"aiushtha, heal plz" ...I do belive we'll get update tonight since they have to add deus ex announcer
Also, here's something you might find interesting: I did some mapping tests to see if I could get global lighting color to change randomly per map spawn. [URL="https://a.pomf.cat/ivuxnh.mp4"]It worked.[/URL] Edit: You don't see my second monitor which I use to have my console open and spawn the map several times. Later on, I tried to get that global lighting PLUS skyboxes to change dynamically in-game. [URL="https://a.pomf.cat/ffdyfr.mp4"]That worked too (sort of).[/URL] It's a bit unreliable. Possibly because of how small the triggers are and how they're set up. There are 6 triggers placed on the edges of the island plus a group of triggers separating them from each other which unloads the spawngroup, which is what I used to change between the different global lights and skybox color variants. Some of them were a bit easier to trigger while others are a bit finicky because of their location. I think I need to do some more testing to get it working fully and reliably. I might have to settle with using scripts probably, if all else fails. When the map turns black, that means it tried to change lighting while another light is already active, which breaks literally everything (fog, vision, lighting, etc.) since it shouldn't be able to have 2 or more global lights with 100% intensity overlap. Oh and also, this is using spawngroup loading/unloading, which is basically the level streaming stuff they introduced some time ago. Fun, fun!
What do you all think the update tomorrow will bring, aside from Underlord and the UI update?
Nothing besides deus ex announcer I guess
Outworld Devourer is so strong, I just played him and he is so good, I haven't played him since his Astral Imprisonment spell used to steal intelligence.
[QUOTE=MrDestroyer;50928778]What do you all think the update tomorrow will bring[/QUOTE] Prediction points, also maybe a suprice arcana for someone unexpected.
Hopefully those chests with the rare shit come out tomorrow

[QUOTE=pedrus24;50928954]Play ranked if you don't want people to tell you that kind of shit.[/QUOTE] lol as if ranked is any different people just play in smurfs they don't give a single fuck about losing or winning
I once met a guy in ranked who played only for farming up inscribed gems in his items so yeah, playing ranked doesnt mean you're safe from idiots.
Anyone want to trade their Ripper's Reel for my Peregrine Flight? I also have the Earth Spirit Immortal.
Are there any sites where you can trade in your Dota 2 items for credits and then buy other Dota 2 items with them? Also is anyone here trading any weather items?
steam market tbh it killed off a lot of the "warehouse" type sites
Behold, I have captured the essence of support play in less than 30 seconds. [vid]https://a.pomf.cat/dcdbrh.webm[/vid]
Where is pitlord/undercunt/abyssal underlord ?
Certainly not first thing in the morning without an update to bring him over.
[QUOTE=Clovis;50934800]everyone should build cloak on spirit breaker because he has lines for it[/QUOTE] Why does he have multiple blink dagger lines
[QUOTE=ferrus;50934857]Why does he have multiple blink dagger lines[/QUOTE] Why not?

i'm not very fond of pitlord's design
at least they put armor on him
Gonna point out that underlords first catagory on that page is support
[quote][video]https://youtu.be/l7F7Rj31fsU[/video][/quote] He sounds like bristleback on steroids imo
He feels very similar to bristle but played like a support. I still don't know if he needs a blink though
Blink is basically a "fuck your wombocombo" - stay behind team, once they all get ravagedblackholed - call ult - jump in - tp everyone out. His lore is kinda shit, its basically a skeleton king v2; I was actually hoping he was destroying cities and making massacres in order to stop kotl or someone else, making him begin actually the good guy, heh.
[QUOTE=VeLlix;50935561]Blink is basically a "fuck your wombocombo" - stay behind team, once they all get ravagedblackholed - call ult - jump in - tp everyone out.[/QUOTE] Good luck doing that with the delay. It could be pretty damn good in a gimmicky way if it was pulled off properly, but I don't see it as very likely for it to be in time.
[QUOTE=VeLlix;50935316]He sounds like bristleback on steroids imo[/QUOTE] sounds like a mix of bristleback and abaddon i'm sorry but valve was really lazy with this hero
[QUOTE=Captain Chalky;50935593]People do that with Wisp all the time in pro play. Smaller delay, sure, but basically the same thing. Some pro players have shown such insane prediction skills that I'm sure we'll see it a lot in the future. Underlord in general is absolute trash in pub play but he has great potential for pro play. Hopefully we don't have to wait 10 years until he gets added there. With the International over, you could just add Underlord and Warden to CM anyway.[/QUOTE] His tp has more than double the delay at every rank except three once you factor in the cast animation. You see how many times Wisp relocates someone out at 500 hp, I don't think they'd survive double the amount of time. I have no doubts that good people will find some very useful applications for his ultimate, a global teleport (that has to be bound to a unit, but global nonetheless) is never bad, particularly when it affects more than a couple units at a time. One use I can see is that you can have the foresight to know things will go sour and then just cancel a teamfight. I get the impression his other spells are just bad in general. Firestorm is hardly comparable to sunray since it deals less damage, has lower range, and cannot be repositioned. The pit deals pitiful damage and requires far too many skill points before it becomes usable, if you look at for example when Naga Siren was meta it was commonplace to just skill stats over a bkb piercing 2 second ensnare at rank 1. The aura seems pretty decent. Even in a perfect scenario where your entire firestorm hits, would you not be better off if you were a different hero altogether?
Easy first game vs Pitlord. [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/LDpbGlM.jpg[/IMG]
