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.

SOme of the item icons are better, some were just made more 3D and some are absolutely terrible -.- And the backgrounds are really bad on some, like magic wand. And boots of elven skin aren't even boots !?

Why is there some argument that you can't rune control vs tiny lol.

Any argument that you have that Tiny can control better than someone else due to their play, well there are plenty of heroes that can beat that if they outplay that. If we are assuming both have perfect play well QoP and many others should always win then. Storm Spirit can win, anyone with a ranged stun or longer stun or lockdown. Shadow Demon or OD can imprison, this argument is retarded if you're trying to say "You ca'nt beat a perfect tiny in rune control" well then you're an idiot if you're assuming your low-level play can't beat a perfect tiny. Equal skill, plenty heroes can grab the runes over Tiny.

Also, people are saying they hate the icons, you don't hate them you're just not used to them yet. If they were the original icons that you've seen since playing and watching Dota2 you wouldn't complain, everything they have here is an improvement from larger icons and numbers that we can see visually to more detailed graphics.

Ava range is 875. One good ward and QoP can't touch a rune.

And a 1 second stun is going to let you cover a 700 range deficit? Or let you ignore a 20% slow?

Not even considering the fact that Tiny should get crushed in that matchup at level 1 and his bottle should be considerably later than QoP's. Meaning that she will have Boots sooner for contesting future runes.

EDIT: My only response to the new icons--How the hell is that thing armlet?

I'm not saying it's impossible. I'm saying this guy is dumb if he's going to complain about someone not controlling runes vs tiny in his pub, especially if the team is giving up early kills to tiny.

Also, I think you're wrong if you think that if a tiny and QoP are both playing perfectly then the QoP should win runes. At best, QoP can take 50/50.

You're right, that exaggeration was dumb. But, Tiny will always have access to a 50% chance at a rune if he wants it just by leaving early. QoP can't contest that. At best, Tiny leaves once the rune spawns and QoP is fast enough to get to it first and be out of range of combo.

20% slow though? I guess you can get in 400 range if you have enough hp to survive a combo. QoP needs some items for that to happen.

Tiny wont have mana to pull off his combo often early and it's relatively weak early on and she can dagger -> blink away.
And if tiny leaves early just to get 50% of the runes, QOP will only get even further ahead, QOP will just outlevel him largely and outfarm him making him unable to stay in the lane later on.

She only needs to Shadow Strike if Tiny uses Avalanche to slow her down. If he uses Avalanche to slow her down, then she's not at risk of being comboed.

There are a lot of other factors too though. If Tiny leaves while under fog (early or not) and the rune is on an unwarded side then it's at least a little risky for QoP to go for it (or if the ward doesn't provide vision of the ramp down into the river).

Still it's pointless. Clearly Tiny is good at getting runes and clearly blink heroes, especially ones like QoP are able to mitigate his effectiveness a bit and snatch runes if they play well. Someone like Puck can also jaunt in and silence or phase to avoid Tiny's abilities. That's all there really is to say about it.

I feel like the hero portrait is too skinny regarding width and the stats board is just overall too big. The portrait looks like its 4:3 and the stats portion has unused space that could just be shrunk down. Its just my opinion but I think it would be nice if they just widened the portrait back to normal size or remove that grey useless area to the left of it, while reducing the stats in size and making the health/mana bars more proportioned (as in bigger I mean, which is important).

What do you guys think?

Just practice using http://dl.dropbox.com/u/75495922/InvokerTrainer.htm .. People always overestimate how hard it is to learn his skills. The real problem is staying cold and using the proper spells at the right time.

It's giving you an advantage other players don't have, it is in no way fair.

And i think this part of the steam subscriber agreement explains that it really is not okay to use it:

Steam and the Software may include functionality designed to identify software or hardware processes or functionality that may give a player an unfair competitive advantage when playing multiplayer versions of any Software, other Valve products, or modifications thereof ("Cheats"). You agree that you will not create or assist third parties in any way to create Cheats. You agree that you will not directly or indirectly disable, circumvent, or otherwise interfere with the operation of software designed to prevent or report the use of Cheats. You acknowledge and agree that either Valve or any online multiplayer host may refuse to allow you to participate in certain online multiplayer games if you use Cheats in connection with Steam or the Software. Further, you acknowledge and agree that an online multiplayer host may report your use of Cheats to Valve, and Valve may communicate your history of use of Cheats to other online multiplayer hosts for Valve products. Valve may terminate your Account or a particular Subscription for any conduct or activity that Valve believes is illegal, constitutes a Cheat, or which otherwise negatively affects the enjoyment of Steam by other Subscribers. You acknowledge that Valve is not required to provide you notice before terminating your Subscriptions(s) and/or Account, but it may choose to do so.

Realistically if they could make the stats box that much bigger, I think it wouldn't have hurt to include a few more stats like attack speed, range, or magic resistance, rather than just making damage, armor, and movespeed super huge.
