Although, if we're talking about funny statistics... I'm undefeated on Dazzle, and have absolutely no idea how to play the hero. Six games where I futzed around with heals and my team carried me to victory. It's pretty amusing.

i was 17-1 with beastmaster at some point. after that i lost every single game i picked this guy -.-

Nope, no full match with Fear. But as long as he has slightly more than zero impact on the game, it will be a marked improvement.

I'm pretty sure that mason was actually alright for EG, despite the reddit hatred for him.

I am just grumpy from TI4 and being unable to remember a single play he made. I don't think he is bad, just didn't make a huge impact on the games like the other players.

But then again, I am just grumpy because they got 3rd and this is the thing I have decided to be grumpy about.

Edit: Also, he is kind of a clown at times, and not in the funny, endearing sense.

That's fair enough, but even if he wasn't making massive plays every game he was fairly consistent in his play, and he was definitely good enough to get them into the finals had there not been some questionable drafting by ppd.

In my opinion, I think that PPD was forced into some of those drafting decisions because of his team’s limited hero pools and what they felt they could make work. The first thing he said in an interview after the event boiled down to “Fuck scrims, get a broad hero pool so we can adapt to the meta of the event”. It might be a little of both, but I am sure that all captains are limited by what their teammates can play.

Also, Mason was consistent, but he never got focused down like Arteezy. I don’t think other teams were worried about him, so they never made is a priority to take him down. And he never seemed to be able to pull out ahead when arteezy was getting rofl-ganked by two roaming supports all game.

I thought EG was less limited by narrow hero pools at TI than at some other events. It seemed more that the only counter to the 5-man facepunch style is a better 5-man facepunch. And NewBee and Vici were the two best teams at that particular thing.

Yeah, I sort of read that as “we could have stopped that better if people had been more comfortable playing the other heroes”. But everyone can get pretty myopic when under pressure, so who knows what happened in the booth.

At the end of the day, EG did very well and it just sucks their last game in the event was such a stomp. But stomps happen.

He's not really any worse than many of the children in NADota, but he was by far the most successful.

All further hate of Mason is now justified through this single act. Never forgive. Never forget.

Mason combines the impulse control of Ted Bundy with the typing skills of ixmike88.

so there's basically nothing wrong with him other than making bank
if you're going to hate him for flaming, you might as well add everyone in the region along with fear and bulba or smth

i think the only significant nadota member that i haven't really seen flame/shit talk anyone is tc

I don’t know, it takes a special someone who openly be racist, mock the mentally handicapped and threaten physical harm all in a single game. He literally threatens to shoot them with a gun. I am sure everyone in NAdoto has be bad at some point, but the quality of “Horrible” Mason archived there is next level shit.

Pro tip for life: don’t threaten people with physical violence on the internet. Its not cute and funny anymore.
