I've always wanted to be Tresdin's squire. I always enjoy fantasizing about entering the fountain with her after a long battle and slowly removing her armor, starting at the helmet and making my way down to her boots. The embarrassment I feel doing this in front of other female heroes only adds to the allure of the situation. She sits down on a stool and commands me to kneel down and remove her boots one at a time. "Is that a boner?" Rylai says. Akasha licks her lips, Rylai giggles, and Shendelzare glares at me. I try to cover it up out of embarrassment, but Tresdin kicks my hands away. "You haven't finished yet." I don't understand because I had already removed her armor, but after she gives me a look I realize that she wants me to remove her shoes as well. I take off her shoes and reveal her gorgeous feet, surprisingly soft despite her being a strong warrior, and extremely sweaty. "Lick the sweat off my feet, squire," she commands me. I hesitate for a moment and look over to the other girls. They all start giggling at me and whispering. Then I feel Tresdin's foot forced into my mouth with the other one covering my nose. The smell and taste of her sweaty feet causes my raging boner to grow even more. "Alright, squire, stand up and remove your clothes." Although embarrassed, I take all my clothes off. Suddenly I feel my position swapped with that of Shendelzare. Suddenly I'm lying beneath Akasha and Rylai, who had both taken their boots off, and were pressing their feet against my member. "No," Tresdin said, "He's mine." She runs over and gets on top of me. It's only now that I realize that she's holding Aghanim's Scepter, and I understand that nobody will be able to interfere with us. Her technique gets more and more intense until I am unable to hold back. I cum inside her pussy with the force of a hundred megacreeps. She gets off of me, and as I lay there quivering in pleasure she gets dressed and begins to chuckle. "Only 9 inches? Pathetic."

guys grant's gonna start streaming soon

if i take a second to do anything then how did i dodge this stun with only like 200ms delay

Akke seems like such a nice guy. Like the kind of guy who would be your wing man and take the ugly girl even though he's better looking than you. The kind of guy who would carry all the heavy stuff when helping you move. Just an all round nice kind of guy. I really hope he does well.

Honestly AF would be such a good team if they got rid of Thug.

It's the 4th of July boys.

Post THE webm. You know which one.

>Loda's face

yes i accidentally used manta at the exact right time to accidentally disjoint it thats clearly what happened

they're all very inconsistent desu they're taking turns at being shit
thug just happens to have several signature heroes which are out of the meta but he's very capable

You need to understand that it's people like you that make people assume most people on Veeky Forums are actually mentally handicapped

I am not arguing about the actual item itself, I am saying that when you literally only have a skadi and a linkens 40 mins into the game, that might not be a good thing.

why is this so cringe

>paying attention to the oscars
>EVER

>You need to understand that it's people like you that make people assume most people on Veeky Forums are actually mentally handicapped

If that sentence was any more tortured it would be a war crime

what is this?

Why do people pay 4100 gold to downgrade a 117 mana per second item into a 12 mana per second item?

Rape survivors at the last oscar ceremony

fetishization of the victim and the celebration of weakness

We have THE BEST shitposting

the overuse of people is obnoxious, but it's really not that hard to follow

lady gaga's oscar performance iirc

you can use manta anytime during the time the projectile is traveling to disjoint it

thats what disjointable means you fucking retard

>Rape survivors
>people still call it 'surviving' rape

respawn time

manapool size

item slots

you can just buy another soulring

snowball potential

You retard. Manta dodging is using the 0.1s iFrames to avoid a non-disjointable effect. Like Era manta dodging glimpse, or avoiding a laguna blade with mirror image. You didn't dodge shit

>Madara Sven
Ok, there is NO WAY to AF to lose this game.

Riki can't farm conventionally so his income is entirely reliant on taking good fights and farming lanes where he's incredibly vulnerable to ganks

Furthermore riki is almost always now played as a pos 4 roamer who transitions into core through ganking so expecting him to perform on the level of a safelane farmer is ridiculous and yet something I see constantly

Without the match ID its all heresay from an unreliable narrator but I'm willing to bet the riki wasn't the problem here, it was the knowitall redditor who wouldn't shut the fuck up

yeah i mean he was so good at the end of the qualifiers

>direkte
fuck off kraut

I can't give you the match ID because it was a 10v10 custom game

:^))))))))))))))))))))))

>play 5 games today
>someone abandoned half way in every single one of them

what the fuck is going on? did i get put in low prio without knowing it?

>respawn time

Not worth 4100 gold

>slots

you don't cap out on slots w/tinker until lategame, at which point bloodstone becomes irrelevant mana-wise since you have lv3 rearm

>you can just buy another soulring

Or you know, not lose it in the first place?

>snowball

which totally doesn't come with dagon 5, sheep, euls, shiva or any other item you might want? fucking hell.

Bloodstone tinker players should seriously consider suicide - which ironically is the only use of that shit item on that shit hero.

DAILY REMINDER THAT BLOODSTONE IS VIABLE ONLY ON:

>STORM
>LESH
>TIMBER
>LINA
>____dusa_____

That's okay fampai I wouldn't have watched it anyway

>respawn time

>manapool size
mana pool size is secondary to Rearmable Actives Which Grant Mana (Sacrifice of Soul Ring, Mend of Guardian Greaves)
>item slots
how is making an item 9.75 times less effective item slot efficient?
>you can just buy another soulring
nice job spending your 4100 gold then
>snowball potential
Show me a match that didn't end before one team got 105 kills that isn't 10v10.

>breast cancer awareness week

yes, i did dodge it, because it would have hit me during the time that i manta'd

it doesn't matter if it's disjointable or not, it was still dodged with the correct timing, true fact.

>dagon
>buying the memebackbait the item on tinker
"Two of my abilities do exclusively one thing, deal damage, and the third does damage and grants 100% miss chance on outgoing attacks. I know, I'll build MORE damage!"

wiki.teamliquid.net/dota2/Manta_Style

Read the wiki you 3k cockmongler. Dodging =/= disjointing

youre missing the point

if it were a non disjointable projectile i still would've disjointed it because the timing was correct, that is the point

showing skill where it wasnt necessary is called "flexing", I flexed on that WK.

It has nothing to do with the fact that I don't remember which projectiles are disjointable and not ;^^^^^^^^))))))))

honestly tho i bet a lot of pros are missing huge gaps in their knowledge of that

When will you autists realize that nobody fucking cares what you've learned about dota from Purge's channel, especially when you're playing like shit the whole time
Get a friend or something

So you don't even know how manta disjointing works, interesting

flex THIS

>dusa
just another reason to disregard your 2k theorycrafting

of course i know how manta disjointing works go ahead and list 3 non disjointable projectiles, go ahead. i know you're auto refreshing so if your post is more than ~30 seconds behind my post you looked it up

lmao

>queue time 22:30

yeah in fact 17 posters couldn't name more than 1 non disjointable projectile in 5 minutes since i posted

point proven

its ok

Skywrath Q, unstable concoction, necro Q, paralyzing cask, sven stun (I think)

Dude just stop digging yourself into a deeper and deeper hole

how the fuck did he do that?

youtube.com/watch?v=oqQgcKmkqqc

this is incredibly satisfying to watch

why the fuck would you like mobas
wtf
it's such a shitty genre

>point proven
I actually doubt you graduated middle school*
a middle schooler has better logic than that

ok you 2k retards I'll go into more depth

Tinker is snowball core which is why bloodstone is so important on him. Since he cannot carry in a traditional sense and he can't hit buildings it's extremely important that he is alive for all fights. Being able to save your buyback on tinker is huge because again as a core he's reliant on winning teamfights entirely so his team can push.

>Do you plan on dying
That's a stupid argument and way to think of dota. Tinker should play to WIN not trying not to die. Sometimes you have to take risks to win dota.

>slots
Tinker is a slot whore, once he's past the 20min mark he should always have a full inventory. If your tinker has a soulring in fights at the 40min mark then you've already lost. You have to remember that the downside of soulring is that it costs HP, early game this isn't an issue because tinker has infinite bottle charges. As the game progresses tinker replaces his bottle and the constant HP removal is a risk. Also you don't buy another soulring so you can take it to fights, you buy it so you can stash all your items in base and then soulring and regen faster or to farm a bit faster in the jungle. You don't take it to fights

looks like a bug
did he change his hero during selecion?

>Tinker is snowball core
Already wrong. Tinker peaks off at level 9.

good argument glad I wasted my time trying to talk to you

No problem, now I don't have to talk to a guy that thinks a 12 mana per second item is better than a 117 mana/s one

Jesus christ this is horrifying

sven stun was changed to be disjointable
also you forgot the meme ones snowball and lifebreak

Undisjointable projectiles
The following abilities are not disjointable, which means that attempting to disjoint those abilities does not cause their projectiles to lose track of the target. When their target turns invisible, they are still fully affected.

Alchemist - Unstable Concoction
Gyrocopter - Homing Missile
Huskar - Life Break
Leshrac - Lightning Storm
Lich - Chain Frost
Lina - Laguna Blade
Lion - Finger of Death
Medusa - Mystic Snake
Mirana - Starstorm
Necrophos - Death Pulse
Queen of Pain - Scream of Pain
Rubick - Spell Steal
Skywrath Mage - Arcane Bolt
Spectre - Spectral Dagger
Tiny - Toss
Treant Protector - Leech Seed
Tusk - Snowball
Visage - Soul Assumption
Winter Wyvern - Splinter Blast
Witch Doctor - Paralyzing Cask

a lot of these are obvious. interesting to see the list though

Toss being non disjointable can have a very interesting effect: If you get tossed and die in midair and immediately buyback, you will land on the ground where you were thrown with fountain regen active

i feel like there should be more, non disjointable shit is almost as valuable as BKB piercing shit

>>Huskar - Life Break
Uh, when you move more than a certain distance away from him it cancels life break though?

What if Assassinate was no longer disjointable?

Would Sniper be viable then?

that's not a disjoint it is a particular built in hardcoded effect of the spell, same with shit like omnislash

Literally born to have children and have sex

nah
i asked him at the end of the game how he did it and he just replied 'abuse'

dota is a shit game

exceptions to exceptions :^)

welcome to doturd where nothing makes any sense

Apologize.
Now.

>lightning storm
how is it a projectile in the first place
i thought it's arc lightning derivative with changed visuals
>Rubick - Spell Steal
i remember one time blinking away right after spellstealing something and the projectile didn't follow my rubdick but went to the place he last was at like a disjointed projectile and gave me the spell when the projectile expired
that's a special interaction, not behavior of regular projectiles

So THICC

Okay you mouthbreathing mong. What exactly do you want to build on tinker?

The progression is:

Null + regen
Soul ring
BoT
Blink/Euls (both, situationally)

That's your core for 20-25 mins. Slots are going to be: BoTs, SR, Blink, Euls.

Then you open up options for a 5th slot:
>dagon if stomping/against squishies like TB or
PA
>shivas if against 4+ melee
>agha if playing from behind and need to spam rockets from HG

Last item is almost always sheepstick, filling out all 6 slots. At this point, BoTs II or selling SR for another mana item becomes a possibility - once tinker has sheep he has enough mana to safely ditch soul ring.

NEVER

NEVER

NEVER

Is bloodstone better than any of these items. Never forget that IF YOU BLINK IN YOU DIE. A stray finger? Dead. A random mirana arrow? Dead as dead. Storm? Ur fucken dead kiddo.

>Tinker should play to WIN not trying not to die

What part of IF YOU BLINK IN YOU DIE is not clear to you?

The most you can deviate is not going euls, but rather aether lens - that's really down to personal preference, but I find that infinite CC at the 25 minute mark is absurdly strong. Just continuously lifting a core while shitting out rockets is super strong.

?

>PSG shitflinging argument leads to d2g becoming better and more knowledgable at dota

every time. this is why i'm your guy and anime has to GO. Here's a rare webm: the easiest rampage that ever happened

>welcome to doturd where nothing makes any sense
if you didn't play WC3 maybe

How do we fix Ursa?

>euls tinker

lol don't even know if this is a serious post or not

they have a note saying lightning storm is on the list because like finger and laguna blade there's a tiny delay between selecting the target and the spell hitting even though it's a non-projectile spell

you can't disjoint during that tiny window even. they're just making that point

>pa throws a 1000 damage dagger, blinks, bashes, crits 2 more times
>miss 4/6 times

how is that allowed?

>>shivas if against 4+ melee
Shivas is rendered obsolete by Lotus Orb.

>teammate picks sniper
>I go support bloodseeker
>gank his lane often to ensure he has freefarm
>spend the entire game acting as the sniper's spotter and bodyguard
>keep him bloodraged in fights, rupture anyone who goes on him and use my force staff to eject him out of harm's way

ez game

You missed spark wraith m8

I-I-I was just pretending to be retarded...

KYS

viable against omni

not a projectile, just the visual effect of one

maybe it should be on the list though

>rearmable phase shift blink
>bad
>ever

Look up sumail tinker games - he loves euls, and it wrecks face. Of course you don't build it against alch, DS or shit like that which can interrupt your euls+blink combo, but it's solid in 80% of games

can 2ks stop giving advice on dota

oh god he was serious rofl

excuse you, we're actually 4k hero spammers with a very narrow understanding of dota

What if there was an item that could purge enemies (or even allies maybe) but for int heroes, such as supports, and it wouldn't be tied to 7/14 charges max
perhaps it could take the form of some kind of rod, and it could give health and some intelligence

Bloodstone is bad because Soul Ring does it's job better because TINKER HAS THE MOTHERFUCKING REARM.
You need to have space of 12 and a half seconds between rearms and subsequent Sacrifices (the sr active name) for the bloodstone to make the same mana gain, and Tinker doesn't fucking wait, he rearms and spams spells until he runs dry then spends the refractory period dipping his gnome dick in the fountain.
