EPTShukuchi comes from Japanese so I don't blame Tobi for messing that up (though I would think it would be fairly intuitive to say either way). I still can't get over how ridiculous it is that he says nothing but "KotL blast" though

So either mechanism is the Valve official pronunciation or the voice actors fucked up. Check it out: http://www.dota2wiki.com/wiki/Lich_responses http://www.dota2wiki.com/wiki/Enigma_responses Dazzle too I think. | ||

How else would you even pronounce it? Let alone when you buy the item all the heroes say "mechanism." | ||

Something like "mehkansum". I don't know why you'd pronounce it mechanism, and Valve is not infallible. | ||

That's pulling imaginary letters out of the air just like saying mekanism. Actually you're putting in more letters to pronounce that than you are by saying mekanism. | ||

Come at me :-j On a more serious note: Naga and Lycan are making a comeback to competitive dota, thoughts? Lycan is as strong as ever except he's not one of the best jungler, so you have to give him a lane to completely crush the game later, if the team composition is right. Naga, I don't know. People use her as a carry that's immune to wisp ganks, or to set up huge ultimates with Silencer usually. (At least in the games I've seen with her) It seemed to me that she never really achieved much at all, and her early game damage is awful for lasthitting. Not that it matters now tho, the standard is 4-1-0 vs 0-1-4, so both carries have complete freefarm, anyway. | ||

Typically, she's run as a support when she's picked now where her ultimate and her net are really valuable (pretty good against Naix, tbh). I've only seen her run as a carry once or twice. | ||

BKB first is overkill since you dont wana expire the charges early game. QoP is a snowball hero, as long as you get kills early on you should be fine. | ||
