All the teams who pick him seem to always lose. no hes an amazing hero, but the teams that are picking him arent playing on his strengths, disruption should be used as a setup spell or as an obvious defensive spell ( against say a roar) but the teams are picking him as a generic, oh hes still in the pool i guess. | ||

You know orchid comes in more than one piece right? its really common for a brood to not buy anything after soul ring boots and just sit on his money, both silence and bkb are good first items, sometimes its good to see how the game is going before deciding. A oblivion staff or ogre axe arent as powerful as the ability to decide your item choice 5-6 minutes later. | ||

I get even more tired of seeing Am. They're so dominating though. Even with the stale AM, LGD just does so amazingly that the game get's exciting. | ||

He didn't buy anything because they were 3 man pushing the T2 far and the chance of dying is very low. Once he was alone he spent the money on an orchid and started getting ganged. So you're talking out of your ass. it's another question why he kept feeding like that...  | ||

Even in the beginning, the lanes felt weird. Like, I understood why they were doing it, but it just did not seem very strong (as if LGD was at the advantage from the get-go). Al kept getting kills on veno which does not really do a whole lot (since it is veno... who always dies). Yao has done such a good job, and Rubrick getting the hook was hilarious. | ||

Except you're sitting there with a naked soul ring, no survivability and hoping they don't have dust, even though they have track from bounty hunter. He died 6 times in a row because of it, and he's lucky he didn't die 10 times in a row if they had caught on the fact he had 700 hp, no boots, no poor man's shield sitting past the tier 2 tower. Please explain to me the myriad of item choices he was going to go for in that situation that wouldn't be related to the early game? A manta style or orchid or something earlier. In this particular game a good player would've figured it out by then. | ||

Pudge has been getting picked more than I expected. Sad though the match was so one sided. LGD just destroyed them. | ||

Not only is there a big difference between killing ancients and an easy camp (both 1 cs) but cs doesn't take into account towers (and kills/assists/deaths/everything else) which can be a huge part of someones farm. I don't understand why most of the time commentators harp on about c and show it as a stat and it's up on the live scoreboard as well when I'd get 2x more info if they just showed gpm. it is an outdated stat, but its the stat the scene had been forced to use for an incredibly long time. there was no gpm in dota 1, and people understood what the cs translated to, and back in dota 1 cs did not include neutrals in the normal number, so your cs was your exact creep count, i agree though, gpm should be used in the future | ||
