IRC chatter should remain in IRC - http://webchat.quakenet.org/?channels=tl.dota2

Posts that relate to topics with their own thread, such as in News, Tournaments or Strategy should go in those threads.

I'm not saying its Demon's fault, I'm saying at that level, almost every time Invoker makes it through and is a pick, the Invoker does something extraordinary to make the difference. This doesn't mean Demon played bad, it means he didn't play as well as the hero can be played.

wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, a billion times wrong for game 1. there wasnt much more he couldve done with his teams lineup, i'm not sure how well you know invoker's limitations and the amount of balls* EG dropped that game. watch the game over again you can scrutinize his play but no invoker, barring except a low possibility the very few elite invokers, really couldve done ANYTHING. quantic brought their game, but EG didnt, if you dont believe what i say here watch the game again.

Demon isn't the captain, nor is Maelk. Fear is the captain, Maelk is the DRAFTER.

Either way Demon's Invoker is so like...bland. It doesn't take over the game, doesn't help his teammates perform well enough to win, he just goes neutral in alne against his opponent, maybe wins his lane, doesn't farm at a supreme rate, just....average maybe a bit above average. It just wasn't enough to win the game or help his team win the game when using a first pick on invoker. He does everything good but nothing great.

And then giving Quantic AM is just....I don't get it, they should rather give Prophet Ench Chen, but instead they give both AM and Ench in the end. I'm not a better drafter than Maelk but that just blew my mind, you know Link fucking loves AM.

The only correct thing in this entire post is your first line.

It's hilariously obvious that you don't play invoker well at all, nor understand from watching pro invoker players the limitations of that hero. For 2 brief examples: Invokers don't go into into the lane to ' farm at a supreme rate ' or dominate the other solo. Invoker's strengths are his unrivaled regen, range, and ability to disrupt the other solo with snap SOMETIMES because most solos can ignore that. He has no skills to harass or farm faster than most other mid solos. You make it seem like invoker is an imba mid. He's actually average and just there for the levels. Most of the time you are looking to break even in solo mid lane.

Next, even considering Link plays am better than most of his other heroes, it doesn't overshadow the fact the impact that a hero like Prophet can have on a game. Prophet is one of like 3[?] heroes that can impose his will onto the game no matter what's happening. Seems to me you just go along with the popular opinion or tobi wan's analysis seems to say about LINK = AM = PROBABLE WIN.

Even if you disagree, it's like you said. Maelk is a better drafter than you.
