Ok, so I've been playing some CK last night because I am deep into STR heroes of late. I forgot that he has one of the most satisfying attack animations in the game. The noise on impact is so good. Him and brewmaster might have the best attack animations in the game(ascetically, not for farming). I kinda want to meet the guy at valve whos job it is to design these attack animations.


Despite CK having one of the worst damage ranges in the game to last hit with I actually find him incredibly easy to LH with. It might be the psychological effect of the attack animation and sound.

Then again I'm weird with my last hitting ability. I find it fairly easy to last hit with Lina and then totally screw up with heroes who have much better attack animations. And I'm virtually unable to LH at all with Sniper despite the fact he has an almost instant attack.


CK is one of my favourite heroes ever anyway. Stun/Rift into a big group of illusions never gets old and people seriously start to panic when it happens. And its pretty scary when you have this huge wave of CKs charging down a lane with a creepwave.

My 70% winrate with the hero may also have something to do with my love affair here. >_>

We were against slark in the game and he was being a huge bitch to our supports. It was great when his ult wore off and I could just trap him in a circle of illusions and rekt him. I just wish CKs mana pool wasn't such trash that I needed to get drums every game. But such is life.

On Fear's position in the team:

PPD: "2, I think the hero pools of all of our players will continue to expand. He will still play the 2/3 or maybe even the 1 if I can convince Artour to play Intelligence heroes again."

Some of these responses are really good.

Which newly shuffled team do you believe has the most potential? (tinker, alliance, fnatic, ..)
"Most potential would probably be Secret team but i'm not sure they have the motivation." - PPD


I really hope this team secret(s4+friends) will provide good results .. I mean it's almost every pro interview they hype team secret.

More on Fear:

PPD: "Many of the older players are often labeled as experienced but Fear is something else. The type of experience that he exudes is very unique. He knows how to win and he knows how to lose. He accepts critique and gives it as well. He is always trying to learn and teach at the same time. Having him back and healthy is very exciting."

On what he would be doing if he wasn't playing doto:

PPD: "probably looking for an awful job with an almost useless degree"

We already beat Secret Team in scrims. I actually think they suck but apparently they own everyone else. They do decently well with everyone else. Obviously they're not as good as people say they are just based on the star power. You'd think they would dominate everyone but none of them are used to their roles. Everyone switched roles except Puppey, like even Kuroky is half support half carry. They don't really understand their roles and I don't know how much time they'll need to adjust to that. Hopefully for them they don't lose too much. If you lose too much, even though you need time to adjust, you can't because you're already too negative.

Omni - slardar is a combo we used in our petty scrims which have mixed results. It makes slardar even much more beast than he already is and way much sooner.

I can't wait for Universe to have a bad series so I can go back to properly appreciating him without all these johnny-come-latelies crowding up the wagon.

Question: PPD, what do you think the rest of the NA scene needs to do to elevate itself to the same level as EU/China?

PPD: make teams

Confirm: NA needs to try before it will succeed.

Is there anything that Mason has that fear doesnt? i mean any cons of the switch? Also, carry treant protector?

"Best storm spirit in the game. no carry treant"- PPD


Wao .. So i wasn't wrong on thinking that mason was a really good storm player from his games . Unless PPD wasn't serious.

I am sure that has to be one of the main problems getting new players. You see this kid is amazing in pubs and then find out he is a manchild with no team work skills and doesn't understand that you are 1 of 5.
