what boots do i build on cockwerk

I WANT TO SUCK ON VROGROS' SMELLY ABYSSAL CLOACA!

tiny hard counter jugg eh. kept getting tossed back when EE starts to spin.

When should you buy a casual quelling blade, or buy a talon on a non-jungler?

Tranquils

Phase if you're given the space to farm mid-game.
Tranquils if the team relies on you to roam early and constantly.
Treads if you need to initiate early teamfights.
Mana boots if your supports are shit.
Travels if you're 9k MMR.

Just to be sure, these "gay" memesters are just memeing right?

>Get burnt out and take a break
>Give solo queue another shot

>Either way we have a good lead

>Team screaming at Underlord to teleport them to me

>Instead of defending the ancient or grouping everyone is either farming near where the T2 towers were or getting picked off around the river
>Lose

I don't even know anymore. This is like babysitting a bunch of autistic, ADHD ridden 3 year olds

holy shit EE getting trashed. His teams feels like account buyers man.

>pipe/dagon meepo
>carry pitlord memshit
>underfarmed sand king
>Clinkz, a hero that can never turn the tides even if all he does is stomp early/mid-game

Clinkz is just a KDA booster, not a game winner.

?

>This is like babysitting a bunch of autistic, ADHD ridden 3 year olds

This is why I play Chinese pubs, less babysitting overall because chinks are more disciplined on average in comparison to EU West pubs.

What is /d2g/'s opinion on Brian "BananaSlamJamma" Canava?

>pitlord can teleport to heroes
Um

You do realize you can't teleport onto heroes with his ult right?

Besides, what siege are you expecting from those teammates? Just rat alone you fuck.

i always build bottle treads on clock
i don't understand how people can use anything else, bottle treads gives basically infinite mana so i don't have to rely on any shitter to mana me, tranqs are nice and all but i've pretty much dropped them on most heroes since the nerfs. not to mention treads vastly improves your farming speed.

>pitlord can teleport to heroes
eeeehhhehehehhehe

How is Notail supposed to win LAN without Miracle?

What would dota be like with six man teams? What would it be like with four man teams?

EE is so bad

Dual roam with six-man teams would happen a lot I think.

Four-man would most likely work around pushing way faster and earlier.

he replaces him with RTZ

why EE jugg omnislash dun have dmg?

>rEEtard

n0tail is the joke that keeps on giving.

I like watching him in small doses because I'm a carry autist like him.

I really hate his passive-aggressiveness though.

>work in a hotel in rome

>they left a good tip for the waiting staff

lmao, ee will end stream if he lose this game too.
taking bets now if EE will win or not again.

daijoubou nigga

kek
good joke my nigga

>Play underlord as utility
>win

>Play underlord as farming core
>win

dotards?

He'll win

>YOU. ARE.

my fire

>lost 16 of my last 20 games, drop below 3k
>say fuck it, start picking slark every game
>won 8 in a row so far

So, what is this Moo Mom drama that everyone is talking about?

>tfw tiago is in jail getting his smug boipuqqi filled right now

you got a godlike streak and managed to still have only 435 gpm
when you run around with a ganking hero and get loads of kills on supports for the first 20 minutes then proceed to die over and over you are a detriment to your team because all you've done is given the enemy carries gold
you're just as bad as everyone else on your team
also no one has a gpm higher than 500 this must be 1k
if you can't pick a hero like jugg and win every game in that bracket you deserve to be there

Why is EternalEnvy so dumpster

...

He'll do a bad call like forcing his team to do roshan or pushing into the enemy base which will end up backfiring and lose the game

What's the pitlord early game item build anyway?

Arcane Meka?

>puqqi

kys

it's not like slark is op he's just self sufficient and punishes disorganization
if you get sb echo skadi by 25 your team can feed as much as they possible can and you can still win

>watching EE instead of our literal guy Moo

>win 17 games in a row
>despite picking pit lord and feeding on purpose and making garbage items (mid lane of course) four of those games

I like vanguard into crimson on him personally pham

Nothing stops you from getting both mek and vanguard though, given how fast he can farm

get the fuck out of my thread

>me in the back

rush battlefury

>Pick Azgalor, the Pitlord
>feed
>lmao it doesn't matter because retarded teamfight presence u win anyways

le balanced fat demon lizard

Arcane mek is pretty good

I've also seen vlads, hotd, or medallion do well as second buys

>our literal guy Moo
>american normie
>EE
>Veeky Forums incarnate, virgin, weeb who's actually good at the game
>you post with an anime image

get out

youtube.com/watch?v=O1SKmzv4bOw

Moo is a weeb though???

>moo
>not virgin
pick 1 (one)

at least EE might once have held hands with that chinese translator with the turquoise hair

>liking EE but not liking anime

EE literally is anime
youtube.com/watch?v=ZElzPaYoyoI

no he's not
he's an american normie tier fag who got kicked for a LITERAL clown because he cant play actual offlaner heroes

i guess you missed the point, or just cant comprehend english

Why don't people play legion commander like they play other blink reliant heroes? Go tranquils wind lace(maybe into drums) and rush everyone to death until you have enough for blink. Tranquils armor is pretty good on her too.

because legion is a semi carry tardo

>no he's not
He had milky holmes avatar and played anime music on stream.

EE is the ash ketchum of dota
Overhyped by fanboys, only won a single honeypot (Major=orange islands), failed at every major event

someone post the gif of the chinese host kneeling beside EE pulling him down when he tried to stand up.

That was before EE was THAT popular i think.

She's not a semi carry unless she gets some kills under her belt. You can't get the kills unless you are able to catch the enemy.

Please kill me..

I had an avatar of simba before, doesnt make me a fucking DisneyAboo

Because you could buy phase instead

Yea but did you play hakuna matata on stream?

Didn't think so.

>echo sabre
When will this shit build stop?
When will people realize this item does absolutely nothing on slark?

Nah orange islands is clearly MLG Columbus

how do we make doom a good hero again, d2g?

I played Hakuna Matata on my fucking original african, lion skin, chinese made, disney distributed, bongo, you fucking nigger.

Doesnt make me a disneyaboo

it slows and gives a lot more burst
the mana and stats are all desirable on slark as well
but please tell me how your judgement is better than literally every pro that plays slark

The mana is nice

>phase on a hero that builds SB and/or blink and gets FREE damage

what do you think blink is for

>almost 2017
>people are still buying drums
for the past 5 years drums was only good for one minor patch
why does it still get purchased

The slow, mana, and str are all highly desirable on slark. The double attack is not the focus, it's just a little bonus.

>goodAquila
>does nothing on slark

Yeah I'm not buying into this "pro" meme.
They also go linkens, manta on medusa or MoM on ursa.
They realized by now that MoM ursa is garbage though so that's a first step.

>Tranquils on a hero that gets free healing

also you can never have enough damage

>Doom now deals magic damage in an AOE around the doomed target

whats the console command for opening the last hit practicing map?

>a lot more burst
>exactly 1 autoattack

Before you get blink. Notice all the sand king and bat rider players in TI building lace and tranqs before getting blink(actually bat rider players tended get a full drums first).

>WOW
hes still a literal melee creep

4.2 str growth

I only buy drums for spec tho so I can jump in the teamfight with low odds of dying

Doom now instantly kills the target if they are below 12.5% health, and Doom gets the targets ultimate as his own for 60/120/180 seconds

>ooga booga LeL mentality
no thanks

>people buying echo sabre for the mana
A single sage's mask for 325g gives you almost the same regen. But yeah you can also spend 2.6k gold on an early game item.

Aghs lets him devour ancient creeps.
Doom always applies break.

Doom (the spell) no longer requires aghs to apply Break effect

Aghs causes enemies near a doomed target to have their passives disabled as well, on top of its current effects

You build treads on LC because HP, IAS and mana are things that hero needs. With tranquils you also need a soul ring and have to rely on your team to actually kill your duel target.
Tranquils are fine if you're position 4 but game losing if you've had a lane to farm.

>Eternal SHIT

Someone webm that latest ee blunder please

What if drums started working like BKB?
When you run out of drum charges you can still cast it ifor 1/3rd of effectiveness. Buying a new recipe does not recharge it
Is drums good now?

Soul Ring Arcane Mekansm for Q + W
Phase Vanguard (into crimson) for W + E.
