Lol this commentary is Tobi trying to analyze and Merlini basically disagreeing with everything he says.

Both meanings are established. Quit whining about someone using it one way when you want to use it the other way.

Except neither meaning actually applies to this game so calling this game a throw is inaccurate regardless. One bad bat play isn't intentionally losing.

He's huge considering that post Radiance he's finished a Manta and a Skadi in 10 minutes.

yeah so who the hell does necro use ult on in these fights? you want to stop the BH, want to put super long death timer on DP, and want to take away Natural Order ASAP so your terrorblade doesn't die to the DP.
refresher time?

given the situation Loda was in I don't think Radiance was neccesarily a bad choice, you comit to a certain playstyle though.

Before I played Dota 2 I always associated throwing with purposefully losing something, then in Dota 2 throwing is used for everything

But people on the internet, and especially gamers, like exaggeration and hyperbole (which they like to call "irony" if they're called on it).

It's good if you don't have space. You can farm faster this way and push out lanes for space.

Late late game, who wins, Naga or TB?

I'd say Naga, but haven't really played/seen it before.

Well it's a support naga vs a core tb so that's kinda irrelevant unless ppd somehow gets mega farmed.

we've seen that before
although that would require the game to last longer than 30 minutes


If this was C9, I'd maybe agree, but ppd's farm priority on EG is always so goddamn low that naga becoming decently farmed would take like 70+ minutes.

On the EG side everyone except Universe is animated, stretching, talking, and he's just in the far side stiff and focused.

DP #1 target
Titan #2 target

Rest of them are not prime targets imo. BH is canceled anyway because akke will probably never be out of position.
