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.

Clearly it holds both your worth as a human and your future prospects in life. Low MMR will lead to poor life choices and low self worth. High MMR is the keep to happiness and successful relationships.

Ok, I lied, having successful relationships and grinding out MMR are directly opposed to each other.

Kind of a random comment, but does anyone else think Rubick's fire when he uses Firefly should be green or something?

Didn't open this thread in a few days. Over 2 thousand new posts. This thing honestly moves faster than my twitter feed.

Yeah, but unless I'm stupid the actual fire is the same. Having two sets of fire where you don't know which one is safe is kind of annoying.

Not a huge deal or anything, just something I'd like changed eventually.

Maybe. It shouldn't be difficult to program, and it would be a cool distinction to have available in a chaotic teamfight (let's play: whose fire am I standing in!).

I still endorse slightly green tinges on all of his abilities, green lantern style. Slightly green fire from Dragon Slave, greenish ice from Ice nova. Its very rubick.

I can understand if Valve don't want to distinguish Rubick's spells from enemy spells (even if it's just for allies) for balance reasons

If valve does add that, the green effects should only be visible to teammates/spectators. having it visible to enemies would be a fairly big nerf to rubick

Yeah, that kind of thing sounds cool, but maybe a bit of a pain in the ass. Not as in a massive amount of work, but who wants to be the guy who sits down and goes through every ability, shifting the RGB values? That's probably why it hasn't been done yet.

I didn't even think of the balance issues, which are real. Mostly I just thought it would look awesome for spectators because they could tell it was a stolen spell. My non-dota friends already love the idea of rubick, so anything that makes him stand out more can't hurt his "big plays" potential.

Oh yes, it would be a MASSIVE amount of work for very little pay off. Maybe an Arcana that they could charge money for, but that is about it.

List a set of spells where it gives a decisive advantage to Rubick's enemies to have a color distinction but not to Rubick's allies.

Oh wait, there aren't any. All this does is remove the onus on both teams to pay attention, which is a good or bad thing depending on what you think of it. Personally, I doubt it affects gameplay in any realistic manner.

Fuck yeah. Macropyre, warlock golem, midnight pulse, march of the machines... all spells I've stolen and cast in games, then had my teammates run away from or avoid because they assumed they belonged to the enemy. I don't really know how you'd fix that, though. At least in the case of warlock golems if the enemy hero has a skin for their units, your golem will be the one without a skin.

That shit is ground breaking. There is part of me that doesn't want it patched out. The part that hasn't play against it yet.
