How to fix Doom:
Option A
>Devour now decreases the manacost of Neutral Creep active abilities by 25/35/35/40 percent
Option B
>Doom damage reworked to inflict scaling damage based on the target's max HP (10/15/20 + 2.0/2.5/3.0 percent of MAX HP per second.)
Option C
>Infernal Blade stun duration increased to 0.75 from 0.3. Infernal Blade debuff now stacks.
Option D
>Base HP regeneration increased to 3 from 0.25

HEY DOTARDS
ITS A LAN
YOU'RE HAVING PACKET LOSS
CAN YOU EXPLAIN THIS
ITS ALMOST LIKE

Dota 2 and CS:GO are the only esports with ingame spectating with casters.
I mean they still can do it offline, Dota 2 has a LAN mode but that kind of screws over everyone that paid for the Dotapit ticket.
>>135709223
Not really, you realise theres carnet and other stuff around croatia which have 15+ upload?

Rushing Radiance if you have the space is perfectly fine. So many kids only gank a Spectre once if at all. A sub-20 Radiance is basically a free win if you force team fights from that point onwards everytime your ult is off CD.
>>135709326
>>135709364
>>135709418
>>135709432
It's not LAN dipshits, they are playing on the Valve servers because of the ingame spectating.

Yeah the Shanghai major was definitely a step up in quality

You know, like CS was doing with HLTV over a decade ago.

Troll is a hard carry. The second best 1v1 hero in the game. Why would you fight when you can farm? You can't lose the lategame if you buy a bkb. Get SnY and BoTs and you'll be at a constant 511 movespeed. Nobody can catch you.

That's actually not that uncommon, or expensive. It only cost us $20k to get another dedicated fibre line. I'd imagine most convention centers would too.

>>135711004
200 AA games player here.
Stay far back, stack and ward for your team, ALWAYS watch the minimap. Spam Ult on CD even on single kills, always carry TP so you can fight, tp back and throw ult again at heroes retreating.
Rush Agah with your assist monies, or Midas then Aghs if you can.
If you get aghs you can snipe lowhp supports from base by having good wards or guessing where they are, like neut camps. Use the 1400 range cold feet on channeling heroes or enemy carry in fights.
