When is Blademail getting nerfed?

What a shitty OP.

>echo sven

wouldnt you want attack speed?

new set from bisho when

OUR GUYS

What, you would prefer another picture of fucking Envy?

>10-1
>to 10-6

EG basically won. Kills mean nothing if they can't capitalize on shit.

Spaniard is kill

Honestly, I love shitposting while watching EG lose, but a close second to that is seeing the storm of counter-shitposting when EG pulls out a big comeback.

Basically, shitposting on Veeky Forums is pretty sugoi desu

Sven is so kiteable that I find the echo sabre useful for when you finally catch to the opponent and get that 1 single attack. double attack is enough to kill supports if you have ultimate activated with daedalus

>doubting

You got lucky the thread was on it's end

>Arteezy is bad
>Eg can win against tier ?? Team

has bulba done anything this game

he's getting replaced by zai for absolute certainty unless fear retires

...

>the caliphate of yurostan

all the retards that thought EG was actually losing leading up to that shows how bad everyone here is

SHIIIT NIGGA

That random dust on fear was total bullshit.

my arcana...

Blademail is fine, you just need to not be shit at the game and adapt. Just because now it takes some thought, skill and planning to counter the item, it doesn't mean it's OP.

want to fight about it?

>"but le ebin underdog is winning da honeypot~"
-/d2g/

I do so with most teams. MVP are my favorite, either spam "Korean gods" or "Gooks BTFO".
Fuck Kpop spammers, though.

Tell me your plan to counter this item.

Thanks for the arcana sweetie, just another one to add to my collection :^)

You can counter one blade mail, but you can't counter multiple blade mails.

If fear retires it won't really matter, he's such a major part of what makes the team what it is, losing him will be a huge hit to EG.

literal who's given 30 minutes to their best against EG, and get rolled in one fight

>can go through Magic Immunity
>can go through an item that costs 1700 ish more than it
>this is balanced

>When you shit talk all game every game
>Enemies usually get assblasted and always gun for you first
>They lose due to it


Fun shit. If you don't shit talk you arent good

dont attack them. amazing i know. choosing not to do anything to a blademail target is an option.

>choosing

>it's a "we need tanks" meta

>have no map play
>lose
People will blame meme back though

FALSE PROMISE IS A PROMISE UN KEPT

Is it worth upgrading a Stout to a PMS as Timber?

>Every carry rushing the new Orchid item

:)

Fear is truly one of those guys who you wish has good shit happen to them. His life pre dota was irredeemably shit.

Wait.

Did valve really release an update a day before a LAN?

>answering

none of these niggas looked at the graphs and thought that 9 early kills = gg just like their trenchy pubs

hey buddy, if it is so unbalanced why aren't the top 1% of players spamming it and abusing it like the original Glimmer Cape? hmm????

depends on how much right click you're tanking usually yea

>Use BKB
>Do magic damage to target with blademail
>???
>Profit

How about don't get caught out by Axe? Do you think being chain stunned by a smoke gank while you're farming alone like a retard is OP too?

yeah that made no sense

if you cant blink/run away the whole call animation then you dont belong in this game

>shit life
>wastes hit time playing video games instead of doing something about it
why would I root for him?

Valve never cared about honeypot LANs.

>target is etheral

hello newfriend :^)

Valve have released patches DURING lans before stop complaining you piece of shit

P U R E

>Just don't do anything while their carry has free reign on your team for 5 full seconds, waits 7 seconds and then has another 5 full seconds of free reign, repeatedly

good plan Fucko.

>it's a "we need tanks" meta
AND WE'VE COME FULL CIRCLE SINCE TI3

WELCOME BACK, OL' BUDDY

so aghs mirana is the new alch?

I wish Drow was my mom, things would be different around here.

>just ignore him and he'll go away lmao

they were though. the turning point was the smoke that fucked AF. The buybacks to protect rax hurt AF as well. This win will be on the back of fear's courier snipes not because of le ebin midas aghs mirana or bulbo LD

you really must have a double digit iq thinking youre just stanind there while he is blademailed

both of you really. please shut the fuck up.

>Always going to be on useless Mirana rushing aghs on your team now

There are always Dota LANs going on my tomodachi

>dropped to 4.9k
>every game team picks 4 shitty cores instantly because lol i gotta get to 5k
>enemy team does too
>end up as support every time
>suck ass at supporting because it's boring and annoying and lose more mmr
asdfgdoghd

thanks for reading blog

Look, friendo. There are multiple situations in dota where you, as a team, should disengage from a teamfight before going back in. You might have to use the slightest bit of teamwork in this team game. It doesn't make everything you're bad at playing around OP.

>suggest the new aghs on mirana could be used as a battlefury equivalent to farm
>get nothing but smartass meme arrow replies about how I'm a shitter

Who's shitting now?

they weren't losing at all they just secured their lead with that smoke

still more pleasant than pudge mid

>Axe is ethereal
>no one can hit axe
>axe can't spin

Only counter to blademail axe is eblade, a 5k gold item.

So why did EG skip Manila to play in this shitty tier 2 tournament?

>lel I just teleport behind u
kys my man

>Its another "Pudge is in the game" episode

I'm getting tired of this fucker

>Implying icefrog is not a 2.5k faggot

They want reddit to praise them for stomping shitters.

ayesee's casting is kinda montonous but has inflections of excitement peaking through

Be honest here:
Were you expecting anything else?

They'll get an invite to TI anyways so lol who cares.

>

honestly just going to ban mirana so there is a possibility no one plays her

its losing on my team and losing for the enemy, never fun in pubs. they run around 12 minutes in and are lvl4.

retard magnet hero gets even more screen time

same prize pool

>tfw you fell for the Echo sabre on spirit breaker meme

boy 1 attack every 5 seconds for the POSSIBILITY of bashing

what is this

HE CAN'T KEEP GETTING AWAY WITH THIS

>play against the highly regarded tier 1 team "AF"
>shit on his mid
>win
>"ay lamo this hero so op xD"

Peru > Empire > Secret
EG > Greece

Now Greece just has to beat Peru and all will be set right

The golden voice himself

will EG win weplay

Core Earth Shaker

What would you itemise?

he probably put milk and sugar in his coffee

look at all the candy

its called critshaker and has been a build for years
aghs changes nothing cause its shit

This is the UGLIEST green screen shit I've EVER seen.

Aghs into Bloodthorn

I have farmed 6k mmr with this build, trust me

Remember when Aghs upgraded ultimates.
What happened?

What the fuck am I looking at ahahahahahaha

Same shit as core shaker but with an aghs sprinkled in there.

>aghs changes nothing cause its shit

Good joke user

same as critshaker, just get aghs and/or blink ASAP depending on situation

Navi almost lost
MVP struggled
The biggest gold lead AF had in that game was 2000, and that was with a 9 kill lead and tower advantage.

To be quite honest with all of you familias Icefrog should have fused blinkstrike and backstab into one skill (instead of invisibility and backstab) and give invisibility a hp regen component like it used to have

Bam now riki is actually viable and not a meme

>holyshitvideogamesarepathetic.png
and yet here you are

>Mirana Aghs isn't a meme

REV UP THOSE SHITTY PUB MIRANAS TRYING TO BE SUMAIL

>aghs shit
>5 sec cd leap

Do you put your points in stats instead of pounce too?
