Keeper of the Light + Undying lane is more scumbag than a KotL + PL lane ever was. I was just the KotL in a KotL + Undying lane and we completely rocked the house. They tried to chase down Undying for first blood, then I hit both Bristleback and Venomancer with wave, Venomancer had barely any health, so I right clicked him while BB was chasing Undying and got First Blood, then we both killed Bristleback and Undying lived!
And yes, I finally won a match today.

Oh hey there Windrunner, I see you bought 6 obs wards, how about you go place them?
"Gema"
Yeah they have a gem, but we can see where they are if/when they kill it, better than nothing.
"Gema"
Yeah, just place one or two, it'll be ok.

Fuck yeah it is. I got absolutely destroyed early game by one of those a week or two ago. Constant Decay spam is sick.
I only had to Chakra him in lane like, once, and we still picked up so many kills on that lane that he had Arcane Boots really quickly. I could keep Chakraing myself and hide behind trees when they came back to lane.

Miniupdate?
Still getting lots of confirmed bannings. I don't think the 4 limit was fixed.

Elder titan portrait is getting a lot of flak but I trust valve to come out with a character to match the face. Remember how much feedback did storm had before people saw him in motion and talking?

Okay. Carry Gyro is fucking insane.
He's one of the fastest Ancient Stack soloers.
is there any other kind of gyro?

The 'max rockets and missile and gank people' Gyro? Pretty sure that was common.
ET just looks weird. He might look better in motion, but right now I'm only seeing John McCain with horns and face paint.

Considering the most popular build in dotabuff.....yes. Which I also do most of the time.
It is just that unlike most carries, he can hit a bunch of people at the same time. It just melts people.

I was just looking at the most popular builds for heroes on Dotabuff. Some of these make me want to cry, this one especially:

He looks waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too human, especially considering the concept art.

"I suck at phase shifting therefore I don't skill it"
I look at dotabuff most popular builds alot as I random most games, this makes me not wanna trust it so much now.
EDIT: Just placed my first dota2lounge bet. Oh god.

Anyone think pudge is a good counter to skywrath? One hook at level 3 and hes dead, then you just steamroll. I might be biased because pudge is my go to counter to squishy mids wiht no escape like SF or TA or something but it seems even more effective against skywrath.

Does anyone have any tips if I'm a LoL player interested in switching to DOTA 2?
I've played LoL on and off with friends since Summer last year, I'm level 23 and I'm fond of camera-lock (seriously, it's useful with some champions) and I know that DOTA 2 doesn't have a proper equivalent (I guess I'll get used to multitasking more) and Gangplank is my favorite LoL champion.

I think Storm looks kind of shitty.

read the OP, you've got tons of good info there. For example these: http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL549AD7FBEC34FB90

No points in Silence until 10? That three second silence is incredibly useful early...
http://dotabuff.com/heroes/batrider
No points in Flamebreak until 10? That utility of just one point is amazing though...

The radius is so small, and lower cooldown/mana cost for the nuke might be much more useful mid.

OD can punch them down pretty quickly.
He's one of the slowest actually, since he only has 6 attacks of cleave, vs like dk, luna, sven, or any kind of constant cleave carry
Yeah, I really liked the concept art so his portrait right now is really not gelling with me. But it still looks heavily WiP so I'm holding out hope. All the other heroes looked pretty damn close to their concepts.

You haven't played against a good Shadow Demon or anyone using diffusal.

There is now a Fountain Shopkeeper sword in the files which suggests that the newly added blacksmiths in the fountain shops that were added in last weeks patch will be updated with new animations to show them working on a sword they have been forging.
What are the odds this has to do with TI3? Or it could just be fancy models.
Dota buff stats are weird. For Weaver people are maxing Swarm 2nd ahead of Germinate.
Also Spectre has the highest game impact? Niiice. Must be because they fixed her Dagger and Haunts.
Wat. What are people thinking with that build?! It seems like a 100% improvement to max Germinate after you max Shukuchi...
max swarm after shukuchi is standard...

This is me being upset.
Nah, its just to make the model look nicer, having him do something when the heroes are away. Its the same sword the guy is working on in the Workshop Image:
