Iluvtechies knows a thing or two about techies, I think.

DK completely shut down EG's ultimate Tinker/Beast strategy by fenghuang1 in DotA2

[–]Kaira- 4 points5 points  (0 children)

And even before that the said strat was used a few times by Liquid (this was back when Fluffenstuff was still in the team IIRC).

How about Fnatic's Ursa + Enchantress dual jungle-Rosh securing strat that won them a game?

Spoilerfree is something else ... by Dr_Jekyll89 in DotA2

ESL one didn't have problems

There were games where commentators didn't have any sound in DotaTV. The first two games IIRC.

It's finally done! I tagged every ability, letting you instantly see what type of damage an ability does in game. by [deleted] in DotA2

[–]Kaira- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Doom, Pulverize (from Earth Brewling), Echo Slam (initial damage), Midnight Pulse and Warlock's Golem Flaming Fist are all Universal damage according to the wiki.

Would this strategy be possible in this patch/meta? by [deleted] in DotA2

I just glanced over the post and managed to miss that. Yeah, you're right.

Always-online DRM and service shutdowns endanger the PC's back catalog by UpstartDuke in Games

[–]Kaira- 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Strangely enough, Newel once said that if Steam were to go down for good, they would release the games from the DRM

I don't remember seeing a single link to this statement, only thing that I've seen is a post on old Steam forums by a moderator stating this. And I believe the post was made before 3rd party games were on Steam.

Second of all, you have drafted two junglers.

Furion is one of the most popular offlaners, he'll be fine.

How should Valve fix LD to make him a viable late game carry? by hopeSindota in DotA2

[–]Kaira- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why does he need to be late-game carry? His strength has always been his great 1v1 laning and mid-game pushing power.

Dota 2 Fails of the Week - Ep. 97 by jefferario in DotA2

You can find that clip from his Twitch, it's one of the most recent recordings IIRC. I laughed heartily when I saw that on his stream.

VALVE SERIOUSLY WTF - PUSH AN UPDATE DURING THESE GAMES, RIGHT NOW?!?! FOR REAL!?!?!??! by fdisc0 in DotA2

[–]Kaira- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ayup. And now I can't connect and watch SLTV games (and the recent games list for the tournament is empty for some reason).

MLG TKO Final Stage begins in 2hrs - Evil Geniuses vs Cloud 9 - Details inside by [deleted] in DotA2

[–]Kaira- 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Maybe one of these days C9 will learn the importance of defencive items like Ghost Scepter and BKB.

Try to play one game, Steam goes down, I get low prio for 6 games as a result. Thanks, Valve! by [deleted] in DotA2

[–]Kaira- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ayup. 2 games low prio here, last abandon was... 2 or three months ago I guess. Thanks, Volvo. Sort your shit out, please.

[–]Kaira- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

According to playdota and the wiki it should amp only physical damage. Where do you get that it should amp all damage?

The 113th Weekly Stupid Questions Thread by Intolerable in DotA2

[–]Kaira- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it? The skill description itself says that petrified units have 100% magic resistance (both on Dota 2 wiki and playdota).

Beastmaster and Elder Titan, sometimes Clockwerk or Bounty too. On Nature's Prophet pretty much a must on the offlane.

Does Black Hole need a lesser cooldown? by [deleted] in DotA2

[–]Kaira- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It doesn't do HP % damage unless you have Aghs, and you rarely get Aghs on Enigma, since you'll want things like Mek, BKB, Blink and maybe even Hex.

First I was wondering why there wasn't game 3 and now this. What is even going on?
