I'd say we did it to ourselves.

They went down a player, so our players went into lazy mode and started wondering around solo, getting picked off. Meepo got fed, the Rosh wasn't a great idea as we didn't have vision over the Radiant high ground or river so we were open to be ganked.

Support didn't want to get disables so couldn't stop him poofing and wasn't enough bkb.

Farm was slowed down due to hardly any warding in our forest.

Should have won that game easily as we had a good start.

I have now really started to lose enjoyment and it's clearly effecting my attitude and play style. I used to be nice in the game and I'm turning quite angry :( People treat the game like it's Battlefield and as long as you have kills deaths don't matter.

What do you expect at 1k mmr :) ;)

We were talking about wand not stick...

I agree that I don't buy wand every single game but I sure do I get it in most games. You already have branches to start with anyway, why not turn it into a wand? 150 gold is worth freeing up the item slots, and it's such a cost effective item anyway with decent early game stats.
 
haha I was going to say ^^^^

Heroes that aren't being picked got buffed which is great. Nerfs to the heroes I'm bored of seeing so often as well. Look forward to it.
 
I'm sure we'll see even more picks of Lifestealer, however getting used to playing Shadow Demon now. What a fantastic hero for setting up kills and controlling fights.
 
One of my favourite changes tucked away right at the bottom:
Alt-Clicking an enemy's bottle now shows what rune is inside of it

I could never understand why that wasn't there before!
 
I don't really see this as a huge buff to lifestealer at all.

Can't see it making him picked much more, in pro games anyway. He fell out of popularity as he is too easy to kite, this doesn't really change that.

Agreed, range on fire blast wasn't that great to start with :/

It had a longer range than magic missile and now it's slightly shorter.

He has ignite to slow them down so he can get in range and will eventually want a blink anyway.

So it is a small nerf, don't think it will stop him being picked.
 
OK, so completely unrelated to the new patch...

I was playing a game with Spirit Breaker the other day (not as Spirit Breaker) and started thinking that Bloodseeker would be a good teammate for Spirit Breaker as his Ulti means Spirit Breaker could chase down the retreating heroes on low health.
I then got to thinking of other heros that could go in the team that might also make use of this. I thought Storm Spirit would be good with his Ulti, although range is more limited. Then maybe Io as a support that could relocate Bloodseeker. Finally I thought Nature's Prophet because of his TP ability.

Would this team work?
Would they be all about the early ganking and have no team fight later on?
Are there better picks that could make use of Bloodseeker's passive ability to see low health heroes?

Come to think of it, can you actually see the heroes or just their location on the map?
 
Yeah global lineups are fairly common in all pick and yes you can see the hero. Usually involve some combo of:

Invoker (exort)
AA
Nature's prophet
Wisp
Spectre

etc.
