rest are meh atm (not including besides the 2 newest heroes zet and wyvern)
The 'list' from international was not really spot on. Also, if you look at the cyborgmatt unreleased hero list, it gives a pretty good idea of whats coming up.
Skywrath looks to be closest to being finished, followed by bristlebog and than abaddon.
list of having an impact on the competitive game right now.
Looks like Machinima is invading dota scene after their successful contents in LoL and CoD(?). If the rumor of them buying IPL is true, NA scene got hope for near future.

are you a man who randoms and then makes your friend give you abbadon then starts oov boot
Because the Chinese ran this silly Pitlord + Undying push combo where having infinite corpses meant infinite corpse explosions, it was basically the Naga tide of that era

Sounds fun, but sadly OoV wasn't in the game when I played wc3 dota
Whats your guys favorite way to build PL nowadays? Lately I've been playing him and going tranqs ->soul ring -> drums -> difusal -> heart, then normally bfly and manta. Is rushing radiance still in or not really with the more agressive style that everyone seems to play now? And are soul ring and drums needed or is it smart to just rush difusal after tranqs possibly?
My issue would be how would you deal with mana problems? with tranqs soul ring gives a ton of free mana, plus bonus mana regen. I guess I can see skipping drums, although they seem so good with +9 stats giving images more hp, and the attack speed aura.

builds really depends on the games you're in. easy games i go tranq defusal heart (should have all those sub 20min) hardgames perhaps a drum before defusal
radiance isnt very popular now days. soul ring is meh some ppl really like it, i personally dont like that item one bit. some people prefer to opt for a yasha to farm but meh not the greatest idea. i personally would love to face a pl who goes yasha before defusal when he has freefarm.

what kind of mana problems are you having? are you taking points in stats?

You shouldn't have any mana problems, the first 20 minutes of the game are completely spent farming. You don't really need to be throwing spirit lance that much.
If you are having any mana issues, soul ring is STILL a waste, get an Aquila instead.

Its what almost every PL does in competitive games.

are we playing in competitive games? pl that goes yasha before defusal wants to farm more and invest into a longer game. pubs can be ended by a pl with defusal + heart so why spend more time farming. i dont know about you but even when im a hard carry in pubs i dont plan to farm more than 15-20mins.

? I'm doing the most effective thing to win, if by 25 minutes i've managed to farm up a Diffu/manta/ most of a heart I'm going to win.
Yasha increases the amount of farm you get in that first 20 minutes dramatically, and Manta is a fantastic item on PL.

manta is a fine item on pl, not before defusal or heart. maybe yasha after defusal and before heart. in pubs a fast defusal is game breaking, where as a fast yasha just means more ricing.
I see, so then lance spam isnt really needed for harassing people out of your lane so you can farm, and for farming jungle faster? Also do you put points in stats before more points in illusions?
