Any tips on jungling with enchantress? I've been doing pretty well with her. right now i'm 4-0 w/ her (her ulti is ridic). I played original dota, a long ass time ago, back the in days pre-morphling release, and when enchantress ulti was just a regular spell. | ||

I mean no crit skill, no crit items and the crit animation (red numbers) just pop like no tomorrow @_@ The red numbers are probably the bonus damage from bash procs. Oh and speaking of tobi + pro casting duo... Fear didn't know Nick was just an AKA of silvercross, so I guess pros can sometimes be just as clueless as tobi when it comes to casting. :D | ||

Sure, Tobi's awesome, his enthusiasm during teamfights is what really gets me interested in the cast, but his game knowledge is sometimes questionable, compared to, say, a regular MMer. | ||

or they cant even run the feild without catching breath? the point is: excitement is what we need to growth a sport and Tobi provides that... how many people watch soccer actually understand how the formation and positioning of a team works or they just watch it to see score? This is why most of the up and coming caster in sc2 scene cant live up to the people who already up there on the market: their knowledge about the game is shit (else they already be playing instead) and their play by play casting is damn boring (open production tab and read food is so so hard). This is why i think most people are bashing on itsgosu stream atm... the caster is too much 'robotic'. Even a NORMAL pub player would scream if they see a long range 5 sec stun arrow but he is just 'stay calm' and read the gold graph.... If you dont have any emotion into this game, its clearly that you dont play it and love it to actually cast it. | ||

But they shouldn't act like they do know -.- They also should not rudely interrupt the co-casters just in order to scream stupid shit at the top of their lungs. Neither should they make stupid jokes that create awkward silent pauses in the casting. Tobi does both. Frequently. I also fail to understand how people don't grow tired of Tobi's screaming. If he would save the screaming only for rare occasions then sure, it has dramatic effect and is hype-inducing, but if you scream at every little engagement and every kill that happens it becomes an annoyance that really disrupts the casting (especially when you have a co-caster). In my mind Tobi is one of the worst casters ever. He is not even close to the lower-tier SC2-casters. (Synderen, however, is a really good caster.)

No, he does not know more about the game than the average player. Until just recently he didn't even know that silence doesn't interrupt tp-scrolls. | ||

Tobi's game knowledge is way higher than any of the viewers that's certain. The amount of times he properly analyzes and predicts the hero a team will choose before-game is VERY decent for a color commentator. | ||

I dunno it's like when i play riki everyone on the opp team is all "herp derp I can go wander around solo, no one will get me!" but when I play BH everyone on the opp team is like "dude there's this invis dude who can gank like 3 of us. Let's all stick together as 5 and never leave anyone alone!". Like the fuck? | ||

I played a few games with him tonight and it's either not my style or I just get teams that love to roam as 5 and I can never do shit for ganking. This then causes our late game to be terrible team wise and me to not have shit for farm. Then we get rolled. I dunno it's like when i play riki everyone on the opp team is all "herp derp I can go wander around solo, no one will get me!" but when I play BH everyone on the opp team is like "dude there's this invis dude who can gank like 3 of us. Let's all stick together as 5 and never leave anyone alone!". Like the fuck? typical pub (mid tier) reaction to invi heroes or late game carries. There are 2 ways in solving this: you either work as a team and AVOID TEAM FIGHT and trade towers for towers (which is really hard to do, dont apply to pub). Or split out solo push AM style(with tele scroll) while your team defend (4+tower vs 5 is kinda even), farmed out with BKB and solo their team. BH will only shine if you have good stun support entering 6-7 mins mark where you are lv 5-6 and ready to kill people. Its important for you to stay alive bc you are the semi carry of your team and more track in team fight simply means more gold for everyone. If you really have problem here are some replays I played BH just for some index: 8750821, 8251104, 8220627... You could also watch sing_sing stream vods and find some good BH play  On March 27 2012 15:07 Dubzex wrote: What kind of noob build is that?

After practicing Chen for 3 weeks straight, I now have the power. ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/Skpwn.jpg) 3 kills 3 assists for the first 5 min. Was counter-jungling them and they just did not see it coming. I love Chen so much. | ||

Tobi's game knowledge is NOT way higher than any of the viewers that's certain. What you said is so not true. The thing is why everyone thinks he's knowledgeable is that he sounds very confident when saying things, even when they are so so wrong... There are many many examples of that. Also, Tobi is not a color commentator. A color commentator is the analytic one. That's a common terminology misconception. And yeah, it is pretty weird, I thought it was the other way around for a long time, too. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_commentator | ||
