>Bloodmaster
>Bloodsurf: The Bloodmaster surfs a wave of blood, damaging enemy units on his way.
>Bloodshot: The Bloodmaster projects his blood at a target, stunning and damaging it. The shot will deal maximum damage if Bloodmaster has 50% more AGI than STR, or deal maximum stun if Bloodmaster has 50% more STR than AGI.
>Blood Manipulation: The Bloodmaster manipulates his own blood and exchange STR points or AGI, or vice versa
>Blood Copy: The Bloodmaster copies the blood of a hero into an imperfect copy that deals 50% and takes 100% damage. The Bloodmaster can shatter the copy and replace it with himself at will. This ability can be upgraded by Scepter.

>>122461726
That's actually tactical feeding. In this meta the poorest players are the supports of the winning team, who tactically feed to create space, draw attention away from their cores, and inflate the enemy cores' net worth in order to make them spill more money upon death.
RTZ my son. Feel the shittiness within you. Let the disband from through you.

Actually bretty smart, Vega don't expect that shit.
is he the Akagi of Dota?
>>122462119
Invoker is the #1 priority farmer here, not Gyro.
If you watched the game you would have seen RTZ roaming early on, while Sumail kept farming.

What's the appeal of watching other people play video games?
Especially when 99% of the time, people are hitting npc animals and are just controlling characters with a max of 4 abilities. That just seems so boring

Okay, so if you have WD and SF next to you, and you are Winter Wyvern, who do you ult?
The professional gamer chose WD, so that SF is stunned, and WD is beating him. This results in no deaths.
I would have chosen WD, so that WD is stunned, and SF is beating him. This would result in a dead WD.
