A rubick stole split earth today, and found a bit funny how he wasn't dealing as much as damage as me because he can't steal my aura :v:
[editline]16th June 2013[/editline]
[QUOTE=ironman17;41063325]I dunno; Aghs on Rubick is a tricky thing to design. Thing is, most of the time a hero with a worthwhile Ult usually has Scepter in their arsenal, so buying a Scepter so that any Ults you get are Aghs'd doesn't seem as worthwhile, since Heroes with powerful ults tend to have Scepter by the time things start heating up. Also the less mana thing probably wouldn't make it worthwhile either.
Personally my impression of Rubick Aghs is that it could potentially "broaden" the number of spells he could borrow, though apparently borrowing a friend's ult could potentially be overkill, like having 2 full-power Infernals stomping all around. But now here's another thought; perhaps Scepter could enable Spell Steal to temporarily borrow a passive skill from the enemy (as well as the spell) if they have one (nabbing Storm Spirit's passive would be handy for Rubick), OR perhaps have Spell Steal actually steal the spell for a brief period, as in the hero cannot use that spell until Rubick is done with it.
It wouldn't make much difference to Heroes with big stompy ults with long cooldowns, unless they have Refresher, but for those spells that quickly cool down, like Rigwarl's Bogies or Zeus' Arc Lightning, that could take a significant edge off the target hero if they survive that long.[/QUOTE]
There is a video explaining when to get aghanim on rubick, basically, when the enemy has a good upgrade, but the position they are playing won't allow them to get scepter unless balling out of contro/game extendedl
[QUOTE=Shibbey;41061954]While we're on the subject of Agha upgrades, Skeleking should get it so that if he kills someone after reviving, a chunk of the cooldown is removed so he can revive again sooner.[/QUOTE]
It should add the new active effect for the blood stone- meaning the skelly can reincarnate prematurely to heal his team (and himself in the process!)
Have a game where everyone is nice and communicates, we lose
Have a game where we have the worst Riki in the world (never talks except to flame, does literally the exact opposite of what we tell him to do, plays solo entire game and dies a shitton because he got Vlad's first against a Bounty Hunter), we win

This fucking game sometimes.
Played a game as leshrac, my entire team was filipino and i couldn't understand anything they were saying. I got a decent amount of farm and kills and took down at least 4 towers, and 30 minutes in my internet pooped and i got dced. I hurriedly rejoined, knowing that if i don't rejoin i'll get low priority, to find that the game just ended. I hadn't abandoned, and sat there looking at the scoreboard as we lost. Then i got a tickled tegu courier.
sorry about the punctuation in there, its really bugging me and i am too lazy to fix it.

That's the same thing as I get. Nice teammates somehow always equal a loss. At least the game is fun.

Whenever my team is full of non-English-speakers picking inappropriate heroes, everything bodes ill, and I tell myself "This is going to be a fucking disaster...", we end up stomping and I have to tell myself to shut up.
Mostly only when single- or duo-queueing, though. If you're searching as four, you are prone to end up with the biggest window-licker on the server as your fifth.

Remember kids, Riki is trash around people that know what they're doing.
Or just whoever buys a gem

well that riki didn't know what he was doing
you also bought a bracer as carry sven without turning it into drum anyway

Oh shit, totally forgot. My friend kept telling me to buy him arcanes and it slipped my mind.
oh jesus all these fucking builds are weird
dagon on viper
eblade on clinkz + skillbuild
furion skillbulid
timber almost maxing whirling first but randomly changing it
doom with aghs but no drum

You don't seriously need drums on Doom, he gets cash like mad and you can easy get better items instead of spending it on drums...
But Vanguard I don't like on Doom.
Edit: Oh god that Furion skillbuild.

Yeah they started dicking around after awhile.
dagon on a non nuker caster kinda denotes a stomp
[QUOTE=Gar~;41066173]reduce manacost to zero maybe[/QUOTE]
Better idea is that if Skeleton King dies he spawns 2 perfect clones of himself with individual XP, Items and money!
The more you kill Skeleton King the more enemies you have to kill!
[QUOTE=Gar~;41066173]reduce manacost to zero maybe[/QUOTE]
or save yourself 3600g and buy a soul ring
you cant guarantee a soul ring ult if there are mana burners on the other team which is the whole point of it
[QUOTE=Totenkreuz;41063132]I am so tired of Lifestealer. If I see him in game I almost want to leave, if I see him in a comp game I just close out.
He's so annoying and boring to watch[/QUOTE]
Likewise, which makes stomping one 100 times more satisfying: [url]http://dotabuff.com/matches/221244144[/url] :v:
Elder Titan is fun as hell and his model is probably the best looking one in the game. I just played four matches in a row with him and in the chaos of a teamfight, he just rocks the shit out of everyone. It's insane once you get a Veil too.

His model is amazing but sadly his voice doesn't really fit. Big foreboding design with a pretty fearsome face, yet the voice of an old apache man.

The only thing I don't like about him is how he says "Such and so"
He puts a really weird emphasis on the 'and' part.
"Such [i]and[/i] so"
It just...
Ughhh
Veil refresher is really gimmicky, you're supposed to play ET as a tank
you'll end up doing a lot more reducing agility carries armor by 30 and destroying everybodies magic resist rather than trying to double veil ult
Not saying you shouldn't, but its really the supports job to get a Veil in the first place

What's wrong with it? I'll most likely get dumbed to oblivion because of this but why is it wrong?
its pretty clustered but the ideal build is to get level three treants asap and one in tp and one in sprout before 6. its not that vomitworthy, but it still seems as if he had no clue what he was doing and just made his skillbuild up on the spot
[QUOTE=Constructor;41066900]What's wrong with it? I'll most likely get dumbed to oblivion because of this but why is it wrong?[/QUOTE]
It's schizophrenic as hell and he gets his ultimate at level 12 instead of 11 for some odd reason.
It's just [i]weird[/i].

I literally don't know what to say to this. Building him tanky without a Veil is just a complete waste. Veil is devastating on him. He's just this massive artillery cannon that does to much damage with little to no risk if you're decent with position. I had a shitton of fun building a Mek on him too. He doesn't have any innate tank besides Strength gain so I don't know why you would build him as such. You can, but he takes advantage of so many other items. Veil, Shiva, Rod of Atos isn't a bad pickup on him, he's a good Pipe carrier, Refresher...sure, I guess if you can take the insane mana cost.
Also, who builds a Refresher if they're not massively ahead already?
