It's as though none of you have read any of the standards for strategy suggestions here at TL

From the SC2 Forums strategy section

Rule No 1: Everything you say must be supported by evidence.

The game is evolving all the time and no one has a definite answer for every strategy related question for SC2. Thus, it is extremely important that you back up everything with sound reasoning, a replay, or a VOD, anything that supports the point you are making. Your word is not enough. A one-line response to a post without anything to support it is not acceptable. In the same token, simply posting stories of what you do without any analysis or explanation in response to another post is not acceptable.

Do note that the evidence doesn't have to be my own games. If I say that AM can get naked battle fury by 11min consistantly and then show pajkatt doing that it's fine.

But you didn't, you went based off YOUR EXPERIENCE.

Another thing. The Bloodstone Divine Rapier medusa build that people laughed at once again, it's not my idea. It's Beesa's:

https://dotabuff.com/players/43908335

He also said BF Medusa is viable, though not optimal. Which I never argued.


People just enjoy them witch hunts and don't even notice that the posts mocking me are far worse in quality than my posts themselves.

I say general things and my experiences. Not all of them are my experiences... Many of my PL stuffs are from ZSMJ for example, though they're old.

Then again it's been forever so I guess it's my impressions of his stuff which of course will get "lost in transmission"

That would be perfectly fine, what is expected, and good discussion, but instead you post like this

In my opinion if you pick a midgame hero PL is a terrible idea.

Can you... point out the problems? The second one is echoing many progamers, don't see the problem. The third one's what I'd do in the situation I don't need soul ring(complete freefarm). What's wrong with those? Would the progamers not go for a 13min radi when given complete freefarm?

The first one you might have a problem with, that I can see. But what's wrong with it? I think it's pretty accurate...

Stomping as a team of 5 means the build is legit? ok...

Maybe you shouldn't act like you know all of dota just because you came from 1300 ELO in LoL. Look at your posting behavior, all of your posts regarding heroes and items give the impression of "I KNOW DOTA".

Last part is your opinion.

#1 "Yeah, Radiance is awesome because you can farm multiple places at once.", all fine. His post isn't saying "lol 820 sucks at DotA", it's just a stab back at some comments a few pages back.

#2 Yes, there are way better heroes to pick for midgame than PL. Again that statement is valid. What he forgets is that certain builds can - supposedly - make his midgame strong enough to be relevant.

#3 He claims Tranquils+Soul Ring lets you hold up in any lane in pubs. Here I have honestly no clue, but I can see it. He says neither that it's #1 build nor that it's something everyone should do in pubs.


So much drama for nothing.

I wouldn't post wonky theorycraft ideas there. In fact I've never done so.


Oh yeah that's for OPs also, I'm pretty sure. Especially the evidence part.

So
I tried out Magnataur in Dota 2.

It seems like his ulti got nerfed somehow?
Reverse Polarity range and sucking aoe got a bit smaller.
It is almost the same as DS Vacuum but a better version of it with stun and damage.

Though Magnataur can still be a top pick.
I am expecting more Magna+Naga combo since the Naga+DS combo won't work so well as before since Vacuum got nerfed freaking hard.
Play your best

It's as though none of you have read any of the standards for strategy suggestions here at TL

From the SC2 Forums strategy section

Rule No 1: Everything you say must be supported by evidence.

The game is evolving all the time and no one has a definite answer for every strategy related question for SC2. Thus, it is extremely important that you back up everything with sound reasoning, a replay, or a VOD, anything that supports the point you are making. Your word is not enough. A one-line response to a post without anything to support it is not acceptable. In the same token, simply posting stories of what you do without any analysis or explanation in response to another post is not acceptable.

Do note that the evidence doesn't have to be my own games. If I say that AM can get naked battle fury by 11min consistantly and then show pajkatt doing that it's fine.


That would be perfectly fine, what is expected, and good discussion, but instead you post like this

Drum and Diffusal Blade made him a sick mid game hero.

In my opinion if you pick a midgame hero PL is a terrible idea.

Why would you go soul ring when you are farming?

I wouldn't, I'd probably rush straight radiance with nothing for a 13min radiance etc.

However if you do need to lane like in pubs, tranquil + soul ring lets you win it against just about anything I think


Can you... point out the problems? The second one is echoing many progamers, don't see the problem. The third one's what I'd do in the situation I don't need soul ring(complete freefarm). What's wrong with those? Would the progamers not go for a 13min radi when given complete freefarm?

The first one you might have a problem with, that I can see. But what's wrong with it? I think it's pretty accurate...

Above is why many posters have issue with Shikyo


This isn't the SC2 strategy forums, I know that's really strict.

I wouldn't post wonky theorycraft ideas there. In fact I've never done so.


Oh yeah that's for OPs also, I'm pretty sure. Especially the evidence part.


What happened to the Bfury Dusa?

I didn't make an OP of it in the SC2 strategy forums. It's a situational build, viable but not optimal, generally for pubs. Posted as a tongue-in-cheek because I at the time had given the impression that I like building Battle Fury on everything, so I figured it'd be nice to post about a semi-viable build on a ranged hero as self-satire. Also, it's really not a troll build, though not considered optimal.

I don't get the big deal with that, would people really freak out like that if I posted about another non-optimal but still viable build that doesn't have such an inbuilt "OMG CLEAVE DOESN'T WORK ON RANGED HERO" controversy baiter? (I guess they actually do freak out but <.<)

Yeah of course, though I'm not sure if this really is theorycraft at all o_O

I don't think its a good thing to use the highest level of professional players as a standard for MM games. Especially if you cite ZSMJ back when he was the top farming carry during the height of his career.

Its not like PL is known for stomping pubs. If your going to build radiance on him then you are choosing to play a late game oriented build, where you use Radiance to farm like a mofo for another 20-25 minutes, and in the meantime you are all but useless. But that strategy means you have to have a team that wont lose the game during that interval, which is why PL isnt a pubstomper.


PL actually is known for stomping pubs, at least at very low level. When it gets to lategame he is impossible to deal with and people don't push in low skill bracket.

He also has invisibility, which makes him 100% ungankable in the low skill bracket
When in doubt, just believe in yourself and press buttons

Seeing that the majority of DotA games are played in low skill bracket and his win-rate is around 45% i can say that, no he is not known for stomping pubs. Unless ocassionally carrying his team equals stomping, i mean actual pub stompers like ursa has a win-rate to back up the title 'pub stomper' while PL does not have this.

And seeing that PL also has a high win-rate WITH expensive item kind of speaks against your comment of "No pushing" since the fact that him with expensive items = good winrate would imply that he loses before these expensive items comes up to achieve such a low overall win-rate.

Either that or the majority of PL player are just horrible farmers.
From the Ghastly Eyrie I can see to the ends of the world, and from this vantage point I declare with utter certainty that this one is in the bag!

I think the moral of the story is that if you say something and get flamed for the next 20 posts, stop arguing and apologize that you were wrong. Yes, everything is situational. But if you're discussing a situation that's virtually impossible to pull off, then stop discussing it.
