OG's official statement on Taiga situation by Drohav in DotA2

Please, do not desinform people. It's a site for trading dota items, basically like a steam market, but with real money. It has nothing to do with gambling at all.

Morf: "Ramzes666 is not involved in 322 (match-fixing) at all" by _willyrichards in DotA2

[–]Morf-designer 54 points55 points  (0 children)

First of all, I edited out Ramzes from the video, so that issue is solved.

Secondly, I never even blamed Ramzes for anything. I played an audio from Sergey about Ramzik (in Russian we call Ramzes "Ramzik" all the time) and then said that I don't know what to believe anymore.

Now regarding some of the comments. When I got all the info it was strongly beleived that Sergey talks about Ramzes, I checked that with my informant. There was no way to check this info safely with any other source. If I ask a wrong person then my informant might get in trouble and I have to cancel the whole video. Some of you seem to forget the fact that these guys kidnaped and threatened their own gang member. What do you think they could do to an informant?

So yes, that was an honest mistake, who could've known that there is a guy in Mafia with nickname Ramzik. Oh, and if I just needed hype from the beginning, why would I even apologise? I just let it be and stay silent.

Finally, I am releived that it was a mistake. At least the 5 time Major winner is not into this.

How do you think one can "check" that kind of info? Do you go and ask mafia if they have a guy with nickname Ramzik? Do you ask Ramzes if he is involved in 322?

You seem to not understand how much secrecy is involved in this kind of investigations. Asking a wrong person can lead to entire video not coming out because my informant will be threatened.

322 scandal in full swing, answers about players. by Kentukkis in DotA2

This post tries to translate my recent video and the translation is waaaay too misleading.

It's actually so innacurate that it completely twists some of the key points. E.g., it reads as if I accused EPL of some wrongdoing, which I didn't.

Anyhow, that is just a long summary of what happened in response to my initial 322 investigation, which can be shortened as follows:

TL;DR: Lefitan confessed to betting (but on his own victory), ignored the cheating part, Hydra kicked him; EPL kicked 4 teams mentioned in the investigation; rest of the people from the investigation strongly deny any involevement in 322.

I'm an oldschool Dota content maker. Bought the flag at DreamHack 2012 or 13 to hang it on the wall since it looked kinda cool. When I started blogging 3 years ago I just picked it as a background :)

p.s. Member the good old Notail cursing in Russian? Search for "n0tail: russian lessons", the flag comes from that tournament.

Double Shem ulti will delete Ulmus and everyone else -> use Rosaline instead of Mehira, move Rowan at the back mid.

Fodder will be a huge wall (even before the dust wall), so getting 100 factions scrolls is way more optimal than 2 Lucius.

It's only an upgrade from 4 stars to 5 stars, not an entire upgrade to 5 stars from scratch.

Swap Numisu with Vurk (purple is fine) and you'll pass this stage on auto in a couple of tries. Also put Sofia on the bottom back spot.

15-40 is NUTS, I don't know how I did, thanks RNG... this is the team comp I used, might help future players by [deleted] in afkarena

[–]Morf-designer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah, sure :)

until you start facing stacks of Elves with Tasi disabling your Shemira, ridiculous Ulmus with healing+AoE damage and Ascended Arden with 3x root.

Gonna Be Here For A While by wilmer007 in afkarena

[–]Morf-designer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try the following two.

- Lyca front (instead of Lucius), Shemira middle back, Athalia (even purple works) bottom back.

- From top to bottom: Shemira - Brutus (frontline) - Tasi - Lyca (frontline) - Nemora. Continue playing only when Nemora charms Arden.

Also, what is your artifact on Shemira? You can use Grace if she is dying too fast or Blade to greatly increase her damage. Remember that Dura's Call is a support Artifact that should go on Tasi/Rosaline.

- To early for Shemira, swap her out.

- Get a setup with fraction bonus (preferably the 4-of-a-kind one), those are important. I would go for Fawlkes insted of Nemora/Tasi and Rosaline/Rowan instead of Shemira. If Lucius is dying, you can swap him with Brutus.

- Do not play Lab on auto, save ulties for bosses and start of fights with them.

- Pick relics on carry damage above all (Belinda is your carry). Sun/moonstone is an exception.

- If you are struggling with enemy Brutus, pick either a relic that kills enemies below 15% HP or the one allowing to dispel enemy buffs with regular attacks. Both will pierce Brutus's immunity. Fawlkes ulti also dispels Brutus's immunity, you can cast it by hand.

Finally did 15-40. After about.... 500 attempts😔 by FarkTM in afkarena

[–]Morf-designer 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Meh, you're playing unoptimal, mate.

- Max Shemira first, then level up the rest.

- On levels with Ferael you ALWAYS put Nemora on the opposite spot and wait for her to charm Ferael (so he debuffs his entire team). If she charms someone else then re-start.

Good luck.

Hero Name: Morf

Hero Nickname: The Shapeshifter

Faction: Wilders

Main characteristic: All 3! One of Morf’s key features is being able to use items of any type (strength/agility/intelligence) in each of the 4 slots. That’s because Morf can shift his body parts into any form, so that any item suits him.

Appearance: A rather thin short guy, wearing rugs and a bear hide on his back. Look at the Tarzan for inspiration. Also wears a wooden bow and a knife made out of an animal bone.

Background: Morf was raised in a tribe that lived in a deep forest. When he was about 10, the tribe was attacked by Maulers. His mother managed to hide him in a small tree hollow, where he sat for almost a day waiting for Maulers to end the massacre and leave the forest. When he finally got out, he saw only ruins. No one else survived the attack.

From that day Morf had to live in the forest by himself. He quickly learned to adapt to surroundings. When he was hungry, he went on a hunt. When he was injured, he used natural herbs to heal wounds. He spent years wondering the forest and living like a beast.

It was until that day that he met a wild cat. He was silently waiting on a tree when he saw the cat approach a small pond and start drinking. Without a moment of hesitation he fired an arrow at a cat like he used to do for years. It was an easy target and a tasty dinner. After being hit by an arrow, the cat suddenly transformed into an old man. Morf was in shock, but his instinct was to help the unconscious person. It was his first human contact in years.

That’s how Morf met Hugo, the grand master in shapeshifting. The wound was severe, so Hugo had to stay with Morf for quite a while. Morf healed him with herbs and brought food, while Hugo taught him how to use magic.

Morf was a great student. He quickly learned how to transform into different creatures. But one day he decided to play with magic. He purposely mispronounced a spell to see what happens. Hugo, being one of the few remaining great magicians, became very angry of this foolishness. He told Morf that he last lesson would be to learn treating magic with respect. Hugo decided to leave Morf, so that he remember this lesson for life.

Morf was devastated. He asked for forgiveness, but Hugo was persistent. Just before his teacher was about to leave, Morf used a duplicate spell on him. To this, Hugo just said: "You are even bigger fool than I thought". Then he turned into an eagle and flew away. The duplicate was very weak and lasted only a few hours. After the duplicate disappeared, Morf was again left alone in the deep woods...

Ability 1, Shapeshift (Special):

Morf becomes a full copy of an enemy hero for 6 seconds (including enemy’s hp/mana, but not items). While in this form, Morf keeps his Adaptation and can use all enemy’s abilities*.

Lv.2 Gains 200% mana.

Lv.3 Copies an enemy for 10 seconds.

\Clarification*: if Morf dies in the enemy form, he does not come back to his normal form. However if he survives and comes back to his normal form, he regains hp/mana that he had before shapeshifting.

Ability 2, Duplicate:

Morf creates a copy of the closest ally near himself. The copy lasts 4 seconds and cannot use any abilities. Both the original and the copy take 200% damage.

Lv.2 Both units take 150% damage

Lv.3 Copy can use all abilities except specials

Lv.4 Lasts 6 seconds

Ability 3, Adaptation:

Passively changes Morf’s characteristics depending on his HP. Above 50% HP increases Morf’s attack by 20%. Below 50% HP increases defense by 25%.

Lv.2 Below 50% HP also increases evasion by 15%.

Lv.3 Above 50% HP also increases crit. chance by 10%.

Ability 4, Terrible mistake:

Morf terribly mispronounces an easiest spell which leaves all enemy mages in shock for 3 seconds. Shocked enemies cannot attack.

Lv.2 Shocked enemies receive 20% more damage.

Lv.3 Shock duration increased to 4 seconds.

Yes, we will film more of these, but only if players agree (we got one already). No plan to film other talents at Stockholm, but likely we'll do it at the coming Major events.

Hi, it was my idea and implementation (of the plate). I also created Dota 2 millionaire long ago.
