Fayde's initiation is build in though :3Insured said:Fayde has kind of the same issues as deadwood, as in PEBBLES does it better. Only deadwood has an easier time farming/denying. It might have been considered OP and all that, but when her ult left an illusion behind you could do really clever things with it, and she felt all that more awesome to play from just one illusion

Ra is lovely and stress-free, especially in the jungle. Super easy farming, can do insane diving with your ult up etc. I've been building a tablet on him after helm / mystic vestments, had some great success. Fantastic for repositioning after ult, or getting out of pharaoh's gay mummies and meteoring back with an advantage
Also, even if I don't like upgrading vestments to headdress that often (I think the 1650g could be far better used elsewhere usually) on RA it does make perfect sense, what with using hp instead of mana for spells.

So how do you add yourself to the GAF crowd again? I've been interested in pairing up with more rational players (GAF HAS to be better than most of these crazy people that start calling me the n and f word).

Alright, so thanks to the confirmed interest of GAF, our mini-IHL is a go. Look for a thread tonight or tomorrow with the details.
Sil and Engineer are the only heroes I think were OP. Aluna was thought to be a really bad hero until the competitive pick her up and she's now a stable of an aggressive trilane. Dampeer was called OP and received a 2 second cool down nerf and he's one of the worst heroes (by win percentage) now.Kaper said:
Also, anyone watch the DWi vs DM game? 800 gpm farming Magebane.
Haha, I just realize the cast is from 6 months ago.bzm said:

There's the VOD if you want it.
He was called OP because his "stun" was like Maliken's ult (it goes through Shruken) and he was a ganker. People just didn't know how to deal with him for the first few days. Also, stupid people was saying his passive aura was OP.Kaper said:
EDIT: S2 people are saying the new hero isn't an INT hero on Reddit.

I still remember back when Engi was OP I built Barbed Armor and stood near his turret. That was probably before Barbed got nerfed too.

Running around like that is kinda "cool" from an aesthetic standpoint but I agree that it's a pain in the ass to target people when they're scared like that. I'm not sure why they can't just make it a variant animation for "stun". Just have the heroes shiver in fear, or back away slowly, or whatever. =/
How are you guys doing the IH? I'm a fan of persistent teams since this is how my old basketball pickup group used to run for around 4 years straight. Basically only 2 teams exist (since GAF tops out at 10-11 available at any one time) and each team is composed of 5-8 GAF players with no ringers allowed unless the other team (all 5) agrees. Each team of 5 to 8 will have to be balanced as realistically even/fair as possible such that in an ideal season, each team will win 50% of all games.
Each team picks a name and their W-L record is tracked publicly on the thread. Additionally, either someone volunteers or each GAF player is responsible for tracking his individual W-L record. This is needed because one team might have 6 players online while the other only has 4. In cases like these, all players have to agree on who gets to play on the opposite team for that game, and in the spirit of keeping it competitive, if the team of 4 already has a rice-carry like Meeru they're not going to be gifted bzm just because the opposite team can't run 6 people. The point is to make each game as competitive as possible.
If after several games, it becomes clear that one team's makeup is always dominating the other, a swap of player(s) may be initiated and agreed upon by a majority vote. Games don't have to be planned, due to member availability, which is why we're fielding more than 5 for each team. Also it would be wise to find out when Meeru needs to work if you're the opposing team :3.
Thoughts on this? I play with so many different groups of people online that I rarely play with GAF but if we had this sort of structure I would definitely make this my priority. Having rounds of 5-10 games each or a placement-type first 3 matches might be a good idea to help balance the teams but its really fun if you play like this for several weeks and the stats start building up and you get to find out who contributes the most to his team's wins. This also gives a good incentive for a team to try TMM for practicing when the other team doesn't have enough online to play.
