Force is good, you're the guy saving everyone from a pickle anyway. Might as well add pushing them into your arsenal.

All looks pretty but I do think there is alot of shiney stuff at the right side of a short post i.e. 1 sentence. maybe make all logos 100% grey?

It's not too bad. I'll just have to remember to sub to threads n stuff. WOuld make my life a bit easier for sure.

Dude, if you post in a thread it automatically subs for you.

Have to turn it off once you start answering mod reports though because every mod report would get auto subbed

? Simply closing a mod report doesn't subscribe to it, only posting random messages in them does.

Could have sworn it did at least when I was first a banling which is why I turned it off. Maybe it got chanced or I'm just remembering wrong from posting other stuff in them

The perfect hero icon no joke
E: its ogre btw

Re: Force vs Blink: Blink is the aggressive option for when ur farmed. Force is the defensive option for when ur behind or just need to play passive.

Well, force is also good if you think you'll be able to save allies with it when they get stunned or netted or something.

thats the thing tho,force can be used aggresive as well,Sds spells all have pretty good range so I don't really need to blink right on top of someone to initiate most of the times.
I'm a huge proponent of building blink on everything nowadays but I think it's a little bit redundant on sd,was not in many situations where blink did something a force staff couldn't
also force staff gives you extra mana n shit which is nice

I guess the biggest upside to blink dagger apart from initiation is that you get around the map quicker,but meh idk
u gotta farm

That's weird. I'm having no issues. Have you tried verifying game cache?

Properties -> Local files -> Verify integrity of game cache.

I'm pretty sure Brood counts as a hero no one ever picks.

The issue with hero flairs is that I'm proficient with and enjoy handling about 50 heroes and I really don't have a "go-to" hero. Although rubick is just the most fun support lol.

Like viper's fine and all but there isn't anything special about him for example.

PS as a poster above mentioned, RTZ played viper on stream and said "This hero is everything that is wrong with dota" lol.

I think viper is fun to play
Win lane, win game.
From the Ghastly Eyrie I can see to the ends of the world, and from this vantage point I declare with utter certainty that this one is in the bag!
