    So, MYM DotA breaks up. Most of them were already playing with other teams, but it's still a shame.

    Also, eSuba vs Ks.int Pick League XI game.

    As you can see, H4nn1 is playing with Ks.int now, but my favourite part of this game is the Lucy madness. I was confused by it a little at first (even though he's a pretty decent counter for half of eSuba's heroes), and then he proceeds to farm 5k gold in the first 12 minutes. I was wondering what he would spend it on, and was not disappointed. Next time I get the chance to go on a Lucy wreckfest I'm going to try for that.

    Jesus that game wasn't even close.

    The way Sent played there was pub-grade, not league caliber.

    Well, Ks is basically the best team right now, and there was no godamn way eSuba was winning that. Seemed like they were just screwing around a bit (just look at the picks), but it was still an entertaining game.

    Was wondering what happened to you.

    New Veno is kind of fun. Having to aim his puke is a little different, but the rest goes well. I used to go ward veno all the time before, but I think I could have skipped them and gone straight for stats instead (I got 2 in ward and then dumped into stats), then used puke to farm, since it can kill now.

    Fun game, though. We should do it again sometime.

    Bloodstone I can easily have by 12 minutes,

    You must be playing EM. Or else you're playing 3v3s. If I get a 16-minute bloodstone on my Leshrac build I've already taken out two towers, 50ish creeps, and five heroes without dying once or wasting any gold on tangos. My benchmark for a well-played Leshrac is an 18-20 minute BS and boots. Getting anything less, especially by just last-hitting creeps, isn't going to happen.

    Even if you have, in one game, gotten BS by the 12 minute mark I guaran-fucking-tee you it is not something you do "easily". I don't think I've ever legitimately made that much gold on any hero ever in a non-em 5v5, not since pooling was eliminated.

    5050 gold in 12 minutes is preposterous.

    Its not preposterous. I'm really good at last hitting.

    I can get 2 gauntlets, boots, bottle, and radiance on leviathan by level 12 often. He's the only hero i've timed it and looked closely and he isn't as easy to last hit with as Razor is.

    I don't play anything other than high level team games or -rd in high level rooms. Never -em.

    Of course gold includes towers, heros, and occasional creeps. All heroes should creep sometimes enroute through the forest depending on the situation. Its just high efficiency.

    its pretty preposterous if youre playing against others with a similar level of skill in a not-ridiculous lane.

    There were two PA games, the first we had a pub and it was EM, the second was all in house, but ended up a little lopsided.


    edit: my thoughts on the games. I had never played BS before. Someone on my team looked up item builds and told me to get two bfuries. I got one and by that time I was wanting increased attack speed instead of damage because between bloodrage and my already high base damage, I wasn't having any trouble killing stuff. The enchantress was giving me fits with her healing and I shouldn't have kept going toe to toe with skeleton king. I think my skill choices were probably incorrect as well but it wasn't that detrimental in the early game. Overall I think our team did pretty well. I think our mvp was pitlord, the ports, roots and pushing he was able to do were the thing that tipped the balance, I think.

    second game: Wow! My team had a lot of pushing capabilities. We had broodmother and her baby spiders, enigma and his eidolons, omniknight and his heal, Crystal Maiden, while not awesome for pushing, allowed me (as Venomancer) to ward without end. In the early game I was getting pushed around by the bounty hunter until I started warding like crazy. I was worried about his invisible hit and shirukening me before I could get to a tower. I was planning on getting a lothar's edge but they had been putting down wards for broodmother and also had bounty hunter with track so I opted instead to build towards mjollnir. I think the big thing was that we got most of their towers down before they were able to get any of ours. We also held onto our towers for a long time and denied them gold by doing that. The towers let us roam the map a bit more freely and gave us an edge even just on vision. I like the new poison strike for veno. It is nice to be able to hit stealthed guys and also creeps. I think I used it once to push back a creep wave.

    edit: gonna watch the third replay now.

    edit: Wow that 3rd game was even more lopsided than the second. 2-20 when blue quit. I don't blame him.

    I watched my replay and while I wasn't following myself entirely, I saw no chain lightning triggers. I thought that if I had life steal and chain lightning, the chain lightning would override the life steal when triggering. I didn't see that happen, did they change this?

    What exactly does Orchid's activated ability do?

    Chain lightning = orb effect
    life steal = orb effect

    you can't have two orb effects period. The only time something overrides is if it is a spell that is a part of your character.

    The only item in the game that allows you to have lifesteal + another orb effect is Vladmir's Offering, which is considered an aura rather than an orb, but it's melee only.

    Also - it doesn't stack with deso.

    Orchid = silence and 20% ED

    Orchid silences, and prevents clickable items from activating for the time frame. it also amplifies all damage dealt to the receiver

    Chance on hit orb effects stack. I often get Sange&Yasha + Maelstrom. Whichever one is first in my inventory will have priority, meaning its effect will trigger if they both trigger at the same time.

    Omniknight replay. I've never played Omni before. Brown was complaining about me not healing, so I got the necronomicon to help get more mana. I ended up getting switched after a few quits and the team I switched to won. I think my first team didn't think much of me since I did so little early game. I think I should've gotten one level of degen aura to help with chases.
