I'm wondering if the taunt will be the shitty wizard one
[QUOTE=Lefter;40648266]I wonder how he'll be. I really hope he's a pessimistic,sadistic 40'er guy who gets all positive when his ult launches.

I would also like to hear his scream of pain when he death coils.[/QUOTE]
Based on Frostblade/Frostmourne and his ring wraith design I'm expecting a voice similar to AA. Wonder what his full name will be. If they don't keep Lord of Avernus I think Lord of Agony could be great.

That would be really cool, but I doubt they'd make 100+ animations. If they did, it would also take until well after TI3 for it to be completed.
[QUOTE=Naught;40648493]theres someone who just started playing dota who played a bit of league, and he said that snipers ult is overpowered[/QUOTE]
you should tell him about skywrath's
[QUOTE=leonthefox;40648481]Won't they run away when being attacked by tornado? A friend showed me how to stack the camp enxt to the cliff on radiant, but I don't really remember if the creeps ran away from tornado[/QUOTE]
They don't react to the tornado like they would to an alch's acid or radiance burn. I sit right next to the camp within r-click range and they just chill.
[QUOTE=ManinaBugSuit;40648348]If anyone has friends who play LoL, teach them about NP and his W. The reactions are quite enjoyable (especially when you tell them he's completely balanced)[/QUOTE]
As a former LoL player, there's a reason for this.
Waaaaay back when, there was a champion called Twisted Fate who had exactly NP's W. However, his ult was also a global reveal and he had an AoE stun on a 4 second cooldown. He was also a hard ranged carry and had decent burst damage. All this from a game where the average champion is significantly weaker than a Dota hero.
Needless to say, he was hilariously overpowered and basically made the LoL community and developers fear global TPs forever.

Also, does anyone else feel that Morph Shotgun is not that great of a build? I prefer getting Ultimate Orb items on him to Eth blade (terrible buildup IMO, but I suck so what do I know?)

ever since his morph manacost got ramped up massively it's just not worth it anymore

[QUOTE=Falcqn;40649072]The "Meranthic Diaspora" is a collection of different fish-people-thing races, I thought[/QUOTE]
[quote=Wikipedia]A diaspora (from Greek διασπορά, "scattering, dispersion") is "the movement, migration, or scattering of people away from an established homeland" or "people dispersed by whatever cause to more than one location",[3] or "people settled far from their ancestral homelands".[/quote]
It's just a group of Meranth that have been driven out of, or migrated far from, their homeland. They should still be of the same race.

I tried to trade some items for a bet but that died twice too.
To be honest, I really want Legion commander, winter wyvern and the soul keeper.
Dunno, Winter's Curse sounds fun as hell.
[QUOTE=devon_wargod;40647748]maybe it's just me but i'd rather have zet/arc warden than techies[/QUOTE]
Isn't Arc Warden considered to be imbalanced as fuck?

I used to play LoL, but now that I've switched over to Dota, one of my favourite hobbies is telling my LoL-playing friends about heroes in Dota that sound completely overpowered but are actually balanced (NP, Magnus, Zeus, AA, etc)

[QUOTE=maxumym;40649456]Isn't Arc Warden considered to be imbalanced as fuck?[/QUOTE]
According to one of my friends who plays Dota 1, the fact that Zet can double items (like double necro or dagon or whatever) is what makes him overpowered.

Do enlighten us on how Magnus is unbalanced in whichever way you think.
he has an ultimate that's ten times easier to use than engima's black hole and accomplishes the same result with half the cooldown, an escape mechanism that pulls heroes with you (it's like a pudge hook except from the other direction and aoe), a spammable line nuke with a thousand range, and without a doubt the single strongest steroid buff in the game
[QUOTE=Sir Whoopsalot;40649560]Do enlighten us on how Magnus is unbalanced in whichever way you think.[/QUOTE]
Uncontestable farm with bottlecrow, good escape, INSANE steroid for your carry, and a ult that's far too powerful and easy to use.
[QUOTE=Sir Whoopsalot;40649560]Do enlighten us on how Magnus is unbalanced in whichever way you think.[/QUOTE]
3.75 second aoe stun that goes through magic immunity with 100 second cooldown
I think double Midas and necrobook are the main points of Zet being not-exactly-balanced.
I also had the best game and team ever.
They let me mid as Clockwerk. We didn't feed. We communicated. We even had a girl on our team playing s tide.
Wondrous.

Speaking of RP, they should fix the visual effect. Watched one of the qualifiers last night and Magnus got someone in the visual effect but nothing happened.

Alright, fair enough. I never play Magnus and I really don't see him that often in game.

The RP animation is cancellable,that's why. Just like SF's razes and stuff.
[QUOTE=maxumym;40649808]The RP animation is cancellable,that's why. Just like SF's razes and stuff.[/QUOTE]
I'd have to check the replay to be sure but he didn't cancel it. He fully popped it, Tinker (I believe) was at the edge of the visual effect and calmly walked away.
I'm in school right now so I can't check for myself but if you want to have a look, get the replay of Rox.Kis vs Empire, game 2 (or whichever one has Empire rolling Magnus). I don't know the time-code but you have Magnus charging at Dire T1 tower with Tinker in sight.
Valve right now:

[QUOTE=aydin690;40649828]Valve right now:

How do you figure 6.4 mil?
[QUOTE=mitcheroo;40649865]How do you figure 6.4 mil?[/QUOTE]
Probably the difference from where we are to Goal 7 multiplied by 4 (only 25% of the Compendium's $10 goes towards the prize pool and goals).
Well considering most people want a better hero, this may actually end up at least getting to that last or second to last goal.
The question is, are people really gonna buy more compendiums to contribute $2.50 to the stretch goal? After everyone who wants it/the battle bonus/the courier has got one, it's gonna stop selling.
how much is a compendium anyway might buy one
