you realize how ineffective that would be:
"guys, why is there two anti-mages on the map"
"morphing using his ultimate again I guess, where are you anti-mage?"
"I'm top in our jungle"
"okay" *whole team kills bottom anti-mage*
best ultimate ever.

I think an ultimate like that would only work on people who aren't paying attention to the minimap.

Soooo, 90% of pubs?
What if you could morph into a creep?

Didn't even think about parasite. Fuck that guy.
I was thinking more along the lines of having to run with the creep wave to get someone off guard. Not "Oh shit jungle creeps are coming for us".
N'aix:
New Witch Doctor model:
Old Witch Doctor fits the character better. The only good model/portrait changes so far are Tide and Lion. Anti Mage I am fine with either.
Support:
Lich, Lion, Necrolyte
Carry:
Anti-mage, Drow Ranger, Juggernaut, Riki
Ganker:
Nightstalker, Tiny, Tidehunter
this makes me mad
I hope we get surprise Techies.
Also I hope they are still goblins. The concept of the Techies fit goblin archetypes too well for them not to be.
Update was last night and just added saving/loading of custom games, with Dreamhack this weekend they don't want to mess around with the game. Hopefully we get a big update next week, would love to see some of the Learn features added.
It likely worked better in dota pubs when there was no built in voice chat, since you would also be able to use the enemy text chat. The whole point was to cause confusion.
I played my first game ever as pudge last night and went 6/3/12, we were winning, but the servers went down when we were pushing for victory.
If your playing against reasonably competent players, pudge's difficulty ramps up like crazy. Its easy when your playing against noobs who dont know how to deal with you, stuff like breaking your ulti or just not getting hooked in dumb places (hiding behind creeps and not staying still etc).
As soon as people stop being dumb, you have to start being really smart and pull off really big hooks and ganks. Ie; be Milkman good.

Heroes that are added don't get put into the CM pool for a week, so adding N'aix wouldn't really affect Dreamhack, that's if they only added N'aix and not any balance changes though.
Mana management, knowing which heroes to prioritize ult with, positioning yourself for damaging and healing the highest number of people, he's a really hard hero, a new person won't be able to maximize skill-less farming early in order to maintain mana when a fight occurs, they'll just blow it all on creep waves and constantly be useless when that gank from mid comes.
This is actually not as good as you'd think, once N'aix jumps into a creep it's so obvious which he's in by the creeps movement, and if it's not, the enemy team will just clear the entire creep wave, you'd just assume that this enemy / allied creep moving abnormally is an ulted Morphling.
Huh? Pudge is one of the hardest heroes to play effectively, he is entirely based on the players ability to hit a skill-shot, if you can't, you have to hope you get lucky that every rune is invisibility or haste so you can set-up your ult, a pudge that can't hit a hook is in fact a detriment to your team as he may hook allies that are about to kill someone etc.

Is it me or there isn't mouse sensitivity in the options? What's the console command for that?
I think it uses the Windows default.

You get flesh stacks retroactively, level it at lv 8~10 for easy +20 str bro.
It's the BYOC today, and they got keys for entering so I wouldn't expect much.
Put "-noforcemaccel" in your launch options without the quotes to disable the in game mouse sensitivity.
Makes so much sense.

I noticed the increase in Riki picks a little over a week ago, gets kind of annoying.
You did fine bro. We just had some bad plays that snowballed.
Edit: Also, I apologize if I ever come off as being bossy or bitchy in Mumble. I can get salty in the heat of the moment but at the end of the day it is just a silly game and the best thing you can get outside of winning is experience.

jesus christ the bots are terrible. Tried playing windrunner to get the hang of shackleshot, fucking garbage AI on both teams. My teammates were neuting woods while I was trying to push, one of them got a deso after i got mine, and basically fail all around. My team lost two sets of barracks by sitting in well instead of defending, or going to the other team 1 by 1. The other team had 70 kills compared to our 35, but they lost because they couldn't be arsed to defend their shrine from the mega creeps we had got in one lane 15 minutes earlier. They had two sets down and were basically well greifing (who's fucking idea was to add that behaviour) while their own shrine lost both towers and was destroyed.
fix ur bots valve.
