I wonder how Abaddon will look. Will they stick to something similar to Arthus? Or will they change him to be more angel like as the name implies? Could add a bunch of rival lines for doom that way.
 
I dunno about Lich, I just found him really boring to learn with, even if he is the "safe" hero to learn. I'd recommend someone who's completely new try out Tidehunter or maybe Viper
 
Turn omniknight's hair white.

Give him a horse.

Abbadon.
 
Abaddon+Batrider is most annoying and funniest to watch lane in WC2 DotA and I can't wait to see those two do their thing in DotA 2. So much kill potential and when those two teamed up, they are almost ungankable.
 
Cold discussion and all, but I can't say I'm entirely surprised at Tobi's... antics. Dude has toed the line for a long while, but I guess I was mistaken in thinking he was above acting like a complete unwashed slob. Where's that Hercules disappointment gif when one needs it.
 
I think I'm getting good with Invoker, I can cycle through 8-9 skills within team fights with awesome results... however from time to time I feel I need MOAR skills ahaha

I wish you could pick the old Invoker, who had 27 skills (!!) and you had to cast them in the exact order of Quas Wex Exort recipe:

BTW if that's not enough, on W3 Dota legacy hotkeys, each skill is assigned to a different key on the keyboard :P
 
During and in the wake of the International, I feel like Tobi's casting has generally fallen off - or, I've gotten irritated enough by some of his tantrums it's started to affect my perception of his casting.

Either way, I enjoy him less now than I used to.

The most ironic thing is Tobi complaining about the level of play when he's absolutely terrible at the game: yesterday i think he was saying that Dendi on QoP dropped some items just to bait Singsing into trying to destroy them when he was actually just using bottle efficiently which is stuff that even a mid level player should know, let alone the biggest english caster in the scene.

Also if i want to hear singsing talk i'm gonna tune in on his stream, i don't get if Tobi thinks he's funny or something when he keeps using his phrases.
I agree entirely with you both. Really disappointed to see what happened earlier today - definetely not something I'd want from someone who is so well-known to the public Dota 2 crowd.

That looks amazing.. hnng

I had heard that he once had 27 spells based on the different permutations of the combos, but I'd never seen the list before. And people think he's OP now.
 
Tobi has shown again and again that he is a child. He does not deserve any support from any fanbase or even from valve.

We should try to steal Day9.

It's kinda getting to that point for me as well. For all his enthusiasm for the game, his ego and his worst qualities are beginning to run out of check.

And depending on how long Valve decides to support Dota 2, we could perhaps steal some skin cells and clone ourselves a Dota2Day9!
 
I'm confused here, does Enigma move at 290 or 295? He complains that he walks up at 290, then ups his movement speed by 5 to 295. I don't know what to believe anymore.

According to Dota2 wiki it's 300. If you zoom in a bit you can see it's 300 when KR selects Enigma after the ult.

I guess he's still active, two new videos from August and October respectively.

Russian Fantasy Land

KingRaven builds two Divine Rapiers.

I remember there was some blogpost that someone wrote that was titled something like why we would never get a day9-equivalent for dota
 
What did Tobi do?

What doesn't he do? He seems to constantly be in hot water. I remember one time he typed n-word in a game. I really wonder if Valve is trying to disassociate themselves with him a bit, he didn't get to cast the finals in The International. Valve really needs to put their foot down when it comes to cleaning up the community.

He didnt get to cast the finals cause he bitched and decided to do his own thing instead of casting the games Valve assigned him during TI2

As much as i support any people chastising tobi for being a jackass, nothing will change until tournaments stop using him as a shoutcaster and people stop watching the things he casts.
 
I know it's affects me more because I'm low tier, but did Zeuses Ultimate and Snipers everything really need a buff? If you have an Aghanim's Scepter you can practically play Zeus from your own fountain.

Edit: And why slow down all of the boots. Dota 2 is already a slow moving game. It makes no sense if everyone is going to have boots anyway.
 
Enemy heroes.

But honestly, that trueshot aura nerf makes drow seem even worse.

At least it seems like a nerf.

Also, WHY THE FORCE STAFF NERF?

It's 50 gold cheaper, but 50% less enticing.

Because Icefrog has a thing against items being good on every hero, even though such items arent really affecting balance or items builds on heroes with restrictive item builds (its usually the skills and stats that do that)

lol Zeus is weak as shit in lane, farms like shit and is easy to gank. He only provides nuke. So he better be better at nuking if he ever wants to be picked (since it seems Icefrog doesnt want to address his weakness as a means of buffing).
 
Jakiro
- Ice Path creation delay increased from 0.4 to 0.5
- Ice Path manacost increased from 75 to 90

cya jak

lol

Nope Jakiro is still amazing but nerfs to ice path were needed. It cost too little and did too much.
