He's just taken it to PM with me, don't worry. (I'm not saying what the content of the PMs are because that's against TL tos and BM). It's fine to just say that he's PM'd me about it, right? If not I'll edit this out.

edit :
Also Next.kz uses ursa to varying levels of success* and MC cannon rushed Idra on more than one occasion.

*i personally believe their wins with him were because they took their opponents by surprise more than anything else

I added more to that post:
You also can't repick based on what the opponent has picked, like in AP. and this means that the game is somewhat determined by hero choice, before the game has started. Build orders happen after the game has started, and you can react to your opponents build order by changing yours. You cannot react to your opponents hero choice by changing your hero.

The fact that CM is even needed shows how imbalanced some of the heroes intrinsically are, it's not an argument for DotA being a paragon of perfect balance.

You can't repick your heroes, just like you can't unmake buildings and units that you've already made. But you CAN alter how you ban/pick the remaining heroes in the draft, and you can alter your item choices once you're in the game.

You can't entirely change your build order after you scout something. You can only alter the portions that you have not yet completed. Likewise you can alter your draft based on what your opponent picks, but only the picks that occur after theirs.

The analogy is ridiculous. Build orders generally do not matter beyond the first several minutes unless you're planning to 6 pool or something like that, because it's possible to change build orders. 15 minutes into the game, the buildings you've built but cannot unbuild are essentially irrelevant. The same is not true in DotA, what you can do depends on what heroes you've picked, and what heroes your opponents have picked. This is unchangeable. In SC2, you can go siege tanks with whatever build order you choose, in DotA, the same doesn't apply. If heroes are build orders, then build orders don't matter that much in a mid-game and beyond of SC2, while they matter a lot in DotA 2 from beginning to end. As a result the choices you made at the start about heroes, which isn't really part of the game is a much larger determining factor to the outcome of the game, than the buildings you've made in SC2 before you've scouted the opponent.



Lol.


If you expended a bunch of gas into tech and upgrades and all of a sudden he mid game timing pushes you are fucked. Honestly, you have demonstrated the following in this thread

1) You are stubborn
2) You are bad at DotA 2; it is clearly evident. Only bad players complain about Ursa.
3) You have 0 clue how to run a simple statistical analysis.
4) You have no idea about Starcraft 2 also.


Either one, you're actually that dumb, or two, you're just a huge fucking troll. All there is to it.

No need to repeat the past 10 pages and also be insulting while at it...

SO how about that neo-Quantic team, eh? Looking good, maybe even a lock-for-the-international good atm, amirite? I'm also hoping for virtus to go on a winning streak and make it to the event. So excited already!

ugh, i just played a game with Riki.

i dont like the new silence effect after he blinks.

but i suppose its needed for balance since hes so strong. T_T


i can't find the patch notes, riki has been nerfed?


I didnt see it a Riki change in patch notes either. But it seems right after you Blink Strike he gets a .5 sec silence. I find this pretty annoying since I usually like to Blink > Smoke. But now I guess I have to get used to Smoke > Blink from now on.

I think it's because he's meant to attack straight after blinking and unlike in DotA it gave you a space to cast smoke where you shouldn't normally be able to cast spells, but i haven't tested it to check.

That account was created on 2010-07-12 23:20:50 and had 1197 posts.

Reason: Stop trolling. It is neither amusing nor witty.

Played against Korok and Solara, fun times, they definitely are super fucking good. I watch Mikeys stream whenever it is up as well. I have become mega fans of theirs. I am hoping them and coL get invites to TI2. I think right now they really rely on "Let Solara, PIG, Mikey, and LastHitMagic set up the early->midgame so then Korok can just beastmode it up and win." Similar to how Darer.G is highly integral to Darers success. But watching them play more and more, I think they have more than just that trick up their sleeve. They pull out some interesting strategies and so far they are on a winning rampage. I think they can keep it up, they definitely have the talent.

Probably, but it's far from guaranteed. There's a lot of good European teams besides them, and it depends a lot on how many Asian teams are invited.
