Is there really no way to bypass the 30-day steam community market restriction?
I bought a steam wallet card so excitedly because a set I want is priced at like $1.51 only to find out that I won't be able to use my funds for 30 days and during that time the price may go up :(
[QUOTE=Clovis;51088781]okay this was like the worst example but whatever i still think the 5 reasons to pick are lame[/QUOTE]
Don't worry, I think you're lame too.
Anyone else hyped for 6.89 and Monkey King?

Tidehunter will be banned in that tournament
How do you change Omniknight so he's less busted in pubs but still keeps him as "Omniknight"?
Does he need to be changed? Repel can already be dealt with using purges, people just don't realize it.
I'm hesitant to cite winrates but he has over 60+% at all levels of play. Purges aren't doing much to stop him in this case.
I want to see him changed to be less pubstompy and less one-dimensional rather than see him nerfed outright, similar to Bloodseeker a little while ago.
I guess Degen Aura could be reworked into a new ability, since it isn't really a trademark ability for him.
Omniknight's problem is that he's a melee support that needs xp and farm.

Remember ppd saying that on stream last (?) year.
What 100% makes Omniknight a pubstomper is nothing but repel, that ability is busted in uncoordinated pubs, especially if you pick it against a team with no natural purges/diffusal builders. If you want him to be more than that then the ability probably needs to go.
I thought refilling diffusal charges was a thing? Just buying a recipe, thats weird, can't you fill drum charges by buying the recipe?

Degen aura is really good.
I like Omni as he is, he's a shitty hero that can win in pubs. He is graced by god.[QUOTE=Yahnich;51097074]literally the only thing that needs to happen to make that hero less retarded in pubs is being able to refill diffusal without having to buy a brand new one[/QUOTE]
It would have to be super expensive or it'd be unbalanced. If people actually spent 750g to refill drums in competitive play, they're sure as hell gonna refill a diffusal way past that, the purge is way too good to be refillable. Alternatively they'd have to remove diffusal 2. Diffusal has gotten enough buffs.

I'm not saying Degen Aura is bad, but it [I]is[/I] hella boring. Add that to a hero that already has an incredibly boring kit (press R to win ult, repel is strong but boring) and you have a hero that is very strong but nobody wants to play for fun.
Degen Aura could be reworked into a new active ability, probably with a slow built into it. It could be made stronger than current aura but at the same time his other spells could be nerfed, so that he would still be strong but not purely because of repel.
If you want Omni to be an action packed and viable hero they need to make him viable in the off lane and make his heal more spammable. There's nothing better than bullying the shit out of a safelaner by healing creeps before he last hits them, but unless the enemy supports are bad you don't get the necessary dominance to do this. He has a higher pub winrate because people might stall winning the game for whatever reason, negating Omni's greatest weakness which is that he needs levels and items to be at his fullest potential.
As a support I doubt Omni will ever be viable, he needs too much xp and gold, on top of being melee. It's also really hard to position his spells without getting interrupted in some way.

upgrading from diffusal 1 to diffusal 2 resets it to 8 charges, but you can't refill your diffusal 2 (except by buying a new one)
Do people here play custom game trash like Dota IMBA?
God, what is up with the games today. Every single game i've played today has been plagued with people abandoning before first blood, and my most recent game, afterwards. And then never coming back. So I have just not been able to get a game going today.
[QUOTE=ROFLBURGER;51098136]Do people here play custom game trash like Dota IMBA?[/QUOTE]
I would love to but the editor still isn't advanced or as easy as say, the StarCraft II map editor. It's pretty hard to make a custom map look good
[QUOTE=ROFLBURGER;51098136]Do people here play custom game trash like Dota IMBA?[/QUOTE]
I play overthrow with the time limit removed with some friends. It's pretty fun.
[QUOTE=ROFLBURGER;51098136]Do people here play custom game trash like Dota IMBA?[/QUOTE]
I play 10v10 a lot. But it's very hard to have a game before it becomes 9v10 5 minutes in, then 6v9 15 minutes in.
It's great fun if you just wanna be a mlg aghs+refresher rubick or 5 damage item clinkz
Could Omni actually be reworked into a core offlaner you think?
and would that actually solve some issues he has?
[QUOTE=unlimi_Ted;51104735]Could Omni actually be reworked into a core offlaner you think?

I don't think much change is necessary to make him an overpowered off laner, a rework would be overdoing it.
If he can get into melee range he will always be able to trade better than the enemy, overwhelmingly so when including the heal as a hp swing, few things can stop him once he's repelled, and he can't be chased by melee heroes. And he can just heal up instead of going back to base.
The problem stems from his inability to get level 3-4 which he needs before he can do anything at all, and his soul ring which he needs before he can actually use the heal, but on top of that his spells get significantly less useful further into the match. He is also extremely awful at laning against ranged carries.
Compare it to Timbersaw, he is also completely useless until he gets his first few levels and soul ring or arcanes, but he scales ridiculously well and becomes a damage powerhouse in the early to mid game while still being respectable in the late game, not to mention the rapid farm speed. Omni on the other hand never goes beyond 360. He is a defensive powerhouse in the early game but diffusals are already up in the mid game, not to mention that his ultimate is difficult to properly utilize against vigilant enemies.
I don't like Omni's merits as a support though. His spells are all really good, but you will never be given the necessary farm on a support to even get/be able to use your spells.
