Last two rare drops have been ES's stoneshard totem. It's a sweet item. That's why I bought and inscribed it months ago. Now I have three. Volvo pls.

Also, running support Silencer is just a joy now.

Korean music is so legit though. There are more bands than SNSD and SHINee.

wanna fight? Kpop is the fucking best.

I like all music though. Was even a classical guitarist for many years, lol

And the worst. It is so powerful it can be both at once. But I do enjoy their trashy girl bands/dancetroops.

Agreed. Works great as a hard carry, and in mid. Very versatile.

why edit? I was curious what happened as well. I certainly don't think hvost is a hacker, his performance on LAN is generally better than online. That was odd though.

I'd like to watch the video again but I can't find it after you edited lol. Oh well. :D


edit; I've actually never read of a working dota 2 map hack. I've heard of cooldown and item hacks though that circumvent the notifications only your team is supposed to receive.


I deleted the video, didn't think it was worth possibly causing drama over something that was likely nothing (+with my name attributed).
If you're truly interested you can PM me and I can send you the match/timestamp etc.

So I was playing a game in the trench tier as usual. I'm playing WK and I tell my supports to go gank the mid sf, and they either just refuse to do so or decide it's better to join the brawl at top lane. Meanwhile SF is farming vs dusa(it was random draft and there weren't any other mid heroes, seriously it was shit like AM and brewmaster in the pool).

So, I'm having a tough time deciding whether to continue to farm or to go gank mid myself. I decided to farm armlet but buy that time the fights have gotten so frequent that I'm forced to fight, as well as the enemy SF. Obviously, he was fat and crushed us over and over.

What should I have done in that situation? Should I have ganked mid since the supports didn't want to do that, or should I have farmed only an armlet and then gank? It was hard to tell in that situation.

Also, how legit is Shadowblade on PA? A couple of people have been advocating things like drums, sny, helm first, etc in order to make her more of a midgame carry than a late game one. Should SB be considered as one of those items? I was thinking she could really pop a squishy support with it, plus it gives her damage and attack speed, 2 things she really wants.

You should have farmed a Blink and ganked.

I'm not really sure other than that since I'd have to see the game. Brewmaster is probably also a better mid than Dusa, although I'm not sure vs. SF

Lothar's can fit certain games, but the two main things are that typically PA doesn't have trouble engaging fights, and usually PA wants a more damage-focused first item due to her high Agi growth and large attack speed boost from Blink Strike. Most of her first few damage items are typically damage-heavy rather than attack speed-heavy.

I have been playing WR support and transition into semi-carry mid-late game depending on how the game is going for us or permits me to buy items that help me fight as a carry after force staff for like 3-4 days now. The hero is fucking fun and difficult. I could already land a shackle shot normally but man 2 hero shackle shots is hard.

The problems i encounter is that if i don't land my shackle shot i am rarely very useful in fights aside from added dps with power shot and force staffing allies/enemies .. Landing shackles in trees is easier part the harder part is when we fight in the middle of the map or rosh pit where there are no trees.. Any WR enthusiast here .. Any tips ? Damn the hero is difficult. Learning puck was easier.

There is also a part in the game where i still don't have aghs where i don't deal shit ton of damage. I feel so useless in my team whenever i don't land shackleshots.

Agh's is really not the best way to transition into damage, honestly. Most of the other DPS item options have a more specific impact on the game (e.g. Orchid solo-kill potential, Mjollnir farming power and the Mjollnir active for your frontliners, MKB vs. Evasion, etc.) when you get them, while Agh's, even after the buff, is pretty middle-of-the road as far as damage options go.

so i was building WR the wrong way ? haha

i have been buying aghs after force staff .. the stats + hp + mana is nice and the low cd ult is pretty nice

so i should build orchid/mjolnir first before going aghs ? i see .. but if we already have 2-3 damage dealers in the team .. like a tri-core lineup .. can i go aghs first ? i really like the low cd ult haha
