"I want to kill myself"

- EternaLEnVy, 2016

sing is good

What items need more things to build into?

Nth for Traxex is the best waifu

rapier obv

I'm retarded but my point stands, we need an upgrade to HotD that doesn't get rid of the Dominate active, and in fact strengthens it. I hate Satanic for this reason.

Is there any to view team stack indications after this new patch?

top eu teams after shuffle

1. SEAcret
2. new eg
3. og
4. liquid (LUL"literally team assassin"BA)

good shit kuro

bracer

i often want more hp but there's not a whole lot of choice in dota2

HELP ME

PLEASE HELP ME

New Secret
1. kr Pyo 'MentalProtector' Noa
2. my Yeik Nai 'MidOne' Zheng
3. kr Sang-Don 'FoREv' Lee
4. ee Clement 'Puppey' Ivanov
5. se Johan 'pieliedie' Åström

hey i like this team now

Q: Raise Skeletons
>Active, AoE, Summon
>Raise all corpses in target aoe to create up to 2/3/4/5 Skeleton Warriors under your control
>Skeletons have 20-32 damage, 260 ms, take 2 hero attacks / 4 creep attacks to destroy and have an ability "Wither"
>Wither: Every attack on a hero lowers that hero's maximum HP by 3% for 40 seconds (multiple stacks are multiplicative)
>60 duration 12 cooldown

W: Corpse Explosion
>Active, AoE
>Detonates all corpses in an aoe in a rapid chain reaction. Detonates up to 6 corpses instantly and 1 every 0.4 seconds after that.
>Each corpse detonated deals 30/40/50/60 damage and stuns for 0.1 seconds.
>Detonated corpses aren't destroyed and can be used for further casts.
>10 cooldown

E: Gore Rain
>Active, AoE, Channeling
>Vomits forth a torrent of corpses in target AoE. Ejects 2/3/4/5 corpses per second. Every enemy hit by a corpse gets -8% movespeed and -2 armor for 5 seconds, stacking independently. Corpses count as skeleton warrior corpses no matter what they were when consumed.
Subskill: Consume Corpses
>Devours all corpses in target aoe. Can store up to 20 corpses at once.
>Passively generates 1 corpse every 5/4/3/2 seconds.
>You can cahnnel Gore Rain during Dance of the Dead simultaneously.

R: Dance of the Dead
>Active, Ultimate, Channeling
>While channeling for 6/8/10 seconds, all corpses are reanimated as uncontrollable summons, and all allies enter a frenzied state while in the aoe. Units reanimate 1 second after dying, whether allied or enemy, and reanimated units will keep reanimating each time they die. Enemy and allied heroes are returned, but still uncontrollable. All reanimated units die when channeling ends. Frenzies allies for +30/40/50% movement and attack speed.
>Dance of the Dead is replaced with a subability while Channeling: Focus. Makes all revives attack a target of your choice.

Mechanically, yes.
Meta/Theory, no.

If he learned the meta and played meta strategies, he would be tier 1 again, but for that to happen, Kaipi need a proper captain, and maybe a new offlaner.

if the team was to go

???
sing
Boner
Bamboe
New captain

or

Boner
Sing
Coon
Bamboe
New Captain

and the new captain knew the meta, and got the team to all play to the meta, they would be able to make it.

Sadly, it looks like its going to be EGM, if theyre replacing a support, and even if boner went offlane, it'd be hard for them to get a carry this late into lock, unless someone like Fear would come out of the blue, and thats like 0.01% chance

stacks are grouped up in the post game stats

sing sucks because he can't play with other people

God I love this fucking retard so much
>should i push them towards my teammates?
>nah how about farther away by a couple cm's

>EE literally commiting suicide on stream

Holy fuck haha

>top eu teams after shuffle

>1. SEAcret
>2. new eg
>3. og
>4. liquid (LUL"literally team assassin"BA)

1 Secret is SEA team now - inb4 they actually go to SEA qualifiers
2 we dont even know who's going to be on EG. It might be a shitshow again, with fear gone
3 if OG gets s4 and Bulldog theyre gonna be 1 or 2 probably
4 >LULba >Ever

...

Vladamir's Offering needs to be able to upgrade into something better.
HotD needs an upgrade that lets it retain the Dominate active. Preferably one that buffs the dominated creep.

Claymore and Javelin both only build into two big items.
Ghost Scepter only builds into one and it becomes an offensive item. It'd be cool for there to be a cheaper purely defensive upgrade for it.
Sange now only builds into SnY and Halberd. It'd be cool if it could build into something else a little bit more late game oriented, or if Halberd just got a buff.
Desolator could use an upgrade so it retains relevance for late game.

My cuckolding girlfriend...

>linkin park/japo starts playing

EE is like a living fucking meme

by new eg i mean rtz+crit stack, the previous one completely disbanded

Depending on why you want more HP, there are various options available. Hood for magic damage, medallion for physical damage, vanguard for extending natural tankiness.

only 1 player is from SEA

Oh cool another split pusher just what we need.

The only item change I want is for vanguard to be removed from the game
Fuck that piece of shit item, and make Abyssal blade a damage item again icefraud

SECRET WILL NEVER ______

serious question, what was icefrog THINKING with this fucking hero


>40 mana cost time lapse + invulnerability on 6 cooldown
>aoe doom, 12 duration 22 cooldown and slows to boot
>on top of chronosphere and time lock, two hideously strong spells, good enough to make a normal hero playable alone


like didn't someone point out to icefrog that he created a 12 duration 725 aoe disable on a normal spell? krob silence is fucking 6 duration 425 aoe and doesn't slow

Korea is considered SEA friend

OoV, Dragon Lance, Ghost Scepter

Blink Dagger

be european

>Claymore and Javelin both only build into two big items.

Grappling Hook (2550 Gold)
Iron Talon (500) + Chainmail (550) + Javelin (1500)
>+15 Damage
>+10 Armor
>+25% Chance to deal 100 damage
>+40% (15% ranged) damage to non-hero units.

Active Ability: Grapnel
>Throws a grappling hook at a target and tethers you to it for 5 seconds, dealing 100 magic damage. While tethered, you are pulled towards him if he moves more than 500 distance away.
>Only pulls you towards the enemy, does not pull enemy towards you. Pulls at 800 ms and destroys trees if you're pulled through them.
>Tether is broken if enemy moves more than 1200 distance away. Enemy is revealed with shared vision while tethered.
>700 cast range, 14 cooldown, 0 mana cost, 2000 projectile speed, can be disjointed, using the item again while tethered breaks the link prematurely.
>If cast on a tree or ward, destroys it instantly at 4 cooldown. If cast on a creep, deals 40% of its current HP to it in addition to the normal grapnel. effect.

>HotD needs an upgrade that lets it retain the Dominate active. Preferably one that buffs the dominated creep.
let satanic ctrl+click to target creeps to dominate them, same as sharing bottle charges

Be this Beuno

Orb sure, sceptre maybe, dagger fuck no, lance=kill yourself.

>EE playing eroge on stream
Based weeb

void lets you use skills and item, it just doesnt let you use them twice :)

Does he not realize he's streaming his desktop audio?

If not Lance then Force Staff. Hurricane Pike is so elegant on a select few heroes, but there are so many heroes that want to build one and not the other.

why is alchi allowed again?

>ee this salty abt morph

pls nigga, that's not kawaii

>tfw the only anime you watch is on toonami

doesn't change the fact that time dilation is better than doom 1:1

>maxed at level 7
>only 10 seconds downtime thanks to 22 cd
>slows you by significant amount
>hits 725 aoe
>0.1 cast point, hits invisible and fogged units

>being a stereotypical /v/ermin

but, but,
>muh 560 damage over the course of a whole team fight

why does Jacky-sama like to lose so much with Invoker?

because he's very low impact on the hero

you're watching the tilt in real time.

he wants to win so badly as invoker, he's forcing it.

cause he just got anime cosmetics for him

don't forget
>never actually finish casting its horrible animation and range on a single target that fails due to fog/invisi/etc

Vlad's + HotD

Combined stats of both, but without the UAM
Aura has 15% more life leech
Has an active that lets you instantly kill any creep on a 4 second cooldown and gain its aura if it has one. You can only have one aura at a time via this method. Works on ancients.

...

EE's up against a 4k mmr mid
Lets see how hard he loses without the help of at least 2 other teammates

are RTZ and EE still going to play together?

That's yet another upgrade to HotD that gets rid of its active.

NO

to be fair, PL does very well against invoker mid. It's w33s go-to counter against other invokers.

nop. and they shouldn't unless EE goes back to 5. they essentially play an identical style and it's too much having them both as cores.

Also
>an item that makes one of the only redeeming qualities of Doom irrelevant
it would be kind of poetic

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that the new Secret is literally the worst team of all time

what is their style called?

resource hog+anime feeding?

They both play greedy, but arteezy wont throw you the game

Is it possible to lose as underlord?

nu-mids

>Has an active that lets you instantly kill any creep on a 4 second cooldown and gain its aura if it has one
You fucking stupid baka?

maybe if EE picks him

would you let puppey suck your cock?

what's this?

oh god i can already see the aquila drums travel

Very
Timbersaw completely and utterly destroys him.

sEEcret got 16th place at TI6, so Gook Secret still has a chance to not be as bad

I always wanted to know how it feels to have sex with a really powerful person, a president is probably the embodiment of that so probably

is this a good dp patch?

it's meant to take you to the scoreboard for your last game, but it's broke

We talkin about doom?

I just played a match as Doom.

I built auras so my carries could right click good and doomed the occasional spellcaster and it was easy wins

>Devouer is FREE early game HP regen aura
>FREE early-mid long range 0 mana cost 125 damage stun of ganking
>FREE mid game buff removal system with added slow on a 3 second cooldown
>FREE late game 30% damage aura
>FREE all game gold generator

How can a hero be bad when he has the best ability in the game

arc warden was broken at launch. even 7k+ players couldn't deal with rapier spam

Arc warden and oracle were broken as all fuck though

forgot
>/d2g/ says terrorblade is a shit hero and everyone should call him "terrible with a blade Xd"
>needs 3 major nerfs through 2 patches even before being added to cm, is still op and needs an extra patch before he is balanced

I have yet to see Underlord win a game

he has gone 0/16 so far in my games

The dota icon, symbolizing the battlefield split by the river.

the stun is 0 mana cost? I didn't know that

What if there was a support hero who could create a mini-plateau anywhere on the map that you could put a ward on top of? The ability would also last as long as a observer

>playing mirana mid
>totally dominate the first 30 minutes of the game
>my team is total fucking dogshit
>they die many many times
>they feed the other team
>I can no longer carry alone

Mirana is fucking dogshit now after the aghs nerf. Total fucking garbage.

is seacret OUR guys now?

>find plateau
>hah, easy deward
>it was merely a ruse
fuck I'd be so mad

Do you even read patch notes
Every hero granting vision has had his vision granting abilities nerfed since 6.84

has EE actually gotten worse since TI6?

Soul Gouger
Ghost Scepter + Claymore + Javelin
+40 Damage
+10 All attributes

Passive: Pierce
25% chance of an attack dealing 85 magical damage.

Active: Become hasted and unattackable for 4 seconds, but take 40% more magical damage. Attacking while this buff is active ends it immediately and that attack is converted to magical damage with a guaranteed pierce proc. 15 second cooldown
