I sent you a PM asking for a screenshot of the courier ingame.

The first Ethereal Speed Demon that showed up in the market went for 45 keys. I haven't seen that many floating around since then so price is nowhere near stable, but it'll most likely end up at around 40, considering Courier tier and Effect tier.

I'm not sure what color is yours, but I'd take a Pink/Light Blue Ethereal Demon for sure.

Earthshaker, Invoker. Any kind of huge damage AoE because all her late game scaling comes from illusions.

Naga isn't really a hero you counter but a hero you pick to counter others.

I'm still trying to wrap my mind around the fact riki has 23 cs in a 48minute game.
edit: seeing a sf on a winning team under 400 gpm makes me want to fucking die.

Where exactly are you picturing this odd man out, on the other side of the map? There's room to dance within the Song without eating an Ensnare, and depending on the hero involved (say it's your blink initiator, or some other utility hero who might be found out during the Song duration and focused as soon as it ends), avoiding the sleep effect might turn out to be quite valuable.

But sue me for thinking about measures that aren't the entire team just standing there uselessly and taking it. Clearly this warrants your naked sarcasm.

As Milk said, it's moot if she gets within Ensnare range anyway. There's really no point wasting Purge charges on a Repelled target (barring Ensnare being on cooldown).

That's definitely worth a lot. How much, I don't know, but the color is distinctive and stands out inside the game making it worth quite a bit. Being on a newer/rarer courier only helps.

I usually don't get mad at newbies but that was pretty bad. There was no reason to use her ult at all. I mean, I cannot think of why you would use it, unless you thought it worked like Tide's ult, which can be used whenver. We were already doing poorly against their tryhard lineup. Had we won that fight we might've had a small chance of winning (or at least, losing less horribly), but by losing it our chances went from 0.0001% to 0.0000%.

I wish Naga came with a warning on her ult, I really do. Someone needs to write a guide on how to use it. It's something that requires extreme awareness and judgement, because it's so wide and its effect is so drastic. If you use it, you better have a really good reason to.

Does anyone know what a 4 line level performance, whatever it is, Axe would be?

He is my most played hero and it's only sitting at 2.5. I don't really care what line i'm at, I'm just curious as to what style of play gets you high on the performance ranking as Axe.

I doubt my ranking is going to improve after running around with a mjollnir and attempting to get a daedalus on him.

Probably KD, KDA and farm, simply: I just got almost full bars (i'm more than 4/5 on the last bar) with Templar Assassin, i'm 4-1 and i was always the one with the highest gpm, KD, KDA in every game except the one i lost in which even a guy in my team had 30 gpm more than me.

Yeah, it sucks as a support.

I got two summer chests and unlocked two wheel of fortitudes. Both my friends who got chests also got the wheel.

I'm glad I tried them out, but uncrating really isn't my thing. Will just stick with straight up buying things from now on.
