It's a ton of burst, because you take away 20% of the heroes hp and amplify it by the orchid burn! Also, you'll never run out of mana, so you can use the stun way more often and still have mana for ultimate! SICK and when do you buy armlet/bkb/ac ?

Shouldn't the Mortal Strike burst not count towards the Orchid damage amp since it's HP removal (i.e. doesn't count as damage)?
Maledict would work though.

Yup, doesn't work with orchid(Mortal strike that is).

HP removal doesn't count as damage, so it shouldn't be adding to Orchid Burn damage.

Obviously they are a strong team that could adapt to the playstyle of any version, but I feel that the changes in 6.78 shifted the game toward a playstyle that they are far more comfortable with than prior versions. Weren't people saying the same thing in 6.77 ? "Alliance got hit so much by the patch, they'll fall apart" (when 6.78 got released)

People said that because they thought Bulldog was the core to the teams success so LD being hit was overall bad for the team. They wrongly assessed the strengths of Alliance so misinterpreted how the patch would effect them.

A big part of it was just that Bulldog improved tenfold from 6.77 to TI3 so the patch "hurting" Alliance was mitigated by their worst hit player making up for it.
|
I don't think Alliance is as reliant on the meta as people make it out to be. They just play a lot.
|
i don't think Alliance will be as dominant post TI, because Na'vi exposed that they aren't nearly as strong without Akke and EGM on their favored supports

Not when their supports were banned. They won when Na'Vi banned high-valued roles 1-3, because Alliance's 1-3 players had a larger range of played heroes (yes, even Bulldog).

TIME TO PLAY SOME BATRIDER

I think i stopped talking bad on bulldog since late march, the dude really delivered big time since they were stabilized for 6.78, and if you watched his stream, his mechanics on his heroes that he needs to be good at are so damn refined and i can barely see any 'bad habit' from him (that hand speed on buying detection!!) compared to some players who have been playing the game for ages. I'd guess that [A] spent quite some effort on analyzing their replays when they were first get together as a team for the first few months at least.
I have no doubt if [A] actually worked harder than chinese teams lol. From what i see is that chinese supports really need to put some work on analyzing some replays of the opponents, they keep getting screwed by the warding/anti-warding during early game in TI3.

duel mid bane+ ogre magi is a hard fucking lane when both bane and ogre have random gold...... soul ring first bane.... last hitting with 20 damage is hard, even with storms passive, then he turned level 3. Why isnt bane picked more mid to make noobs like me sad..

TBH Bulldog can play any heroes if he want it lol (base on his stream lol). It just that, when [A] pick LD, it is usually for him. And the stigma stays on for team benefit, when the oppo ban LD, he can play something else.

I die with an Aegis. Enemy Silencer Global Silences when I spawn, I take a bunch of damage, so I BKB -> Time lapse...back to the 0 hp I had before dying. I barely escape, but then send my bugs in on the way out, hitting a Viper. His debuff hits me every time my bug attacks him, and I die.
