Support NeoGAF

[Tomat]

Oh my bad, I meant to say trade gifted items right?

Still don't know what you're referring to! Refresh my memory.

 

[Conceptor]

Can't wait to see Timersaw get picked tomorrow/today!

maybe as a niche pick, but i don't see that happening much

bounchfx, grats again. those look sweet in game and mythicals too? crazy

 

[Anbokr]

so now that tranqs are nerfed, what's the go-to boots for Lich? Phase?

arcanes obviously

Spoiler

just sit on regular boots or get treads. Though tbh, tranqs are still a solid pickup on supports, and you can always dissassemble them.

 

[Drkirby]

I still think Tranqs will be a good choice on Lich, he has a pretty high base move speed.

 

[Artanisix]

Phase bro.

 

[Hylian7]

What about Treads? Strength for a bit of extra health, Int for some more mana when you need it and Sacrifice isn't giving you enough.

 

[Technosteve]

dota crashes if you go to look at the main menu while on the waiting for loaders screen.

 

[Schweinehund]

Starting to enjoy diffusal blade + vlads on troll. Its especially great for those games where people just stock up on ghost scepter.

 

[Dreams-Visions]

yeah, they did!

fuck you.

Spoiler

bought.

 

[kurahador]

yeah, they did!

:O

 

[BHK3]

These crashes are really bothering me...it's like a 50/50 shot of me loading the game up or have to crt+alt+delete it :/

 

[Dahbomb]

Go Treads for Carry Lich (new meta).

Treads -> Mjolnir -> Eye of Skadi -> Daedalus -> Assault Cuirass -> Guinsoo or Codex max level or max Necrobooks

 

[EviLore]

Lich has free mana! 6 Dagons.

 

[Dreams-Visions]

:O

he doesn't yet strike the pose in-game. just in the loadout preview.

hopefully it is added to the actual game.

 

[Stephen_drewz]

Can't wait to get home and buy that lich set and a new courier. Time to play some support again instead of carry or semi carry. Weirdly excite!

Are the new chests out? Gotta force myself to just trade a key for 2 of the not so rare chest items this time.

 

[RS4-]

GGs Carb, G-Unit, etc.

That CM game made up for that shitfest AR we had lolol.

That AR was ugh! free win :s

 

[CarbonatedFalcon]

What do you do after All Random leaves you hanging with a bag of rotten tomatoes?

Shrug it off and roll into Captain's Mode!

My CS was pretty rough at the start (and didn't get very high since the game was over before 40 minutes) due to lag spikes and the early game was looking pretty rough in the other lanes, but our superior teamfight pulled us through. Warlock too stronk. (Everyone on the team has a nuke, so getting Fatal Bonds off on even a few people will result in deaths quickly.)

The questionable Skeleton King pick from the other team certainly helped though.

 

[Quesa]

So I played a game as KOTL last night with some gaffers but it's not showing up on my history or Dotabuff. I went 7-2 and I wanna show someone a few highlights but I can't even find the replay. What do?

Settings --> Game --> Share Match History --> "ON"

 

[Quesa]

Nah I have that on, every other match I've played (like the tusk match I played earlier today) shows up on DB, just not this one specific KOTL match. Even in the game, it doesn't show up on my history.

Did anyone abandon (early?) Otherwise I'm not sure.

 

[Quesa]

Did anyone abandon (early?) Otherwise I'm not sure.

It was last night (maybe when the update was going on?) and after the game finished, it wouldn't let me DC, so I quit the client. I've done that before, though, and haven't lost any matches.

 

[RS4-]

Lol ran Warlock again with Tobe and Bounch, why can't all our games be so free.

GGs again.

 

[G-Unit]

Rofl, kunkka banks 12k of gold, buys 1 rapier, loses it... 5 min later... buys 2nd rapier, loses that one... GG radiant winz

GG mila, it was fun to watch

 

[Dahbomb]

Why do Kunka players get Battle Fury? He already has a pseudo cleave and can farm fairly well.

 

[Artanisix]

Gives him a lot of things he needs. It's a convenience item and it has a very effective damage-to-gold ratio.

 

[Lotto]

Lose when PL is on my team, lose when PL is against my team. I just can't win guys.

Spoiler

this has been happening in almost every single PL game I've been in for the past month

 

[Pureauthor]

Plus the only thing better than cleave is more cleave.

Maybe, just maybe, the issue isn't the PL.

 

[Artanisix]

Yay for health insurance. Now I can spend all that saved money on virtual hats for my dwarven marksman instead.

 

[spiritfox]

Maximum cleavage.

 

[Anteo]

It stacks, and the cleave damage is pure and equal to the amount of damage the main unit recieved after armor reduction iirc.

 

[Dahbomb]

I used to play Kunka with BF when I was starting out. Then I discovered the joy of SB/Crit Kunka and never looked back. By the time I have my crits creeps die in one cleave anyway.

Damn you must have cost them at least 4 tylenol pills.

Well of course it's not just the PL, but there are several things that PL's do on my team and PL's do on the opposing team that are just jarring (in terms of decision making and item builds.) I hardly play carries but I like to think I play a good/decent support.

 

[Kreunt]

just fisted a PL. couldn't do shit against my mjollnir AC radiance alch

 

[tsunami643]

I swear to god if I play one more game where no one ganks or hassles the enemy jungler...

The biggest thing you'll see better PL players doing is microing illusions to farm multiple neutral camps. At a certain point, unless you're team fighting, you should be able to be clearing a lane and 2+ jungle camps at once, at least.

Of course the change to tranquils may affect the sustainability of that somewhat. Was too scared to test it in our CM game earlier on Luna, which is why I went phase instead (racecar!). Not the biggest fan of treads on her. BTs certainly good late, but very much a luxury item.

 

[Hylian7]

Why don't you do it?

That's what people always say but the problem is that solo ganks with no vision are usually a bad idea. You ask a random on your team to go with you and they have a 50/50 chance of actually going with you.

Sometimes you run into something where you make one small mistake or a random claims you did and they say "Don't ask me to gank with you anymore."

The best answer is to play in stacks instead of solo, but of course that isn't always an option.

 

[Moaradin]

Losing games like this are so fucking annoying. Team picks 3 carries and they all had no farm. Lost top lane horribly to weaver and gave Lifestealer free farm bot. The enemy team is basically a Lifestealer and Weaver show. Everyone else had hardly any presence.

Worst part about it is that we won a few teamfights later on that gave me some sliver of hope, but then team just throws it away by engaging 3v5. Ugh.

 

[Drkirby]

Seems Valve also fixed the bug where Neutrals didn't dispel the Tranquil Boots Heal. Likely effects Jungle Axe and Ursa a lot.

 

[tsunami643]

Why don't you do it?

I was playing carry all my games. I even bought the hard laners a set of wards early on with random gold on the third game because I was so sick of getting buttravaged by Naix, but instead they just put it on the magic bush and rune, which were promptly countered. Eurgh, I'm still salty.

Wat? 'Only damage from player-controlled units will trigger Break.' according to the wiki.

 

[Drkirby]

Its not the break, its the Heal will be dispelled. Before you could just tank creeps while healing, when the heal is supposed to have the same non-combat rules as a Healing Salve (Any damage over 20 cancels it)

Oh jesus, I thought that was intentional. What the hell, how did a bug that huge go unnoticed for over a year? Is there no overlap between DotA and Dota 2 players?

Wow. Way overnerfed. Twenty second heal, sixty second CD, 25 ms on break, AND the heal now breaks on creep attacks? Those boots are complete ass now. They could've used any 2 of those nerfs, but 4? Geez.

That's going to hurt a lot of junglers.

 

[Tobe]

RIP Tranquil Boots

 

[Drkirby]

Going to really slow down carries farming the Jungle without specific items.

 

[Apath]

There goes my PL tranquil+soul ring combo for max lance harassment. I never thought tranquil boots heal was that egregious to necessitate it being nerfed to hell. I mean, 25 Movement Speed? Hahaha.
