>muh australian
James Garcia
this bulldog game seems super fun to play just wished i wasnt an aspie
Jaxson Rodriguez
Australia is gonna win TI8
Julian Diaz
reeee normie
Grayson Ramirez
refresher aghs double blackhole
Ayden Roberts
i really want to see newbee and liquid ti8 rematch. that would be fucking awesome if the two teams could compete at this level against eachother again. ti7 final it felt like no one could compete with liquid besides burning, so the final was anticlimactic.
Josiah Gutierrez
...
Andrew Allen
liquid v newbee and liquid v secret would be the best story lines of the possible ones at least
Carter Carter
Liquid vs Secret desu, I think Newbee in this tournament was kinda like EG in that they relied on opponents not banning a certain hero.
Noah Harris
Australia number 1!
Dylan Flores
eh i'm not on the secret hype train, they're another boring team to watch. i would like to see OG finally make it to a final. But the thing I want most in the world is an LGD final. They've been top 3 so many times, they deserve it so bad. Maybe plays insane every game and now fy is with them too. They actually have looked insanely good since moving him back to 4.
Jaxon Williams
what's the golden thing far right?
also gib some
Julian Cook
>In the last fight the remainder of Liquid's team blinked into Static Storm and a BKB'd OD to save Miracl
Pretty hilarious desu
Jose Rogers
yes but newbee is a good team and the meta will change again and again before ti

Aaron Allen
remember when Sheever hosted a TI? what happened?
John Foster
redeye is best host. pls no more nahaz/day9/sheever....i'm ok with machine as a secondary host he's finding a niche
Ryan Green
why doesnt tobi host?
Dominic Hall
damn poor wings
Owen Taylor
What happened to sven meta? If anything he's even more powerful in 7.0.7x
Dylan Walker
Machine is literally goodRedeye, tired of this old goblin manlet with his 3 catchphrases
Jace Carter
can't yell on the panel
Liam Jackson
How the hell do I farm with TA guys? I have 300 games on her, she carried me to 4k last year but when I pick her its borderline impossible everyone has much bigger range than me and more damage as well. Lanes against invoker and SF are unwinnable because they just deny everything
Ryder Campbell
they were lightning in a bottle. i feel the same about cdec too. I always root for y and q, both of them are incredibly underrated captains.
Hunter Taylor
Popular opinion: Use trap talent to flash farm.
Unpopular opinion: Don't play garbage heroes like TA/PA. Be a man and get a big dick core like Lycan or Tiny.
Liam Gutierrez
>big dick core like Lycan I'm sorry I don't like playing OP heroes. Besides TA's dick is pretty big
Christian Gutierrez
That's a big continent.
Luis Taylor
You do realize you have a spell that gives you a free billion damage right? Also stack everything.
Xavier Wood
this isnt me Its not like she´s bad I just cant get the ball rolling like I used to back in the day. Fuck I want my 20 win streaks with TA back
Evan Foster
SF is the most OP mid atm and automatically wins his lane as early as level 3 so no surprises here. No excuse losing the lane to Invoker tho.
Robert Anderson
>most OP mid >tinker >pl >razor >storm >FUCKING DRAGON KNIGHT
Owen Baker
2011: Non-chink team wins. 2012: Chinks win. 2013: Non-chink team wins. 2014: Chinks win. 2015: Non-chink team wins. 2016: Chinks win. 2017: Non-chink team wins. 2018: < >
Really makes you wonder.
Jose Lewis
>being this bad
Angel Sanchez
since both TI finalists are still in good form, I hope to see a TI7 rematch.
Jordan Edwards
When I go against invo he just puts all points into whatever gives him damage and has like 40 damage advantage on me
Andrew Peterson
LGD WILL DO IT THIS YEAR
Leo Sanders
The balance of power is actually just an illusion because those non-chink teams aren't even from the same region.
Jordan Price
You know that for the first few levels invoker is basically a creep and you should run at him as much as possible?
Brandon Hernandez
CN - 3 TI wins EU - 3 TI wins NA - 1 TI win
Caleb Lewis
IceFrog-sama please re-buff Broodmother so I don't get removed from the team by my employers please.
Christopher Collins
You can't just claim CIS is EU when it suits you.
Caleb Torres
LFY VP game 2 was the best game of ti7 fight me
Sebastian Taylor
>as if it needs a buff last banned by newbee like every game tonight
Cooper Wilson
Overslept first game of NB vs TL, just watched the replay. Gotta say there is not a single item more broken than force staff
Nathaniel Long
Mek is the worst item in the game right now, Solar Crest, Spirit Vessel and Pipe are so much better.
Ethan Johnson
Opposed to getting first banned in nearly every game when Matu was wreaking havoc in TI.
Daniel Williams
maybe he should learn to play another hero as well as he plays brood. ti winners typically are incredibly proficient in a wider pool of heroes than he is.
Nolan Cox
*unsheates golden oven mitts*
Asher Phillips
That would be midas The item your average carry builds whenever behind making sure they stay behind. Another thing that comes to mind is vanguard that assures that every spectre player who doesnt get radiance in 15 minutes will buy and then lose a game because it makes spec useless
How so? Godstrenght was nerfed from damage to survivability
Brody Perez
>nerfed in damage doesnt it give even more damage now? unless the str you get from the ult doesnt get amplified
Andrew Carter
It was rebalanced.
You get less damage from str items in exchange for free hp. I just feel sven weak over all like ta. Not as good as they were used to
Jason Jenkins
he can still shit all over your asshole like he used, too many heroes who can just kite him out or cc him in the current meta though
Wyatt Butler
How should Medusa be nerfed?
Noah Rodriguez
nerf the damage reduction on manashield by a bit nerf le ebin snake of free laning by much
Andrew Thompson
The one hero that actually wants to buy a shitter mitt is Arc because he essentially gets double the gold and experience from it, which makes the initial investment easy to cope with. That Injoker has to buy it (and Aghs) is something that seriously cripples him.
Leo Turner
+100 range bonus from split shots removed mana shield absorbtion from 60% at all levels to 45/50/55/60 some scaling to stone gaze other than the duration
Easton Evans
0.5 str gain mana shield buffed to 70%
Logan Scott
how do you counter fucking monkey king?
Luke Myers
just ward his tree nah but really, he is just goodUrsa who cant early rosh, play like you play vs ursa
Austin Phillips
except that monkey king actually scales really well into the lategame and has 300 range huh
Josiah Butler
flying vision disarms stuns attack slows burst damage not trying to manfight him in the ebin circle of rampages like a herald
William Jackson
Except you can't kite him that much and he can stun you and he can flee easily early game if he get vision on you and his ultimate does a lot of damage and doesn't require him to stay close
Mason Reed
Does Invoker really have to buy it though? It's only x1.85 of the creep's exp. Surely he can get something else that lets him kill 2 big creeps in 100 seconds?
Adrian Parker
Not without being a liability before 20 minutes. He's the most level dependent hero in the game so every little bonus counts.
Gavin Sullivan
It is. Buff the heal and it maybe could be better, or the stats it gives.
Christopher Moore
why do you overrate mk this much?
Jaxson Carter
matu is the bulldog of his generation
Zachary Hughes
>play unranked >4 smurfs in my team, 2 on the enemy >have literally zero impact on the game, it all comes down to whose smurfs are actually good and if someone is some raging fuck who feeds if he doesnt get core
Hudson Morgan
Just got 5 games low prio for abandoning an AD match during draft phase.
I have a :D behaviour score, is this shit just arbitrary or what? 5 games really?
Ryan Barnes
doesnt matter what gamemode it is and when you abandon
Jason King
That's retarded, it's 5 games for abandoning during pick phase, I can see abandoning a ranked game where there is no safe to leave but 5 games is overkill, especially with a :D behaviour score. 1 or 2 games would be fine but 5 games is just ridiculous
Oliver Fisher
you dont get lp for 1 abandon, its either 2 or more abandons in short time or you were reported into low prio
Connor Morris
The only cores I can think of in which Midas is a good pickup are Arc Warden and mid Bane (and arguably WK if you're really desperate for that level 18-20).
Landon Anderson
Either way, 5 wins is overkill, Valve needs to restructure low prio games now that you have to win them instead of just play them.
Camden Robinson
*blocks your path*
Austin Gonzalez
is Disruptor OP?
Jose Stewart
only against shitquid
Benjamin Collins
No point in having a good behaviour score if you're just going to get the max low prio games for leaving 2 Ability draft games during pick phase.
Brayden Brooks
Kinda. I really think Glimpse (and X Marks the Spot) should be dispellable. They're just too good, I'd say Glimpse is the best skill in the game besides maybe Rearm or Ball Lightning.
Justin Myers
mek is good mostly as a build up to greaves, which is a great item on offlaners right now. but it's too expensive for supports. still, there are some occasions like in oracle/dazzle or lich games against high phys damage cores where i'll buy a casual mek.
Brayden Anderson
it scales based on how many times you go to low prio user, stop being a naught boy.
Ayden Rivera
To be honest, Icefrog buffed his other skills way too much. Thunder Strike, Kinetic Field AND Static Storm which were so-so before were buffed through the roof which made him from a decent hero with an exceptionally unique skill to a multi-purpose hero (well, except pushing)
Lucas Sullivan
the fucked up thing is that even if you havent been to LP in years, if your account had LP a lot in the past youll always get the max 5 games every time you get it, for whatever reason
Owen Watson
I haven't calibrated since the MMR change to Medals. Is the system still the same, just coated over with shiny medals? I ask because my party mmr is lower than my solo and a few friends want to calibrate with me. I was hoping to do my solo mmr first, but I've been putting it off. Do party and solo mmr affect each other at all?
Lincoln Robinson
supports with repositioning spells seem to be inherently op in pro matches
Alexander Nguyen
warlock is actually so good
Levi Walker
tree cutters like timbersaw are good but the best way to counter him is to blind or disarm him and nuke him. oracle, kotl, tinker. in lane no honestly he's a very weak laner and teams counter the shit out of him when they know how. every time vp loses a series and gets knocked out way too early it's because a team punishes picking fucking disruptor.
