, bonus MS via berserker, decreased CD between helix).
I think game might become more lively, as survivability-wise not much has changed ( or I didn't notice the changes) but damage-wise a lot has gone up.
Oh, -25HP on Vanguard.[/QUOTE]
Indeed, I saw.
They nerfed AM, which might make him less of a game stomper in Dota 2.
I'm glad they implemented a cheap variety of boots that have huge movement speed but not such good stats, makes life of a support ganker much easier.
Also, Halberd's gonna be used so much now, especially on AM/Void. Pretty much a hard counter to Void's Chronosphere if he doesn't trap the one with the Halberd.

The nerf to his BAT was actually really huge. His low bat is the only thing that makes him a carry. It means he benefits more from attack speed than any other hero in the game. Now that it's closer to normal heroes, he should go back to just being really strong.
Fourth or so game I did pretty well (by my standards)

You did very well but you should go for Magic Stick/Wand instead of Bottle, it boosts your stats and gives you a lot of mana when you have 5-10 charges. And in team battles you will mostly have around 10 anyway.
Also, a Helm of the Dominator is a good item on Drow Ranger, it lets you survive in harsh situations and the Dominate Creep spell can be used to stack the Ancients thus giving you a better Gold Per Minute.

treads on int and bottle.

[QUOTE=melonmonkey;34118986]Not really.
1. He's rarely ever picked in competetive play
2. He has no survivability.
3. His carry mechanic is snowballing which requires kills that aren't guaranteed in dota.
4. As I said before, he has no farming mechanic so he can't get last hits.
5. He has no hard disables. Last word is nice because it's global, but it doesn't stand up to chronosphere or or mana burn in consistency.[/QUOTE]
You just described a carry. Gj buddy
[QUOTE=melonmonkey;34119142]Honestly, I expressed an unfavorable opinion without naming names or attacking anyone. Then everyone started attacking me personally. I haven't been mean to anyone.[/QUOTE]
Oh but basically telling me to [I]kill myself[/I] over Steam was "an unfavorable opinion" too?

Nothing wrong with putting boots on int if you're not attacking anything...

I never told you to kill yourself on steam. Stop making things up
You took a private conversation we had and posted it on the forums. That is a betrayal of trust to me so I decided im done putting up with your shit, said good luck with being suicidal, and blocked you.
Can we drop the melonmonkey drama already

I linked Nomadic the conversation, you said "have fun being suicidal", yes. Like that's the perfect thing to tell someone.
Also, if you're mad at me linking said fragment of conversation, you [B]know[/B] it was a dumb thing to say.
But whatever, have fun being dumb and ending up being ignored in this megathread.

To stay on-topic: I hope they introduce Meepo, Invoker and Medusa together. The 3 hardest heroes at the same time.
And then pray that the bad ones are on the enemy team.

Wow you must be really offended if you saved the chatlog. I sincerely apologize for causing you such distress. If you want more of an apology ask me in a pm so we stop cluttering this thread.
Oh god I love meepo... Can't wait for him. Also bloodseeker may not be the best carry but hes a pubstomper for sure lol

That's because nobody bothers to get TP scrolls.
[QUOTE=Dwragon82997;34120024]You just described a carry. Gj buddy[/QUOTE]
What? Good carries have all these things.
Spectre: stupid good survivability, games best escape mechs, so tanky his enemies cant stop his farm.
Void: stupid strong disatble with chronosphere and his stun. Amazing survivability with backtrack. Great escape mech.
Anti mage: second best escape mech in the game. Great scaling with his low bat. Great skill synergy and 50% magic resist.
What does silencer have?
Passive, combat dependant int steal. Crazy damage potential. No escape, no way to farm, bad disables

Or idiots keep running clueless of rupture. My last game I would always just rupture their storm because he would try to ult away and instant die and just give me HP to finish off the rest of his team.

Damn, I love Viper. Go near him, you're so dead.
Two things:
1 - Whats better for a support: Arcane Boots or Treads
2 - Why is it the 'better players' have some weird/trollish name?

1 - Depends on the hero, sometimes BoT are a good option too, or even phase in some situations.
2 - Because they can
