Bulldog is currently on a game which sucks a lot too.

Does the quest trick still work? I've just unlocked feminism questline.

STFU AND DONATE TO WAGAGOD

Underlord is pretty good

>LEVEL 6 AXE

WEV LADS

As in, he's on a fucking pro game you mong.

Holy shit pip lord is so much fun especially when you have a boosting arc warden on your team. All he need to have to be completely viable is something to help him tank tower hits, make his passive affect towers from levle 3 for half value or some shit but only for him.

What's the issue

Anyone else has to restart dota after every single game to queue up again?

You don't need to, join a lobby then exit it.

THE BEAST OF ALL WORLDS!

ONE WORLD IS MUCH LIKE ANOTHER

Why does no one buy blink dagger on storm spirit? It's literally free mana.

>Pos 1 Axe

What? Is this a thing? Alliance?

ENDURANCE RUN

I dont understand

becuase you want to deal damage with ulti and you also have only 6 slots

its not horrible but there are more than 6 items that are better

WAIT A MOMENT
ARE YOU TELLING ME PITLORD HAS AN UNCANCELABLE BOOTS OF TRAVEL THAT ALSO WORKS WITH YOUR TEAM?
HOW IS THIS BALANCED?

>First time picking Pit lord in a loooong time, one of my favorite heroes
>do offlane stuff, annoy carry, kill the support when i contest pull and earn damage, get zoned at the beginning but i unzip iron talon and stack the camp near the my offlane
>Lose because my sven has dagger power treads and bkb min 35


>want to play him again, this time getting an aether + crimson guard
>ask teammate if i can go offlane
>no response, he wants offlane
>cant deal with it, leave the game
>5 games low priority
fuck me Pit lord is like a drug I WANT TO PLAY HIM AGAINNNNNN

What's not to understand?
It's a common issue, just joining and leaving a lobby fixes it.

Long cooldown.

Yes, that's his ult and the main reason to pick him.

4 u

SINBAAAAAAAAD THE SAILOR

So does spectre's ult, but this is 10x better than that.

>Underlord Ult is just a tp scroll

WAOW

who tf is this pablo on alliance

BANE?

Is leveling Pit Lord's ult to level 3 even worth it?

With 3 seconds delay instead of 4 seconds you lose the ability to clutch save an ally.
With 4 second delay you can choose a target for your ult (let's say fountain) and then start TPing onto an ally who's getting ganked with BoTs2.
You will appear next to him after 3 seconds and almost immediately get him out to your fountain. This sounds bloated but is actually very easy to execute and your ally only has to survive for 3 seconds. The enemies can't even prevent that save with a stun.

akke is on vacation in hong kong

Long cooldown and kinda long cast delay
His cast delay doesnt matter when you offensive tp

At least in pro games (i assume because we did that when i used to play in a team) they always know when to get out and when to not
>Ok push bla bla
>ok he bought back they are coming, go back everyone
>pit lord activates ult
>even if they have a storm, ember, or any kind of catch they wont kill anyone because lol unstoppable travel back

Or you can teamwipe them and ult into a pushed lane and boom, ez push

Or you can combo him with a hawk or lycan wolf and tp into him to kill a very important core

Nasty stuff in competitive enviorment, but in a pub, pretty difficult to pull off.

>S4
jesus christ

>s4
>vega

So has anyone here actually won a game you wouldn't have won 4vs5 anyway with a Pitlord on your team? It's like all the dumb Alch pickers have switched to playing him as a ricing core now. I've played 8 games since release and each time the team with Pitlord got stomped.

The hero doesn't even do anything in fights before he has 20k networth and all people use the ult for is to TP somewhere to farm more or to escape from ganks. Yes you can do some damage once you're super farmed but why not just pick Sven and don't be a dead weight?

I just don't understand how people come to the conclusion that wasting mid or safelane farm on Underlord isn't game losing. And don't get me started on the shitters that mark offlane, buy an iron talon and fuck off to jungle at level 1.

>playing pit lord as badwisp

>pick pitlord
>loose

nice champion dough tarts

>mid or safelane farm on Underlord isn't game losing
Of course, its like sending jakiro mid or carry.
what bracket are you on?

>won 100% of games with pitlord on my team

being sub 2k is cool sometimes i guess. he just walks up and punches everyone to death

I have not seen the ultimate used to any effect one time yet. Lol. Three different guys confused as fuck when they use it and their entire team doesn't teleport to them

because that would be extra balanced

It's similar to a relocate save, but arguably better. You don't even have to be near the guy you're saying and you don't return and get killed 12 seconds later. You at least need BoTs though, better BoTs2.

How do i get into Earth Spirit ? I tried with bots but i have no idea what's going on

>he didn't watch the TI7 main event

>alliance cheating in fucking wca

how low can they go?

>Envy forming his own team

I want a team with Envy Arteezy and Pieliedie
I want a team that's as anime as possible
They won't win TI, but the memes will be gold

bullshit these pro players crash

I NEVER CRASH ON DOTA 2 ON A SHITTY LAPTOP, HOW CAN THESE PLAYERS CRASH?

CALLING BULLSHIT.

wait wasn't it PPD's gf, what happened ?
MOOOOOOOOO

Pit Lord is not a carry, why would you put him safelane?
He isn't bad, but he shouldn't try to carry.

>THE KEKHOUSE OF ALLIANCE
L O L.

isn't that a sven_activates_ult.webm?

so, baiscally ti6 secret?

>Not donating all your money to based Wagagod.
He's one of us.

But el presidente does not watch anime
And LULba is perpetually stoned

Get used to the turn rate
Practice combo and try to optimize rock usage, now, how do you do that? ask yourself why are you using the skills
>you want to nuke because you know hes gonna die with it? use everything with the same rock, or just everything as fast as possible, doesnt matter. The hero is a storm? an ember? a hero that can escape easily? concentrate on the silence and use it first, the stun can miss. The important thing here is: dont use the skills because you can. You are gonna waste disables, rocks, and probably commit too much for something you are not gonna kill or do something
>Practice and be fast at putting rocks and silence/stun, the most important thing about the hero is how fast he can pull off his things, be unpredictable.
Thats all, just play him and play him. Something i can recommend for newcomers is the double tap, so you can double tap the rock to put it right in front of you, so you can stun and roll more easily. But that makes dependant too much on it and you can easily miss stuff.

Stop.
Waga is a huge cuck, he even got caught fighting with his gf mid-stream because she said she didn't want to keep fucking black men while he watched. Waga went crazy on her, even threatened to kick her out.

>tiny casts avalanche on antimage.jpg

>no new Sheevers

what was this mafia event even good for?

So I've been playing this glorious motherfucker quite a bit recently but I can't seem to deal with the early-mid game area where all you have is an armlet and maybe an echo sabre and after every fight I have to base thanks to low hp + no sustain.

Also barring any items needed to counter certain heroes my usual build goes
>Armlet
>Echo Sabre/BKB (Depending on the situation I build one first then the other second)
>Manta/Heart (Same as the last one)

please help this shitter git gud

but why won't Bluto ever eat spinach himself ?
damn i remember watching that scene on tv

Jorien Van Der Juden

xD

Cuck!

:^)

youre aware that arteezy actually watches anime ironically?

Does Echo Sabre proc on Illusions?

thanks, what about quickcast ? I have yet to use it to this day

I would actually put him in a similar hole to spectre, except he reduces way more physical damage and can farm way better. Radiance manta(maybe octarine) is great on him since he gains damage from illusion cs as well.

He can initiate ok, but you're not really utilizing the full potential if you don't build him up some.

Of course this will probably change with patches.

armlet and echo sabre should give you enough regen

And yes, thats the thing with CK, he has low mana pool. Just deal with it. he still wins you the TF and crushes the enemy

>you can give nigress lips to a white girl and looks gorgeous: twitch.tv - adobe

What's drow's problem then? I don't understand

>implying based wagagod would ever do something like that.
He's literally the best player in the world right now.

Waga is so fucking annoying. The forsen of Dota 2.

>read a guide on d2g
>it actually works

you guys are useful
>just for now

Never tried Quickcast and i dont think i ever will
Double tap is ok, but quick cast makes you a literal robot. One thing about earth is that you can make fun stuff, you dont have just a stun, or just a silence, you have optins. And quickcast close that doors and makes it just a stun
Just practice him the old way. Its just practice. He's just that kind of hero that you wont do very well at the beginning but if you practice you can be really good at, like Storm or something.

wand
tread switch
echo
should give enough mana once you have levels

What was the guide?

Mate, Spectre is one of the hardest carries in the game, a 6slotted Spectre could probably solo a team of five 6slotted Pit Lords.

Why do I always have to restart the game after a match to queue, it won't let me otherwise

Spectre is mobile, has pure damage, is tankier, also be always in the battle because of haunt

because you touch yourself at night

>Base due to no sustain
Oh shit nigger where is your HOTD?

>pick Pitlord with Spectre
>Spec literally takes no damage

Bluto has eaten spinach a few times, he just doesn't like it.

Add a venge who died
and crimson guard
good luck with the right clicks
