Is medusa aghs worth it? Seems nice have a more reliable stun.

god help you
spam viper until you're 3k

Tree: I'm going to harass the offlaner with my high base damage

Shaman: Hold my beer.

ty bro!

got you nigga

>win game
>get reported because i bought aghs on underlord

Reddit has a new idea to ruin Dota again. Reddit should be blocked on all the computers at Valve offices.

I would say yes. Honestly, it's more control, good stats. Just not sure when you would get it.
Then you have to weigh it vs the slot it would be taking.

better pickup than fucking manta

serious tho
block reddit and tumbler at work

it wasn't supposed to be this way!

>Desolator
>Not unique attack modifier anymore
>Drow Ranger
>Frost Arrows are no longer a Unique Attack Modifier
So is Desolator and Skadi on Drow Ranger super viable now? Extra slow + super damage.

>someone calls you out for not having detection

>they too do not have detection

Since u guys play it for while now.
DO U LIEK IT?

i like it but you need to get rid of all the AOE, GPM, and XPM talents. make only one random bounty rune spawn in each jungle.

>that filename
KEK

So.... now waht?

HON GREATER THAN DOTA 2

>Desolator
>Not unique attack modifier anymore
>Drow Ranger
>Frost Arrows are no longer a Unique Attack Modifier
So is Desolator and Skadi on Drow Ranger super viable now? Extra slow + super damage.

Whole team builds blademail and stands in shrapnel for a bit?

>Desolator
>Not unique attack modifier anymore

skip frost arrow
get MoM actually much better

This is an amazing patch for safelane. Midas gaming and you can carry 1v9. ive won all 5 matches ive played in ranked today

>Wukong's Command army no longer copy Basher/Abyssal
rip, thank god

>play 5 matches
NEET

No. Mid game should be frost+MoM+deso.

Nvm MoM is still an orb

>medusa
>Added Scepter for Medusa. Causes Mystic Snake to turn enemies into stone for 1 second. Increases by 0.2 seconds per bounce.
Chain stun? that sounds op as hell

? its called revision week off bro. i have my finals in a week

Wait frost+MoM+deso works since it's only one orb

Does it piece BKB like her stone gaze though?

>tfw a manager of my own small company
>i blocked reddit, imgur, and tumblr so nobody could go there
>i didnt block Veeky Forums

who op now

I would say Clinkz thanks to the removal of UAM in both Desolator and Skadi in previous patch. His ultimate is shit now though.

It's not that big of a stun anyway.
I think it's better than scythe, if you want a disable, that is.
Only reason to pick it. To have a disable. Otherwise, not worth it.

tfw no fellatio hero

>Techies
>Replaced Respawn Talent: +250 Attack Damage (Level 25)
prepare your anuses

>pop up my game
>ready for some dotes

>wonder who i'll get
>mfw antimage with 825 extra gold

WHERE WERE YOU WHEN Veeky Forums HAD SLAIN REDDIT, WHEN THE VALIANT GULAGITES HAD RETURNED THE NOBLE ICEFROG TO HIS THRONE AND DEPOSED OF THE DESPOT BRUNO, WHEN GOOD WAS ORDAINED AND EVIL WAS FORBIDDEN, WHEN THE VALIANT DEFENDERS OF THE DYING DOTA 2 GENERAL HAD RETURNED IT BACK TO LIFE AND REDDIT: THE GAME WAS SLOWLY TURNED BACK INTO DotA?

I, MY FRIENDS, WILL SAY WITH PRIDE THAT I WAS HERE, SHITPOSTING AND KEEPING OUR COMMUNITY FROM THE BRINK OF DEATH WHILE MOST OF YOU COWARDS SWORE ALLEGIANCE TO REDDIT.

CAN YOU DO THE SAME?

250 is not even that big in late game, if you can get Techies to level 25 that is.

>the jungle camp spawn change
tis a blessing

I hate AM so fucking much. All that changes in denying and neutrals only make this purple queer stronger.
Meanwhile PA is still shit tier.

valve sure wants to kill techies for the good. after making them beep, even in fog, there is no point in techies anymore.

they should just remove it desu

With the changes to solar crest, she's even more of a meme. Literally just a support version of MKB.

>queeling blade is core on every hero now

Literally phantom ass after 7.06

>people still thinking pa went to the trashcan
PA in every patch goes to the trashcan, yet they pick her and terrorizes the pubs.
Yeah sure, you can hit her, that's not gonna save you from a surprise double crit or a dagger crit

>His ultimate is shit now though.
It's been nerfed early, but buffed for late game, since you don't have to run around like a retard searching for creeps

>Solar Crest on enemies changed from 25% Miss chance on target to 25% Truestrike chance on attackers
What the hell is this, so If you miss, you still have 25% chance to hit? That is weak as shit

VOTE FOR PUGNA
LOLI ARCANA WILL HAPPEN

>Reminder that only third worlders are bothered by the PA nerfs

Who are you quoting?

it's good for visage and shit with summons now. whenever i picked BM i'd always get a PA in my lane

>filename is actually bigger than Veeky Forums's limit

had a hearty kek, hadn't noticed that before

Except for the neutral changes and the new denying mechanics, I don't think Ember gets any change in gameplay, right?
He can farm a fucking lot faster now though.

ember is bad at denying creeps, so it hurt his laning phase in alot of matchups that used to be somewhat even

what nerf?

I just wish bf ember came back
Way more fun than shitty magic damage ember.

Magic damage ember is legit af though, just watching chained nerds melting away really gets my stiff ngl

Doesn't work coz mom silences you, so you don't get the frost arrows.

yeah but it's boring and kills the hero
the hero based on sleight of fist was funnier

Same could be said about Phoenix
He was an offlane hero, an agressive bird that dived in with spirits and shit
But he then became a support cuck with his laser from afar

PA can buy Desolator and Satanic now, I would say that's a pretty hefty buff.

How good is my boy Meepo? I just recovered from thumb surgery, so I can use my control groups again

>what is toggle autocast

Medusa has the slots free so why not?

>whenever my friends play medusa they build manta second item
>I watch as they do literally no damage
>they're not even good enough to use it to dodge/purge themselves
why are people like this

I reckon that offlane Phoenix is back again seeing as Urn gives armour now. Combine that boost to his laning with the 20% (!) EXP talent at level 10 and an unpurgeable Heaven's Halberd and the hero might just be fucking broken.

>What is playing the game and actually trying the dumb shit that you post on the internet

>sheever
>cancer
best timeline clearly

yeah farming afk for 30 mins is fun as fuck
and leveling stats too

magic ember is better and u can transition to bf ember come lategame

>dont have the game isntalled
>shitpost about the game

d2g - starcrumpets everyone

I need that dendi dancing webm with chicks appearing out of nowhere, thanks

>sheever replaced by lacoste

CM is still best support

SKADOOSH

if you're up against lineup that have silence, and you didnt activate autocast then maybe you're too stupid to be alive, but then again who am i to judge

>urn worse in every way

Guess I'll just throw these gauntlets in the fucking trash

i dun know why i like Bulldog more than N0tail

just because it is turned on doesnt mean you can cast it
silence just doesnt untoggle it

fucking retard

Bulldog won Tea Eye

AWWW YEAAA

So the build for Medusa is now:
Phase Boots
Mask of Madness
Aghs
Desolator
Diffusal Blade
Big items

Or is it better to switch deso and aghs?

so are they gponna nerf comeback mechanics? that's still the most reddit feature of dota 2

>mask of madness
It's not good anymore due to silence unless you cast snakes and ult before.

Death cost and building gold got lowered. Let's see how it affects the mechanics.

how significant is this nerf?

tb didnt get nerfed particularly hard but jungle flashfarming and stacks are back, so he should at least have some competition among carries.

>wonder why the sudden huge drop in skill in players
>realize it's summer in some parts of america
Whelp, good bye mmr for the next 4 months.

Not really, slots are way too precious to Medusa and Aghs doesn't give her much durability or damage.

>everyone sleeping on underlord and his aghs
with how fast he farms and jungle being strong there's no fucking reason to not pick him

>replace 50% mana regen with +1 mana regen
What did they mean by this.

it does make her more disruptive though and better suits the "semicarry that you don't want to focus until it's too late" role though. I think it's fine to go aghs on a dusa as long as the rest of your team has enough damage.

>so are they gponna nerf comeback mechanics?
1v9 dota will never return user
face it

And then RP them all and skewer them 1300 units LMOA
