So what player should I be looking to ape strats and ideas off of to improve my windrunner game? I feel like I should be able to take more control over games than I am now and also farm better.

Want to search for some good replays to get better
 
Slark looks really neat. Probably can expect that dark cloud visual to carry over?

Whoa, I just figured out that Chaos Knight, Enigma, Wisp and Keeper represent the four fundamental forces of physics. I mean, I knew they were "Fundamentals" but I didn't realize you could map them. Enigma is obviously gravity, Keeper is light (the electromagnetic), Wisp is the strong force that binds matter together and CK is the weak force that allows for radiation to occur due to the random chance of particles escaping their atoms.

Figured this out months ago. Elevate your game, Techno!
 
What are the chances that Valve restricts players only to servers in their region. Of course if you are in a party you would be able to play in a server located anywhere a party member is in. And for matches between regions passwords enabled matches would work fine. I just feel like Valve needs to do something about this shit.

No chance, and why should they lock the regions?
 
Asked this in the trade thread, but was hoping someone here could answer it:

I have like 10 Ursa chests, as well as quite a few others. Are they tradable at all, or am I just better off leaving them alone/deleting them?

Those normal chests aren't really worth much since everyone has them. You can try selling them in bulk but again, they are not worth much.
I just usually delete mine or give them away. Event chests are worth a little more though.
 
Glad the front page isn't just Diretide anymore. Missed spectating good players. Diretide is pretty useless for people who don't care about items.
 
Anyone else getting stuck on downloading the patch? My download has been stuck at 93% and I don't know how to get it to finish.

edit:finally worked.
 
guys guys guys.

THEY KEEP GIVING ME INVITES.
I HAVE 6 NOW.
WHAT AM I EVEN SUPPOSED TO DO WITH THESE?
too many smurfs, even for me
 
I have two now. Yay...

Also, any of you guys get custom wards? I had $4.06 in my Steam wallet, so I grabbed a CM one.

clan ke$h also officially challenging team dreams-visions to a scrim
handicap: we have like 3 players but do i look like i even give a shit bro?
 
Only have 2.50 left in my wallet at the moment, but the Wards seem pretty cool. May pick up a set at one point.

Also got another invite (6).

And Slark definitely looks like a hero I want to try out. Here's hoping he's in next week.
 
I love Visage so much. I want some cosmetic items for him!! I feel like this hero is being used the wrong way. Mek? Pipe? No thanks how about some Monkey King Bars and Daedulusi

yea that game was...you know how sometimes you try to win the draft war on paper...but forget you have to figure out how to properly lane the shit with people who feel extremely comfortable in their own heroes' skin, so to speak? yea.

and I told them after the match that we weren't aggressive enough in the tri-lane...seems Purge agreed. As a note of clarification (or, at least an insight into my logic) I prioritized the Crystal Maiden's W and E because (a) I knew everyone on the team was going to need the mana boost and (2) I figured we'd need the extra stun time W gives to kill AM. I expected our Naga player to be MUCH more aggressive. I know AM can blink, but we had 3 *THREE!* stuns in the lane. Jakiro's 2 seconds, my 2 seconds, and Naga's forever lockdown. AM ain't getting out of that if chained properly. To that end, if Naga had decided to initiate at any time (or Jak, since they can cast their stuns from the longest distance...but Naga since hers is guaranteed), I feel like we could have won that lane going away. But that aggressiveness never materialized until I said something about it...and by then it was too late to win the lane.

The rest was just bad play. We've had much, much better games (including the one we just won 59966342)...but anyway, they moved me up from the 5 on the team to the 1 (because the 1 [the naga player] wasn't quite as aggressive as they had hoped and I suppose I am), so we'll see how that goes.

We got challenged by THE Dignitas...and declined so quickly I think I heard the sound barrier break.

Any other advice or insights regarding that will be relayed to the team and thus, greatly appreciated. Cheers.

cm's q while also giving the utility of a slow also provides damage. There is pretty much 0 reason to ever skill the aura in an offensive lane.
As for the draft? Your trilane was fine, their lane was much worse. But clockwork was a ????? pick, as that hero is uh, not the best.
