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. | ||

Someone prolly jokingly was gonna report him, but got me wondering, do dota stars get sent to LP from reports or are they just ignored. Don't care either way, just curious EE-sama has spent many games in LPQ | ||

I have like 400 games played solo in addition to 600 or whatever played in parties of various sizes. I can honestly say that I have never once, not once, left a solo game thinking "fucking 4 stacks man". Sometimes people yell at you, sometimes they are friendly, this happens no matter if they are queuing together or not. Liberal use of the mute button takes care of everything if you dislike being yelled at (I do :p). I still think this business of removing automated matchmaking from a subset of the players in a 2014 game is hilariously retarded. | ||

Skip hunger make jungle much faster as you can farm stack and ancients very early on without tank items. You also dont have mana problem like most of the modern Axe build. Play style is pretty similar to LC pre-nerf and you could pretty much solo kill 90% of the enemy heroes ~11 mins mark. If you are lucky it could even become double triple with the dunk CD(and you have spare mana bc you dont spam hunger). I think you guys should really give it a try I think this is the only way to play jungle Axe after the Tranq Boots nerf. Hunger-based builds are heavily reliant on early ganking, but because you have to choose now between regen and boots rather than being able to get both on one item, you are basically going all-in if you go Hunger+Boots ganking. Spin/Call with no Hunger gives you faster farming and a more powerful Blink Dagger timing, though you have much less influence over the early game. | ||

How about aggressive creepskipping against a weak safelane with one or two supports? Same skill build, but you get faster levels and deny them jungle farming. | ||

Isn't that a pretty big problem though, as if he has no influence over the early game he effectively has no influence on the game at all? I know a lot of people point to the fact that he doesn't have any real late game as a huge issue for the hero. Or with this do you get so far ahead that post blink your ganks just kill the opponents? | ||

Really? lol, time to start the popcorn. I don't care but I can see a lot of people having a problem with this. Unless private profile hides this as well. edit: also it was revealed a while ago that the order is by queue time, and/or party order. For blue and pink it can mean highest MMR quite often though (at the highest mmr's only imo), because 5.5-6k players tend to queue longer. But it's not 100% that they are the highest MMR. | ||
