What makes is special is us not knowing. Once we know it, the awesomeness of it goes away. Obviously icefrog IS the stig!!! | ||

Can neither confirm nor deny such a claim. Incidentally, have you ever seen Stig and Icefrog in the same room? I think not! | ||

I dunno what I'm doing wrong. Might want to give some game id's or explain what it is you do as a jungler since one cannot really help you with the information given. There are other variables that take into account your jungling; for example, are the best heroes being used as solo (since most likely had one solo mid, and one solo Bottom (radiant) or top (Dire). Do you stack creeps? Which groups of creeps do you go for first, etc. | ||

Don't always need a solo hardlane. Some heroes can solo safelane if you come to gank on a regular basis. | ||

And team are pretty desperate with the lack of good initiator from mid to late game since most of them hold important teamfight control spell. This could alone push SD onto top ban list once again. Enchan will shine in some quad lane strat.... not sure if teams would pick undying to counter quad lane though :-/ | ||

I really think pugna gona shine quite a bit in TI2... there are so many formation that pugna ward alone would be the pain in the ass.

Enchan will shine in some quad lane strat.... not sure if teams would pick undying to counter quad lane though :-/ Pugna was very commonly used by DK and iG as a second position core in a lot of lineups centered with power-push with lycan or sylla in 2011 and early '12, however he feels like he just doesn't work nearly as well in DotA 2 because of overall smoother animations on most heroes and his own kind of "strange" animations not translating particularly well. That said, pugna's main use is as part of a push lineup that stops the enemy team from engaging as it rapes creepwaves and towers, when used heroes like leshrac or DP, you can get a lot of interesting "cheesy" lineups as well. , SD actually calls off a bit late game imo and its a hero that's been more or less utilized to its full potential, I feel like Disruptor is something that might shine much more as an ideal support in the current meta | ||

Tinker doesn't seem as strong as he used to be though. Storm and good game sense can prevent him from getting to the point of late game ridiculousness. | ||
