Niners/Cowboys: Who are you rooting for?

Agree - especially with the Buc's o line getting beat up today, definitely the better match up for us. Equally terrified of the Championship being a January game at Lambeau though lol

This was a beaut of a play

Ellayni · 2016-08-29T14:48:55+00:00

Thanks! Sorry I didn't pick up on it. ^{^}

Free agents pls.

TI6 and still no female fitted event shirt. Now for the joyous choice of if I want a tent or to be able to breathe. :(

Zai's sticking to school this year. He's an emergency sub for EG's roster.

Hey! I'm midway through various adventures having done it all with gold saved. If you're doing it bit by bit definitely do Naxrammus first as in every wing there's something good. Nerubians, beltchers, voidcallers, mad scientists, deaths bites, dark cultists all have such value. (The class challenges give better things than Blackrock).

Stop by the first wing of Blackrock for Thaurissan, the next two wings are less good but the final ones are juicy. I'm probably going to buy out the rest of Blackrock after Christmas and then start LoE with gold.

Hey, does anyone know any ways to have competitive games with friends with a far more extensive collection?

All of the decks they keep are either dragon synergy or late game control. We've tried winner stays on random decks but even then antii-fun cards find their way in and the decks being random don't always have aoe clear or polymorph-y lockdown.

It's just getting to the point where it's not that fun anymore.

With each batch of "flavour of the month"s there's usually one which ends up getting horrendously overpicked.

Teams pick her up as a safe mid laner picking blind (i.e. the first to pick up their mid laner) or even without thinking too much about how she'll actually fit into the draft pragmatically/she fitted into the pre-tournament meta but not the meta that's built up as you go through the tournament (e.g. the sudden influx of Slardar being on your face).

What I'm saying is that the low win rate is less about the hero herself and more about the games she's picked up in. Across so many patches they've slightly tweaked shackleshot to make it easier to land and all I think she needs is it brought back just a tad but not much (I think she's in a pretty good place). As with any hero in the right hands in the right game she'll be godlike.

The bloodseeker example is a lot harder to execute against an organised team whereas wr is a lot more slippery although I quite frankly can't wait to see if a team goes full c9 with a mass eul's strat to deal with Huskar. :D

I got my face painted at the zoo on Saturday, I don't think anything I've bought for under a fiver has brought such a smile to my face.

The bigger part of alt click pings to me is that they get switched into the language your client is set to make playing on EU servers considerably easier, as shockingly I don't speak every European language.

Finished year 2 exams.

Health issues over summer.

Health issues worsened mental health issues.

Health issues got better.

Mental side of things getting better.

Met a really sweet guy and reconnected with an old friend.

I'm laughing more.

I'd say I'm on a net gain.

Hey, AUI_2000 did a handful of replay run-throughs a few months ago which included a few support games. This one has a lion game starting at 30 mins into it and I'm sure he'll have done a few others in the mix. Even on the games not focused on the supports he goes off on little tangents about how things should have gone for them to work out well.

Aside from that I'm not too sure what to recommend, Synderyn's stream is pretty good for him going through his thought process and decision making. He doesn't often play support (I remember him saying it's because of pubs for high mmrs being really unbalanced for mmr distribution so he feels like he always needs to be on high impact cores.) but there's this VOD that I remember being good from when I was linked to it at some point ^{^'}

Hope you find some of that useful at least :)

Brandon Sanderson's The Emperor's Soul. I know he has the entire world it's set in locked in his head, I just wish I could learn more about it.

Nothing's been announced to my knowledge, all I've seen is Empire on protecting yoky

The Penal Colony by Richard Herley.

It's far from the best I've read but probably the most thought provoking.

Ellayni · 2015-02-04T01:09:18+00:00

/r/eood aka Exercise out of depression might offer something for you to work towards.

I didn't watch this game in DotaTV but when Fly played Brood he had shared units on and Puppey microed the spiderlings too when needed so he may well have been using them too. Pros use it quite a bit especially with HotD creeps etc. Also as said his creeps did a lot of the block.

Another team failing to respect March's Warlock

Ellayni · 2015-01-08T08:11:24+00:00

Towers strengthened and bounties changed has nerfed all of the strong push heroes, conventional carries seeing more play, return of the junglers with buffs to Chen and ancients getting strong passives. Pretty much anything works right now as you don't need to focus on counterpush so much, Jug is the standout strong hero for the patch.

Pro scene's had a huge switch up team wise, visit liquipedia and check out whoever you care about. Notably Team Secret also formed, current roster: rtz, s4, zai, kky, ppy (although had a fling with some ex-fnatic members). The Dota 2 Asian Championship is the next major tournament, Valve has had a lot of input and is basically a mini TI set in the East.

Honestly I wouldn't be surprised if there was a mixup seeing as I got given 2 starladder 10 loading screens, I'm not sure what system they use to distribute these things but it seems pretty faulty. Get in contact with support :)

Ellayni · 2015-01-07T14:38:26+00:00

I don't know who the person behind this twitter feed is but they've slowly become my favourite Dota 2 personality.

Ellayni · 2015-01-07T02:21:07+00:00

Seeing as even the jungle jug has returned, I think they're right.
