I'm not abusive, but people mis-understand my humor and report me. I told a guy yesterday, he better 'knock off that stuff gruff, I'm gonna pop your mouth open with a crowbar and feed ya some lead'. I told him that he'd better listen up or I was going to slap him around the block a bit with a water bucket, and that he'd better straighten up or I'd made his body stiff as a board, and then break it in half with my fist. He reported me. Everyone reports me. My freedom of speech was fun while it lasted.

Secret as a team is still pretty weak, especially offlane/Bulba & Puppey.
That shit needs to get resolved first thing.
meawhile PLD keeps enabling RTZ to perform in teamfights and in securing farm by saving his ass, dude is playing good dota, him and RTZ probably the best performing players based on the entire qualifier run.

>>146759857
Bulba and Puppey looked fine in the second day of quals, they are figuring it out
The dual lanes they are doing are really punishing the strats in meta right now, other teams need to address it
>>146759857

Thank you for your criticism. My MMR is actually 4k! Crazy, right? hahah! I do realize that I farm really little, but it seemed like everyone already took the camps, know what I mean? Super happy that I finished my challenge though, and I even got three stars! See you guys in my next BLOG.

>>146760445
Got the Bloodthorn for challenge, but it works surprisingly well vs Windranger and Weaver. Without his linkens, he'd die instantly if I got to silence him. But of course, Bloodthorn is still a shit 7k item countered by every dispel in the game. I also farm pretty crappily as Clinkz, running around and looking for kills like a 2k.
Clinkz right now is not too bad, but literally every hero in the game can dodge a gank from him by just walking into some trees, ez. His attack point is retardedly long, so he has to stand still to kill, which is stupid. Feels like a crappy, even squishier version of Riki or Slark desu.
What will Omni go for this game?
>>146760631
No, was unranked, I got 4k, played 6 games and won/lost/won/lost so I just played unranked. It is VHS though, so don't worry. I don't farm enough, but the Bloodthorn was only for challenge, otherwise I'd have gotten a Scythe.

F5 is paid to throw.
6.88 is the best patch in the history of dota.
It enables most heroes and all kinds of strategies.
This is a fact and there is no arguing to it.
>>146759530
That's pretty much the whole idea behind it.
>farm 2 camps
Don't sell your iron talon. You'll still be farming jungle from time to time. Give the lanes to your support/carry/mid

The game is over before you can even get your items
Who would win between a 12 slotted Lone Druid with a Wisp versus a Medusa-Omniknight in a 2 hour long game?
>>146761708
Man you are stupid as fuck if you think F5 is going to lose. It is 25 minutes and ESC haven't even come close to breaching the high ground. 10 more minutes and this game is over.
>>146761865
Damage?
Illidan's doing it
>>146761924
Medusa Omni. Not because of any 2v2 matchups, but because the bear dies fast as fuck in any kind of serious lategame.
Illidans keeping up his farm quite well considering desu.
This time last year I'd expect him to have half this networth in a game like this.
>>146761980
the worst shit is that if f5 win people will say that linkens is good on medusa again

He is still far from Lone Druid and Timber in networth.
>>146762047
Eh, LS+Repel+her mana and hp pool make her a bitch to kill now
>>146761956
it all depends on whether he gets caught out without buyback or not. he goes down once, F5 loses.
>>146762047
but linkens is good on medusa you hipster ass 4k gamer
imagine a manta refresher medusa with aghs morph, kotl and disruptor
all those illusions with splitshot would own
heard reddit think terrorblade is op, just three words for that
not a chance
Illidan is going for MKB instead of Yasha

no, its MKB because of the radiance miss
>>146762082
Except pros don't defend it.
Even Black says manta linkens is shit and situational. I honestly think it should be one or the other depending on enemy team comp with rate situations to get both.
>bzz
>>146762427
>Black

pick one?
dusa could have phase aquilla mom rapier and another 3k right now
at 14200 he'd ahve his full bkb and will be a literal god and his omni could repel someone else
instead he has manta linkens
>medusa's only damage is her mystic snake
lel
but do you know what is the SHIT on DusaBlademail
why medusa buy linken?
This hero does literally no fucking damage
WHERE IS THE DAMAGE?
>muh 15k net worth difference doesnt matter
retards
>pick memeniknight and medusa
>lose
Illidan is going to buy rapier then they hold highground for some time into F5 victory
When will timbershit removed from the game? Laning against this fucker is disaster.
>>146762514
Because if you're actually a threat you will just get nuked

>>146762472
Tell me the winrate of linkens+manta diffusal first dusa's in competitive.
I wanna bet it's utter shit.
I always see this shit and these people lose games because they do NO DAMAGE.
You're in the club and this overpowered piece of shit slaps your support's ass. How do you counter him?

>>146762941
They don't.
They only do damage based off base damage.
Manta does dogshit damage unless you're a stat building hero/illusion hero like TB or CK, it's for utility and being slippery.
why is EE playing mid now guys?

>>146763469

he will wipe them all if he is allowed to keep hitting them

We are in for the long run
>>146763424
>increase your farming capabilities
>+15 dmg for 5000gold
REEEEEEEEEEE
>>146763262
the point of early tank items on medusa is to guarantee that you can farm all game while your team desperately tries to not lose the game until 50+ minutes when you actually start building damage and then wreck everyone with split shot
it looks like it might work this game, but maybe timber's too OP
>>146763424
but they both give you worse stats than shit like skadi and you've already got splitshot which is great for farming
so instead of getting literally no damage you can just get damage which makes you farm faster anyway

Nice game, dotards
Fucking hell I think ESC have a big ass problem
Escape let this drag on too long
>>146763612
manta illusion can crit thouigh you fucking idiot, the reason they do less damage is b/c they only do 28 percent not because it only uses stats
Tobi had a ministroke right now, right?
>>146763545
its +15 dmg and 15 stats, which is 30 dmg and 15 attack speed, plus the mana and mana regen which allow you to spam mystic snake.
muh farming and stat efficiency
Man, does only Alliance know how to deal with these turtling lineups? Like come on, you've got a timbersaw, a wisp and a fucking lone druid, why do you keep trying to fight them 5v5

do you actually believe damage from rapiers is added to illusions in any way?
are you actually that brain damaged?

why dont you buy 5 rapeirs on PL and 1 shot anything you see buddy
>>146763957
But its truth, illusions can do dmg only from heroes base dmg.
>>146763816
No wonder NA is in shambles with a player base like that
>>146764082
Picking Medusa makes the game like that by default
we're approaching burning level farm on the bear now
>>146763816
illus gain the DPS increase from crit, but absolutely NOTHING from ANYTHING apart from base dmg, aka agility in this case.
LITERALLY
no
exception
Honestly Merlinis casual casting is by far my favourite.
>>146763957
Sorry dude you're actually retarded and willfully being ignorant
fuck off
>>146764080
because it's two of them
and most of the damage for ilu heroes comes from agi
so you basically have
great stats + more mobility + a purge + two ilus that combined do over half your damage
who said it was just about the ilus retard?
Who /snek/ here?
So how does ESC throne F5?
>>146764080
to split push farm
to disjoint projectiles
to dispell debuffs
very few heroes buy it for the damage from the illusions
Which icons have animated icons?
