awesome. one more pumpkin and i get a free pumpkin!

also i have 3 quas and 1 wex. ill trade for commons if anyone wants.
 
So, since Reverse Captain's Mode is confirmed, I think we should try reviving IHL using that. Mostly, because its impossible to get mad at and is usually just a lot more and laid back. I feel IHL fell because people would just get mad at eachother.

Thoughts?

IHL went under because the skill disparity is too large. Good players with a bad team can still stomp bad players with a bad team.
 
YO I GOT A BLUE EGG, WHAT'S THAT MEAN?

P.S: Someone trade me diretide keys for Hitman: Blood Money.
 
I believe Unusuals -> Dark, or Dark -> Unusuals is bugged atm and is going to be fixed, so I would hold off on doing anything with those until later on. I don't remember which of the two.. so avoid either just to be safe I guess
Yea I those 2 are just sitting in my Inv for the moment, dunno what to do with them, I kinda wanna trade Em all of that for a mythical baby rosh. I mean if by some miracle someone did do that I would still flip flop like a fish out of water.
 
You dont get a gold baby roshan for beating the record once, you get it for holding the record when the cycle finishes.

I also dont understand how axe was killing people (plural). His CD is... well I dont know but the current record is 5 seconds. Did he have a refresher? :P

he used it on me once after aoe, then on SS same sceneario, and I'm pretty sure he did it on another guy

well shit
 
Slark is great, one of my old favorites. He's the definition of snowball hero. Has some hardcore weaknesses and I feel like he needs some buffs, but he's a lot of fun if you can get over how squishy he can be. Crazy mobility roaming ganker.

Kuroky used to own hardcore with Slark in scrims in conjunction with Omniknight.
 
The hell is up with his ult. Can't break invisibility if he attacks?

Oh, yeah, and the regen and ms bonus of his ulti are actually passive, so as long as you're not seen by enemies you have those even without activating the ulti.
 
That's correct ksan. His passives will expire under an observer ward, so he can detect where your wards are at. Smoke will allow him to bypass these and keep his passives, though.

He doesn't actually see them though right? He just knows to drop a sentry?
 
No he can't actually SEE the observer/sentries, he can just tell they're there because his passives go out. Either that or there's an invis hero standing right on top of him :p. Or a beastmaster hawk.

Tomat what kind of heroes do you like? I always imagine you look like Tuskarr IRL so maybe you should wait for him.

Slark's Invis isn't really invis though as he leaves a huge trail of dark cloud(at least that's how it is in Dota 1) so you'll know where he is during stealth.

What makes slarks annoying is his passive Essence Shift, which is basically Decay, mini Desolator, Static Link and Mana burn all in one auto attack.
 
For some reason no playdota guides recommend Medallion on him, but it seems to me like that would be core. Mana regen, armor, and an active that you can use while invis.
 
Wouldn't be bad to try it on him. I'm pretty sure medallion came out after he did, so that's probably why people haven't bothered. Also his issue is his susceptibility to burst, so people try to solve that issue first.
