Weaver is Cute! Cute!
Why don't pros run Earth Spirit as a core?
>Linken's is a farming item
>>128761997
so he already has linkens before the enemies get hexes
it just guarentees that weaver can be uninhibited

Why the fuck does bulldog build linken
Literally what"s the point they only have missile and ion shell to pop

>>128762478
man TB looks like a zombie
>>128762517
Which hero from their draft is unusual? Their entire lineup (aside from maybe jugg) would fit right into TI3.
If Alliance wins, this confirms Dota2 is a fraudulent game determined by Icefrog rather than a "skillful" game
>>128762057

theres just no logical reason you would pick this hero when you could pick say, WK instead. unless enemy team is weaver skywrath mage or something.
i had fun even though i lost. i'm trying to have a positive attitude! Yosh!
I even told tusk that she did a good job.

>>128762620
maelstrom and s&y of course
really nice pause from alliance right there, classic [A]
>>128762517
But it's true. This patch entirely supports Alliance's playstyle.
>Return to push dota
>Run a three-core style with S4 on an aggressive hero, bulldog on a greedy offlane and Loda on a greedy safelane
The absence of a particularly strong set of heroes like in pervious patches helps too, but wisp being good; chen being good; prophet finding traction and lone druid finding traction? It's entirely Alliance's patch.
>>128762301
Kuro is known to be toxic.
S4 is known to easily tilt.
Do the math.
>>128762620Aghs
>>128762517
Yeah, they totally weren't shit for almost 3 years :^))
yo seriously was that a bug when loda spun through wall right or was there a juggernaut illusion offscreen or something
>>128762706

lel
Nice honeypot rigged lan you got there starladder
>>128762778
i heard radiance was the new void meme, seemed worth a try, really only worried about the damage from wk who won't want to buy a mkb ever
Honestly this is all futrher proof that icefrog is dead.
Icefrog died, the rest of valve took over. The rest of valve are redditors and only care about getting their dicks sucked by le reddit. As a result, everything reddit bitches about gets changed and the game is slowly becoming league of legends.
Now, they literally make a patch to deliberately buff Te[A]m Reddit, an otherwise dogshit irrelevant t3 team. Could they be more blatant about it?

The biggest crime the boomers seem to have commited is to have told people to get a job when there are few if I go by what the internet tells me. Which goes to show that one of the worst things you can do to another person is offend them.
Remember the time when comebacks were not every game ? That was the time... No real hype since that fucking patch
It was obvious that Alliance would throw the game with that line up. It'd like my pub games, tactical feed they call it
