"Demands more skill from X player" does not automatically make a mechanic more fun or interesting. of course it does. seeing a lone druid juke his bear into the trees to survive a chase or a broodmother carefully farming several jungle camps with invisible spiderlings is way more interesting to watch then 2 anti mage illusions walking straigth into the enemy base to chip 200 health from a tier 3 tower once every minute like clockwerk while the other team is powerless to do something about it. edit: this is really my final post for the moment gtg. | ||

How are you going to balance that though? How do you differentiate between how PL illusions, Manta Illusions, Shadow Demon illusions, and Dark Seer Wall illusions work? Do they all give the same amount of gold? Do they give experience? Does it change based on illusion strength? I just don't see how its viable, aside from not really being interesting or necessary. @Saryph- That OP was... confusing? So many contradictions in one post hahaha. | ||

The Valve employee even warns him to stop talking shit. In the end, he gets a 2 month mute and 6 days LPQ. I don't know his previous history, so I can't say if 2 months is excessive, but it's hilarious anyway. Here's a quick example from the chat (he is DG.Fallen): 51:44 (47:59) Jesus' Mom: x( yes 51:44 (48:00) DG.Fallen: talk shit? 51:50 (48:06) DG.Fallen: shut the fuck up kid 51:50 (48:06) PwnerHoya: you=nub 51:52 (48:07) DG.Fallen: goddamn 51:54 (48:09) Jesus' Mom: nono u're so bad 51:59 (48:14) DG.Fallen: your whole team is filled with fucking faggots isn't it? 52:05 (48:20) DG.Fallen: sad 52:07 (48:22) Life: yea naix noob 52:11 (48:27) DG.Fallen: that you're even allowed to play in this community 52:12 (48:28) Jesus' Mom:  52:14 (48:30) Jesus' Mom: report pls 52:26 (48:42) DG.Fallen: it's honestly sad that you are taking up a slot in this game community 52:29 (48:45) DG.Shoe: End this game 52:36 (48:52) DG.Fallen: someone else who loved dota 1 could have taken your spot Medu or Puge http://pastebin.com/pqSAYkjc | ||

(Like if that is something to be proud of) Also he tells everyone he has 1k hours in dota 2, and 3k in dota, as if that should protect him from punishment. | ||

His most played hero is Spirit Breaker, followed by Naix. He clearly deserves it. | ||

Illusions are balanced to offer up no gold and in return they have flaws like less damage. Other abilities that let you spawn things have set damage values and are more valuable in general. Making them worth gold would remove the primary benefit of illusions, that they can cause damage independent of your hero and cannot give gold. | ||

I know, I think it might shock him that no one has been there ever and he is really just a massive jerk. But some people don't like that you can be punished for being a huge jerk. I think the best part if how he claims is an abuse of power, we Valve can do as they please and gives no fucks. I mean, if you tell a judge to fuck off, what do you think he does? He throws the book at you. Edit: OMG the freedom of speech arguments are the best, my god. They are quoting the French constitution. This thread is amazing. | ||

The best part for me was when he said he wouldn't have been such a massive ass if he had known it was really a valve employee who could do something about it. | ||

Why is he going to EG? brax I understand they need 4 players, but I don't think I've even seen this MSS character on top MMR queue, unless someone wants to give me some aliases he used in the last year? I think he's young though. Under 18, could be wrong. | ||

Regardless, fear + just about any 4 is a big step up for this EG squad. | ||
