BTW just noticed:

When did they lower the price for the Fireborn Odachi? I'm pretty sure it was $12 or so before. It's only $5 right now. Mine I got from a drop, but still :/
 
Is this the Drow nerf? Also, where can I see the changelog? Or if anyone has a easy to understand changelog, that would help

Bought that Lich Hood, surprised it is only $2.


yeah same, not sure how they determine the prices, the eye patch pricing is kind of hilarious. but hey, some people really dig eye patches. As should you. *points at screen*.

also, when I logged in, I got a juggarnaut weapon, but it was labeled as self made? O_o
 
It has always been $5.

Maybe I was hallucinating before. But this was way back, like pre-TI2.

Anyway yeah, funny that the Lich hood is so cheap and the eye patch is so expensive. I suppose since it has a major effect on the portrait view, but eh. I don't play Lycan or Lich enough to justify buying the sets (though I do really dig the Lich one the most.)

Which weapon did they say you made?
 
thanks dudes (and dudettes)!

There are custom animations for all three. New loadout idle's for PL and Lycan, new spell animation for Lich, new attack animation for Lycan.

drkirby:
Self-Made Grand Claive of the Unshamed. Looks sweet, it's a common, musta been a bug or maybe I got it during a match last night.
 
If anyone can youtube the new lycan attack animations, that would be really awesome. Itchin to buy the set, but I don't want the animations to be worse than the normal version~ala antimage item set :(.

Yeah I wish you could preview custom animations and such. That'd be really cool and I'd be a lot more comfortable purchasing sets with them.
 
Man the key art ad in-game for the Lycan set is janky as hell. Everything else looks okay, but that one is off.

that was something that was kind of frustrating was balancing the loadout view vs the in-game view. I kept wanting to brighten and make more 'metally' the armor in the loadout view, but if I did then the in game view would just be blown out and full white/bloom. the in-game view is more important, and I think it reads really well in game, but unfortunately doesn't look nearly as good in the store/loadout pics because of how the lighting is :(

Played this 5-stack CM game on stream a little while ago. Didn't really understand why the other team picked Zeus. Regardless, we beat Cancer Lancer and Magnus. Quite badly. Silencer is amazing.


And yes, that was me joining the GAF hivemind and buying an Atos. I'm a believer now. Great intermediate Int item that doesn't require the farm of something like a Scythe. Definitely recommend it on Silencer and OD. You get off the ground faster than you would farming a Scythe, giving you room to roam a bit instead of just having to farm to have that Scythe by a relevant time.

Best I've ever done with my ass Tusk. Viper carried us, but I got a super lucky ult guess on the PL after corralling his illusions with my shards and killed him. Felt good.

Edit: I think I might start building Tusk with mana boots, since I always felt like I was out of mana, but not sure about it. Suggestions?
 
I really need help. I suck terribly but love it so much I can't stop playing. It's a surprise for sure, as in general I consider myself an OK gamer.

I'm not sure if it's me or my team-mates but I lose way more games than I win. It's a little depressing, but I'll stick with it.

I'm not sure what happens. The game stalls for me at lvl 8 or 9 and it's a real effort after that to get the items and lvl I need. Should just stick to a lane or gank or jungle? I know it's dependent on the hero but I'm honestly lost. I watch other matches and by lvl 14 or so they have BKB's and all their core items. Fuck knows how....I'm usually still putting together a drum of endurance. How do they farm so effectively (I deny and get a loads of last hits but still kinda come up dry). Maybe I'm thinking about it too much...
 
Nooooo, my Windrunner fed up Sven a bit on bot. That shackle shot I pulled off was pretty dope though.

It's obvious I should just stick to Leshrac.
 
Hey bounch...did they make a unique animation of some kind for your PL outfit?

when you preview it, he has this hard-as-fuck pose that he strikes. he doesn't strike it with any other set I've ever seen.
 
I play Leshrac and win 8 games in a row.

Two games in a row I didn't play Leshrac.

Two games in a row I lost.

I sense a pattern.
