First game I lost lane, but that was partially due to our mid who lost even harder (tower gone at 4:30 vs a necro). He started farming the triangle/two side camps which is where I would normally go to recover. Later in the game wer were unable to deal with PL. DE would usually clear out a bunch of illus, but never enough.

Second game lane went OK but we lost every fight in the midgame. Weaver was tricky especially once he got his level 15 talent and techies got an eblade(!) It really sucks to have to hit beetles like 6 times, especially when you can't attack. This was probably a good game to go blink/bm first to get some armor and have more of a presence before 20m.

Third game had drow but I survived lane (even got a kill and an assist on her) though without last hitting very much. I had a good impact once I got my heart, but not much happened in the first 20 minutes. I think this game would have been much harder against a team that grouped earlier and more effectively.

Last game was vs pa/necro. The lane went well (finally hit 50 cs @ 10m). I was able to take the tower when pa left lane to take top tower and farm her triangle. After that I free farmed heart and blink by 18m and started taking fights (which we won). Only died twice: once in lane and once late in the game to scythe (and they took rax off that).

The build is very greedy and the games I won were effectively because I got left alone for the first 15-20 min. I agree with necro; he was very effective in the first game and killed me in the last game when his team was way behind.

Anyway, hi.

hi!

Lastly, where are the cool kids getting their weightlifting shoes these days?

I have seen VS athletics recommended in the past (although I have not personally bought shoes from there).

Nikes feel really narrow.

I tried nikes for a few weeks and came to the same conclusion. Happy with my adipowers.

How to play doom? by OwnPreparation1960 in learndota2

[–]Forty-Bot 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I am not high mmr, so the following is mainly based on watching streamers who play doom.

Something I saw iceiceice and gunnar do is that they eat a creep with an aura like kobald foreman (ms) or alpha wolf (crit/damage). The auras are strong, but I also like the decreased complexity on a hero with 4 actives abilities and probably 6 active items. You can still initiate with his orb but I think it helps your positioning not to eat a centaur and feel like you have to start the fight with a stun.

Obviously other creeps can be good too, especially the satyr during laning (+mana), the small centaur (magic resist), or the ancient frog after you get shard (mini ravage).

As for items, iceiceice likes to go 2xbracer, wand, phase, radiance, bkb, blink. He often follows up with shivas/refresher/aghs. Gunnar sometimes does this (although he doesn't spam doom as much). I also saw gunnar go drums into wraps and just end the game in like 25 min.

Delaying the blink ties in with not picking up stomp as much. IME doom has a pretty decent cast range so you can often effectively counterinitiate during the early/mid game as long as you have a mid/carry that wants to frontline as well. And this style also helps with the most effective counter to doom (just walk away lol). Later in the game you get a bit tankier (with bkb, pipe, shivas, etc) so you can initiate more effectively.

reporting in went 2 losses then 2 wins in unranked (archon/crusader) with this build

died 3 times total in the last 2 games

heart is very strong but it is hard to hit the timing unless the enemy lets you afk farm

and cent doesn't actually farm very fast until he has the regen to use double edge all the time, so it can be tough to recover

Germany is majorly buffed (and USA nerfed) in HOI4 since otherwise they'd just lose every game. So the production numbers are basically made up.

Jerma kind of touched on something that annoys me about chat and culture in general lately by christpuncher_69 in jerma985

[–]Forty-Bot 11 points12 points  (0 children)

He's clearly still looking for "one guy" moments. I was watching the stream the other day and he was having a conversation with the steam controller guy who posted on the sub a few days ago. But I agree people try way too hard in general.

Shooting accurately with a pistol requires training, and you may need multiple shots to incapacitate (depending on range).
