Giant Bomb did an interview with one of the workshop contributors who makes a living on his item sales. Pretty interesting.

Just won a game because an enemy went afk, game ebcame safe to leave, minutes later the enemy carry who was freefarming and got several kills, goes "I can't carry this alone" and disconnects
with their carry gone we could do anything
I'm surprised how quickly people give up, they had a big advantage and our team wasn't doing that well

and the DC would just give him and his team even more gold..
I think Zeus should be given a small tweak to his W, like allow his W to be point unit or location. If targeted on a location, it will deal no damage by itself, but proc his E and give the true sight in an area, this would make him a better counter to invis heroes as he could do it anytime without a creep nearby. His ult should also damage invis heroes already, I mean seriously, why is that there?

One thing that I love about Zeus is when you use your W on a creep and it reveals a ward near it.
According to this guy that made workshop items, not only is Venomancer being remade, but Storm Spirit is too: [url]http://www.giantbomb.com/podcasts/how-to-make-a-living-on-someone-else-s-game/1600-500/[/url]

It gives true sight in a radius. You can use this to reveal invisible heroes and wards. Absurdly useful.
If you want to save money you can aggro a creep to ward areas and use them to reveal wards for a brief time and then destroy it with autoattacks.
PA goes to farm the Radiant hard camp right by the mid t2 tower(I'm on the cliff above it dicking around near the bot t2). My Darktroll Warlord spots her and she starts to attack it. I manage to 2 shot her(did I mention I'm playing dagon chen). Then I come up with the idea to control the Wildkin in that camp and leave it there to bait her. 2 deaths later(one at my hands) PA decides to go back and farm that hard camp. Waiting for her is a lone Wildkin that doesn't aggro when she daggers it but fuck that she needs that gold. I come out from small camp and wombocombo her.
Here's the match ID All the fun starts around 32m

[QUOTE=ironman17;40950865]Truth; though do you think he needs some rebalancing?[/QUOTE]
I don't think so, he is really squishy, slow, and his only escape mechanism is you attacking him (so that was kind of a buff) - plus seeing as you max nethertoxin early without bothering about corrosive skin later (tratditionally anyways) he's not that hard to shut down in the early game really. Viper just has high kill potential early which he feeds himself off of early, kinda like a Silencer. Also unlike many other heroes he doesn't have any significant level 1 skills to set kills up and he has really weak base damage. Sure "Viper is a cunt" who permaslows you and DoTs you and kites you to death, but he's really not that strong on paper. His orb also seems cool and stuff but it prevents him on having other orbs that would really synergize with nethertoxin like Desolator or whatever. The only thing I think he'd ever be picked up for is his ultimate, but he's not really worth it. He has nothing to offer other than being really annoying
He's kinda weak, I think he's pretty balanced, just easily pubstomps
[QUOTE=Totenkreuz;40955357]It sure felt like it, it was 14-0 and everyone but void left, then we mostly started screwing around.[/QUOTE]
I had one of those. [url]http://dotabuff.com/matches/215081597[/url]
Me and Undying raped our lane, Batrider rocked the shit out of mid, as soon as we were mobile Tiny was tossing me in like a boss, I don't even know why I bought a Blink Dagger that game. Rubick was warding like a hard support and we caught a lot of people out. Our initiation was insane.
If that was normal queue I might have accepted the accusation that we were a stack.

Viper's still the best Huskar counter atm. No attack speed and Nethertoxin is physical.
He countered any right clicker that relies on magic immunity to save them, his ult is too good against it
every time i play allpick i remember why i dont play allpick
I love Viper Scepter so much goddamn
Huskar Scepter is the new meta
[QUOTE=Anonymuzz;40957575]every time i play allpick i remember why i dont play allpick[/QUOTE]
I moved over to Single Draft because All pick is so toxic
In my experience, SD is usually even worse with all the 5 carries situations.
what's been annoying me about all pick recently is that there 2-3 of their team seem to wait until the last possible second (IE just as the creeps spawn) to pick their god damn character, and it's always a fucking perfect counter pick to what ever my team has. for instance somebody on my team will pick riki or nyx (who i know are easy to counter anyway but that's not the point) or something stealthy so the enemy will wait for ever and then pick somebody like slardar or bounty and then proceed to shit all over them and via feeding, the rest of the team.
I'd much prefer an all pick with the random draft mode of forced picking within a time period, pisses me off to keep getting counter picked because they waited up to 2x longer
what happened this time is four people in the team picked moderately well with solid lanes, then someone decides to pick a jungler and we just get fucked because we don't have anyone that can solo well. i don't even really mind the people that pick nothing but natures prophet or something as long as they do so early so they don't throw a wrench in the team makeup
its why i like all random and random draft, i don't feel like i'm in a 5v5 staring contest during the picks
well, as much of a staring contest. even in a 4-lock RD, there sometimes ends up being that one pub that picks something awful at the end, but i find it happens a hell of a lot less
[QUOTE=MaxisOp;40954275]I have 42 abandons, 3 of which are actually problems, 38 from my parents refusing to understand Dota, and 1 because I fucking hate Viper bot luck and how he got every uphill attack in the game.[/QUOTE]
I thought my 7 abandons were a lot.
I got 4 from games where I single handedly won us the game by ownage but enemy refused to unpause, I then returned and murdered everyone. (Still shows up as a loss on dotabuff for some reason)
I got 1 from crashing at the "play" button and enemy refusing to pause (this took a while because my computer refused to do anything)
I got 1 from DIRETIDE, seriously, I was taking my sweet time buying stuff in shop (maybe 2 minutes), and then lolabandon.
I got 1 from real life calling and interrupting my dota.
I've got about 30-40 abandons. I'm not even counting because my dota crashes way too much to count them.
7 Abandons in ~1100 games!
Where 2 are actual quits (Where one was last week)
Sometimes you think you play with intelligent people in your MMR queue because you had a great 1 hour long game where everyone was equally skilled and shit, really tough.
The next game you have 2 mids who die from solo mid dark seer fighting about who gets mid, I just quit the game I couldn't bear wasting my time on those faggots.
