[I know some people got it for pushing, is it still worth getting it for that?[/QUOTE]
If you're talking about 5 man pushing, id' prefer a cuirass over manta. But if we're talking about BoT rat pushing then I guess manta could be usefull.
[QUOTE=Quq;50299674]i think it's a good way to deal with silences, but it's definitely not an item you should buy every game[/QUOTE]
so is bkb and you get to avoid most stuns that way.
[QUOTE=Noobaxe;50299413]I mean the spins are pure dmg now[/QUOTE]
The spins did full damage even when they were physical damage, the ilusions only get nerfed right clicks
Arteezy the team destroyer, he's honestly overrated IMO.
I wanted to bet on Newbee winning the Epicenter but wasn't able to do it on time, the odds were like 5.5 too.

Also I'm happy for OG doing so well, NoTail is shit on "true carry" heroes but he plays utility ones (esp. the ones based on vision) great.
Honestly now that vanguard works on illusions, manta axe *could* be used to push out lanes and farm jungle pretty well. I'm not saying it's a good way to spend your money but you could probably farm quite fast with that setup. Taking that much farm away from your team for an axe is probably wasteful tho.

Got it, rushing manta then radiance
~7k gold for farming sounds incredibly wasteful and useless
Ugh fucking Dota2Lounge didn't register my bet, I had like 10$ on VP and the payout was ~30$
[QUOTE=ASIC;50298376]What items are you supposed to build on medusa?[/QUOTE]
Three HP items and two rapiers.
Woah did VP lose
Kinda surprising since G played so well today, I didn't watch the games but I assume fng shat the bed
[QUOTE=Noobaxe;50299405]Could you build manta on axe?[/QUOTE]
This actually could work really well on him since illusions have Counter Helix too. I'm pretty sure I've killed people with only a illusion from a rune. :v:
Except it's stupid as fuck to spend so much money for stupid gimmick when for that money you could have blink + blademail which probably have an even easier buildup or if you have those 2 you're better off just buying Shiva's/heart.
Hey, was wondering, which is better for Pudge? Blink or Force Staff? I've been looking to git gud as him but I can never really decide on which to build.
That EGM jakiro aghs was fuckin hilarious vs complexity.

Blink, blink in and devour them, after it's end hook instantly for additional 360 pure damage.

So how do you guys think I am doing? Is there something that I should be doing or something I shouldn't?
I have been playing a [i]lot[/i] of Phoenix lately, and I have totally fallen in love with the hero.
consider picking up a shivas before aghs the passive + active is really useful in fights
[editline]11th May 2016[/editline]
you don't want to go straight for big items like aghs/refresher, shivas or an atos will help a lot
unless at that mmr range nobody fights till like 40+ minutes

Never knew Shiva's had a passive
I'll try it tomorrow
But the reason I go for Aghs first is because I often have games where the extra 3 hits to my ult saves my ass countless times
shiva's is a much better phoenix item than everything you have been buying. midas is really good too
[quote]Friend: How the fuck does lina's ult go through bkb
xx-Brass-xx: It's Pure damage.
xx-Brass-xx: Has been for a long time now.
Friend: Shouldn't be able to cast spells on the target
Friend: or is it like BH's tracl
Friend: track
xx-Brass-xx: It's a Pure damage ability. BKB only blocks magic.
Friend: Bothersome
xx-Brass-xx: Serious question: how do you not know that?
xx-Brass-xx: It's been like that since 2014.
xx-Brass-xx: And Lina isn't even in vogue anymore.
Friend: thought her shit was magic
Friend: If someone pops bkb, I don't bother with a spell in their direction
Friend: At all.[/quote]
This is why I just don't play Dota with some people.
only pure with aghs ofc
[QUOTE=Yahnich;50303860]first item shiva's impact is significant enough where over the duration of your ult you can probably save on 3-5 hits depending on the amount of people hitting your egg, removing a hyperstone from the enemy's pretty big at 20-30min of the game[/QUOTE]
I understand that. Like I said, I had no clue Shiva's had a passive and will try it when I get home
FIRE AND ICE COMBOOOOOOOOOOO
Damnit, i was gonna bet on OG to win against newbee, but i had to walk home, and now it's too late
Based OG
Why can't i bet, it just keeps removing my bet while i wait for the offer.
[editline]12th May 2016[/editline]
Cause newbee is gonna win game 2, and then OG gets stomped in game 3, but makes an amazing comeback, calling it now
Why do they keep picking non-utlity heroes on NoTail when he's so shit on them
Wait, when did n0tail went back to n0tail from BigDaddy?
OG deserved that game 3 win
[QUOTE=Arbys Watcher;50302095]Hey, was wondering, which is better for Pudge? Blink or Force Staff? I've been looking to git gud as him but I can never really decide on which to build.[/QUOTE]
For me Blink is the standard issue while I may take Force instead if the situation calls for it (they have lots of stuff to break blink, you need to escape from something, etc).
[QUOTE=TeamEnternode;50305836]I understand that. Like I said, I had no clue Shiva's had a passive and will try it when I get home

How do you have 1200 hours in dota 2 and not know shiva's has a passive? Like how's that even possible? It's mainly picked up for the passive.
Elitist pricks. Shiva's has a passive oh my god oh my god how do you not know that.
I have more hours than him and recently learned that if you track a Timbersaw and he bloodstone denies, you still get the bonus gold.
Maybe people would understand the game mechanics better if IceFraud didn't keep changing every fucking thing for the sake of changing it.
Void's an offlaner now hurr durr. Why? WHY?
I'm pretty sure Shivas also has extremely strong stats and an extremely strong active (especially combined with items like blink and spells like Icarus Dive or Illusory Orb etc.)
