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.

The connection between "I don't care about this" and "it shouldn't exist" is ludicrous.

I'm not saying that it shouldn't exist. I'm saying that it should exist under natural circumstances, supported by people who are actually interested in watching it. I'm not saying that because I don't like watching, that no one will. What I mean is, there is no point inflating the number of people who are interested by having people that aren't watch it to pretend they are.

The idea that we should artificially boost viewership for lower tier games is pretty bizarre to me. Gaming the system to try to trick companies into thinking that sponsoring dota is more profitable than it actually is is in no way sustainable. Not only will people stop watching tournaments they aren't interested in over time, but sponsors will eventually realize that they aren't getting the return on their investment that they expect.

Trying to mislead sponsors is an awful idea.

This is a much more reasonable and grammatically correct way of saying what I attempted to.

/shrug.. I don't feel like thats really that worth it, like, the additional passives it disables were a much bigger buff than the aghs silliness.
don't tell me to provide a legend for those charts cause we already got shaella in this thread - eieio | Bulba is my waifu

I think Aghanims Omniknight and a treant allows a team to just hold until their carry is up and running. good luck raxing vs 2 glyphs and overgrowth.

Didnt a couple teams run him as a pulling support with like TA mid to let her push an advantage and skip BKB for more damage around this time last year? I could be crazy and youd honestly want him to farm more than that to get an Aghas up in at a decent time

He's essentially like a defensive panda when run as 2nd. he can lane pretty decently for a melee, his ult is still a fight winning ultimate, it has a long cooldown, blink aghs is enough build up for him to be effective for a team. unlike some mids, when he gets an illusion rune he can gank off of it (illusions project degen aura). He's really not terrible mid. he's similar to magnus in laning power, and to panda in usage.

He was run as an offlaner by EG for a bit but these days your offlaner needs to be able to get farm somehow which normally means can jungle.
