    Got new Nature's Prophet mythical taunt. Of course, equipping it crashes the game for everyone.

    I suppose I could wait until it's obvious we're going to lose, then equip it. The ultimate deny.

    I unboxed and equipped the Axe one today, is this a known issue across all of them? Would explain the trouble I had getting a game started earlier.

    I have the spider shuffle and as soon as I click Play after hero selection I get a connection issue. Problem was solved by unequipping it, so all taunts seems to cause it.

    I have Axe's taunt equipped, I was playing no problem last night, taunting like a fool.

    I played against a competent Treant for the first time yesterday. Not fun...
    In the past I have never had to consider Treants much more then creeps that can stand still.

    Yeah, he's totally back to pub stomping master. They might as well just give him back the old passive and be done with it.
  • SicariiSicarii Registered User regular
    The influence is subtle though: teammates buy less consumables, stay in lane longer, escape ganks, dive towers...

    combined with enemies being unable to take towers without a dedicated team effort before 30 minutes in.

    You're the ultimate unsung support. I finished my last treant game 0-2-2 with only mek and boots and the game was a total stomp...

    See thats my problem with Treant, he just never does enough of anything to get items. Refresher Orb? I'm happy if I manage to finish some boots...

    The cd on his ulti is really low now. He really doesn't benefit from refresher like he used to.

    Two in a row is still two in a row, but you may honestly be better off trying to leverage his hysterical base damage now, yeah.

    The base damage means you can easily farm, though most of the time you won't be doing it. (Though holy crap can you harass enemy heroes at lvl 1) When I play him now, I just sit in lane and constantly spam living armor. You'll give your team such a wild ass advantage early that most enemy teams will never come back from the deficit.

    You do have to know how to abuse his invis though. I see people play him all the time and they never use it. Because you can cast spells and use items without popping the invis, you can do some amazing shit.

    The cost of living armor combined with his innate mana regen at lvl 1 means you can essentially chain cast the armor and not run out of mana. Makes the early laning stages really delightful.

    I played a match of ogre magi last night and was having pretty good luck.

    This is what it was pretty much:

    So I played a game as treant.

    Hilarious, just spamming living armor all over the field while pulling and occassionally walking into lane to help the dude I was "laning" with. And once teamfights started I just walked into the middle, ulted and waddled out barely surviving, making sure to spam living armor on whoever was ending up focused. We had a qop who did so many crazy ballsy things and just got away due to it.

    I was able to connect to the first match but this other match I can't seem to get anything.

    It seems really problematic for this courier to upgrade based on "watching games" if the watch system is capped at ~40k viewers from the looks of it.

    Seems like the courier is still getting "games watched" even though I can't connect either. Mixed results from people right now, but yeah, shit's fucked.

    You can still get games watched from replays. You do miss out on item drops, but 1 in 50k is pretty long odds anyway.

    It started working again as the game was starting. [Retracted] should have won that game, I'm regretting picking them as my 2nd in the west.

    Lich is a beast, half of the time he ends up carrying in pugs.
  • sumwarsumwar Registered User regular
    For the most part I'm not interested in the qualifiers. I do want to watch all the LGD.cn games since they're much better than everyone else. If they lose that'd be one hell of an upset. If they win, I get to watch lgd.cn murder everybody which would be fucking awesome:).

    I hope so.

    Indications as to which games are most worth watching are always welcome, however.

    That's what I've found in a couple games. Also tired of getting bitched at when I back away from a teamfight when I'm being focused. I'm dead in 3 seconds otherwise, buddy.
  • mtsmts Registered User regular
    ok , dddota vs empire is probably not worth watching

    however if you like awesome puck play watch game 2
    scandal of empire was insane, and was the entire team for a while but had no support

    Oh boy, that was not something I was aware of. Yeah, pipe would make his ultimate useless. I guess the counter would be a refresher orb so you can go 2 ult's back to back?

    Or just wait it out. Nothing says you need to throw your ult right away unless it's to stop a black-hole or something. Make sure ice armor is up, throw out your nuke, and when the pipe drops (assuming there aren't waves of creeps around) throw that shit out.

    Seems like the guy with the pipe would be waiting to see the orb go from the ult no? (Assuming lich was the only guy around worth using pipe for)
  • Dark_SideDark_Side Registered User regular
    Nah, I wouldn't go refresher. If pipe shows up early, which it won't in a pub, you will have be more judicious about when you ult. Lich is an early game monster, he falls off a bit late, and since in most pubs pipe doesn't ever show up early, you probably don't have to worry. If it does, you just buy up utility aura items.
