I found the new Pitlord fine to play. Hes a great supporter and the damage output on Rain of Fire is ridiculous early on.

beta beta updated what it do?

Deadly · 12:05 AM

Just played a game where Ursa was like 9-0 at start and we then lost EVERYTHING but the bot section of base but we managed to comeback and win. On one hand it's because the other team was too stupid to buyback (I doubt they were lacking the money) during each encounter but feels good man.

I was pretty certain we were going to lose but teammates said we still had a chance. Nice to be proven wrong in cases like this.

No idea, no changelog posted. Wasn't a very big update though.

The server and client are now running on v21, some of the files/subtitles/voscripts for the custom announcers have gone and there are now two sets of default announcer files, "announcer" and "announcer_kill_spree".

Pudge courier is awesome.

JustinBB7 · (03-01-2012, 01:28 AM)

I was thinking that they would do this in the test client, release updates throughout the week with no changelog whenever they want. Simply because they can because it's just a test client.

Then test that out and port it over to stable every week. Since they can't update the stable one continuously. Will be interesting to see how this will work out since it only just started.

My team was getting rolled by Pugna, Dark Seer, Morph, Sand King and Vengeful.

I was Death Prophet. I had Pipe,Shiva's,22 stacks on my Bloodstone, and was on my way to Scythe.

I was tanky as fuck and they didn't even bother to come in with my ult on.

So fun. I love Death Prophet.

Artanisix · (03-01-2012, 03:25 AM)

The last inhouse was REALLY good imo (where 109 played Death Prophet and I played Sand King). Nice comebacks and back-and-forth action, great job by Radiant, we pulled through and won at the end :D

No thanks to my feeding as BH. Really I played a terrible midgame and made tons of bad decisions. I have to stop playing super aggressively haha.

Ebay. The higher rank you are the more people are willing to pay for it apparently. I also had lots of avatars.

LOL

Just want to stack that attack speed and strength. The movement speed would be nice too.

That's one option another one I was thinking was a Armlet + Vangaurd instead of the Sange & Yasha and constantly have the Armlet on.

The_Player · 07:21 AM

Guys, I can't stand it anymore. 6 losses in a row. I already forgot how victory tastes.

upd: A WIN. FINALLY. 53 minutes. I thought we are going to lose at first.

lol nice. About 2 weeks ago I had something like a 13 game losing streak, so damn frustrating but I just kept playing on.

that game was a riot to spectate. i kept assuming one side had pulled ahead for good only to watch their lead crumble under the enemy's mid tower. over and over.

and those were some fun neverending last stands on our team's part in those later two games, the second one especially. we made them pry top rax out of our cold, dead hands.

Haly · (03-01-2012, 08:04 AM)

Should just rename it to Sanjay and Yasha.

One game in original Dota I decided to try out Power Treads on Ursa. I didn't hear the end of it. The whole 40 > minute game I was called names and cursed to the deepest hell. Even the opposing team joined in the fun when my teammates made them aware of it.
What made it worse was that we actually lost. I did just fine but it didn't matter to anyone. The whole loss was still blamed on me.

I do always go phase on him but it's funny how open minded Dota community is on trying new things.

Only thing i noticed is that Anti-Mage got a new name in the lore, he is now called Manandha, not Magina. I dont understand why, dont think the Magina name has copyright issues, myabe frog was tired of people calling him Mangina.

Togglesworlh · (03-01-2012, 10:16 AM)

because magina is a horrible name

pieatorium · 10:25 AM

Magina is too much like mangina

edit: eh kinda derp response by me but I really hate that name

Crub · (03-01-2012, 10:42 AM)

I hope they make the headcrab from Half-Life a courier too. Would so buy that.

Wouldn't look too out of place either.

people just pronounce it wrong, its "majeena", not "majaina".

Togglesworlh · (03-01-2012, 12:02 PM)

don't make it none less awful

Lirlond · (03-01-2012, 12:15 PM)

So they went with Ananda? well Manandha. People were throwing that name around quite a bit. Something to do with buddhism.

I really don't see the problem going Power Treads or Phase on him, all depends on the heroes in the game and the item build you want to make for that in mind.

I agree, it misread to me like that at first.

Ananda sounds cool. I think they should list off alias's under character names so new players know what I'm talking about when I say someone's name. I barely say shadow shaman instead of rhasta and sometimes I say trax instead of drow.
