Yeah, I don't think its unreasonable to want to play on English speaking servers right? Its not at all helpful when you can't communicate with your team mates.

The public MM to privet/bot matches is surprising tbh, and I didn't expect the US to have this low of a share compared to EU/Russia, but I guess it makes sense.

So do we have any idea how much the bastion announcer is going to cost?
Also, valve release jakiro's model in the workshop already!

The only announcer pack I would pay for would be the main fake British accent female announce. I want a announcer pack where she says all of the kill streak lines.

I bought Juggurnaut pack a while back and haven't had any regrets, its pretty damn fun.
I'm surprised that the majority of matches played are in private lobbies or bot games. DON'T THEY WANT HATS?
I tried Timber and damn, he's a lot of fun. He is really tough to use early on because of his limited range, but man he wrecks in team fights. I need to work on his tree hook thing though, I could never really pull that off well. The match I used him in was pretty much a joke though.

That sounds about right....in his Inception rant yesterday he told me that I can't find a stream like his anywhere on the net. It's now literally true

Bot matches give hats!
GOOD QUESTION. They pushed really hard early and we had like no towers after 20 minutes somehow. We were crushing them in team fights, but we never managed to capitalize on it because we were so pushed back. We made some good pushes, but somehow it always seemed to be countered no matter what we did. At the end it was an ancient rush, but their Gyro shadowbladed behind our defending SD to win the game as we were trying to make a final push. Embarassing game really, but I had fun playing Timbersaw and want to try him out again.

I just do SD and RD now, and the ratio is probably 10:1 in favor of SD for me
Like Puck, you gotta get in there, spam spells, and hope your teammates are competent. Once you get bloodstone though you are a tanking machine. Literally.
I've been playing mainly on USE now, seems like you get a lot less non-english speaking people over there...

I've wanted an aghs for his boat for awhile that does something similar to that. Damage amp + a lethal dot would be pretty awesome.
One of the changes I'd like to see is the ability to turn tidebringer off. My reasoning is that during laning phase kunkka often pushes the lane and becomes an easy target to gank for coordinated teams because he has no escape moves.
The other change tidebringer should not crit. Tidebringer should deal auto attack damage + scale to some degree with strength (.5/1/1.5/2x strength in damage?). Right now kunkka is arguably the most rng dependant hero in order to succeed in his role, even moreso than ogre magi and ck he needs those big crits in order to contribute to fights. When he actually gets those big crits it is borderline overpowered. 500-700 pure damage that hits the other team is game winning. I want to smooth that out and make him more predictable, in addition to opening up other items that would help him not be so papery (heart of tarrasque, armlet, drums).

That was ridiculous, the game was maybe 25 minutes long as well. Empire's Tiny had 885 GPM.
Timmmbbbeeeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
sorry
Item dependent hero that requires skill to play with a low win rate?

You forgot the "He's sooooooooooo coooooooooool" guys who just play him because of his cool voice lines.

is he tough to play?
Wow, from the streams I was watching it was nothing but Timbersaw rampaging for twenty minutes. Course, this was Merlini's stream and I think he was queuing with someone that played him a bit in Dota 1. Merlini seemed to consider the hero "easy mode."
Still haven't tried him. I'm a little more interested now if it turns out he won't be played in every match.

Had a 62 minute game last night as Jakiro which is a hero that I find to be my best, plus I like playing support.
It was an intense game and we could have lost because timbersaw was not helping out at all. He requires fast reaction, thinking and getting the right positioning. If the guy playing him isn't that kind of player then you might as well have 4 on your team.
Ended up with a few less kills then Timber but I had 38 assist and better items and 1 level higher. Remind me a lot of Slark.
On a side note. I am always surprise to see that when we won, our items were team based such as scythe, mek, drums and the other team didn't have any.

He's not tough to play but I'm sure some people are doing dumb crap like playing mid or they're not good with knowing when to land tree hook.
I think he's pretty strong if you lane him with a stunner or another burst damage hero. I'd say lane him against enemy carry, its pure damage so even heroes like am can take a shit loat of damage.
yeah, I gave up long ago.
Yeah, I did. Soul Ring just seems like more free mana for him when he has 10+ HP regen.

I think I just need to change the way I use it....It's tough to throw it as a pick off tool but easy to hit as additional damage after a stun. So more assisting and less kill sniping...
If you're using sun strike heavily you should have a euls anyway, euls, 1 seconds, sunstrike, then smash their face in
No Tidehunter and EG are playing a Bo5 atm: http://www.teamliquid.net/video/streams/AbsoluteTV - Dota 2
HERO IS SO OP EZ MODE NERF PLEASE
He requires a much higher skill level to pull off effectively compared to other heroes.

I was talking about during the laning phase when instead of leaving you lane, you just throw a sunstrike when enemies on the sidelanes have been sufficiently harassed.
Please. Someone find a way.

If you're wiling to mess with files:
Edit pak01_015.vpk with some editor (Notepad++ for example)
Find these three sections:
Replace the bolded with 0.0 (sets volume to 0 for these sounds). NOTE THAT 0 doesn't work. Has to be 0.0!
