I don't think that's the case, unless it is just being really slow to update.

Really? After I turned mine back on it uploaded 3 of my matches no problem.
Edit: Maybe they are having issues retrieving matches like last week? Maybe something changed between DotABuff and valve again?
 
Loving that old ass chen portrait.

So. Random shit I learned with a friend in a private lobby:

-Doom ult stops PA ult crit! Did you guys know this? If she's doomed, crits don't proc. I was a bit taken aback. It didn't matter if she was ulted before or duing BKB, shit doesn't proc.

-BKB prevents MKB ministun. You'll never see the little bash tornado above the targets head if they have bkb popped. I'm not sure if that means that the bonus 100dmg is also blocked or if just the ministun part is prevented. No way to tell that, really. I've never really seen BKB prevent any other bash proc, but it definitely did with the MKB. I couldn't find anything about this on the Dota2 wiki, so I'm not 100% sure if it's intentional or not.

-Satanic is like, my favorite item ever. I already knew that, but now it's more clear to me when to buy it as opposed to a heart. I feel like now...in most cases, I'm going to prioritize Satanic on any hero that deals serious right-click DPS. Heart on anyone else. So like on Axe, Wispm /Tide and other heroes with a low attack speed (relatively speaking), I'd want a heart. But your Void/PA/Spec/Drow/Luna/Kunkka, I'm really going to prefer Satanic and I'm going to purchase it much more often than I do. Not sure if I'm thinking about this right or not, so please correct if not. I just feel like you can reach a point in attack speed or/and crit where Satanic will keep you alive longer than a heart. Unless you're concerned about getting nuked down I guess. I've rarely bought Satanic on heroes outside of DK and Luna. That will change.

feels weird to still be learning brand new shit north of 1,000 wins, but yep.

Doom prevents spells from being cast, passives from being activated/triggered and items from being used. A doomed Void will never backtrack.

:O

I've only played Doom maybe 3 or 4 times and have really only seen him in a very small number of matches in general. I had no idea. I knew it stopped active items and abilities...didn't know it shut down passives too.
 
I needed four OT (wow! OT 4!!!!) to post here for the first time ... What a game! I've played about 150 hours, with about 70 public games (50% win rate) and lots of practice with bots ... Maybe someday play around with some Gafer, but my level is so far from what I see around here (people here are very very good!!!)...

From what I've played until now, I love support heroes like Warlock and Disruptor, although I have a fondness for Doom Bringer and Batrider in mid lane
 
Yeah, in most situations he should probably take a few steps after Hookshot and then Cog for the mana burn and teamfight sectioning (or build a Force Staff, I guess). Trapping himself in with the Lifestealer a few times was more or less his doom.
 
He had the lowest GPM on his team and never got to build real durability items. That might explain things.

Isn't that how normally is? He lacks skills that allow him to farm items like Sand King or Enigma, and his skills place him in more danger than both of them. Earthshaker at least has a long range stun, but all clock's skills need him face-to-face to enemies. Well, except for the missile, but it isn't very prowerful.

He had at least Force Staff money, but elected for Blade Mail instead (more or less useless against the one hero he had the most difficulty with).
 
Why is necro in carry section when he has a heal?

Garbage Thread.

I hear this all the time when I play Necro.

Buy courier, upgrade courier, buy wards, buy dust, don't ks plz. So annoying, but I never pay attention.

People also complain when I push with Pugna. "Pugna doesn't push"
 
I take back what I said yesterday about Warlock's channeling slow. I actually tried using it a bit last night and it countered Lifestealer like no tomorrow. Lifestealer goes after an ally, I start my channeling while Lifestealer is magic immune, the immunity wears off, and he's slow as molasses and ripe for killing.
 
wtf u doin mid pugna

Magnus: "ME MID???????////"
Me: "Yes, Magnus is a common mid, get your bottle and shush"
Magnus: "lol k pro"
------------------------------------

Bounty Hunter: "Me solo bot nononono"
Me: "Whats wrong with that?"
Bounty Hunter: "I ned farm"
Me: "For what? Get 6 and go ganking"
Bounty Hunter: "Battlefury"
----------------------------------------

The two moments above really happened.
 
I shit you not another 2 confirmed reports
Another 2 lotus chests

I got a chest without reporting. How many reports do you send off in a day?!

People still play Pugna?

Man, I'm really liking Warlock again. He was one of the heroes I learned the game on and with the recent buffs to his ult, that golem just wrecks team fights.

What I like to do is have him paired with some sort of disruption like Shadow Demon or Outworld Devourer. Remove your target, start channeling upheaval, laugh as they return to an impenetrable puddle of mud.

I've had to mid with some really weird heroes because my teammates insist on duo laning carries and nukers. The joys of solo queue.

There are just some days where I come off as a prick cause I report so many people...seeing that message the next day though is pretty satisfying.

I had to buy courier, wards and then was forced to go mid as vengeful spirit. Windrunner kept yelling at me she was carry for some reason when no one talked to her but her 3 teammates(no one spoke english, everyone spoke spanish...)

I was up against some strong mid, don't remember, it actually turned out not being all that bad. The other team wasn't that good, but my team was pretty fucking trashy too, wanted to kick dirt in our Slardar's gills cause all he had at 42 minutes was a Vanguard, dude didn't die that much either but he did jackshit all game. When Dota fucks me it goes the whole 9 yards...

Yeah, took a while for that set to make it into the game, part of Vlad the impliers monoply on lesser known heros, the set is good but the hat is terrible, like the dude forgot to rig it for his head or something
 
Invasion needs a new Magnus player: not one single good Reverse Polarity in that game (with multiple complete whiffs), builds a Mekansm and a Vladimir's Offering instead of a Refresher Orb.

That LGD courier is pretty good, shame it will probably be priced like the Na'vi one.
