It's meant to be blocked by magic immunity. Either you're imagining things or you encountered a bug.

Also damn i sometimes forget how many electric/razor puns Razor has.
From the Ghastly Eyrie I can see to the ends of the world, and from this vantage point I declare with utter certainty that this one is in the bag!

The thing is, Tusk can initiate/gank effectively pre-6. Snowball->Shards can grab kills in lane or in roaming ganks. In general, the hero just needs levels to be useful--He has two good point-and-click disables, a third "soft"disable, and the Frozen Sigil is actually crazy good if you can keep it alive (25% MS slow 60% AS slow). This makes him better suited as a 4th position roaming gank hero, and therefore not a really good comparison to Mag or Clock.

Really, the best comparison to Tusk is actually Nyx--and while Nyx is stupidly strong, he doesn't get through the bans that often, so Tusk is a reasonable alternative for a similar role.

I feel as though this comparison works perfectly if you imagined snowball being usable as a strong escape mechanism as well (Spiked Carapace) and you gave him insane base health regen so that he can skirmish even though he is melee.

Even then you have two problems, one of his nukes doesn't scale as well, he doesn't have that escape mechanism and even if it was reliable it is also his main stun, and finally his big ultimate nuke doesn't come with free initiation that actually costs the enemy supports gold to counter.

That is of course just the bullshit that is Nyx's current kit so it makes it hard to compare.
What does it matter how I loose it?

No idea where Heyoka found this piece of info, but thoughts if this would happen? Dropping the team to qualifiers because of possible change in the team?

Matt ‏@RealHeyoka
soooooo LGD.cn demoted to TI3 quals? sgamer seems to think that...


Also, happy birthday Yango.

Also, happy birthday Yango.

The current rumor or whatever is that LGD.cn's spot becomes a second east qualifying slot (IE top two eastern teams get invites, 3rd goes to wildcard tournament). This was being rumored like hours after they lost longdd though.

LGD.CN likely would qualify in over their competition, but it's sort of the the thought that counts here.

There hasn't been anything official about any of this as far as I know.
