I have CSGO, I'm also at work. My body woke up at like 9 am, so I got enough sleep, but surviving until 4 am is gunna be rough. I had to get up and go for a run because my body was all "You fucking jackass."

Played some more games today, with a stack this time. Shadow Fiend is so weird—definitely not my style, Shadow Graze's range and delay took a very long time to get used to (71 minutes game because we had a prophet and I'm a scrub while the enemy team defended very well according to the other guys, at least it gave me time), and the "die -> go jungle to rebuild your souls" playstyle felt a bit boring/unimplicated.
I managed to fuck up a good 3-4 blink->ult by failing to estimate blink's range or missclicking, and being bad with Shadow Graze made me feel pretty useless overall early on (given our lead 3 fights actually broke out because they decided to bumrush the exposed raxes while I was jungling, which didn't help

).
Still, after building Blink-Treads-BKB-Shadow Blade-Butterfly I ended up with ~300 aa damage. I'm still getting used to casters becoming that strong at right-clicking with enough items, esp. since apart from 2 good ults (one of them let us snipe their drow 2v5 and defend our mid raxes) I was feeling useless in teamfights since I couldn't hit grazes to save my life.

SF is not a good newbie-friendly hero, and especially if you go Blink on him. Blink->Ulti doesn't really sell Blink on it's own compared to Shadow Blade or BKB. Blink only really makes sense for people with supreme confidence in their control at using Blink+Raze to kill people.

SF is more a carry with strong nukes than a caster that becomes strong with right click.

So, I'm finally getting around to listening to Kid Cudi's Man on the Moon and it is an amazing album. I've never enjoyed a rap album before, but when you listen to the whole album front to back it's damn good.

I'll have to check it out, the one thing these PC's have blocked is Youtube, I can get anywhere else though.

It's 'k, remember I played like 20 games total and I'm a scrub, so the other people in the game were bad too (like the razor who got an illusion run and showed up mid like that level 1, seeing Meepo's stats and range I assume I would have been totally dumped on had we been decent players), I rushed Blink then started doing Blink->Bind->multiple Poofs with teammates, then by myself once I had 4+ Meepos. People never grouped so there was noone to burst me down once I jumped an enemy (and in exchange I did nothing but splitpush and sometimes go call someone 'cause I'm bad).

'cept that time where 5 Poofs didn't kill Axe and I proceeded to counter-helix myself to death stacking on him. Laughed my ass-off on that one after the first proc.

I had Shadow Blade, but after Blink and BKB, Yango, 3 different items with actives is asking to much! It's already a lot when you've got 2 in LoL after all. 'cept when you play support in s3. Gotta start making use of keys you never even pressed before in games. @_@

My abilities in DOTA are bound as such,
Top slot items = 1,2,3
Bot Slot Items = z,x,c
Abilitys = q,w,e,r and "Extra" buttons are always w and e.

My unit groups are b v and n, with space bar always centering on my hero, only because my f1 key was broken when I was learning how to play so I had to rebind it. It's not that bad once you get used to the amount of items you have to use to actually kill a Heart'd Hero.

Discussion with someone a few hours earlier went that way:
"But my mechanics still suck anyway so I messed up a good 3-4 times by pressing 2 instead of W when doing the blink-bind-poof-tab-poof-tab-poof thing
- Wait you're using numbers for your items?
- Yeah
- So how do you bind your control groups?
- ..."

I mean, I knew of stuff like Lone Druid, but I thought "whatever, most of the time I'm only controlling one hero anyway".
Most of the time. ;_;

Reminded me of how shitty I was at BW and how hard I'd suck if I tried playing it again.

So with Hearthstone, if you don't ever pay real money does it just take forever to get anywhere? It's feeling like that right now :/

Yes, it will take you forever. Someone mathed it out on reddit, assuming you only do Your daily (averaged at 40g) and win 30 games to get your 100g for winning, it would take you something like 2 years to get enough packs to get the cards in the CURRENT set.

Got to rank 15 in one session (~3.5hr) tonight with aggro/tempo rogue. I'm liking it a lot. 12-14 dmg bursts happen a lot. Beat bunch of mages in rank 20s and pretty successful vs shaman, hunter, and druid in rank 20-15.

I'd prolly cut Perditions or Mukla, less likely Mukla, for a 2nd cold blood. The card is just soo good even if you don't combo it.

Other than that, it looks like my list but I'm not playing Yetis.

I really want to play League again but it's been so long since I posted in the Shikyo thread and I don't want to go down that path again. LoL single player mode plz.

yea I was thinking about somehow fitting in the 2nd cold blood, but cutting is hard. Perdition has been super solid (it's like a SI7 with charge). shadowstep has probably been the least used/flexible, but it's combo with leeroy is absurd. haven't had a chance to shadowstep+SI7 yet, although that's also a good combo.
