[QUOTE=Behemoth_PT;41019713]Guys I don't know where the trade thread went so I just wanted to tell you that I have a Taunt for Juggernaut I'm willing to trade (check my inventory) for another taunt. I don't like Juggy that much.[/QUOTE] [t]http://u.cubeupload.com/jechtman/264Capture.png[/t]
How to counter Spirit Breaker?
[QUOTE=FlashMarsh;41020434]How to counter Spirit Breaker?[/QUOTE] [IMG]http://www.dota2wiki.com/images/9/9d/Ghost_Scepter_icon.png[/IMG]
[QUOTE=FlashMarsh;41020434]How to counter Spirit Breaker?[/QUOTE] Wards, sticking together under your towers, and TP scrolls so everybody TPs back to base just in case they are SB's target.
[QUOTE=FlashMarsh;41020434]How to counter Spirit Breaker?[/QUOTE] Stun him during charge
[QUOTE=FlashMarsh;41020434]How to counter Spirit Breaker?[/QUOTE] Stealth can work, but remember that if you go invisible after he starts charging, you will still have the marker above your head. He won't get truesight but if he carries dust, invis won't help. Move in big groups. Bait him: Have a support go into lane, making it seem as if he is farming for more wards to buy, and when he charged at him, you and your allies stand near (and hidden) the lure. TP out before he catches you with charge. You can very easily be bashlocked if he can attack you, which cancels TP. Go out before it is too late. Slows might not stop him completely, but they reduce the damage he deals with Greater Bash. Because his charge and ultimate apply Greater Bash as well, you can try to slow him even if it wouldn't seem to help. You can reduce the incoming damage by a good amount if your slow is strong.
Why are people bitching about quick-cast "ruining Dota" Doesn't seem all that bad to me
[QUOTE=HAKKAR!!!;41021576]Why are people bitching about quick-cast "ruining Dota" Doesn't seem all that bad to me[/QUOTE] The people who don't use smartcast think that it gives an unfair advantage over them. You might hear of stuff like "meepo cheat scripts" or something similar.
[QUOTE=Bordellimies;41021769]The people who don't use smartcast think that it gives an unfair advantage over them. You might hear of stuff like "meepo cheat scripts" or something similar.[/QUOTE] I wanna see the full effect of the smartcast in qop and timbersaw.
[QUOTE=Bordellimies;41021769]The people who don't use smartcast think that it gives an unfair advantage over them. You might hear of stuff like "meepo cheat scripts" or something similar.[/QUOTE] That's a dumb argument. It's available to everyone and adding an OPTION to the game. It's the player's choice to opt in or out of it.
Holy shit all these cosmetics that in the test look unfitting as fuck,.
[QUOTE=Bordellimies;41021769]The people who don't use smartcast think that it gives an unfair advantage over them. You might hear of stuff like "meepo cheat scripts" or something similar.[/QUOTE] Well, there's an issue when people abuse scripts and command chains in games that generally don't provide accessible way to do so for an average user. Basically, Source is well known for it's customisable & open character and in it's current state I can bet that there are some scripts that people use that do gain edge in Dota 2. It's however different issue, as now smartcast is given as an option, just like legacy keys or global-command modifier key, so that's just choice and noone can really cry out about any sort of advantage here. Especially since it introduces it's own limitations and weaknesses, like the current un-synergetic behaviour with toggleable spells/orbs, potential to waste spells more easily due to mistake or no indication of AoE/etc.
[QUOTE=Namaste;41021838]That's a dumb argument. It's available to everyone and adding an OPTION to the game. It's the player's choice to opt in or out of it.[/QUOTE] I'm not against smartcasting, but to be fair it does allow macros for Meepo or Invoker for intance. Like Blink + mass Poof before the enemy can react, using the macro you can save even a second or two. If you ever play against unfair bots you notice that they cast the spells always at the exact right moment. It feels like playing against a machine who has infinitely faster reaction times than you, which is why some feel it is cheating.

If some exploit comes out of the smartcast like in TF2 (the heavy g.r.u script) that would be easy to patch. People just whine for everything.
I actually tried tiny wisp for the first time today, you dont even have to do anything after relocating, tiny does all the work [img]http://puu.sh/3eUDr.jpg[/img] we were 24-9 before they called GG all i can say is [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=us8OhI-OTHg[/media]

i understand the others have some sort of appeal to them like the pudge set but that bristleback set is inexcusable [sp]and im buying it before it gets to ursa alpine set status[/sp]

woo had a game of dota where i was commended on both sides for playing a good kunkka: [url]http://dotabuff.com/matches/218297851[/url] i kept getting called out for having good plays and felt very nice.
why do people still use commends for good play I don't get it
[QUOTE=ForgottenKane;41017594]Holy shit, Huskar is so fucking broken now it's insane. I have never seen a hero so indestructible as he is now. Is there any team lineup I could use to bring him down? Because Necrolyte sure as hell won't work anymore, the one on my team could't even come close to killing him.[/QUOTE] Is aa still strong against him? 10+% hp is still a lot
[QUOTE=devon_wargod;41022454]why do people still use commends for good play I don't get it[/QUOTE] because i was a good sport about it and not rubbed it in their face? i commended them too for being good people.
the bristle shirt won't go anywhere, it has a high rating on the workshop. The only reason Alpine ursa was removed was because of the low rating.
What's wrong with simple, peasantish, middle-ages like, linen shirt ? He's civilized enough to drink at taverns, I doubt concept of upper body clothing is alien to him.
[QUOTE=Tokagero;41022659]What's wrong with simple, peasantish, middle-ages like, linen shirt ? He's civilized enough to drink at taverns, I doubt concept of upper body clothing is alien to him.[/QUOTE] it looks terrible and could have been executed better
[QUOTE=Keychain;41022673]it looks terrible and could have been executed better[/QUOTE] [I]It looks fine and has been executed well.[/I] Opinions mate, people liked it enough for it to make it's way through workshop, unitary points of view matter little here. It doesn't break the mood or style, should be noticeable in-game, opens up ideas for future cosmetics and got positive results on Workshop, what else do you need ?
