So any idea when ti3 fantasy rewards are coming out? There was something about them tucked in the test patch, but nothing in the main client patched that just rolled out it seems.

Watching sing play with 1437 makes me realize how much i miss old mouz.

While treads are still a good choice on NS, I generally prefer phase boots simply because the phase effect helps immensely when chasing through creep waves etc, plus you don't really need the attack speed at night anyway.

The advantage of Treads is that it provides a more "secure" lategame. The Treads DPS becomes much stronger lategame, and Treads also farms faster during the daytime.

It depends a lot on your role on the team and how many gank opportunities you get during the night time.

How does denied creep XP work on heroes that change their melee-range forms? Do they have it set as to what their original forms were?

Chasing with phase boots is too valuable I find. No blocking and since you generally not limited by attackspeed in that case the damage helps. NS is all about tempo so I don't really worry about securing late game. It's all about how to keep the tempo in your favour and gain a bigger advantage. Generally that just means bkb and deep wards but some cases it means a bit more.

Let me just add quickly this is 100% referring to pubs. Team games require different mentality towards item progression since you often link it together with your team a lot more.

I'm finding myself choosing Treads more and more nowadays. The toggle feature to it is sooo valuable on most heroes when casting spells etc. besides its dps of course.

I just don't get the whole #purgegamer thing period. I guess he captured the market early with his videos kind of like Husky did for SC2 so it'll probably phase out once the community matures. Kind of like how Husky doesn't really have a big sc2 imprint anymore.

I actually watch purge video's quite a lot, although mostly to learn about heroes that I want to pick-up or know about.

I think he bitches a bit too much about other players. But as a fairly soft-spoken person myself, other people often seem to do that in my eyes.

however, besides that, since he is better at the dotes then me, and being able to just google "purge <hero name>" then getting a couple of games to watch is pretty convenient for a beginner like me.

The only other peeve I have with him is that he always plays aggressive, even when he tries to play support he will end up forgoing support duties and transition into more of a semi-carry and become a ganker. Which is absolutely fine no doubt. But isn't something that I as a beginner can take much away from.

I would probably not watch him stream though, his youtube video's are good for educational purposes, but for entertainment I'd rather watch someone like singsing or firebolt. They provide more entertainment, either by how they play or by their interactivity with the viewers.
