IRC chatter should remain in IRC - http://webchat.quakenet.org/?channels=tl.dota2

Posts that relate to topics with their own thread, such as in News, Tournaments or Strategy should go in those threads.

Looking for a perfect example of a shotgun morph game, probably from TI2. Anyone know of one that was particularly good?

The game that the Maelk Award is from shows really well the advantages and disadvantages of shotgun morphling.
Namely:
pro: you one-shot supports really fast
con: eblade active is specifically for preying on low-health supports during midgame and unless you get stun off right afterwards (and it won't be a very long stun) you can't stop them from doing something fun like stealing RP or using ult or w/e if they get even a tiny bit of health or levels.

But he didn't go for shotgun morphling in that game, he had a pugna on his team.
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!

Yeah he is. Though the micro for him turns a lot of people off. Still he does so much damage its ridiculous. Love playing him vs clock.

What micro, you just a-move the birds and press Q if you want a stun, its not like you need high level micro with Visage in a pub.

Probably a silly question but why is Warlock never used competitively?

He is. Not as dominant as in pubs, but he definatelly sees play.

Teams drafted around avoiding fights are good against these long CD huge teamfight heroes, and that's a style of play that doesn't really work as well in pubs, among other things.

He also relies very much on his golem, without it he does still have Fatal bonds but is not as usefull during that downtime as other heroes, he can't gank, he can't stun or slow reliably etc. In 5on5 teamfights he is a monster though.

The downtime on warlock is actually smaller than you probably think. The CD on ult is 165 sec, with the golem being alive for 60 of those seconds after you cast it. This leaves him 105 seconds with no golem. Warlock can have a golem with him for over 1/3 of the time once he hits 6. Additionally, you cant "bait" his ult, since engaging into a warlock golem is still brutal, even without the stun.

Oh, man, is that right? I don't remember the game that well. I just remember Tobi waxing poetic about a Doom sword and a Mirana on one of the teams.

edit: rofl, it was singsing on pugna. Well I'll be damned.

Speaking of that, does Medusa's ult purge the golems or is it not an actual purge anymore?
