Something something warmogs something
wow Hunter's BH is awesome. Great design and execution.
Lich set is submitted and should be visible early tomorrow (I'll post again once it's public), Lycan set is ~90% done, pending some small rigging and texture tweaks, here's a preview:
hope you guys dig it!
the gauntlets feel a little flat in front/turnaround view, but in game they have a really nice metal shine. I might brighten it with a small gradient a tad for the workshop view as long as it doesn't ruin how they currently read in game.

I think you can pull rad easy if you cut a ton of trees.
it's actually floating geometry. Just hover the mesh as close as you can without it clipping and things usually work out fine if they're either simple or (ideally) the same topology as the geo underneath.
For sure there does seem to be a slower feel to Dota but I'm not sure it's an issue.
I think Dota has too many layers and too much knowledge is needed before you can even jump into a game. Too outsiders it looks like a tower defence game with convoluted rules.

Eyepatch could use a slightly better texture. It's great otherwise.

The eyepatch feels out of place, but everything else looks real nice. I feel like some sort of toothed/spiked hood would be a more consistent headpiece with the rest of the set.

If it's the community you hate, then we can offer no relief here.

No, but the game itself is better!
You'll love it because it'll remind you just of League community.
Stay away from anything that involves teamwork with strangers in a PvP environment
or just sucker some friends in to playing with you
or why dont you just play with neogaf what is UP with that
p.s. anbokr sent me

I imagine in addition to the sets added yesterday, we'll also see that QoP set added, since it was completely done last week
Yeah... I'm gonna need to see that Lich set. I assume your avatar is based on the set?
Lina fire hair will be instapurchase if it has glowing eyes. Otherwise witch hat for life.
If you don't have mates to play with there's always the mute function. Actual leavers and intentional feeders are rare outside the trench and you won't be pestered into surrendering because there is no such option in Dota 2.

First time I heard that buying back and killing the one who killed you is trying too hard.
That strong tryhard logic is strong.

I've been playing league and dota 2 recently.
Honestly I've had more ragers in league than dota, but that is probably because most of my games are filled with Chinese players (I'm too gosu apparently), which is due to chinese players getting invites right now. Chinese players are just as good as any other players, but I highly suspect some of them are account sharing because invites are so limited right now. Same thing happened when the game went open beta after TI1.

So I had just joined a game, was on the loading screen when I heard a bunch of noise outside my house.
I went to look out front and there was a bunch of drunks out on the street being idiots, stood there for a while watching to them to make sure they didn't fuck with our gardens or anything.
Totally forgot about the game that I had loaded in to.
By the time I got back to my pc the game had started, everyone had chosen their hero's and was laning, It was a few minutes in already, I had gotten abandonment, fuck.
Luckily noone had left, I picked Crystal Maiden, started laning with no gold and a couple levels behind already, didn't have much hope for the game.
Supported like a boss and we ended up dominating them, I went 12-5 (CM ult too stronk).
Ended up being one of the most fun games I've played in a while.

I think it still counts as a loss for me though?, since I got abandonment.

Also I saw on reddit (don't hurt me) about the idea that more heroes should get visual upgrades when they equip Aghs, like how Tiny gets a tree. Gyro should get a stealth bomber with Aghs.

Well in War3 Dota, a lot of heroes got visual upgrades from Scepter. They werent as major as Tiny's tree, but for example Lich got frost mittins, Leshrac got spikes (like carapace), Lina got more fire, and so forth. When Dota2 first came out people were requesting it but it kind of faded away from the wanted list as development continued.
Id rather see more heroes get Scepter upgrades, and current Scepter upgrades that suck (like Necrolyte) become more useful. Doesnt even have to be on the same level as Tiny or Brewmaster, just like, viable.

Question for you eggheads:
http://youtu.be/ZVkhe_pH2hc?t=8m20s
Why does Purge drag and select before he last hits? Does it help your timing?

Its prolly just a habit. For example, I never stop moving when I am last hitting. Instead of S spamming I usuually just shimmy back and forth, especially on heroes I am confortable with and have their turn rates/attack animations memorized, like a nerd.

Pretty good I'd say. I'm going to build a list of bundled items with prices and post them soon.
Yup, just a habit, he stated that in one of his videos. Someone I play with does the same thing out of boredom because he's used to needing more APM in SC2.

Fuck yes. One step closer to Defense of the Shrines.
Simple question. Is there a GAF group for low-tier players ? Want to play with people who doesnt rage at mic (or chat) but i dont want to ruin games for the experienced ones.
Yesterday there was a weird glitch on my team when Chaos Knight was losing HP permanently. He couldnt leave the well. Is this a known (and avoidable) bug ?
Also, Im pretty sure this has been probably mentioned but pleeease take that enjoyment stars out of the chat kthx.

I'm pretty sure there are a lot of new players who would be willing to play with you.
And it sounds like Chaos Knight had an item called Armlet of Mordiggan. When you toggle it on, you start losing HP. Maybe he forgot to toggle it off.
What I always did in Lol was mute the enemy team from the start and then a teamate who would start cursing!!
I just want to have some fun but people act extremely competitive
Im not a new new player... i have like 200+ games. But its my first time with Dota or this kind of game and Im pretty sure people around here are more experienced.
Thats a good observation, going to watch the replay right now because if that was the problem...
The Rubick one was amazing.
So a Juggernaut reskin.

Looked to me like the Morphling player felt bad for him and let him steal morph back. Glad I got to see this Rubick make this mistake before I did.
