Oh man these are pure gold

Yeah! totally took me a while to get used to spamming Q to get last hits and to harass Just too good. Defo needs that rod asap and bloodstone though. So little health.
EDIT: I played mid on hard, and got 3 branches, 2 clarities and 2 stacks of tangoes. I had bottle really early and that helped my mana regen until I got arcanes. After that I rushed orchid which I dont think was very smart, as I should have gotten atos first for the HP. But Orchid really helped me with my mana regen and I didn't even feel the need to use my arcanes as much so I was in the process of dismantling them for a bloodstone. Anyway he's awesome I a really enjoyed playing him
HUrry up and make him available for items plx valveo
These last couple of days i'm playing like complete shit and i'm dominating almost every game (http://dotabuff.com/players/63534417), i don't understand it. I mean i'm feeling supersloppy in every single way and the game rewards me, what the hell.

Why Orchid, he has a build in silence haha. I just rushed Bloodstone and went for Atos for manas. Though I guess the amp damage works out nice for all his nukes.

Anyone with a silence.
Anyone that does damage really. So squishy..
Does Doom have more armor now than Skywrath?
Edit: Yes he does lmao
Doom: 0.54
Sky: 0.52
At level 1.

They chose this match as opposed to the remaining phase 1 because phase 2 games are not elimination.
I'll add you tonight and send you an invite.

Does wings will have 100's of submissions.
If they did sakura particles they will definitely have feather particles for couriers.

Pugna is probably the hardest counter to skywrath, skywrath has shy of 1,000 health at 16, and his ult costs an absurd amount of mana, so pugna's ward can actually one shot skywrath if he doesn't have sufficient health items. Even after skywrath ults he has to spam spells, so skywrath is pretty much useless against pugna unless you can kill the ward or farm up a bkb.
The more common counter and probably the reason you'll never see skywrath in pubs after the first few days is nyx. He is nyx food. Low health, high int, no escape, not to mention nyx could probably trade with him in mid.

Also worse Agility growth, so anyone with antiarmor capabilities whatsoever too (even his waifu).
So this just happened.
I don't even know what's worse, double crystalis Drow, lifesteal crystalis Tide or double boots Lina.

How does Naga Siren have no farm after 33 minutes with the least amount of deaths on her team? What was she doing all game?
I don't understand this stupid trench double Crystalys Drow trend. I've seen it a couple of times before, and I don't understand why people don't get that these crits are calculated independently. Two Crystalys does NOT get you 40% crit chance, and it does not get you two crits on one hit either!

Double crystalis: just gives you better chances for a crit, actually works. Would be better off upgrading to daedalus though.
Double boots: i sometimes do that when i switch from my regular boots to boots of travel late game, just buy them seperately, and when they're done and you have them, sell the others, looking at lina's money she had well enough to buy them.
Crystalis + lifesteal tide however baffles me. Trench indeed.

Two crystalys gives you more reliability but I'm not sure if I would build it on anyone but kunkka.
But it doesn't work how everyone thinks it does. Think of it like this.
You have a 20% chance to crit
That one fails
Now you have a 20% chance to crit.
If EITHER one procs, you only get that crit, you have a ZERO percent chance for both.
Yes, you are better off saving the cash and getting a Daedalus. Besides, that opens another item slot to have some other utility item there. In that game, a Manta, BKB, you have a lot of choices.
I have no idea. At one point she found me way out of position and somehow managed to not kill me. I had Mek and Force Staff, but still. AFAIR she even used her ulti for positioning.
Regarding Crystalis, so the crit probabilities do somewhat stack? That makes it a little less dumb, still a huge waste of gold imo.
Don't you lose like 200g doing it that way instead of just buying the recipe and disassembling the arcanes?
That would be why she didn't kill you, plus she had no farm, which meant no damage, which meant she ain't killing you any time soon. Her illusions are doing fuck all with no items.
Yeah, like I said above, that's how the Crystalys "stacks" but there are no additive properties of it to the other one. They are calculated independently. Another example to compare it to is Butterfly on Faceless Void. Evasion doesn't stack, but Backtrack is not Evasion, just a special passive skill, so it's technically possible to backtrack and evade a physical attack, but obviously having both proc is pointless. It's just good to have the extra chance with the Butterfly, plus the Agility and AS gains are awesome on it. Also Backtrack doesn't need another item slot.
I had a Luna who skilled Aura and Glaives till level 8, and then took stats till lvl 12, and only then started skilling stun. Get into the trench son

Yeah but valve has antifun built into procs.
You have a slightly higher % chance to hit a proc if you missed one the previous turn
Much lower % chance to proc consecutively

Ive seen this, but they also took their ult, and used it, and it did zero damage.
I know this feel. This monitor-throwing-out-window feel.
I still have a hard time justifying the cost and item slot. 2150 gold can be put toward a billion other things, like a BKB, Manta, MKB, Butterfly, the list goes on.
Sounds like the HoN build from what I've heard other people say as her ult isn't dependent on Beam's level. You don't level Beam for the stun per say... but yeah, not the usual build.
Shieeeet... it's all about that 1/1/1 build and stats. That's what 1.09 taught me.

I think some pro player did that when they had access to free farm. It did increase his gpm by a good amount but it's extremely risky and not really worth it for solo queue AP.
AM can do a similar build where they put 1/4/1 and then max stats, getting mana burn up when they get their manta style.
edit: Yeah the hon situation is probably more appropriate. Moon queen has highest win rate hero in HON right now, so no doubt some hon players try to copy that build onto luna.

Yeah. We lost, obviously. Not helped by the fact that we had Timbersaw mid (Instead of the braindead Luna). I will NEVER AGAIN PLAY ALL RANDOM
Yar, I haven't run the numbers, but my gut tells me that investing in damage or attack speed would be the better means to making your crit proc more cost effective (and upgrading the proc chance and damage multiplier with Daedalus, of course).

Should I be concerned?

Probably yes. But I can't be bothered figuring out if my boots CAN be disassembled, then picking up each piece and selling it. I'd rather just buy em quickly and get back in the action.
Furthermore, about 75% of the times i get boots of travel, I buy them in the enemy's fountain, no time to disassemble there.

It's a build that works well provided enough disables on the team. Seen Sing do it a few times in pubs (never competitively) and stomped.
I do this and not always when someone is on the Skype call.

If you voice deepens yes.
Who are the original announcers and mega kill voice actors? That would be pretty trippy to have a conversation with them or hear them talk casually
Sucker, I only had to pay 2 keys to join the Neogaf Noobs channel.
Singsing's stream's description should just be "Don't try this at home"
BABARR maphacked in dota 1.
oh, and probably the rest of his team back then as well
Personally, I think DD is like a collection of the worst people ever to grace dota.
