haven't played dota in 6 months or so.
Ember is my favorite hero.

Daily reminder that the entire idea of Drafting and Banning is tedious, boring, time-wasting garbage and only exists because Valve is too talentless to balance their own game, and so outsources it to the playerbase.

is Crystal "Maiden" the most horrible title given to someone in dota land? this "Maiden" doesnt look like a maiden to me , hell Lina the Slayer is more of a maiden compared to this slut.

thanks for the meal dotards

Mireska is CUTE!
Mireska is a MID!

You think people who make ops care about anything other than getting their waifu on the catalog?

>* Battle Fury damage reduced from 50 to 45
>* Anti-Mage: Spell Shield reduced from 26/34/42/50% to 20/30/40/50%
I feel like this will help AM be less of an annoying shit early/mid game, but once he gets his items (and he still will get them 95% of the time) he will be just as obnoxious as before)

uh sweetie, he has like 300 hp less and only 81% magic res instead of 85% with the 25 talent now :^))

Those changes basically do nothing.

He's balanced now.

>Swashbuckle buffs
>Shield Crash being able to cross terrain outside of RT
>RT buffs

What's your reason for not playing based pangolin of polygamy and offlane?

proof?

>once he gets his items
That's always how it worked. The difference is that now it's much easier to prevent him from doing so since level 1 Spell Shield isn't a F R E E Hood anymore.
Though I still think midgame AM builds should be experimented with since he can now use Skadi and lifesteal items that aren't Vlads.

Memeleague is back again

Vega vs MoF (w33 cancel synd timado khezu)
then Empire vs Navi

>Troll Warlord has 1 int gain
Is he the most brainlet hero?

Is treant a bad hero to play right now? His most useful skill is living armor but you want to get natures guise to do anything in lane. He is one of those supports that don't do jack shit in lane because he is melee and invis is easily countered.

I am sick of this shit. I like the hero thematically but I have never seen more meme talents crammed into one hero. 3s tree respawn? For what fucking purpose?

Just hope someone picks a hero that can farm
up blink and nullifier and still be useful.

based esport bro

Canonically, Ogre Magi would have 1 int gain if they only had one head.

why does mof have 3 mid players and no carry or pos4

post captains who have already figured out the patch, pic related but he will choke after 2 lans and go back to the shitter

why is icefrog so afraid of making anti-mage a.. anti-mage? Right now AM is anti-mana which everyone in the fucking game uses. Anti-mage has no abilities that scale off the enemies INT GAIN. Nyx is more of a anti-mage than anti-mage.

Right now, anti-mage is a pusher and ratter. That doesn't sound very anti-mage like.

OH NO, 5 LESS DAMAGE

AND

AND

6% LESS MAGIC REDUCTION


ANNIE MAGE COMPLETELY DUMPSTERED

i also want a comedic sentence i spam every thread. what should it be dotards?

w33 has given up playing mid, says he finds being a 4 more interesting

>tune in
>a chav
>a cartoon character

>a orange american
idk what I expected

>For what fucking purpose?
to protect the trees

Dont forget str gain nerf and removed +10 all stats talent

>synd
why the fuck is he still trying to be a pro player? jesus christ just stick with casting

Kaya on DP y/n?

>treant
>support

Also placing the Illusion blink tallent against more blink cast range.

>too intelligent to cast!! last place GOOD

>orange
Fogged is all natural greek brown

show us your thought process

@194775748
ooga works on my 2k booga

Dropped from very high skill every game to normal/high over a year, don't know how I got so bad.

>kaya on anyone
no

...

More damage and more mana. What's not to like?

>not getting kaya on sylph

They're still not nearly equal.

Is there a bigger victim of powercreep than Doom?

did owen say brainlet?

>dark willow is a brainlet hero
owen is stealing our memes again

is "Anti-Mage" the most horrible title given to someone in dota land? this "Anti-Mage" doesnt look like an anti-mage to me , hell Nyx Assassin is more of an anti-mage compared to this slut.

@194775860
>he cant farm a 4k gold item

>I'm 2% greek

undying

I wish Doom wasn't borderline unplayable, he's the closest thing the game has to a Blue Mage.

i wish the meta allowed for more mid tier items being built. i don't like how everything that you can build needs to be tier 1 item

Rubick isn't more of a blue mage?

Rubick is a Mimic.

Rubick is a mimic, Blue Mages use monster spells.

fucking nerds

you make good points.

I think AM needs a re-work. he is completely one-dimensional, only one way to play him, has a 100% mandatory first item to build every single game and a rather narrow set of items to build after that (though it might be a little more open now that UAMs are no more). and he's not even a fucking "anti-mage" like you say. just another split push / ratter. I'd say he's more similar to Tinker and NP than to eg. Nyx Assassin.

>drown nerfs

for what fucking purpose

>doom is bad
???

Honestly I think Icefrog should just bite the bullet and let Mana Break and Diffusal stack, if he has to nerf other aspects of the hero then so be it.

*Drow

>not the eclass sedan
you dotards need to grow up

/d2g/ is good

well we actually need someone to take up the mantle of "naga eating a fish" poster. we haven't been able to fill that position for a while, now...

but if that's not your speed, just peruse the d2gulag until something inspires you

orchid?

>holy shit i'll finally get 5k
>*a wild forced 50 appears*
>"pshhhh... nothing personnel..... kiddo..."

I like Kaya, it's a comfy item, but it feels like a waste since it doesn't build into anything.

What item should Kaya build into, /d2gulag/? Either a pre-existing item or a new one.

will icefrog port dampeer and will the vampire poster be vindicated?

replace a purse from refresher

kaya + aether + recipe

timado can we get a shout out

Gives +50ms on the river

Why is Mid or Feed at this tournament?
I can name 10 better EU teams

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

because they qualified

any spell amplification item will be trash unless it give more than 25%. Why buy those when veil gives 25% for a little cost.
it shouldve been a pencil for mightier than sword meme.

Is aghs on necro worth it now that the cooldown is huge?

Not all spell damage is magical, brainlet.

Christ, I forgot about Grants creepy little goblin teeth.

Kaya + Javalin + Gloves of Haste + recipe

i accept

you buy more regen

it's only a matter of time dotards
who would build this though? juggernaut? gyrocopter?

>not playing caster sf with veil, kaya, spell amp talents, and shadowraze dmg talents

>80% of people think MOF will win
L M A O

Sange & Kaya, you heard it here first. (Except someone probably already had this idea a week ago.)

>people

Vega are REALLY fucking bad now

what if you bought all three and you killed yourself?
