    Anyone want to play a game? I am so very lonely!

    Also, just tried a first game as Storm Spirit against bots. He seems an absolute blast, just... god damn it valve.

    I can't tell if I'm getting better or if I keep getting matched against comparatively bad opponents, which is really frustrating.

    It's also really frustrating that people never seem to work as a team. I was in a game as Jakiro and my team forced me to lane against a Drow... spoiler, Drow right clicks THD and he dies, the end. I was also in a game with 3 INT heroes on my team, while I and the other guy were soloing lanes as Razor and Pudge and we didn't have a courier or wards the entire game.

    I don't understand people.

    22 games under my belt and only 9 heroes played.

    They need to start adding people I enjoy.

    If they add her and I can't play I will probably die.

    I should probably play some different characters so I know what more than 1% of them do but I do not want to not play Windrunner.

    I am perpetually surprised when teams don't ban or first-pick AM. It never ends well when anyone lets AM get picked against them.

    Cool, thanks.

    Also, did you disappear off Steam or something? I was going to get you something off your wishlist since you were generous enough to give me a Dota2 key, but I don't see you on my friends list anymore.

    You're not my friend so I took you off my friends list after I gave you the key.

    It's a semantics thing.

    this game is hilarious.

    Grand final is apparently in 15 minutes, not at 21:00 CET as originally announced. According to the streamers, anyway.

  • FightTestFightTest Registered User regular
    $10, pay up, suckers.

    Also it seems to me (as a highly qualified complete newb) that manta images having mana burn is what really makes AM kind of broken. He's good in every area to begin with and then on top of it just watching the NS port in to get shackled and then drained to 0 mana by two images before shackle wore off was pretty fucked up.

    Mana burn in general is pretty fucked up.

    There's a lot of things that make AM really really good.

    Reduced BAT is the really obnoxious part. Best BAT in the game barring Alch during level 3 ultimate, for no reason.

    BAT?

  • Page-Page- Registered User regular
    There's some reason. He's traditionally on the cusp of being fucking awful, so the buffs have been stacking up and now he finally gets some play. I prefer him to most alternatives.

    Seems like you guys need someone who can take out Antimage

    Throw a beta key my way and I'll flounder miserably against him for the entire duration of the match

    BAT?
    Base attack time. The formula for attack speed is (1+IAS)/BAT. Most heroes have BAT of 1.7, AM has 1.35 BAT. It means he gets way more attack speed from the same amount of agility, IAS, etc.

    I think he's a lot like Pudge - i.e: super underrated, gets gradually buffed, suddenly he's a good hero (in AM's case, among the most broken heroes).
