I wont make no mistake xD My farm at 33 mins is HORRIBLE however I started off good had my midas at like 5/7mins was doing pretty well.
However I think this is one of my first games where people were INTENTIONALLY feeding, that plus no one on our team seemed to know how to disable friendly help so IO kept teleporting people to the enemy fountain.

Haha XD Man I dont get why people enjoy wasting nearly 40 mins doing this sort of thing?
 
Got Puck on my fifth try, stil don't like the hero but got pretty comfortable with him by the end, went 4/4/25 so was pretty happy. I went uber commander mode though and bossed everyone around :p the 3 stack didn't particularly like it but they listened and we won against a better set up line up, got a commend off the QoP player for bossing everyone round though :D

Got Ursa next, who I'm pretty good with, then Magnus who I have never, ever played before :eek:
 
Got Magnus in 3, I rather like the hero now I'm a bit used to him, plays really well when he has a bit of farm.

Then I got Shaker, Wind & Techies all in 1. Must admit I rather enjoyed Techies :o quite satisfying watching people blow up and nerd raging every time they die :p
 
Can someone explain the damage block more clearly please.

Nice LC/Lifestealer/NP/Siren & Meepo additions.

Ursa looks as though he can now purge anything on him and go into mental mode
 
Gonna read through this now,

Changes are needed because the whole new era carry thing is a bit ridiculous. One item build that works on almost every carry was a kick in the teeth. So frustrating.
 
Sniper is super slapped down. I think it's too harsh personally (Trolls nerf for example seems a lot better) I think the nerfs to him along with nerfs to his popular items (MOM for example) and the change to gold earning is going to hit him far too hard.
 
I cant wait for the new patch to come out some of the new items are amazing, I think the new shadowblade sange combo will be REALLY strong on someone like slark O_O.

It feels like the focus of this patch was to allow players to consume items/combine items so that when they are finally six slotted they can be much stronger then they currently for example they are actually 7/8 slotted if items like aghs/moonshard are consumed and the combined items are used etc.


Also the feed so stronk, my kunkka never even finished an items O_O.

Whilst I'm inclined to agree Sniper is so no skill boring **** hero seeing him disappear for a patch won't make me shed a tear.
 
Weaver with aghs is going to be very interesting and potentially very OP, especially if teamed with something like a medusa. Imagine bashing down a medusas mana sheild then having it completely replenished by timelapse alogn with her health.

Sniper is far from a no skill hero, requires a lot of good positioning and item choice.

I disagree. Obviously some skill is involved but playing around 2.5 to 3k Mmr his positioning is simply a case of just standing back from the action. It's not anything special. Stand back, mom, shrapnel, spam spam stun stun, dead. Item choice is not remotely difficult on him.

And build... The same build works every game. Phase boots, mask of madness, sange and yasha then mjollinir. Pretty much the same build that works on almost every carry in the game.

Late game add mkb and some crit and it's game over. He can be countered but I don't believe he requires skill in the way you're implying.

Just because the people playing against him are bad, doesn't make him suddenly a no skill hero. You could argue the same with literally any hero in the game.

Agree.
 
Storm spirit and nyx destroy Sniper though many others out there, all you need is clever draft.

He can't hold up well against any sort of heavy nuke damage either, morphling shotgun, or tinker dagon etc.
