[QUOTE=Yahnich;49529024]i wouldnt exactly call trading a 12s cooldown for a 60s cooldown "easily countering"[/QUOTE] Slark can also know when SB is charging simply by looking at his buffs and seeing that enemies have vision on him. Then he can just TP home or into another lane.

Wouldn't Axe be a decent counter to Slark, at least for the first half of games? Berserker's Call is both AoE and can't be purged by anything, and he has no fear of Pounce since he wants to be at melee range anyways.

Provided you shit on Slark early game, he's not likely to be relevant in the later stages.

I also checked and Druid's new roar is also unpurgeable and pierces magic immunity, it really is like a reverse Axe call

Berserker's Call is both AoE and can't be purged by anything, and he has no fear of Pounce since he wants to be at melee range anyways.[/QUOTE] Early game yes, but Slark isn't going to fight you 1v1 if he's smart and lategame he'll just hit you and steal essence stacks.

[QUOTE=Lone Wolf807;49529884]but Slark isn't going to fight you 1v1 if he's smart[/QUOTE] [B]IF[/B]

Nobody fights an Axe early game 1v1 if they're smart but that's the whole point, just stand between him and your more vulnerable teammates or the creepwave Late game you'll be having to hope that your teammates can burst him while you hold him in Call though, yeah, though Blademails are always nice against him since he almost always does far more damage than he can afford to recieve

[QUOTE=unlimi_Ted;49529535]I also checked and Druid's new roar is also unpurgeable and pierces magic immunity, it really is like a reverse Axe call[/QUOTE] I fucking hate it, I hope we don't get any more "fear" skills. But oh well, seems like a perfect time to learn alone druid

[QUOTE=Clovis;49530244]If we're assuming every player is stupid then the axe would be too stupid to do this anyways[/QUOTE] In my skill bracket most people are smart enough to know how to fight, but not smart enough to know when not to fight

[quote]* Fixed a matchmaking abuse with Oracle. Users that have abused this have been set back into calibration mode.[/quote] oh wow Can't believe they sent them back to calibration edit: I'm actually upset, since I saw this exploit posted on dev.dota before weeks ago, but got fixed 13 hours after a thread on plebbit was made.

That's textbook "good", where's notion to be upset?

[QUOTE=Tokagero;49532415]An issue was found, made public, fixed and sanctions against people who abused it were carried out. That's textbook "good", where's notion to be upset?[/QUOTE] Well it bothers me it was posted weeks ago but nothing done about it, to get a bug fixed you pretty much need a thread in plebbit with enough upboats.

"Fixed a bug with particle effects attached to units in fog of war which could cause the particles to appear in the wrong place." Translates to "Made half the particles in the game invisible and the rest are still visible through fog of war."

[QUOTE=Clovis;49533403]So whats this oracle matchmaking abuse?[/QUOTE] purify flames' heal over time effect was accidentally adding to player mmr

[QUOTE=Clovis;49533403]So whats this oracle matchmaking abuse?[/QUOTE] If you were calibrating (or maybe normal match making) you could just spam oracles E and since it did damage and healing, the calibration system would think you did a LOT more than you actually did.

(imagine tho) [editline]14th January 2016[/editline] oh wow that was actually it i was just making jokes

Translates to "Made half the particles in the game invisible and the rest are still visible through fog of war."[/QUOTE] Reminds me of this phrase from my tf2 days "make 5 bugs for every bug they fix"

[QUOTE=leonthefox;49532480]Well it bothers me it was posted weeks ago but nothing done about it, to get a bug fixed you pretty much need a thread in plebbit with enough upboats.[/QUOTE] That's because it was made public, almost no one goes to dev.dota except people who actually report stuff to be fixed, and tbh reddit is the most "public" website I know. And when it became public, more people used it in game which made it easier and more important for Valve to fix.
