Dota 2 General - /d2g/

attacker going through notes atm

We need that positive mental attitude.

ok guys, theory crafting a lich mid build here. what do you think of this?

skill build: E Q E Q E R Q E Q E R
item build: start with tangos, two iron branches
mana boots > mek > deso > aghs

feedback pls

>tfw you're playing support and your nice carry gives you the Tome

Bounty Hunter tracks a target.

TA uses her hurricane pike on them. Blink away and meld 4 times from wherever the fuck you want. Thing is hurricane pike might actually be legit on TA over blink now because of the force staff. The extra attack range is not bad on her anyways.

invoker will still be cancer this patch, mark my words

You forgot wyvern OF ETERNAL ARTIC

Hey cuck I'm the new carry around here NOW LICK MY FEET CLEAN AND STACK THOSE CAMPS.

>Silver Edge, Basher, Echo Sabre Doom
>Instagibbing cores from stealth, running so fast with my scorched lace that they can't stop me even if they reveal me
>controlling the fuck out of two heroes in a teamfight

>meme scepter of filler upgrades

you forgot sand king, magnus, drow, bristleback, LC, storm spirit, sf, tinker, winter wyvern, and AYY LMAORACLE. all these are fucking "lol let me add an scepter upgrade just because"

>Blink away and meld 4 times
>hurricane pike might actually be legit on TA over blink now

Would pick her up again. I wonder though if an aghs-moonshard would be too expensive

ok m8

I guess this pasta is completely deprecated as well.

Might as well bury it.

I told you shitters.

Having a major LAN event like this during this week 100% nullified any chances of a patch coming out.

Valvo only cares about the money, therefor it's of their interest that this ESL LAN goes well without any issues so that they can cash in, instead of risking this shit by releasing a huge content patch one day before.

You're going to be lucky if there's any patch at all by the end of this month.

Fucking shitstains, man. Every time it's always the same fucking shit.

When are you mongoloids finally going to start listening to what I say? Jesus fucking Christ, get a fucking clue.

Is skywrath a potential meme

yeah cuz they DIDN'T FUCKING NERF EXORT

THEY NERFED QUAS-WEX WHICH DIDN'T NEED TO BE NERFED

What heroes can you build armlet on now

>be Axe
>blink pop taunt+blademail and let it rip for pure damage.
>dunk your frozen ass and 720 away.

Forge spirits have shit HP now, they do as much dmg but die extremely fast.

Spectre

Will offlane solo earthshaker be viable now?

What's going to be the memebuild for him?
Other than obviously scepter and aether lense as core.
Tranquils and soul ring?

Think the Echo Sabre will be good on him?

>Patchu is live

Give me your best 6.87 FREE MMR build /d2g/

echo saber is shit

It doesn't repeat enchant totem.

seek help, sexually fetishizing a video game dragon is a sign your mental health is an issue!

Sabre does nothing for shaker user why are you so stupid
Theorycrafting is a joy when I do it with anyone other than you

tiny with blink echo sabre = instagib

>enemy picks Storm Spirit
>have PTSD flashback

Axe + blademail

Post more

2-0-3-1

Veil Phase Dominator as your core

>mek
Lel, get a pipe

"the previous meta" != balance

any chance you have that image except without the top of her horn clipped off

armlet echo doom

Bloodthorne
Aghs
Refresher

Same as always.
All of them.

Is this Pure Counter Helix as ridiculous as it sound

Terrorblade middle!

is 1000 pure AOE damage in 1 second as ridiculous as it sounds?

axe was overbuffed, expect a 6.87b to fix this

You definitely want null tangoes to start, since you have no harass at level one, you're gonna want to get some damage to trade decently and farm
I think an orchid based build makes sense on him

Winter just came

...

Is there any attacks that really benefit from echo sabre's shitty double attack?

It really doesnt seem like it does much good given how long the cd is.

>ECHO SABER RIKI
>ECHO SABER RIKI
>ECHO SABER RIKI

wind lace + echo + desolator + new abyssal

CARRY Abaddon.

Trust me on this, I'm a professional.

YOU DONT EVEN NEED AN ALCHEMIST LOL
YOU CAN JUST STASH THE AGHANIMS

I am looking forward to axe reclaiming his rightful throne of as king of shitter destroying.

Crits and pure damage.

literally anyone with a 0 cooldown rightclick amp

I think the best thing about the patch is the faggots who leave thinking its the worst patch ever.
I'd rather play with a peruvian than have the utter shame of interacting with manchildren scum who think adding in a few meme items and adding a few meme aghs is the worst shit that could ever happen.
And the funniest part is they literally cant stop themselves from revealing their shit taste when they talk about their departure. Countless addendums of "its too LoL" and "im switching over to Overwatch" Brings a chuckle to my mouth reading posts of people who took the absolute madman meme seriously and think its some kind of revolutionary change to the game and its unplayable shit when they add in irrelevant early game shit like +20 movepseed and -2 armor thats nullified by the UNTOUCHED MEMEBACK MECHANICS and 7500 gold items NO ONE will buy

Earthshaker is legit.

Yeah it's pretty fucking ridiculous. Then again Axe is my number 2 so I'm loving it.

now this is madman

MID
VISAGE

Hi im peruvian, wanna play?

You know how certain heroes can just destroy you if they blink on you and get a first hit bash or crit? Those guys. Also should be p good on sven.

step aside dudester

Frosty, baby.

>playing morph support
>am lvl 8 at 20 min
>mid says "you should buy tome for XP, you need it"

little does he fucking know huh

>new drums
>tranquils

Yeah, KILL URSELF, SHITTER.

>tfw this annoying faggot won't be spammed in imba anymore

So the echo attack is essentially a high attack speed boost for people with shit attack speed. In terms of stats, the sabre is best for people who need mana.

Is this the item Elder Titan has been looking for?

sorry dudester but I can sense the pulse of the game better than you

>treads silver edge sny meta

gg

gives sven 2 more attacks

Will we finally see more of Elder?

Because next to Visage, he's getting more attention

lol idk if all these changes mean shit, you still got rubberbanding.

silver edge is going to get a nerf within the weeks end

Here's my two cents on the new items (this is your cue to hide the blogpost):

>Bloodthorn
It's basically a buff to all the heroes that built Orchid.
>Echo Sabre
Since it has a 5-second cooldown, it's pretty bad, especially since the buildup includes Oblivion Staff, which most rightclickers don't care about.
>Blight Stone
Laning AIDs
>Infused Raindrop
Anti-gank AIDs
>Wind Lace
It's useful if you're building Eul's, since Drums are *even worse* now. Not really worthwhile otherwise since it doesn't build into anything else.
>Tome of Knowledge
Why are my camps unstacked, cucky?
>Hurricane Pike
Enchantress core item, Sniper's newest meme.

echo sabre seems cool on Tiny but he's so starved for slots

>can sense the pulse of the game better than you

No fucking way, monglord.

I told you, I'm a professional.

quick guys whats the new tempo controlling mid that can allow me to reach my win condition by allowing my carry to have a better gold injection?

>ET OF ALL THINGS
ARE YOU FUCKING RETARDED
DO YOU REALIZE HOW BROKEN THIS SHIT IS ON URSA/SVEN/SB???¿!??11

Nth for holy shit Echo Saber is retarded.
>can kill towers through backdoor protection with just echo, treads, and aghs

its even better on tiny and slark than them.

ALRIGHT FAMALAM IS STORM SPIRIT BACK?

>BLOODSTONE 12 CHARGES
>ORCHID UPGRADE
>AGHANIM'S...

ok i think not.

ursa doesnt need echo, he has empower. also he doesnt need the stats over other items. space cow though oh shit

REAL MMR WINNING NOT MEME STORM SPIRIT BUILD
Bottle
Soul Ring
Treads
Orchid (GO FOR THIS IF YOU'RE A GOOD PLAYER AND HAVE A GOOD LEAD, SWITCH ORDER WITH BLOODSTONE IF NOT BUT STILL PICK IT UP)
Bloodstone
Shiva's
ARE BKBS STARTING TO GET USED TO RUN AWAY FROM YOUR ORCHID GANKS?
Finish Bloodthorn
Wait until BKBs are lower in duration
ARE THEIR SUPPORTS AND OFFLANER THE KIND OF HERO THAT WOULD NORMALLY BUY A BKB?
>Yes
Hex, try to finish the target off before they can use it
>No
Aghs, try to disrupt team fights with le balanced blackhole, remember that it does not make you invulnerable, any support not caught in it can just turn around and disable your ass, which brings us to
>Should I buy a Linkens?
Situational as always. If you're the only one on your team that isn't feeding, a BKB should be better 90% of the time.

Isn't echo sabre good on pretty much every strength hero?

Aghs would mean more cliff trapping

CARRY WYVERN
A
R
R
Y

SCEPTER + BLOODTHORN + DESO + HURRICANE PIKE + RAPIRA + MOONSHARD

Friendly reminder that Abyssal Blade is a support item.

>Racking up Bloodstone charges as soon as possible is not important
Literally 90% of games you want to build Soul Ring/Arcanes to build into Bloodstone as soon as possible. Orchid is amazing on Storm but getting your Bloodstone as maxed as possible is even more important.

why would any hero build anything other than bloodthorn? and then more bloodthorns

D-Did you guys like what I upgraded this patch?

>Adds a Side Gunner, fires an attack automatically at random enemy units within 600 AoE every 1.4 seconds.

>Same firing rules as Rocket Barrage [?], but does not attack while invisible and is disabled by Break.
this is by far teh most gimicky patch ever introduced, kek
>potm aghs
>gyro aghs
>scan rofl

Yes

>Mirana
>Gyro
What the fuck m8. Shit makes no fuckin sense, yo.

This item. This item right here. This is going to be nerfed into the fucking ground.
