DP is gonna get nerfed next patch. Her leech is totally broken. You can stroll in and kill people so early. The amount of fights where you expect her to die, only to see her flee unscathed is insane.

Aye at one point I got charged by SB and a Morph and SS dived me as well. I managed to get ult up and activated leech before SB charge hit and by the time I was out of charge stun SB was dead, SS had ran and Morph had turned tail and I finished him with a crypt swarm. Pre patch in that instance DP was done for.

Nah, DP has always been this good. I actually preferred her 6.86.

I played 60+ games with her prepatch, she's always been a solid mid hero with a low skill cap.

With the old Witchcraft, if you bought just Euls and BoTs you ended up with permanant 502 movement speed, which is almost haste rune speed. She was pretty much invincible because you can outrun everyone, AoE silence and Euls yourself as a last resort.

The leech is nice, but she's less mobile overall and the cooldown is longer on her spells.
 
Oh my god I have no idea how I carried so hard. We was getting crapped on so hard early pa and blood got fat they were warding the f out of lane so it was hard for me to farm, I RUSHED an mkb after defusal.
Using riki ult in a teamfight with mkb lol = insta death on pa and crystal maiden, after that mkb the game turned around hard, somehow I got 2 rampages.

Literally the whole second half of the game I was just like :eek::eek::eek::eek: haha.

Never played such a counter stomp in my life, overconfidence throws games.

i know thats post game, but no wards, gem or dust on any of the enemy when they have a riki going postal.

PA went BF farm build and no BKB is simply lol
 
Wow, how Riki can snowball against that team is beyond me. They were either a bit simple or had no experience of their class.

The CM itemisation :p:D
 
Yeah the item choices are definitely questionable, they did have dust/gem/wards which made early game horrible however by the time it hit 24 mins I had managed to get a diffusal and mkb and thats when the game turned around.

I did not run around assuming they could not see me so didn't get ganked by them, I was playing carefully, even though my friends are completely new to the game they did the best they could in dewarding which made all the difference.

It just got to the point were I could 2 shot PA lol.

I would also agree that they were a bit simple and overconfident lol, they started the game trolling and calling my riki pick out in all chat :D, even said GG when they took our first set of racks.

She had those items at 22/24 mins :D:D after which she could no longer afford anything as she was dead 99% of the time lmao. We did get 2 gems off them.

lucky for you the slardar must have failed hard

People think Slardar is good vs Riki. In my experience, at 2.5k he never does.

Ive always destroyed Slardar when I'm Riki. Just sneak up, silence, diffusal, stab stab stab.
 
Had a great game just before, really restored my faith in dota. I was having connection issues at start, they waited none dramas, they had similar issues mid game and we returned the favour. No smack talk, no crying, both teams were polite and on us winning (after a brutal 90mins) both teams stayed in chat, talking to each other saying how good a game it was and sharing our commends. Was a mixture of Germans and Dutch and they were spot on.

Surprised we won mind. We had Rub (me) LC, Bristle, Elder and Techies against Sniper, Husk, DP, Pudge and support Silencer. They were a little unbalanced but had a huge early lead but we played right as a team and ultimately won a huge team fight the first time I managed to steal DP's ulti (he was great at quick casting after ulti to stop the steal) huge mega creep 5v5 double DP ult stomp fest that we won and then took the ancient. Good stuff!
 
time for a rant, just encountered the 2 most incompetent supports ever. It looked like we had a better lineup than the opponents, seeing as we actually had 2 people willing to pick supports.
Omniknight proceeds to buy 0 wards and rushes radiance followed by a bkb and a blink...
Treant decides he wants a mask of madness as his first item, and then follows up with an assault curiass.
Neither of them seemed to know how their abilities worked either. we should have walked all over teamfights, but the lack of ulti from either support made it quite difficult...
 
Got to love carry support :p

Game stresses me too much so I'm mainly playing TW titles and when I play dota just running my second play through of all hero, helps me improve without the added stress of people ballsing up ranked.
 
Given the choice I will pick a support, at least I know I will be carrying dust and wards for the team.

I'm trying to do my all hero challenge atm, but I got stuck with Meepo... I'm quite tempted to spam all pick in the hope that I may come up against a team that's so bad I can't possibly lose.

I'm not very good with micro heroes :D
