Anyway you gotta take Richard Lewis with a grain of salt, it's not the first time he incites stale drama to get his name out and then pretends it hurts him deeply and that he is just misunderstood or some shit when he mainly does it to stay relevant. Of course my judgement is also perhaps clouded by my past dealings with 4Kings, which painted him rather underhanded in my eyes. | ||

"Hum yeah the sky is blue, but perhaps some days it's more blue, so I don't know, and what about the sun, we can't see it at night right, what do you think about that, perhaps it's bad, on the other hand Riot gets a lot of flack so I don't understand." Wtf. You feel he wants to criticize but he doesn't know how to (mostly because there is nothing really to criticize), so he just keeps going on saying nothing and also "dota fanboys". It's funny to talk about fanboys when you act like a basic fanboy. | ||

Teams have had time to practice properly against him. So he's not going to be this "either we ban naga or we lose" type of deal like IT3 had. Alchemist. You lose if you let him free farm / dont aggressive trilane him. He's very strong in trilane vs trilane situations. He can be played as support. He's flexible in how he can be built - even Mek is pretty good on him. He can instant kill gank solo heroes (in the same vain as a shotgun morph) with just a shadowblade. He can be played mid relatively effectively in a handful of matchups. He probably will be banned a lot though, so there's that. He's really underpicked in the West, and Na'Vi pretty much dominated TD4 with this hero. | ||

It's a strong advantage to have all players of their team being able to play him. It's like saying "check" in poker when the other guys have to place a bet. | ||

Thorin was also on Lo3 soon after that and when he was on and Dota was brought up he admitted that he didn't know the game. He asked questions or posed issues. Didn't talk about things he didn't know or try to bring up something just to argue about it. And he is, nowadays, pretty much just a LoL guy. | ||

First rule: If Meepo is drafted, finish your beer. Ok, on to the rules that will matter: Draft: One drink if: Wisp is first ban. Game: One drink if: First blood before creeps even touch eachother. | ||

IF someone has to ask if they need to drink, then its a bad rule. Draft: One drink if: Wisp is first ban. Every time a team gets away with PL, KotL Every time a team responds with Earthshaker Game: One drink if: First blood before creeps even touch eachother. One drink every time disruptor sends back a player that TPs in with Glimpse. If Tobi misses first blood, 2 drinks If Merlini Police is mentioned, finish your drink. | ||

When he said "amazingly overused" I assume he meant "strong but not as strong as people actually think she is". Like how Na'Vi took advantage of the fact that pretty much every team over-drafted Naga without properly evaluating how much she was worth. If we're talking about a hero that was just strong across the board and in the draft every game, that was Lycan, not Naga. | ||
