I like Tobi. Plus, how can you not have the guy be a caster when his fucking voice is in the game and is the highest tier of chat wheel voices?

It makes KOTL "WOAW" Guy not being invited even weirder though.

waow was by LD

• great caster
• has most memorable quotes
• helped new casters get in the scene by not hogging all the big games for himself (like tobi)
• casted the best grand finals of all time, and made it better with his casting
• casted the The Play and people quote him to this day
• is not a racist asshole

meanwhile, tobi is remembered for shouting its a disaster in a stupid high pitched voice...any other quotes ?

I don't understand why Valve continues to hire Tobi. He's a hype caster for sure, and it definitely works, but he has a pattern of racism in the past. I'm surprised they haven't called him an ass and no longer worked with him.

Do you have any other example of Tobi being racist? Yeah, that one incident was absolutely terrible, but I don't see how it is an example of a pattern of racism.

I'm pretty sure once Valve reveals that HL3 exists as a new, f2p campaign in Dota 2, the thread will move a bit quicker.

is there any predictions by analysts out there?

I really like Tobi, his cast is one of the reasons i got into the game.

Woaw was LD? I had no idea. He is a great caster and you will have no argument from me.

I enjoy Tobi's shout-casting and as for him being racist, he apologised profusely almost immediately afterwards and nothing in his behaviour since then has even implied that it was anything more than a very tasteless joke. Calling him a straight up racist seems a bit OTT.

 

[Monochromaticx]

yeah that was OTT.

Invoker, Pudge, Sniper.

Ech. Why did they even get so far.

ALL IN ON RUBICK.

*EDIT* Fucking Artour lmao.

 

[misses bull]

what if the arcana affects flesh heap and the more flesh heap stacks he gets the more the arcana changes

that would be fucking rad

 

[Hylian7]

Putting all my votes on Rubick.

 

[W1SSY]

VOTE RUBICK YOU FOOLS

All votes on Rubick but I expect Pudge to win. Maybe Rubick gets an arcana in the compendium next year.

 

[Fuchsdh]

Sigh. Have to go with Rubick, just because even if it's the model he's always been since WC3 Pudge is still a stitched-up meat sack zombie, and I ain't down with that.

 

[Quesa]

Cool people vote Rubick.

The Dota community at large is not cool though.

 

[traveler]

My number 1 pick for an Arcana period made the finals! Let's do this! All in on Rubick.

pudge is the iconic dota hero. He deserves the arcana more than anyone

 

[Red UFO]

like arteezy said, rubick pickers are fucking dipshits

 

[Monochromaticx]

how are rubick pickers more dipshit that pudge pickers ?
pudge pickers, they pick first and place their marker mid, they lose mid or leave it to "gank" only to fail and let the other mid free farm
or
they pick pudge last and roam, despite the team comp, then fail at doing anything. then he types something in russian.
or
the pudge fountain fishes your ass (when you are losing) and prelongs the game 5-10 more minutes.

voting pudge now

4 the boys

I gotta disagree with that. A bad Pudge on your team makes the game unplayable. Hooking in Earthshakers and Tidehunters and forgetting to ult them, hooking teammates that are about to get a kill and missing all other essential hooks.
With a bad Rubick you can at least play around him being useless and just ignore him.

Spoiler

Unless there is a Pudge on the other team and he steals the hook...

In other news, they added Tinker to Titanfall 2 since i last played. My new favourite titan!

 

[Sibylus]

Voted Rubick, like any individual with taste.

 

[52club]

Vote for the ultimate troll hero for your own team, or vote for the ultimate troll hero for your opponents. Seems about right...

Ever since i encountered the brown boots first offlane aghs rush rubbick, i have had an intense disdain for rubick pickers.

I actually like the hero and have 100 percent wr with him..its just anything that enables retards must be stamped out.

On the scale of "enabling trash players" Rubick is pretty damn low on the list, though.

(I say as I lose a game because a guy picked Legion for an offlane, and then decided to jungle instead leaving me as Treant solo.)

You could replace Rubick with and hero in your story though.

Pudge actually has an ability that can grief teammates.

 

[Tart Toter 9k]

We can all hope that the Invoker pickers are salty about losing to Pudge and that Sniper pickers dislike Pudge. Although I have a strong feeling that there is a huge overlap between Pudge and Invoker players.

Edit: What's this about agha rush offlane Rubick? I've never seen that before. What mmr and region has players doing that?
