Razor picks make me believe in rigged games. Razor's been auto lose for like 2 years now.

it's really bizarre to me that this is such a common sentiment. it's complete nonsense
razor is in a weird spot where he eats pubs but as soon as you know what he does he needs items to actually do it
I personally like drafting razor vs 1-2 melee core lineups. Works well with faceless too. Scales better than people give him credit for (look at FATA)
Also, word coming in on why James was fired: he kept going in after production told him to cut to breaks for 30 minutes. Good or bad, he didn't listen so that's probably why he was fired. Official response later

In 23 years of watching professional Doat I have never seen Razor win a game.

Razor is SUPER FUN the first 15 min and then I want to kill myself for the rest of the game.
In a perfect world

wasn't Razor one of the ubiquitous picks of the "deathball down all of the towers in 20 minutes" meta of TI4?

I think that's around the time is was common for every lane to be 1v1 with both supports roaming so he did really well in most lanes
Un fucking believable that they got rid of James.
Meanwhile Richard Lewis assaulted Loda and is still doing Valve CS:GO events. :goodjob:
A few months ago I doodled an idea for a Shadow Fiend head item out of boredom, I decided to revisit it recently since SF is actually available in the workshop and tried to sketch up the rest of the set.

Any feedback? Should I go after the idea and try to find someone to model it (since I can't model. But I guess I can try to learn as well)?

I really like the general idea of the set but I am personally not a fan of the entire upper torso dude sticking out of the arm, I think simpler shapes like the eyes and mouths get the spooky idea of absorbed tortured souls across well enough
[editline]26th February 2016[/editline]
I actually [i]really[/i] like the mouths, especially if they could be placed on parts of the arm that will stretch with movement so it looks like they open and close

The idea behind the set was SF being an amalgamation of the souls he once stole, their forms set into his stone. Upper torsos felt natural, but I don't really intend to add more than the three visible now (Their only purpose is to contribute to his silhouette without looking too out of place)

so much potential in this one actually, the way i see it with custom animations jigling for mouths, eyes and limbs is very exciting...
i wonder if valve in this case would also accept something that hovers base body mesh completly, so try make another sketch with his base body changed as well.

Unless you can replace the base mesh, rather than model over it, it's pretty unlikely due to poly limits.
But I'll sketch over the body anyway :P

I was always under the impression that recipes were some sort of magic scroll that transmutes the items into what they're supposed to be crafted into.

I've been browsing here and reddit the last half hour looking for the reason the caster got kicked any I can't find anything. All I see on reddit is a massive circle jerk about how great he is. Anyone have an explanation?

No one knows until Yames releases his statement later tonight

Given the video seen above and the fact that james said that they were yelling at him to go to break, I'm guessing that management is getting really angry at all the technical issues and canned him for discussing it on air. I'm under the impression that saving face is taken much more seriously over there.
Maybe every Chinese tournament that isn't MarsTV should get their shit together then. Fucking Mineski had to save like two Chinese tournaments so far by basically taking over managing them, Nanyang and one other.

if production tells you to go to break and you ignore them, then mock them what did he expect to happen?

why tell him to be himself then if they had issues with something he did?
Hahaha holy shit I'm dying
Gabe straight up called him an ass, which isn't untrue but damn. Hiring James for a "premium" tourney run by Valve is just asking for trouble. James is far better suited for Not-So-Serious tournaments like Dreamleague, Dreamhack, MLG etc etc. Hopefully this doesn't spell the end for James' presence in the Dota scene. I dunno how I'd feel if the head honcho of the company for the game you cover puts you on blast like that.
"Some people at Valve lobbied for him" aka Bruno.
Good to hear that production is being replaced tho.
"James is an ass, and we won't be working with him again." Holy fucking shit.
I just want to know what he did so I can pass judgement as someone who has no effect in this situation.
I'm quoting the thread but if James is an asshole what is Richard Lewis who [I]fucking assaulted Loda[/I] but still hosts Valve sanctioned CSGO events?
Poor James. :frown:

Valve sanctioned =/= valve run I think. Is RLewis at the majors?

pretty shitty that Gabe has to be the one to say anything about it, is he the only one at Valve capable of making decisions[/QUOTE]
Blame chain of command, probably the one who lobbied for him said it

It's because no one else wants to communicate for the corporation. Most of the Dota 2 team are just programmers/artists that just want to keep what they're doing, because if you communicate, you automatically represent the company. Tho it could be a case that the internal Valve event staff are pussies too so they make Gabe be the representative.
