Got to 2.9K last night. Getting super good at just controlling a single lane with Lich. Ward the large pull camp in the far corner they won't deward, run back to your own t3 and eat ranged creep, grab level 2 sacrifice at level 3 and GG lane won and enemy carry nerfed into oblivion. Only debate is item choices and when is a good early max ice armor game. Going to be sad when hero is garbage after next patch
As in solo offline Lich? If so, I'm 100% onboard with sacrificing your own ranged creep. Using sacrifice on the mid ranged creep makes a huge difference in that lane though and is usually a better contribution to lanes overall.
miles and I were playing this week and of course our Cyka gg's out and sits in fountain when we get behind early. Only to actually start trying again when he realizes we have a naga, medusa, and an elder titan and can pretty much defend forever. And our Naga is like half supporting/even though he claimed pos 5 at daft. Anyway miles and he and the PA are just constantly shit talking and blaming. Meanwhile I've had those other 3 muted since minute 12 and couldn't be happier. Except I randomed medusa and am complete trash with the hero. https://www.dotabuff.com/matches/3443849239
Yeah offlane solo with a roamer or jungler. The game we last won to get me to 2.9k, I actually did eat mid creep and went offlane since our clock could block creeps with cogs and win lane equilibrium to start.
PPD's stack looks like they're improving pretty fast. Complexity hadn't lost a match in this tournament and they just 2-0'd them.
That was only for one series I think. They were still losing to bad teams once they got zai back tbh.
Oh, thought they've 2-0d everyone else and split with DC and VG? Have they played other series outside of the Kings Cup?
I saw them lose a Kings cup game with Pajkatt as a carry doom because he doom'd a manta illusion and then died back before anyone else had even spawned. He's by far the weakest link
Think that was vs. DC. And yes, he's not very good. But they have a base, they'll be able to grab people in the future. PPD, Zai, and Misery is a great start for a team.
This was a fun game. Outfarmed a spectre on a Riki. Made jugg's ass quit too. Diffusal blade and smoke cloud just destroy him and morph and silencer https://www.dotabuff.com/matches/3450863336 Smoke cloud in general is soooo good especially vs melees
Also LC also Abaddon It took about 1,000 games but I finally learned the importance of ghost scepter on squishy supports so that's good
I had some sick Dazzle plays tonight. Enemy lineup was five blink dagger: Earthshaker Ursa Windranger Tiny Crystal Maiden Miserable to try and position effectively for. Just weave early, clench, and pray.
miles and I just had a p fun game. Our garbage slark would pounce on a guy and miles would throw his boat on the enemy as Kunkka and I'd disrupt the enemy so he didn't take any damage. Happened like 7 times. Also I did the same every time our necrophos threw his ult too. I'm p good at SD
Also involved our offlane PA telling our shitty slark that slark isn't played safelane because he doesn't scale how we won that game I'll never know
Am I crazy or shouldn't Dagon eblade be good on riki since you can just sit next to them and sneak up like nyx
It could do a lot of damage in theory, but if you have the kind of money to fork out for those items, you might as well just go skadi/butterfly since he does so much physical damage and it better synergizes with his ult
BrickTamland the wise sage told us we should have stopped after we stomped game 1... My bad guys, that was really shitty Sven play
Had a rampage in this game as support sky and didn't even realize it until I looked at the log. Thought it was someone else. https://www.dotabuff.com/matches/3455931643
3 of my teammates were in a queue and from the pick screen were speaking, what I assume to be filipino since it definitely wasn't english or spanish and my last teammate spoke spanish, so I decided to play dagon riki. https://www.dotabuff.com/matches/3455943052 Really fun, do not recommend if actually caring about the game lol.
The Dire kicking the new VG.J lineup's ass in the SL-I quals rn. They put Zai on a roaming BS. First item? fucking force staff. Love it
Finally started actually playing solo queue. Gone up 600 mmr in about a month. Get ready to welcome the newest member of the 2k shitter club
Also offlane puck is the new favorite hero. Unfortunately my team couldn't stop feeding. https://www.dotabuff.com/matches/3456944619
"Hard support" Jakiro who comes to my offlane at 8 minutes: "Hey puck, I didn't get to farm at all. Go somewhere and let me have this lane."
I just pay attention to the direction I'm facing. Don't have to worry about turn rate if youre not blinking backward.
