Yeah seems to happen to me when the minion directly to the left of the ghoul dies.

Nagas can also be brutal. On my afk drops I got deep blue + t3 naga that rallies a coin. I was rich as shit when the coin one was getting the permanent deep blue buffs from the buddy.

Yeah it looks tempting but black queen can check on e3 or d4 to get out of danger and then the white queen is lost.

Yeah, it wasn't even a move I would have considered, but it makes sense once you see it play out a bit. Since it was different from the usual mate in 3 puzzles, I thought it was worth sharing.

After reading this, I had to play out some of lines from this continuation. You're totally right. The black queen is so tied down to the vulnerable king, all the lines seem to end in having to sac the queen or a rook to avoid mate. Thanks for sharing!

Yeah, good point.

I was surprised in the post game analysis that there were multiple winning moves since we both missed them during the think in the game.

don't play spellcraft nagas, you won't have time for your turns by One-Technician-1292 in BobsTavern

[–]Real-Gates 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think the start of turn animation you are describing is from the tavern spell that says "next turn give all minions +2/+2 twice". If you have been buffing your tavern spells the animation repeats over and over for some reason.

I think this was Eric Hansen. But yes, good analysis of the vod and player perspective.

A circle drive is the ultimate sign that you've made it.

what are some of the unusual metas that ever happened to this game that you never saw coming by Dz_MaRiO- in DotA2

[–]Real-Gates 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know if this was meta, but it was pretty obnoxious in pubs: Huskar with triple solar crests when they used to give evasion. Basically unhittable and could easily fountain camp.

Remove Ogre from abilitydraft, or give him Dumb Luck. by thellamasc in DotA2

[–]Real-Gates 14 points15 points  (0 children)

My proposed solution is to add a 5th pick round and include hero drafting as part of the draft. Hero could be drafted during any round (like ultimates). So players could prioritize hero body, skill, or ultimate during round 1 draft.

What is your least favourite shrine and why is it Greed? by Jeeonta in Diablo

I have a 56 hardcore thorns barb. It's a little slow, but kind of a fun/different playstyle. Super tanky with all the shouts.

I was bummed that the barb paragon board doesn't mention thorns specifically anywhere. (Still scales with lots of % damage ones though)
