Why the fuck does anyone even play this game anymore when you just lose every fucking game with nothing you can do and theres still no reliable bans if you dont want to play fucking autists mode.
Andrew Hughes
>Ritsu to optic Doubt this very much
Asher Fisher
Starting boots are very situational on NS for obvious reasons; stacking Mangos is also viable on him because he's a mana vacuum early game and has built in regen to combine it with. Slardar will want boots whenever it's safe to do so, which is usually the third case here.

Gavin Butler
Is mid omniknight viable? He can repel off annoying shit, like shadow strike, chains, flameguard. If someone tries to gank him he can just repel and run away.
Adrian Bailey
Not only viable but he's ridiculously OP right now.
Ethan Russell
>ET stout always >slardar you can get away with boots in (3) >ns boots from sideshop, you need lots of regen so you can hit level 2/3 +boots by first night offlaners you start with boots generally either have summons like furion so you don't need to tank as hard, or survive better with mobility than tankiness like ench
Camden Barnes
Yes omniknight can solo lane against majority of heroes pretty well, he's got more mana and always had good survivability.

a mid hero should basically be able to do a lot more than run away

obviously something isn't quite working on optic they have too many games where they have a 'meta draft' and end up getting crushed by a less-meta draft on the other team -- it'll be like 6-25 at 30 minutes or some shit and optic has to just dodge fights and eventually lose the other half of the time they play fine and have a competitive game they have been looking better recently, pajkatt has improved and isn't failing every other game like he used to i don't think CCnC misery or zai or the problem i think ppd's drafts and shot calling in game is the most glaring issue also CCnC gets caught out farming greedily too often; he needs to be more cautious zai and pcat also make questionable decisions / odd moves and initiations that end poorly the biggest factor needs to be an improvement in ppd's drafting and in game leading
Elijah Flores

Spirit Vessel needs a moderate nerf, urn didn't need the buff and it should be a situational pickup if you need the %regen effect Nullifier needs a minor buff, probably shouldnt require a relic Meteor Hammer is shit and needs a partial rework Aeon Disk is shit but should remain shit
>Aeon Disk is shit but should remain shit 1k everyone
Juan Jenkins
Sure, it can work, gl against sniper or any other physical hard scaling mid tho
Luke Stewart
Loli heroes when?
Lucas Mitchell
agree, ppd is a pretty big weight on this team the other factor is that his teammates have no ability to play without him. put a pubstar like rtz or miracle on a tier 3 team and they'll elevate the team to tier 2 even if their captain is shit. But pajkatt and ccnc don't know how to make decisions - they need peter to guide them, tell them where to farm and when to fight, and he isn't doing that. misery and zai are both doing pretty well but they can't put the team on their backs another thing is that they seem to almost enjoy losing the laning phase. Not that they want to necessarily, but a lot of times their game plan seems to be "tank x lane and try to make up for it in the mid game". That doesn't work, partially because of the patch and partially because it's a stupid plan if you're not getting a huge advantage in return somewhere else. They did it during king's cup and it looked viable because of the meta at that time, but the game's gotten way more aggressive since then, it's easier to break highground, and now teams can close games in thirty minutes. IMO peter should try playing some more aggressive supports and start two-manning around the map with misery. Not that that should be their playstyle every game, but understanding how and why to play aggressive like liquid or immortals will be a huge boon in shutting down and counterplaying that kind of strategy, which is usually what kills optic. t. shitter rank couch coach

if you did not get compressed then the system judged by your stats that you were right where you belonged (compression included in that judgment)
the 7-10k mmr memes are an aberration that only exist when you apply the mmr system to a team game - mmr being that high has no meaning in relation to someones skill compared to the next skilled person just below them
hopefully i shouldnt need to go into more detail than that as to why

>if you did not get compressed then the system judged by your stats that you were right where you belonged (compression included in that judgment)
kind of a ridiculous concept to calibrate someone based on 10 games in the first place
if you're playing roles like offlane or support then you're going to have a much weaker impact on the game than someone who spams mid or carry. the mid & carry is going to throw or carry games for his team just about every game, whereas offlanes and supports get carried or lose regardless of doing well
i won 5/10 of my placements and 2 of my losses were due to people throwing at minute 0 because they didn't get the role they wanted so that's a factor too
