i don't know if it was because i was so tired or the teams were tired but today's games really dropped off at the end of the day

This whole fountain hooking thing is quite funny, I don't think it should be fixed because there's slightly more that went into that game than just the hooks winning it, that and the planets aligned for every comeback avenue possible to be taken by Na'vi successfully. The Gyro Aegis was the big one but I put that back on Hao for trying to steamroll through the enemy jungle blindly while they've seen what can happen.
That wasn't a move that turned a won game into a lost one though

But aren't these bugs the things that make games what they are? There were bugged things in BW that became staples of the game.

Also the fact its the biggest crowd pleaser you'll ever see

The only thing I'm disappointed about it, is for the next few days every pub I play will be filled with some silly 2 stack thinking they're dendi and puppey missing every fountain hook they ever throw.

I heard that Loda told a chinese interviewer about dendi fountain hooks ”This is the most imbalanced thing I ever seen in dota2. It's fucking stupid. It's fucking ridiculous.“

Sounds to me like he already fears to travel for free with the dendi express. Incoming respect ban in the WB finals.

i wouldn't say they were the clearly better team, they looked evenly matched throughout the series. i would love to see a rematch between them

I feel so sorry for TongFu, they clearly were the better team over NaVi, and on top of that I lost 70 euros betting on TongFu only to get robbed by fucking fountain hooking bastards. Consider me mad.

Loda is very quick to call things the most imbalanced thing in the world. Like when he called PL the most imbalanced thing in the world and PL proceeded to fade into a situational pick.

Why aren't these haters crying when fountain hook was used before? EG had one game where they really tried to make that work, and it resulted in their own demise.

Really what the haters are highlighting with all their whinging, is how innovative Navi has been, discovering this high risk, high skill, exciting (source: the crowd at TI3) new combo that people have always known about, but didn't know how to get right. Also remember, Tongfu, for the longest time, had 3 heroes in the top 4 most farmed heroes list. Even if they fought 4v4, even if one of their carries got hooked back (they have 2 cores remember, doom was leading the farm early on), they still have a great chance if they just kept calm and pressed their massive advantage.

If a bug is really easily abusable and unfair, it would not be left in the game for this long (2 years). If a bug is really abusable situationally, then kudos to the first guy to discover this innovative new strat.
