Played (and won) 3 straight games with Luna. She's becoming one of my favourite heroes.

Can't wait for 6 hero patch tonight.
He kept dying because his lifesteal didn't work lol.
No less than 11 heroes will be added.
dont worry they will make sure every hero has an item set by then to tide us over for TI4

There was a time, I remember, when I thought the game would have all the heroes and be launched by TI2.
There wouldn't be enough time to let the meta settle if they released all the heroes before TI3, it would be a volatile tournament that would be unlike the previous two Internationals.
Although that would be interesting to see, like a Magic tournament after a new set or a wave of bannings. An unpredictable competitive environment where anything is possible.

Awesome for spectators, probably a nightmare for the players :lol

It could go either way. It be mayhem and pandemonium with crazy picks and stupid games.
Could just be some silly hero that would be incredibly overpowered that gets played every game morphling style.

She's currently my consistently best hero. Something like 17-4 with her. Highest win rate over sheer number of games played. My Windrunner, which I think is the only hero with more games played has ~50% win rate.

they released heroes a month before TI2, I think they'd be okay.
First Valve game?
I'd be all for a crazy tournament. I mean, let's be honest, they can't do worse than TI1 at this point.

Blink Dagger Kunkka. X yourself and blink
Viper spends till lv 9 farming in mid when the other team's axe ganks everybody, and after all the time Viper gets a damn Orchid as first item. He was wearing shoes, wraith bands and an orchid. Dota really wants to even my win-loss ratio, I've been in a ~20 games loss streak.
screw crystalis, go ref orb/dagon

This seems quite reasonable.
Like it might have been nice if he roamed a bit but level 9 at mid is only going to be like the ~10 minute mark of the game which is quite a normal length laning phase for pub. Especially if he had an Orchid up that quickly and the enemy team had a blinking hero or two.

Well, CSGO and TF2 had their usual updates this week
Robin Walker is a mutant that lives and breathes Team Fortress. He's probably committing updates from his phone, the sicko.
Serious response: Only half of the company is away, right? Probably enough people around to push through a meager update for those games at the moment.

I'm just saying expect nothing! That way you're either happy you're right or you're happy you we're surprised!
SFM had one too. It looks like they were thinking about pushing an update, and decided just to not do it.

Well I'm on one of my worst losing streaks ever. 8 losses in a row. The matchmaking really does want you at 50% I guess so much that it will fuck you over to bring you down. Before this streak I was at ~52% winrate.

I think he was hoping for the more popular wraith/lothar pubsmasher build.

Ahh neat site to make ini config files

I think I'll set it to 1 or 2.
Thanks

i think my worst was 5.
That'd only make sense if he got it way earlier and started roaming. Also, he and gyro were the carries in the game, and gyro was ganked a lot. You should never pick an expensive int item if you're the Main Carry and specially as tour first item. Get a manta, yasha or anything else.Proof is he was silencing the other team just to run away from them.
Hi I'm a newbie who might just take you up on that offer. See you on the fields of justice!

I've started randoming every game and I'm doing way better, despite playing all kinds of characters for the first time without reading a guide.

I'd like to try Spectre at some point, since I really like her concept. I've heard some chat that she's not meant to be that good, though she has a decent win rate online.
I was going to just try the illusion item build on her which I think is basically just diffusal, manta, heart. I'm not sure whether you really want to focus on her illusions since she can only really use them for 5-7 seconds every team fight. Unlike PL I would have thought she doesn't care that much about making her illusions tanky, but would want more burst damage from them, so maybe a crit item wouldn't be crazy? On the other hand her dispersion makes me think you want as much Hp as possible on her so a heart would be especially good.
Also, does she need anything to help her farm quickly? I'm not if she has much to help her farm other than the fact that she can do it all day and still be there for team fights.

Really? That's a bit of a bummer, although I guess it makes sense. My subjective impression of radiance in pubs so far is that if you're allowed to get it early enough for it to matter you're probably winning the game so hard you could buy a refresher orb instead and it wouldn't matter.
It stacks with her dispersion, and makes farming so much quicker, it's one of the only heroes I'd say should take it as core.
Sometimes an old fashioned stomp is just what you need to feel better about this game.
Omni fed gave away first blood and then another kill on bot lane with me but after my ult came online, it was smooth sailing all the way.
The Sniper and SB were spectacularly useless and seemed completely out of their depth. It felt so, so good.

Apologies if posted already:
How to block creep spawn with clockwerk's flare. Seems he just got even more value as an offlane.
