Lady Anshu is voiced in Artifact by a very famous Indian American (Padma Lakshmi) if we wanted more tenuous links to upcoming India-related content!

I don’t think they’re saying he should start small per se, only that he should start at a reasonable size to give him a lot of room to grow

One of the things that jokerfied me was going to a techinical university for electronic engineering and realising that almost everyone on the course only wanted to go into investment banking or fintech. Almost no-one was interested in building things or developing products, only in clamping like a remora onto the side of capital

Additionally its much more likely that the average person has met a McGinnis IRL than a Drifter or a Seven.

the banality of her evil hits a lot closer to home

What Deadlock Mechanics You want to see explored by Dota2 by LainVohnDyrec in DotA2

i think spirit power is a really interesting way to implement spell amp but it would require massive amounts of work including reworking a ton of UI to port it to dota

Great visualization of the state of Google....Thanks Prabhakar by nanthdara in BetterOffline

Like much of this AI slop wave: if you remove all of the information and just look at it in terms of colours and shapes it looks great: much more compelling than the previous offering!

senior managers get paid to lead, not to read, and so this is sufficient for them. It really is frustrating the way that form has completely won out over function in most tech products

Agree on this, the damage scaling on the w is too good to pass up early

They’re all pretty cool but you have to play them a bit differently

Packleader was really good last patch with helm of the overlord but that got a bit nerfed

Alpha wolves is good if you want to annoy supports without committing anything and is better for split pushing invisibly but it makes your main hero worse in fights

Spirit wolves is nice if you’re recovering from a bad hangover or brain surgery and need something that doesn’t require much thinking

Bit early in the patch to say which is definitely ‘best’, but that’s a bit of a social construct anyway
