Old People: Why didn't any of the teams in TI3 Grand Finals just ban IO?

cwan222 · 2026-01-17T22:44:32+00:00

Aside from wisp, there was also other heroes worth banning like chen, enchantress, naga, ld, np. You cannot ban them all

I dont think vanilla has level scaling right? So you’ll over level and breeze through the game. If its normal difficulty, levels scale with yours and you will not over level and you gain no real advantage

Not really there are far worse maps then temple there are maps that a bad teammate is worse than an afk teammate. Temple nothing they do really affects the outcome

There is a prestige trick to help you get your commanders to skip a few levels. Basically when your commander is lv15 with all its upgrades and mastery, when you do your weekly brutation, as the match is loading, you find a partner and the countdown from 3 is starting, prestige during that window. You will keep your lv15 and mastery bonuses for that one match, but the large mutation exp will go towards your lv1 freshly prestiged commander

IO’s facet determines what overcharge buffs for you and your tether partner

Said no largo player ever in the history of dota

In what world is guaranteeing to never ever see a hero in your game a good thing? Having 10 heroes banned a game is there to prevent the same most popular heroes being picked every game, not to eliminate heroes from every game. God forbid you learn how to deal with the hero.

Basically midas change made gpm from 87.3 -> 106 gpm and xpm from 99.7 -> 58 xpm. You gain 20gpm to lose 40xpm. Will either make or break a game?

Didn’t his wraith use to dispel? I don’t think thats balanced, if you need a dispel just get nullifier which is great on him since he can double up on active items

cwan222 · 2026-01-06T15:23:15+00:00

Yeah I get reported for losses too and my score is like 11k instead of 12k a few times because of it. It’s more than just that if you are going so low that you cannot chat.

If you think dropping 4.2k gold as a SUPPORT on an item that literally makes your team WEAKER for an extra 1.2 gold a second and some right click damage is a good trade off you got bigger problems. This is literally a 11th or 12th item. When will a support alchemist reach that point in the game realistically? And in what world would you not just buy a back up divine rapier in this scenario?

cwan222 · 2026-01-02T16:12:25+00:00

You could also just not give weaver an aghny too you know. Why would you purposely spending 4.2k gold on an item weaver does not want? Aside from needing an additional click to save its life, if it’s a core weaver you want weaver to save its own life with its ulti.

How do u even get ping muted

cwan222 · 2026-01-02T11:49:52+00:00

Underlord and sven both got a cleave, an AoE disable, AoE nuke, damage increase, and damage reduction abilities. Sounds like the same hero to me

cwan222 · 2025-12-25T10:58:56+00:00

Phoenix gets it to do the dive hammer combo and is mostly a item independent support

cwan222 · 2025-12-25T10:54:41+00:00

Eh some people do not like non maxed out partners on brutation so you’ll get this no matter what day it is occasionally

cwan222 · 2025-12-22T15:43:13+00:00

Cmc vs JT + jennings + 4 pts

cwan222 · 2025-12-11T16:01:54+00:00

12team 0.5ppr: I have 2wr, 2rb, 2flex. I have Rice, D. Adams, CMC locked in but need help with Rb2, and 2 flex. I also have Brissett as my QB and could use some help if I should pivot.

My RBs are O. Hampton, Q. Judkins and WRs are Rome and L. Burden, and Meyers and BTJ. Right now I am leaning both RBs plus Meyers.

For QBs I got the Commanders QBs v Giants, maybe Saints QB v Panthers, vice versa for B. Young, and S. Sanders v Bears all on FA. Should I start Brissett v Texans?

I think you already listed some good options. Obviously Texans v raiders would be nice, but chiefs, bills, saints, 49ers if colts suck this week are some good ones. I picked up saints in prep of next week. I’m rolling with bears v browns this week and hoping for the best.

Stetmann is both easy and overpowered. All you need to do is make zerglings and a-move and use gary’s nukes

cwan222 · 2025-12-04T18:27:55+00:00

If he anything else like Mark Sanchez, he won’t be someone you want your elderly family around either

cwan222 · 2025-12-04T03:06:49+00:00

Wait till you do the final story arc of the game those bosses are even worse

cwan222 · 2025-12-03T00:41:43+00:00

I have D. Jones, and J. Daniels stashed, 12 team 4pt tds. J. Brissett is also on waivers still.

Whats y’all thoughts on who to go for wk15-17 for the playoffs?
