Just fucking stop. i like how the kid tweeting alienware is some random account on twitter with 1 follower and an sc2 icon. These people must have the saddest lives. I don't know about Alienware but one of Navi's other sponsors' had a pr person commenting in the initial thread very shortly after the incident anyways. It's sort of a PR nightmare that is better to be addressed sooner rather than later. Yeah, getting sponsors involved is ridiculous but it's not the sort of reputation most companies/people want to be associated with | ||

When someone calls another person a faggot, they aren't derogatorily calling them a homosexual. It's just another random curse word, like fuck face. Language evolves, context matters. It's easy to say things like that when you're not actually part of the marginalised group in question (I'm guessing you're not gay, and might also be white, male who identifies as male, able-bodied etc etc). If you want to talk about context, the context is a history of gay people being denied basic human rights which persists today. They've had a shitty enough time already, let's not continue using a word that is still used by many to refer to them (yes, people still do use faggot to refer to gay people, not just annoying people) as a broad insult. You don't get to pick what the word means because it's not about you. Your response is too lazy and I've seen it far too many times to just let it slide. | ||

If something I learned being in a relatively big city is that, especially homosexual guys don't care about what others think of them. And funny enough, the few gay guys I actually met are open-minded guys who have NO issue whatsoever if some retard goes around and calls them faggot. User was warned for this post | ||

Doesn't matter if there's a bunch of people that don't care, there's enough that do that if someone just keeps doing this shit when they're told to stop they're just gonna keep looking like a tool. | ||

Morphling is quite item dependent so you can't get away with having bad farm if you want to carry versus like a Drow Ranger that can do big deeps with like lothars/hotd. When you get level 6 use your ult as a way to either A) be able to jump into a teamfight while splitpushing like spectre or B)jump to another lane to continue split pushing if you're getting ganked. Level 3-4 Waveform is quite nice for flash farming if you have some form of mana regen (Aquila/Perserverence, etc.) Item builds are pretty variable but a lot of it judging what you need based on the enemy team. Linkens vs lots of strong single target disables, manta for getting rid of debuffs and split pushing even harder, HotD for stacking ancients/manfighting, etc. I don't think Eth Blade is still quite as viable but if you miraculously get fed and can get it early you can still own with shotgun build. | ||

I was still doing it the wc3 style, 1-f-left click first meepo, 2-f-left click first meepo etc. I was kinda confused with the amount of agha-blink meepos I saw on mm and I thought that everyone suddenly went pro. I'm not too excited to play meepo now, too easy. | ||

The other day someone called me a faggot and told me to stop sucking so much dick. Does "sucking so much dick" not mean the same thing anymore? | ||
