What is it with team captains drafting the pirate captain for themselves lately?


Doesn't need much farm on a support Kunkka, X marks the cheese is amazing spell, boat is good, torrent and boat nice control. Very good support hero now for agressive line ups.

I mean, these team captains are picking a pirate captain and don't even max X/torrent until level 14 (X is usually up by 10 tho).


I think Kunkka is similar to Chen or Ench or Dazzle for captains in that you don't really need to focus much on anything in particular, yet have an impact when needed and can just make calls and watch the minimap yourself. He was cedeing all farm on lane to sand king anyway. Kunkka got maybe 2 creeps in lane in total, yet was brutally effective for the ganks.

Only Ember and Mirana have that ability.

While I'm really happy at how this is going, it is still a Naga game. Fuck Naga.

Kuro is taking too much farm from Matu I think, it's been like 2 camps and a wave and a half when Matu was around

It's Invite vs Invite this match, so it was going to be the 4th out regardless.

Maybe if he would have stunned immediately after carapace. But he use the Vendetta hit first

To be honest, invite team would be down in this series anyways.

True, but so far most invite teams have been a huge disappointment result-wise, except for MVP.

In lane he gave the last hits to SK. Kunkka was 3 last hits when Sand king was 28.

Anyways idk why people are freaking out about the tide points. It seems clear to me it's because Tide + Caustic = effective zoning of Lifestealer.

Liquid pulls on the eHome-esq draft and it works. Maybe Newbee should have aggro tri and let Bat safelane instead of have 2 weak lanes.

Effective zoning of any hero in this game, actually.
