I'm ready for a lot of Nerfs after TI.

I want brood dead, never fond of her, and old guard heroes back

I miss the AMs, The Naga, the SF.

ANyway, Liquid and LGD as expected, EG getting their shit together for another TI and Well, OG now driven by ruthless emotion is coming to try and snatch the aegis.


As long as its not a naga core, I'm fine. Generally I hate heroes that can siege or farm with hardly any risk. Like immortal huskar/alch, or usually illusions. Its just not fun.



I always loved ilusion based heroes and what they provide, but I concurr from a "viewer standpoint" they are more boring that not.

With that said, I'd like more splitpush and more hero focus and less laning pressure into so many resources, I feel there's too much on the map and everyone is rich (this is not specifically new, has been coming for a long while, I feel that TI4 just left a bad taste for so many people that Icefrog lost the way and started changing in the wrong directiong), but that's an old player perspective. I know for sure that "THIS" dota2 attracts more viewers and players than the old one, sadly.

Every TI Puppey gets eliminated, plays a super strong early game support, fails to get more advantage than expected, become useless in mid game, blames cores when they lose.

Happened at least for the last 3 TI. Overrated support captain =/

yapzor played much worse than puppey this game


Umm? Yapzor hit so many LSA, thought he had an OK series. But midone was disgustingly poor. 10k player can't zip creeps and played mk like a pub. Kinda disappointed at this series tbh

Yapzor missed a ton of easy LSAs that led to secret either missing out on easy kills or getting wiped because they had to overcommit to a kill--the bottom fight where they got wiped is a good example, they had to spend an extra few seconds chasing down MC and he ended up being forced to use laguna blade on him

e: that said first pick Chen was pretty useless, the hero is just worse than the supports that Liquid was picking early

Should probably update the schedule on TL?

They just changed the schedule of the EG match from 1600 to 1800. Man keeping up with all the schedule changes makes it really hard to plan my day

And also from a teammate standpoint or opponent standpoint. It's fun to play but it's a pain for the 9 other players in the game most of the time, absolutely not worth it.

True, if you pick Yapzor a roamer with instant stun not LSA Lina...
This game is about towers and the Throne, not kills and fancy play.

I think Puppey planned for the Lina to be mid, but the brood...

He should've banned it.

Dark Willow is not a cosplayable character, just like Puck.
