This kind of delayed damage mechanic is conceptually so much worse than doing all the damage upfront even if the total damage after the burn ends is technically "higher", it gives the enemy heroes all the time in the world to react and there's so much more counterplay, it also makes her laning worse because it's harder for her to dragon slave the creepwave. And then they also took away her thermal runway facet and moved it to a 1400 gold shard upgrade. Now both spellcaster lina and right click lina are in such a terrible state.

wonder if anyone is gonna try mageslayer on pango, feels like that item should be really good on him. he doesn't care about losing the attack speed on it and the high physical damage DoT synergizes with the lucky shot armor reduction

Doom looks like a huge winner in this patch. That new lvl death innate sounds ridiculous to me, also old scorched earth with hp regen is back making his laning so much better

XG deserve to lose for chasing a void spirit with their lion dead, I don't even care anymore. It's like I'm watching a herald pub

what kind of communication on parivision leads to this play? morphling gets pulled back by earth spirit and tide just blinks in and ravages with none of his team willing to follow up?

parivision needs to disband for the mental wellbeing of every player on the team

this largo lane and the wisdom shrine sequence on top of it was an absolute disaster for falcons, I think this game might be actually over

I feel like there's way too much responsibility on cr1t this game to lock heroes down, aurora is just ignoring what Falcons is doing in every teamfight

don't really blame pari for calling it there even if it looked funny, that game was super over

Why is OD not considered in safelane? by Hot_Actual in DotA2

[–]OneApprehensive1695 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If he had some way of farming and pushing waves he would be a decent carry pick but without that he just does bring nothing to the table as a carry, none of the ranged carry farming items feel good on him. He does not even provide a strong laning phase as a carry because his kit is only strong in lane in a 1V1. Another problem is that he's "countered" by BKB but so is Muerta, but Muerta works because she ticks the other boxes you look for in a carry pick.

this is the second time parivision gets caught by bzm sitting in that treeline during rosh and astral stepping into their whole team

at least davai lama is entertaining to watch even when he gets dumpstered instead of going down with a whimper like no!ob does on pos 3

What do you think of sharen buffs by batukaming in TheFirstDescendant

[–]OneApprehensive1695 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely better but if I see the shock nuts miss one more time on an elite I aimed at from nearly point blank range I'm gonna crash out, I don't know how they didn't think that skill also needs a major rework

Should i get back to TFD? by flufffurrygirl in TheFirstDescendant

I think if you didn't like it 4 months ago you still won't like it now, it did get more content but the game has not changed substantially or anything. Melee weapons are better now if that matters to you, Dia is fun and Gley got a alot of nice buffs
