The funny thing is when I play with a real stack we get better players but they're usually really chill (all except nova's group usually). It's when I play with medium ranked friends that you get people who are concerned about their win rate.

Count yourself lucky, 7 of my last 10 games have been tryhards tri-laning/smoke spamming/roaming while their am/drow/void rices until Manta etc. Effective but disgustingly boring.

For all the people that have gotten beta key from doing that survey thing from steam, about how long did it take for you to get it? Just out of curiosity? I'm getting so agitated... I wanna play >.<

It's directly based on how many steam games do you have. That's why so many noobs got so many keys so early.

People is diying.

Please dont spout bullshit and show off your ignorance. I got my invite with zero games in my steam library. There is absolutely no correlation.

Completely off-topic but how did you manage to pull off having zero steam games? Steam sales keep doing a number to me ^_^ (Assuming you dont have another account)

Maybe he doesn't have a budget to play lots of games, some people just play 1-2 games for several years.. i think I played halo 2 for 4 years without touching another game cause I was poor and all my friends played halo 2 so why get something else :D.

But yes, steam sales, indie bundles, and other games.. man those libraries fill up fast. Especially the 4x of a game sales, I get one for my brother, gf, myself, and my friend if the deal is good enough.

Or maybe he has $ and just is much better at not spending it than I am :D

Mostly right, i just never really got into steam games. I do not have more than one steam account. When i play games its purely sc2 and hon, and now dota2. I havent ever been bothered by steam for not having purchased any of their products so im not sure how come you get those messages, ive never seen one before. However i did have to jump through some hoops to add people to my steam buddy list because my account was limited or something like that as a result of not having any games bought. But everything has worked out fine in the end.

No problem with queues, EU is usually quite fast and during slower times I also open USEast, the delay is most of the time so small that it doesn't really affect my play.

I dunno if its my mmr, but people usually pick good teams here, common picks are sk tide, cm, lich etc, they buy couriers, ward, trilane on both sides. it makes the game alot more intense and fun to me. Que is basically instant to a minute at best.

Either way I had a question, when do people go phase boots on Mirana/spectre? I have seen it sometimes, I suppose I can understand it when its on sniper but treads seem to be so strong with 10 str and 30% IAS. When is it usefull to go phase instead of treads on common heroes?

I go treads on potm if I'm either - playing potshot wars in mid, or they have naturally fast heroes with lowish hp, or I feel like it.

Potm gets solid ms from leap, and bonus from phase makes her faster than most heroes - stuff like razor has a habit of getting away if you fluff one of your spells.

Spec I don't really understand, treads give better dps under basically every circumstance, you already have phase, and you want hp.
For every battle honour a thousand heroes die alone, unsung, and unremembered.

With Spec, I believe the line of thinking is Treads for fighting, Phases for farming.

Why would you ever get phase on spec when you can unit walk with dagger. Attribute swapping and attack speed way better.
