Even at my level that is laughable. Thanks for sharing. rofl, dude you do realise that this was a demonstration video in practice with bots not a real game. I'm a 5-5.1k mmr solo player , i end up on first page every 4-5 games, sometimes 2 games in a row and ofc you use smoke but i still do not use boots untill i kill roshan. And ofc i skill ulti on 6 in these serious games. | ||

I focused on implying people to buy stout shield, because any lycan jungling strategies without stout shield are sub optimal. Hero is forced to tank and you cannot even kill a single hard camp without it taking 3/4 of your hp or more depending on spawn On January 17 2014 23:54 ChunderBoy wrote: well im 6k and im gonna tell u going to the jungle with lycan is a sure way to lose in better games. if you were 6k maybe i'd care about what you said. | ||

good for you, implying you know more about the game than i do because you have 6k. Pretty much only way to get that rating was to 5 stack before ranked introduced or mass picking earth spirit, or we can name it abusing the system, because that's what it is. You don't play the hero to know it's potential, it's like me saying distuptor doesn't work in 5-6k bracket when i never play him. | ||

Everything else aside I can vouch that he indeed is 6k solo rated, and isn't an Earth Spirit picker. | ||

Given these extensive credentials, I would like to assert that my particular opinion on how to play a videogame is the only one that should be accepted by all players. Likewise, those who disagree with me are 'lucker noobs'. | ||

 aye it's impossible to convince people my build is better as you will get:a) you got lucky spawns b) your mmr isn't high enough c) someone who doesn't play the hero telling me Lycan doesn't work in 5k+ d)trolls that don't even care about the thread but the arguments about mmr etc. i didn't come here to tell i have 5k mmr, i came here to tell you how to be a really good lycan player, not the one that builds vlads and medallion for 12 mins and then goes roshan with huge risk of getting ganked because at 12 mins it's bloody obvious you can do it at that point, but one that takes roshan in 8 mins and start pushing every lane with his level advantage that early. | ||

You don't have some magic technique only you know about, you just changed the order in which you get things from mine in a game vs bots and then concluded that because the bots didn't take advantage of that it was better. Make youtube videos of it working under realistic conditions or none at all. | ||

It could well be that microsoft can play a better lycanhero. If he thinks he can and wants to contribute, he should make his own guide to playing lycantrope with competitive examples. It has no meaning to highjack this thread in a offensive manner (or thats how i read his posts). | ||

I don't know how it was even possible, my teamates died a lot but still i feel i should have been able to bring it back , now 0-3 with lycan in ranked . I went necro because they were 5 manning around, i thought i would need to split push but that was not enough my teamates kept dying to their 5 man. | ||

The lycanbuild worked, i had nice games and felt good about my performance after (many have stated the same). Good job well done Kwark. Kwark rocks! and deserves credit for having the balls the post it and stick his neck out. Alot of mediocre players will benefit (or eventually becaause they start to think about dotamicro and efficiency and stuff like that). It could well be that microsoft can play a better lycanhero. If he thinks he can and wants to contribute, he should make his own guide to playing lycantrope with competitive examples. It has no meaning to highjack this thread in a offensive manner (or thats how i read his posts). And then when the one of the higher pubstars who posts on TL on occasion comes into thread microsoft decide to bash on him too. lol I found that most humorous of all! This guide also made me play lycan a bunch and Ive enjoyed it immensely, but I think the argument about jungle routes and starting builds is kind of silly because 75% of games you have to back to fountain and such because of harassment in jungle anyways... So idealized runs vs bots are kind of meh. | ||
