EPTOr you could just increase the mana cost / lower int gain for those heroes. Which buffs OD.
Awkward.

I think that would make Tinker fair. And Razor shouldn't be allowed to have 2 ults running at the same time like DP. I think that would make him balanced, in many games people don't even go for agha refresher and it's still a fine hero. A little numbers nerf to DP and Skymage, maybe just a bit longer CD on one of their spells. That would be enough nerfs for me, rest could be buffs. :D I would like if they rework bottle so it only refills 1 charge every 5 seconds in the fountain, so you have to sit 15 seconds in fountain to get the bottle refilled. Would make bottle crowing less bullshit and would fix the bottle refill after tp.

If that is what you want to know i would guess it is too risky, if you can't end by 15-20 minutes you will probably lose as 3 cores wasting 2.5k gold each is a big deal. | ||

Rather than nerfing mek, I would rather they make more ways to break static link for razor. Providing more ways to deal with him stealing damage makes for better gameplay, IMO.

Patrick Klepek of Giant Bomb is a journalist, with like sources and writing stories about the industry. TB and Flax are just entertainers who's opinion some people rely on for purchase decisions. Not really a crack at you, but people throw around the term "journalist" super broadly in the gaming world. People call Geoff Keighley a journalist, even those he has never claimed to be one, or done anything that even vaguely resembles being a journalist. | ||

There was a quite a big scandal with xbone and Machinima a while back and apparently all youtubers are now legally obliged to clearly state that the video is paid for. And it's not even enough to put it in the description, it has to be right on the video. What I don't get is why TB is doing this... I mean, his channel and Polaris has to be making a fuckton of money for him. By doing paid videos he's just discrediting himself as a critic, at least in my eyes. Pflax I guess needs the money, but it still rubs me the wrong way that he's accepting money to promote a competitor's product after being so deep in DotA, even being invited and paid by Valve to TI4. | ||

But most of S2s audience got increasingly disappointed with them after how they handled HoN. Going to be interesting to see how they do. I don't really care about the paid promotion though, as long as it's stated that it's a paid promotion. Gaming "journalism" is rotten nowadays. | ||

TB isn't really doing it for the money, he routinely plays different games and has shown interest in strife before. He had a reasonably good time playing a game with a buddy and got paid a bit for it, seems like a good deal for everybody. | ||

Hes not a critic, he is an entertainer who's opinion some people use to make purchase decisions. And there is nothing with giving a new game a chance. What if Flax finds a cool feature and tells Valve "Yo, guys this feature is excellent and you should look at this"? | ||

I guess what I meant is that gaming coverage is super incestuous these days, so I guess I found this interesting. | ||

The fact that they get paid to try out a game is like bonus. | ||

Agreed, the main problem with link is there is literally no way to stop it except to walk away from it, with a couple of exception. With Razors natural move speed and it working even while he is stunned, its just free damage for him with no ability to deal with it. Mind you, I have no idea what should break the link, but maybe if he is stunned for a set period of time or a damage threshold. | ||

And he is a critic, his videos are poorly researched reviews under the mask "first impressions", because that takes less effort. And they're not "trying out" a new game. They're making advertisement for it. I know nobody can stop them from doing it, they have every right to do it, etc. | ||
