[Mr Touchdown]

Just had my first game as gyrocopter and he is a lot of fun. Easy to farm with, especially with Vlads, decent stun, but biggest issue is his delayed attacks. I do play a bit of Kunkka so used it it.

Would recommend to anyone starting out the game.

Vlads... Wut?

 

[Archie]

Merlini is a pretty good streamer. He explains his decisions while he's playing.

This.
He's a great teacher for beginners or experienced players alike.

 

[PatzCU]

If I only had 1 blue in mine will it look super lame? Might have to go snooping around for a few more essences.

 

[BannedEpisode]

My Greedy Greevil is a cutie pie.

Too bad he isnt unusual.

 

[Vilifier]

Those purple Greevils look amazing. My greedy (Green) Greevil turned out great too, it has glowing green eyes and the grass effect wherever it goes.

I enjoyed the diretide event and received so many item drops for my fav characters such as Drow and Tidehunter.

 

[elmariachi]

Vlads... Wut?

Team item, no one else got it so took one for the team.

 

[injurai]

I just played an even lower tier game as Dark Seer. I did nothing right.

Our Axe couldn't see colors and bought a second courier.

Shit was bad. Real bad.

what did you do to get in such a low tier?

 

[Dreams-Visions]

the new family members.

Spoiler

crack head naked is easily my favorite. lol

 

[inky]

I didn't have much time to play after the first day, so mine is just a regular courier with no colors/effects, and due to that is the rarest of them all

 

[Uriah]

Update broke the abandon system.

 

[Tomat]

what did you do to get in such a low tier?

As far as MMing goes, I'm still pretty much new. I've been carried to a most of my victories by the higher tier players in here.

 

[bzm]

I really need to stop playing support for pubs.

 

[Sgt.Pepper]

Update broke the abandon system.

Yep.
Bzm, play support as carry. Desodazzle ftw.

 

[Deadly]

Update broke the abandon system.

what happens?

 

[Artanisix]

I really need to stop playing support for pubs.

you can support me any day baby <3

And Slark is just as fun in a real game as I remembered. I love roaming and picking people off and Slark takes that to a whole new level.

 

[The Technomancer]

I'm fine with my more minimalist Greevils. They're cute

 

[bzm]

you can support me any day baby <3

my wisp carried ur tiny ez

Yep.
Bzm, play support as carry. Desodazzle ftw.

if im gonna support i might as well do it right bro

 

[Uriah]

what happens?

Games no longer become safe to leave.

 

[Artanisix]

Also that International documentary...

Chuan: "Don't got too powerful hero, only too powerful team." DAMN STRAIGHT.

 

[poppedcollar69]

I have a seraphic greevil that I don't much care for... would anyone want to trade an empty egg, or any other greevil for it?

 

[injurai]

You know what, I bet I'm super low tier too. Pretty much all my games I queue with other people.

 

[K.Sabot]

Naked Greevil is the best.

It honestly is.

 

[Dreams-Visions]

While these are cool, I cringe at the thought of seeing these in every game, only in different colors.

By the way:

Aura one is mine, Air is my friend's.
I had 3 Unusuals, he had 1.
Seems identical in-game.

WTF VALVE

great news. that means I won't be spending a dime more on unusual essence.

Naked Greevil is the best.

It honestly is.

my blurry naked will forever be in my backpack.

a try-hard courier for all of us try-hard Dotaers.

 

[Aesthet1c]

How are you guys building Slark? I only played a bot game and went vanguard then skadi, which seemed good, but I wanted to check if there were better options.

 

[burntchomsky]

Anyone else's dota crashing? Happens whenever i bring up my own name and look at stats.

 

[Anbokr]

second this

 

[Artanisix]

Looking at someone's dota profile = dota crash right now

 

[Sgt.Pepper]

Game is broken. You can't reconnect or leave unless you close the client.

 

[JakkuFurosu]

Had to make my first +1 on dev forums....crashed out like 3 times thought it was my pc

 

[SteveWinwood]

Looking at someone's dota profile = dota crash right now

Not for me...

 

[Drkirby]

Never really realized how good Veno was dealing with Undying's Tombstone. If you have a few wards up, they just murder the zombies as they spawn.


Also, Slark's Pounce is really good at first blooding people.

They made quite a team in Diretide.

My four couriers were green (favourite, probably), red, yellow and seraphic. Kinda wish I had left my last yellow one naked because that dude looks hilarious. Did anyone make a level 2 white egg? Wonder what that looked like.

 

[Mr Touchdown]

In my bot game, I said "fuck your recommendations". Orb of venom > Treads > Yasha > Orchid > Sange > Skadi.

You can all laugh at me now.

 

[Uchip]

put this video together today for a friend
I think its sufficiently derp

 

[Artanisix]

I prefer going PMS/Magic Stick/Treads/Drums/Skadi on Slark. I still need to try out Medallion and Diffusal again, though.

 

[la flama blanca]

1 unusual essence for 1 timebreaker now, holy shit

 

[GorillaJu]

1 unusual essence for 1 timebreaker now, holy shit

Haha waaaaat holy shit

 

[Vodh]

This whole thing makes me sad, this is exactly why I dislike Valve's item shop model. An awesome looking courier that is both ridiculously expensive by now, and unobtainable by ways other than trade since the event is over. I don't like content that's effectively locked out from me from my point of view. That's exactly what ruined TF2 for me.

Not that I don't appreciate how brilliant it is as a way of milking money from players, it's genius.

Spoiler

Yeah, I like cosmetic items in games, I buy them in moderate quantities, and it bugs me that I'd have to dish out £50 worth of keys to get a courier. I hate the randomness of the drops, hate the chests and the keys idea and most of all I hate the fact that an unenjoyable (for me) monetization strategy is killing a little bit of fun for me in a game I love and will keep playing regardless. Sue me.

I like it. It's like "legacy items" for people who've been in the game a long time. An instant signifier on who's old school or not.

 

[sorijealut]

That odd moment when the first match after DireTide is over drops you a Fearless Badger...!

 

[Tomat]

Another game as Windrunner.

And not a single power shot was landed.

 

[I H8 Memes]

Any videos or replays I could watch of black farming with anti-mage? I couldn't find any on youtube.

 

[NinjaBoyLao]

I like it too. The good thing is you can still get them through trade if you really wanted it. unlike that pos called Hand of A'dal which really bugs me because I wanted it so bad back then lol.

 

[VanillaCakeIsBurning]

Dat Slardar.

 

[K.Sabot]

Ouch, that has to be the easiest skillshot to land, too. You can even cancel the first 0.3 seconds of the animation.

 

[Fou-Lu]

Another game as Windrunner.

Ouch, I can't say I've ever had that problem, early game double kills with power shot FTW! (I main WR BTW... Lots of practice went into that...)

 

[GorillaJu]

I have played 10 games as Windrunner as won only once.

I feel you.

 

[Uchip]

Dat Slardar.

I like how I didn't even bother to help him

 

[bluemax]

Oh wow I barely put any essences into my egg and I got a blue Greevil who is an unusual mythical courier. Cool.

Edit, oh I guess that's fairly normal. Still cool but I'll probably stick to Lockjaw.
