Does PA dagger heal from vlads or octarine?

Did Fly put money on OG losing 0-2 or some shit?
Since it's on topic, I'll post the filter list I've been maintaining for a while.
Use it if you feel like it. The "discord" filter sometimes hides legitimate discussion about Veil, but I think it does more good than bad.

When miracle is playing garbage and its up to BigShitty, he fails literally EVERY time.

Fata sat at a t2 enemy tower hitting it with no team around, then walked all the way back with no bots and died again.

>>145954198
Cya in a year, when everyone will get bored of the stale cancerous dual healer meta. Blizzard is going to have to dump A LOT of cash to keep this turd alive.
>>145954703
The only reason they won that game was notail playing good while miracle played like pub trash.
>>145954659
its almost like OG drafted push heavy so they could do exactly that
>>145954732
good phase shift
>>145954732
It's a shitty Phase Shift

>>145954663
Liquid is dead. Long live Liquid.
>>145954732
5 second disruption and decent damage. Synergizes nicely with other team fight ults and low cool down and mana cost means it's spammable. It's not the strongest ult in the game but it serves quiet well as a utility skill.
>esl dota in one screen
>dreamhack tf2 in the other
When has he ever been good past early game?
Hes picked constantly, does amazing early game, then he falls off like a rock come mid-late game.
>>145954849
>Competitive tf2
ayyyyyyyyy
>>145954732
bad Omnislash
it's a "guys remember when riki was played like a carry" relic
>Nahaz
kill me
>>145954859
People spend too much time roaming. Then they realize they don't have Shuriken to deal damage without farm. And lose.
to win best of 3
pick Terrorblade
even nahaz's tie is obnoxious
>>145954859
Smoke is still a top tier ability even in late game so it's not like he's ultra useless. The innate Invis is enough to make him super useful and honestly I think that dust needs to cost like, 100g. Shit is way too expensive.
>>145954859
He still has the cloud which is a goodStaticStorm.
Other than that he's almost always picked with Lifestealer, and he's a good infest target.
I think at this State Liquid cant defeat OG. I think after the TI when Liquid drops out already in the first round of the Loser Bracket they will kick Kuroky BECAUSE HIS DRAFT FUCKING SUCKS
Hey guys! Some dota2showerthoughts here. Slarks keeps on saying "I haven't spawned yet". For fish, spawning is the act of depositing eggs or sperm. What if Slark is actually whining about dying a virgin. Slark's last thoughts upon death are about dying a virgin. Sort of explains why he has all those rapey lines.
What do you guys think?
>>145954859
wtf are you smoking
riki has some fucking garbage early game
melee creeps have 20 base damage 550 hp, riki has 40 base damage 540 hp, he's the lowest stats of any melee hero, he's literally melee creep: the hero
riki scales mid/lategame when he gets his diffusal / blink / cleave and shits all over everyone, but his early game is fucking dog tier, even spectre is better
>m-m-muh invisi
rofl countered by 90-100 gold items
and once you dust riki, he's a 246 movespeed melee creep
>>145954732
nonicefrog decided to add generic aoe ability to a hero that is focused on high single target damage.
Eventually all heroes are going to be, one disable one gap closer, one damage ability/spameable nuke and 1 aoe or single target ult
>>145954815
what are you trying to say here?
or are you just mad you didn't get carried?
Where were you when Liquid was kill?
>>145954927
i remember that time he was wearing a paisley tie half as wide as himself i straight up stopped watching dota for 2 months after that
>master tier lol player is 2.5k mmr in dota
>>145954859
He really needs to be completely reworked because it just doesn't work. He's a shitty carry and a shitty roamer.
>>145954989
thanks reddit spy but you have to go back
>>145954859
Riki is a vehicle for Naix and literally nothing else.
>>145955004
-t. 2k mmr riki main
Based Liquid showing "weakness" on purpose. They know that this is a honeypot lan and don't want the biggest target on their backs for the upcoming TI
Will Riki ever be a good core?
He's been shit for years and years and when he's finally good, he's good as a fucking support.
>>145955027
former lol pro that got the highest rank was like 2.8 after calibrating
he mained broodmother and was autistic as fuck
>>145955035
What? Says who
>>145955073
1/10 made me reply
how small is bamboe lmao
fucking manlets I swear
>>145955004
What?
From watching pros play, he seems pretty good early game, not because of him personally, but his aid to team fights, ganks, and ward placements in enemy jungles.
>>145954989
i think you're lost, you should go back to redd.it
>>145955080
why does he have to be a good core ? are you that insecure that you only play core ? small dick problems maybe ?
What if Riki's ult affected creeps?
>>145955113
>former lol pro
TheRainMan was pro for like less than a year and he sucked, doesn't really count.
>>145955080
he was amazing for like 2 weeks when his ult worked on creeps but reddit cant let him be good since i bet the 2k shitters kept losing to him in pubs so they changed it quickly
stream muted
Why are there so many reddicucks here?
Every single one complaining about the deleted thread is a butthurt redditor acting like he belongs here. No different from mudslimes entering EU.

So this is Dota...
>>145955195
yeah twitch gonna ban ESL
>>145954859
His niche got deleted
he was that hero you helped the laning stage to then keep the other team at bay. Any support and underleveled hero that roamed was food for him which meant the other team couldn't farm
Since deaths and laning don't matter anymore he became worthless.
Same deal with a ton of heroes like Chen Luna Kotl Sky Undying etc

That evasion/disjoint quest is bullshit. You either evade a bunch of hits in a losing fight or you get your crit procs and the fight is fucking over.

HOLY FUCK Zai didn't deserve to lose this game, he played 1v9.
>>145955585
Hallo ich heisse Pierre
Ich wohne in Paris
RIKI REWORK:
-Backstab: bonus damage from behind etc
-Blink: blink behind unit and free attack etc
-Smokescreen: unchanged
Ultimate: Toggle over 3 passives:
1- Cloack & Dagger- riki is invisible while not moving, no fade time
2- Invisiwalk- riki has perma invisibility but with fade time 6/4/2
3- Dead ringer- If Riki was going to die while this is active, instead turns invisible and invulnerable at 1 hp for 7.5 seconds, during this time riki can't attack or use other skills/items. The enemies receive gold and xp and see riki as dying normally, but after 15 seconds the same xp and gold is removed (unless all gold is already spent)
>>145955518
Prove it.
>>145955503
I feel like that's kind of unrealistic for Broodmother though.
Maybe it's just me but every brood game is like dusts constantly getting popped in lane. The amount of opportunities to take advantage of that evasion from the poison's miss chance are kind of slim early game because the supports have to flee from you and don't get a chance to right click, even some carries have the similar issue.
>>145955625
TI5 era of VP was so good, I miss that roster
>>145955625
Zai is one of the best players in the world and is a literal Dota genius. I think EG will get carried by him through the qualifiers.
>>145955576

Phoenix turns games around every single time. Watch phoenix will be picked
>>145955195
there is a popular camgirl that literally flashed her pussy like 3 times "by accident" and she didnt get banned
you have to understand that rules only apply to people that dont bring twitch lots of money

i miss her already ;_;
>>145955645
HOW TO FIX RIKI IN 6.89:
>Base damage from 38-42 to 48-52
>Agility gain from +2.2 to +2.8
>Cloak & Dagger now adds its damage directly to rikis attacks and thus can be critically striked / cleaved.
>Smoke Screen now slows turn speed. Rikimaru is no longer revealed from invisibility while attacking inside Smoke Screen.
>Blink Strike cast time from 0.3 to 0.1
>Smoke Screen cast time from 0.4 to 0.1
>Cloak and Dagger fade time from 6/5/4/3 to 5/4/3/2
>Tricks of the Trade removed and replaced with a new skill: Backstab
Backstab:
>Ultimate, Enemy Target
>75 Mana Cost, 20 Cooldown, 200 cast range
>Rikimaru attempts to catch an enemy unawares and stab them in the back, dealing critical damage and stunning them if successful
>Deals a 4x / 5x / 6x critical strike and stuns for 2.0 / 2.5 / 3.0 seconds
>Takes 1.5 seconds of cast time. If the enemy turns to face you during this time, the spell is wasted and does only a single normal attack with no critical strike or stun.
>>145955645
>3- Dead ringer
that's incredibly dumb

Either go to a cougar bar (the website Yelp can help you find them) or make a Tinder account but bump your age so you're within the late 20's to mid 30's range.
There's a lot of single women in the western world who hit that pre-menopause horny level and will certainly jerk you off while you fondle them and more because they're undersexed and work in a business sector where they don't have a lot of spare time to form relationships/go on dates.
This is all of course assuming you're not unhygienic or obese.

>>145955794
But it only counts hero attacks, not the spiderlings.
Still Brood vs PA would be an ass lane for PA.

so after TI
naix will go jungle?
