who cares fuck th*s game
first for a dead game
>284 days since last hero release
DED GAME GENERAL
Why haven't you joined the Long Qua dynasty yet, dotards?
You have 3 minutes and 22 seconds to find a better play than this.
Go ahead, I'm waiting.

Call me a Dota 2 baby, but I have no idea what's going on there
Best Overthrow meme:
Pick Weaver
Get aghs into solar crest
then either go octa/refresher/utility
or straight damage
enemy will be dumbfounded whe your wraith king suddenly has 4 lives
Reminder that Secret will never lose desu.
If you had the chance to hang out with a pro player for a day, who would it be?
Mine is pic related. We are about the same age and listen to the same type of music. He seems pretty chill too.
>>123405243
He bought HotD, then dominated the range scourge creep as its attack projectile was just about to hit him so it denied him.
>>123405243
Kunkka was pick ban material. That's all I got from it too.
>>123405373
Someone did that earlier this year as ench.
It was at DAC I think
>>123405243
Kunkka jukes into the secret shop being chased by Drow Ranger, she almost gets btfo by torrent and Tidehunter coming after her, she buys HotD while fighting tide and the lifeleech lets her survive one extra hit, and the dire ranged creep attacks her but she uses the HotD active to dominate the creep, which causes the already launched attack to make her deny herself instead.
Dead general for a dead game

>>123405481
>>123405373
He just got a kill with torrent to even get the gold to buy HotD, important to mention.
>>123405481
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6V7doTN61q4
>>123405243
Drow is radiant, Kunkka and Tide are dire.
Drow goes in balls deep to kill Kunkka but fucks up because Tide is riding her ass and will shortly kill her.
However, she buys a lifesteal mask from the secret shop to finish a Helm of the Dominator after she kills Kunkka and dominates the dire ranged creep that is attacking her mid projectile to deny herself.
It's a cute play but she should never have been caught in that position in the first place.

Remember that the game is DEFENSE of the ancients NOT attack of the ancients OK
>>123407026
The defense part means to defend your teammates.
It reinforces that DotA is a team game.

>>123415353
