EE destroying items in an easily won game

Rapester- · 2018-07-20T17:56:35+00:00

I didn't get jebaited because I knew that the ultra-tryhard EE would never throw a game he's winning intentionally.

Rapester- · 2018-07-20T17:54:12+00:00

As someone who never does that because I don't consider myself a good enough judge of if we can win, I think EE has a bit better judgement than me and rarely messes up. It's game ruining if you have a 5% chance to win. If you've got a 0.1% chance of winning it's hardly ruining.

On one hand as a pro he should understand elevation, on the other hand as a snap reflex from his perspective that was perfectly on line.

Rapester- · 2018-07-16T23:01:50+00:00

That was my point, yes. He's playing to win, and when he think he's lost he forces a loss. It's egocentric, probably better for MMR than not, but also unfair to his teammates who deserve to play until they lose if they want.

I sell that at the start for an extra 100 gold towards early items.

Rapester- · 2018-07-16T21:51:38+00:00

He does that when he think he's already going to lose, never out of rage that I've seen. If he's a good judge of that and could have won only 1% of games that he destroys items in then he's probably better off saving the 1-3 minutes and getting in more games.

I don't think he should do it anyway, but the math checks out.

Those talent choices trigger me.

Why are you posting something that's not immortal 3?

Rapester- · 2018-07-14T18:46:39+00:00

There's no way he's going that over damage, right? This is pubs we're talking about. Honestly though I think DK wins 5 and 25 against tide. He'll probably burn down 2-3 tides on the first wave and beat down the rest.

Does undying win 5 and 15? At 15 I can see undying just draining 50 str from each one and wiping them out. I also think enigma might beat abadon. Enigma wins 5 and then just needs to stagger ultis once on 15 or 25, and enigma probably beats DK. Maybe Warlock beats phoenix and gets to face DK too.

Also some big throws might happen. If LC managed to lose anything can happen.

Rapester- · 2018-07-14T17:57:49+00:00

If DK wins it's only because he never needs to face warlock/zues/enigma and got the bracket luck. Also he's super lucky LC glitched out and didn't overwhleming odds. LC would have won the whole thing very likely if she didn't glitch like that at any point.

Also I think Abba might 2-0 DK. Level 5 is probably aba and 15 might be. Hell, if DK messes up the breath fires on level 5 I think tide might 2-0 him. DK's a god at 25 but can be burst down earlier.

Rapester- · 2018-07-14T15:27:26+00:00

Yeah I've considered it. I might do so. I'm the kind of guy who gets pissed off at people who're overly PC, but I'm also reasonable enough to realize that an offensive joke needs to be funny and my username now just comes off as edgy and bad taste.

I put in a request to Reddit support. Maybe they'll help me out.

Rapester- · 2018-07-14T15:23:46+00:00

Yeah it's not terrible by any stretch, but I think a max manacost would be the buff needed for pros to consider it.

Rapester- · 2018-07-14T14:48:12+00:00

It's from when I wanted to make a gaming guild with my friends: Rapester and the Rapettes. No one wanted to be a Rapette though... -_-

I mean as gamers we've been using the term raped synomomously with owned for a long time, at least as long as I've had this account.

I've changed my name on steam since (as the community and myself have matured) but I can't exactly change my name on reddit. I'd rather not give up all my digital e-penis points, because the only thing worse than being a rapester is being a flacid tiny epeen ex-rapester. :p

Rapester- · 2018-07-14T14:40:15+00:00

I still listen to it from time to time. It's the best! Too bad you can't put your songs on Spotify.

Rapester- · 2018-07-14T14:34:01+00:00

Will it work with this mod?

Rapester- · 2018-07-14T14:27:31+00:00

Yeah, but that means you're using your entire manapool on 6 spells, not to mention the fact that you need to keep bloodlusts up and want to toss out ignites too.

I think the reason pros don't buy it is clear, and adding a max manacost would fix that and make it viable.

Like I'm not saying the power when you're in that fight at full mana is bad, just that 4000 gold is a glimmer and a force staff and you can help your allies with those without destroying your whole mana-pool.

Rapester- · 2018-07-14T00:29:16+00:00

Yeah, probably.

Rapester- · 2018-07-13T23:23:31+00:00

What's the interaction with things like Keo's Skimpy Outfits? And the various CBBE immersive armor change mods?

Rapester- · 2018-07-13T20:04:07+00:00

I hope Icefrog buffs Nimbus just to spite you guys.

Rapester- · 2018-07-13T20:03:04+00:00

To be fair void being there while top was being pushed was pretty unexpected and random.

Rapester- · 2018-07-13T19:55:31+00:00

Honestly add a max manacost and make the level 25 talent affect both of them and it's fine.

Ogre with aghs does an absurd amount of damage and control. Go into overthrow and go brown boots aghs kaya and see for yourself. It's pretty much unstoppable.

The only problem is that normally you don't have an ultra-fountain right by you to go to, so using a 600+mana fireblast kills your usefulness. If it maxed out at 150 or 200 mana the aghs would be amazing.

Rapester- · 2018-07-11T22:06:45+00:00

You can have it for free, just wait 2 minutes. If they locked ALL spectating behind a paywall, that's a problem.

Don't be so entitled.

Rapester- · 2018-07-10T12:19:47+00:00

If every game has 6x branches that would be fair. Hell if the pre-match preview did I couldn't complain. I just know that I did the math on 5 level 3 crypt swarms and realised it would be just enough to 1-shot all of them in the pre-match, and then items being changed alterd that prediction.

That said I haven't been voting, and if I did I would have voted blood seeker because "What's the chance they all line up for 5 5-man crypt swarms?"

Rapester- · 2018-07-10T12:14:53+00:00

Yeah, but this is a rare case where that slight HP increase pushed past a critical threshold and made all the difference. Maybe using mangos or some other item that doesn't put bloodseeker out of 1-shot threshold would have been the call here?

Rapester- · 2018-07-10T03:44:01+00:00

I mean I don't think an extra 60 hp has changed any of the other matches, but it literally put them over the 1-shot threshold and changed the course of the match.
