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.

I love support shaker though. Get blink, urn and force staff on him and you can move.

Also, there is a video about the buffs you are looking for. I believe a search for "Dota 2, Pimp Hand" will get you want you are looking for(you may need to put earth shaker in there).

Treads >>>> phase
+400% base damage = +32 dmg from str treads (on top of the 8 from str in the first place) which outperforms phase heavily.

i just like phase because it makes regular last hitting easier and helps stick to targets to beat on them

Treads are fully acceptable.

Pretty much agreed.

Also playing mid would be a nightmare.

A lot of the reason pushes are really strong this patch has to do with the list of "OP" heroes at the moment.

I would like to see offlane get harder again.


that's a good thing

I'm sick of seeing heroes that deserve to lose their lanes not losing their lanes

I hope IceFrog makes dire have an offlane soon - wherever that fucking road south leads isn't a lane, it's a slippery slope straight to hell

I'm only slightly sarcastic here.


I'm interested to see how Lina core would work out. Also Ogre Magi. Fnatic ran Ogre Mid a few times and shenanigans aside, it was pretty badass.

(then at TI4 they picked the most boring, conventional shit and lost accordingly, made me mad)

Lina has low base damage and a shitty animation while still having really low hp and no real escape

she ain't no mid hero unless there's a giant shift

6.82: fiery soul buffed to give +20 attack speed

edit: oh, it already gives +40 attack speed. And +5% movement speed. For 9 seconds. At the first level. With only 1 stack. At 3 stacks, 120 attack speed bonus, +15% movement speed.

..are you sure this isn't viable?

It wasn't too long ago I considered void to be one of the worst laners in the game.

Obviously, I was just fooled on how he SHOULD be balanced vs how is actually balanced.

No, I'm not sure that it's not viable. I play Lina core relatively frequently.

But her attack animation is utter and complete ass. And while she has long range, her projectile speed isn't great which exacerbates the issues with her animation. I'm just not sure she's a viable mid without either totally outskilling your opponent or bottlecrowing. And if you're going to commit to bottle-crowing, what does Lina bring that's special?

Yeah, it's pretty annoying to play still. Completely disagree with the idea to make the offlane hard again. That was actually the most boring dota ever played when you couldn't even go to lane with anything but like 3 heroes.

Honestly if nothing else, I want aggro tris to come back into relevance. Either that or strong dual lanes that can actually kill/contest farm of the safe lane.

Aggro trilanes won't be relevant until offlane is tough again.

Can you explain that? TI3 was the biggest esports tournament in existence at that time and all teams were preparing for it. But.... there was no good dota played there? I really don't get what you mean.

Games where one team is playing pure flowchart DotA, and the other loses to it because of totally misunderstanding how to play/draft the version generally aren't very good.

This unfortunately describes almost every VG game at TI4.

yeah unfortunately TI4 was really filled with some sad to watch games

But there were some excellent games that weren't deathballs

And lets be clear, the flow chart is created after the game is over and everyone says "Well if they did this, they would have won" because hind sight is 20/20. Seeing the flow chart while the game is going on is super hard.

Except the VG games, where people likely should have figured it out earlier since they did the same thing over and over..

Excellent TI3 Series/Games:
LGD v Alliance
LGD v Liquid
Zenith v VP
Na'Vi v TongFu
Na'VI v Orange
DK v Orange
Alliance v Na'vi

Excellent TI4 Series/Games:
EG v DK
LGD v DK
EG v VG
C9 v VG


I think the format of TI4 is really what killed a lot of the hype, there were many fewer games on the main stage than at TI3. There were 9 series on the main stage at TI4 and there were 22 at TI3.
