Not only did oats get fucked, but zoast got a lead that's likely to remove any sense of tension from the race. Any% can be gay like that.

Yeah, but it seems like zoast could get rando-fucked just as easily.
+ Show Spoiler +To be honest, the volatility of this race has always made it low-hype for me. But then I never played this game either, so there's that too.

Zoast is kind of showing what I meant. The rest of the run is almost entirely execution without major rng, and he's a Metroid god so he's consistently increasing his lead. Needed him to come out of phantoon down like 20 seconds to really ratchet up the tension since kott and behemoth aren't his opponents in the race.
Damn he missed Metroid skip, he was on a sick pace.

In Smash, Jigglypuff is a character that forces defensive play, long matches, and zoning-based play over aggressive combos and action.
In DotA, Techies is a character that forces defensive play, long matches, and zoning-based play over teamfighting and action.
They have fundamentally the same impact on their respective games, and are hated for similar reasons by players in the community. But somehow, Aui is a god for playing Techies, but Hungrybox is the devil for playing Jigglypuff?

Aui is a god for playing techies because it means even he succumbed to the explosions. Techies has awesome quotes and is litterally the first character I ever played in dota1. There for he is the best character.
While yes they have similar playstyles, its not as cancerous to me as it is in melee. As far as that goes, I'mma stop posting about that because last time I did Cheep got mad.

Stop getting mad cheep. Go have an ice cream and lay down.

Nice they didn't do some random 1 hour closing ceremony where no one knows what's going on!
That one AGDQ one was so bad. Glad they were just like thanks for coming goodbye.

TI3 was great, probably one of the best times I've had especially if you meetup with TLers. Wish I could have stayed for TI4, but I had to leave during the last day of groups before the main event.

Inc 13 hours of travel though...

New HS card, Don't know if anyone linked + Show Spoiler +. Translation is 3 Mana 3 Attack, 3 Health Your Hero Power counts as a spell.
I wonder if it will add armour if you have SP out or dagger upgrades or if it just counts as a spell for stuff like archmage. Really wish they'd have more detailed rules about cards in the game.
edit: Oh could be fake.
Another card + Show Spoiler + Translation:2 mana, 2/3. Battlecry: Gain 1 empty mana crystal. Deathrattle: Lose 1 mana crystal.

Very interesting Ramp Druid card. If it survives a single turn before dying, it's a Coin. If it gets silenced or something, it's a Wild Growth. Pretty neat, if nothing else it doesn't get me as depressed as some of the other ones!
|
First one is interesting. Has implications for flamewaker mage (and mage in general) and miracle rogue. Niche card.
Second one...eh. Besides being a nerf to piloted shredder and mirror entity, not sure what else there is to say about it. No current druid deck will run it, because despite not running 2 drops because wild growth/innervate, a 2/3 is decidedly uninspiring. Unless a buff-centric druid becomes a thing, but lol.
