I still firmly believe that TA is the least fun hero ever to exist and directly detracts from any enjoyment from picking phase to scoreboard.
[QUOTE=Oicani Gonzales;50238284]not only do they have valve -flaired users on reddit, it's also been PROVEN that at least one valve employee browses /d2g/
it's just that they don't do much posting it seems[/QUOTE]There was also the one time Bruno casted the /d2g/ tournament.

Echo Gondar was pretty fun tbh
[QUOTE=TeamEnternode;50238982]I'd rather use an Ultimate Orb on a Skadi on Medusa, not a fucking Manta..[/QUOTE]
[QUOTE=KillRay;50238987]thats why you get the skadi without upgrading the yasha. i said this[/QUOTE]
Or how about you don't get a Skadi at all?
Would you build a Skadi on GYro?

i love repeating myself
you would get an SnY on gyro since the maim is better on him (keep them close for barage) and he doesnt need int that much
you would get a manta on medusa because she benefits a lot from all 3 stats and shes not as much of a chasing hero, more of an immobile turret in fights
also if ur suggesting not getting a skadi on medusa....
Really wish this game wouldn't match you with people you've recently reported. Had some dude last pick techies and do jack shit. Frustrating, whatever, take 15 minute break. Q up, matched with him again. Ez -50 mmr thanks Valve.
[QUOTE=Yahnich;50242572]if ur implying u go the same build on gyro and medusa even tho the heroes fulfill different roles then lmao[/QUOTE]
There are similarities, in the form of split shot and flak cannon.
However, skadi only gives you 25 damage for like 6000gold. It's a nice tanky item with a nice single target slow, but you can get more damage for that price if you feel it's a better idea in the current game.

You get it on Medusa because it's [B]literally[/B] the best tank item possible.
Medusa isn't about fast burst damage like gyro with flak either, you sit in a long drawn out fight not dying and shooting as much as you can instead of gyros "blow everything and hope you've won or done enough damage for cleanup" style so no its not a good gyro item because of its low damage
Split shot and flak aren't even that similar unless you really take them down to "autos hit many targets", you wouldn't say Sven and wk were the same hero because they both have stuns

and that's why you mute the person you don't want to get matched with again and you check if there's anybody muted on your team while people are loading
queue dodging is the best thing ever and it saves quite a lot of frustration
So with the changes, how would you build offlane void? I suppose vanguard is more viable as an offlaner due to building into abyssal, and echo sabre is good if you wanna autoattack, what about aghs, still worth getting just for the cd reduction?
And lastly, skillbuild, max timewalk first, then timelock and max dilation last?
I think you should look at time dilation leveling based on enemy heroes, if they have someone like Bristleback then you can max Dilation first (or second) and Bristleback basically becomes a completely useless hero in teamfights

Skull Basher doesn't stack with Void bash..
[QUOTE=Bat-shit;50243293]Skull Basher doesn't stack with Void bash..[/QUOTE]
Yes I forgot that, but still, I would get abyssal for the active and not the bash
edit: alright checked dotabuff, seems item build hasn't changed much from 6.86.

queued as a 4stack, lost because the pubbie who instapicked carry didn't keep buyback

gyro's scepter feels absolutely useless. it would have been cooler to have a damage reduced second auto attack that also works with flak.
atleast with the old scepter it could be used to global farming and back door denies.

yeah, sure, blame the odd one out
oh wait it was non-ranked nvm

i'm no fan of blaming the odd-one out in party games, but if you don't keep buyback when they've got tiny, wisp and the ancient is exposed, i will blame you when we lose
especially when i just got out of the game and i'm fucking salty as shit about it
Speaking about that, I think if you queue in as solo, you should be only teamed up with other solo players. No stacks of any kind.
As for their opponets however, either stacks of 2-3-5 or a team of solo opponents like themselves, just based on chance and availability of players in queue.
And then release the info by the end of their fiscal year, because [U]I'm particularly interested in how five solo-players would fare against stacks on average.[/U]
[QUOTE=Clovis;50244013]shouldnt fucking be able to queue as 2 or 3 in ranked either i think its pretty stupid[/QUOTE]
???????????????
what about party mmr then
...And then bring CS:GO-style carrying into Dota
Fuck that.
If that is the case, then why does it happen in CS:GO?
It may be slower but the motives aren't gone.

Can you explain this for someone who doesn't play CS:GO?
[QUOTE=leonthefox;50244950]Can you explain this for someone who doesn't play CS:GO?[/QUOTE]
It's easier to move up ranks in CS:GO so you get a buddy who is higher rank than you to make a smurf account and play along side you and boost your account.
It's also easier for one person to dominate a game in CS:GO imo, but that also depends on the MMR in Dota. It's also easier for someone to play a smurf in ranked because you just need to buy the game and you're good to go. You need to be account level 50 in Dota to get access to ranked.
