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.

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

The upside to Blink is that it gives you larger effective range on being able to save people with Disruption. This is most advantageous when the enemy lineup has heroes that makes it dangerous for you to engage at the 1000-1200 range where you can reliably Force->Disruption to save people and there are threats that can disable/take you out of the fight if you try to stay at that range to save someone. Centaur and Axe are examples of common heroes that can still be dangerous to you at that range.

Blink extends your effective range to 1500+, which means that things that would threaten you 500 range closer have a hard time dealing with how far back you can reliably save people from. The downside is that you lose the secondary utility of having the second rescue ability, but in the kinds of games where you'd need Blink, it's hard for you to stay in close enough range to reliably use that function anyway.

But I like the mishmash of topics that is GD. Do we need to split off into liquidGD.com? Or have a Yango's Corner subsection? :D

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

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


Sadly didn't work

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

brood is one of those heroes that always ends up getting picked by pubs on my team for some reason.

So how do hat drops work for TI4? Do you get chance for hats only if you have compendium? what about if you have team pennant of team that's playing but no compendium?
You mean I just write stuff here and other people can see it?
