Posts that relate to topics with their own thread, such as in News, Tournaments or Strategy should go in those threads.

Good to know how Valve feels about some of the players

Assuming he said 'queue into' and 'oh fucking well' I'm assuming he's against them.

Queue into can mean either way though and sometimes people are upset getting onto a pro stack cause the game will be easier, lol

But you're probably right!

When you say "queued into", do you mean on their team? or against? I got onto his team once and I think he's the nicest pro to encounter in pubs. Super helpful and patient. He turned 3 lost lanes into a winning game through voice coaching, lol.

Queue into = is facing them. Otherwise I just say got on the same team. Sorry for confusion.

I just got carried so hard by this Meepo. We lost every lane so fucking hard, and he was like YOLO and killed everyone by himself.

Always feels like the same category as Brood to me - if someone picks Meepo and nobody does anything to him for the first couple minutes of the game, he can come out being a terrifying force of 1v1s and small skirmishes, and generally be really annoying.

...but shut him down early or teamfight with a teamfight lineup? Your Meepo meecro can be fantastic, but it doesn't matter if they can make one meepo go poof after they poof in.

Brood's definitely a worse hero, though.

i think given proper 4+1 protection / space creation, meepo can roll over teamfight comps after like 4-5 slots, whereas you have no hope of doing that with brood

and if you run him that way he still has pickoff potential since each meepo can work with 1 teammate to gank pretty much anybody

but yea i feel like theres theroetical meepo hunting comps that make life hell for him from minute 0 and game unwinnable

So I've played with and versus 15 tinkers. They have lost 13 times. That hero is bad for pubs, don't know why people keep picking it. Mid heroes that needs 25min to come online doesn't work in pubs. Feels like russian roulette if your team is going to win or lose..

I don't think there's anything wrong with Tinker in pubs as long as you're not playing the "farm every lane all the time and completely starve the rest of your team" strat

i mean 'things'

for instance your team is pushing, you can tp and spam march, cast rockets once, thats a decent amount of damage

likewise if theyre pushing into a tower of yours, or if you see someone getting ganked you can tp and laser the ganker

sure you can be useful without blink
