am i the only one who thinks morph got nerfed too hard?
most heroes that are insanely popular at a point in time are usually nerfed, but morph got stomped by icefrog
waveform aoe + cant attack. base dmg got reduced, morph mana cost increased. indirect nerf by giving eblade a huge manacost as well.
now i think morph is just too hard to play against good opponents, because you cant run him mid as well as before and for some reason i dont like morph on safelane much anymore.

Morph is fine, he just can't lane mid anymore. Invoker on the other hand got shafted hard.

Ok that was weird. I had a strange mixture of dreams last night. One of them was that I was playing DOTA2 and randomly searching for a game, I find one and accept.

Suddenly find I'm in Captain's Draft mode with a random pub team. I'm Captain and the opposition is NaVi (not figuratively, actually NaVi). I can't remember what the picks where beyond a few (I think I remember banning DS and Puppey picking QoP, then us randoming Sven for a last pick hard carry because the timer ran out). Finish drafting and then I crash and I reconnect but can't play unless I enter my account email, password, the game opposition name, the score and all sorts of other random stuff in this box to the side of the game screen (where the shop normally comes up). And I'm watching my team get smashed whilst I'm trying to enter this stuff.

I think my latest loss streak is having a strange effect on my subconscious. >_>

Clearly this. You must play until you can take down Na'Vi so that you can destroy puppey for this atrocity. It is the only way.

A while ago when I used to play A LOT, I had a dream where I was playing tag with Antimage and I couldn't catch the motherfucker. It was a pretty awful dream.

Whenever I have a dream about games that I play I realize that I should probably play less

You need Blink Refresher and Force staff to catch an AM. But if he builds the same then you are in a lot of trouble. You should urge Valve to add Arc Warden so you will have another Force staff then you may have hope.

Only 58 hours these past two weeks. >_>

I blame the fact I was playing a Captain mode game last night (although I wasn't drafting).

Sounds like a plan. :D

Seriously it was...weird as hell. I've never even had to draft before (played like three CM games total) and I was literally thinking "oh crap this is going to go so badly".

I actually...sort of did this in game once (ages ago now) but the other way around. For some reason the opposition decided Antimage would make a good solo mid vs Rubick. So I just stole his blink and harassed the hell out of him whilst getting farmed up. Occasionally he'd lose his temper and blink in and try to hit me but I'd just instant blink away and attack him some more.

Had a random thought that on paper seems like it'd be a pretty sick idea for them to add for people that want to play more competitively, play a specific role, meet others, etc.

I'd like to see some sort of mode where you can select a role position 1-5, maybe allowing everyone to pick up to 2 slots they'd like to play. Then based off that there's some sort of match making to put them all together on a team. Theoretically it could help do away with the 5 carry pub games and just complete shit shows of that nature. Only problem I can see is how it would narrow heroes down to a specific pool for a role since there's so much flexibility for many heroes. But think it'd be a nice way for people who are serious or want to get serious to easily find similar minded people.


What's stopping people from queueing up as 4 and 5 (which will likely be what least people would queue as) to get faster queue times and pick carries anyway? Only thing I can come up with is restrict people what heroes they can pick depending on their position, but that simply wouldn't work because positions can be so fluid, you can run NA as high as a 2, or as low as a 5, for example.

Accept that pubs will be pubs and nothing will ever change that. Play with friends/play inhouses if you want to try and make sure your lineup doesn't completely suck


That's what I was saying. The only conceivable downside is the fact you'd have to do something with the hero pool sorting things into roles and some heroes can be played in a lot of ways surely not everyone will agree on. I'm not entirely sure how you could sort that whole thing out realistically.

Having a more structured way for more people to try and get into the more competitive side of things certainly can't hurt. Understanding and trying to fit into a certain role for the greater good, finding other people who want to take the next step, etc. There's some way to make this work quite well, just a matter of figuring it out like any good problem.

Anyone else getting tired of the current metagame a bit? I'm sooo tired of seeing every game with Luna + Druid, and Naix + wisp crap; with a mix of gyro.

Like yes some teams run variations and "odd-ball" type line-ups, for example you'll see AM very periodically.. But for the most part its luna luna luna druid druid druid naix naix... zzz.

Starting to actually miss the old'ish metagame back around the time of Dreamhack when TA was picked almost every game and Sven line-ups ran rampant.

Well, I actually don't mind the other heroes... But whenever I see a luna game nowadays its just like zzzzzzzzz.

I actually miss seeing TA picked up.. You see her rarely nowadays.. TA games were actually decently exciting.
