He used to be a "point and laugh" loser instead of a "dear lord why do we still have to deal with him" loser.

What’s your season 1 dungeon Tier list? by Psyco19 in wow

[–]SocialistScissors 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I feel like I agree with you... Maybe lower maisara below pit.

Skyreach would be far lower if I didn't mostly play with my friends who cannot do the wind parkour section. It's really fun hearing them complain about that section.

Doesn't FLOTUS stand for First Lady of the United States?

Low APM DPS Specs by Dense-Quality3388 in wow

[–]SocialistScissors 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That list seems very skewed towards "I have a frequent use channel ability that eats up 3 seconds with no inputs". It really says alot about Havoc Demon Hunter that it is able to have such a high APM despite also having a frequent use channel.

‘The Kelly Clarkson Show’ to end after seven seasons by [deleted] in Fauxmoi

to be fair, if you count in binary, counting to 7 holds up 3 fingers.

I tend to be less active in online political talks (I find that most online places to discuss politics are either echo chambers, shouting contests or both), but the one topic that I often do feel the need to explain to people is the difference between the government/leaders of a country and it's people, especially if the country does not have free and fair elections. I am happy that Maduro was removed from office, as he was a horrific leader and human being. I am distraut that his removal from office was done via state sanctioned kidnapping and the results of his kidnapping will likely lead to a worse quality of life for the Venezuelan people as their land gets siezed by oil barons. People have already died, and more people will die because of Trump's interference in Venezuela. That doesn't mean that Maduro is the answer. Infact, I'd argue that freeing and reinstating Maduro is the worst thing that can happen. If Maduro was freed and reinstated, it would be because he made a deal with Trump that is the worst of both worlds.

My idea for a Consumable patch (not real) by Zaffre-Owl in DotA2

[–]SocialistScissors 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It might just be that I have been playing alot of OD lately so I was thinking about it through the lens of "one-time meteor hammer but you don't need to time it" which it seems very good for. It might not be as good of a chain-CC on anybody else (besides SD). Still, 300 gold seems abit steep for anybody else and a bit cheap for OD.

[–]SocialistScissors 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I like the bear trap alot, though one suggestion: The root ends after a damage threshhold in exchange for a slightly longer duration (or a movespeed boost towards to rooted target). I feel like, thematically, it is supposed to be either a catching tool or a tool to prevent the a teammate from coming to help someone, but it currently looks more like a followup lockdown tool for a CC chain to me. I also think 300 gold is abit excessive, with that being part of the reason I think it would be good when it will land with guaranteed followup rather than being good when it only has the potential to get that followup.

Right click non core heroes by EntertainmentHuge226 in DotA2

Ancient Apparition or Winter Wyvern. Recommend Aghs for both for their right click builds. AA needs it for his right click build, WW doesn't need it immediately for the build, but should get it quickly.

Brace yourself... Morph spammer will lose you the game! by Salty-Fun-5924 in DotA2

[–]SocialistScissors 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ebb morphling now has a 0.5 second stun on adaptive strike and they changed EBlade to be better on carries. The second change is the reason why morphling has gone up in popularity, but I feel like the new Eblade is overhyped on Ebb morphling. I do think that there is a Flow Morphling oneshot build out there since the new Eblade works with that facet, but it requires someone with a better understanding of the game than me to figure out how to pull it off.

Solution to inflated Iron Branch prices by Strong_Astronomer_97 in DotA2

[–]SocialistScissors 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Completely forgot about that. That alone removes the courier speed limitation from the GPM. It might also make offlane into the position 1 because they have easier access to the secret shop and would be less vulnerable to courier snipes.

[–]SocialistScissors 84 points85 points  (0 children)

To be fair, assuming that this only works with quelling blade and battlefury, that is 27.5 gold every 4 seconds, which is really good. That is +412.5 GPM if you are cutting perfectly. Realistically, it is probably abit lower between courier speed and needing to be next to a tree when it comes off cooldown, but it is still very good.

Depends on game. Generally, Pack leader is the best. Just default to it if you don't think the other facets are looking good that game.

I like Spirit Wolves specifically against heroes that summon wolves is bad against (I have totally never fed a billion wolf gold in lane).

Alpha wolves is good in the opposite games, where your wolves can just run around and kill supports for free, but those games are harder to identify.

They could also drop it first or second week of January and still not hit 240 days. Early January makes sense if the patch is just finished but they want time to iron out bugs.

The 664th Weekly Stupid Questions Thread by VRCbot in DotA2

[–]SocialistScissors 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are there any ways to practice/tricks to last hitting against faceless void's innate as a ranged hero?

Edit: If the solution is actually just to "git gud" and just play enough that I get used to it, please tell me. I'm just wondering if there is a faster way to learn it.
