IMMORTALS WHEN VOLVO PLS

yuyukos · « **Reply #362 on:** May 22, 2015, 04:25:37 AM »

RIP TI EU hub, now we get some giant hub for all regions qualifiers.

Raikaria · « **Reply #363 on:** May 27, 2015, 08:01:33 AM »

I finally managed the 'blink on 2 peopler and call and actually win' thing as Axe.

Now I got 'land 2 3/5+ arrows as Mirana'

I... guess I can play Mirana like a support and try this? I dunno. I don't play Mirana.

At least possibly the eassiest challenge for me showed up. '10 assists'. On the other hand I also have '8 kills'.

===

I just had one of my best moments in Dota.

I'm Venomancer with Veil+Ag's. They like to focus me. Anyway, the enemy is losing but it's far from over and their fed weaver buys a Rapier at some point without us knowing. As per usual; they try and kill me, but I just Veil+R+Q. Weaver gets hit by a lasso as well [Our Huskar had a gem he picked from their team; and our team knew I was the main target so Batrider hid and blinked in] and dies.

Then we find out he had a Rapier and our Batrider gets it.

Next teamfight they engage on Batrider and make the godawful mistake of running through both me and Batrider's fire. They do kill Batrider; but 4 of them die, and I pick up the Rapier.

And proceed to end the game regardless of them buying back; 1v1 the Weaver without even ultimg; melt their Bounty with my ulti [60 second cooldown] and slows; while getting Megas and ending the game solo because Rapier Veno is apparently legit.

Seriously. I love playing Veno right now. Veil's current uptime in absurd and it feels like a no-win for the enemy. They focus me? I've probobly Ulted and Veiled anyway and they just blew everything on a Veno [They were single-target RP'ing me!]. They ignore me? They get ulted anyway; Galed; and have to put up with Wards and Sting slows. I intentionally try to be the frontline as Venomancer so if they choose to ignore me they have top go through me. Also that's another bonus to Veil. +All stats and +Armor makes me noticeably more tanky; and then Ag's actually makes me respectably durable; especially with my agi gain. I'm not an outright tank with those 2 items but it's also no lightweight. I think I was rocking ~23 armor and ~2.1k HP with those two items and an Ulktimate Orb; and I wasn't lv 25 yet.

And it's not like it's hard for Venomancer to find farm even as a support. Assist gold; kill gold; just generally pushing waves with wards or jungleing with them... I ended up with more GPM than Broodmother... albeit she wasn't good. Also more CS than the Mirana I started out supporting. I think she just stopped farming midgame.

Also people really needs to stop trying to contest lv 1 runes with me standing there. They get Galed and die horribly.

tl;dr: I think Venomancer has cemented himself as one of my favorite heroes; next to CM; Rubick; Pheonix and Bane. Which is strange since Veno's main role is technically damage. Which I usually dislike. Also Rapier Venomancer is best Venomancer.

Got... Leshrac's staff. So Leshrac Staff, Huskar Hat. Probably won't get any Immortal I like.

Raikaria · « **Reply #368 on:** May 29, 2015, 07:25:34 AM »

I got Disruptor's back thingy.

Out of all the options there; that was the best for me.

Almost every hero getting immortals, even Leshrac.
And here I am still waiting for a Meepo Immortal. :V

I finally decided to play Tusk.

It went OK. And I was a solo with a 4 man party.

More importantly I didn't hate Tusk. Which I thought I would. And I only killed myself with Snowball once.

Welp, guess we ARE hitting the final stretch goal.

Raikaria · « **Reply #374 on:** June 05, 2015, 06:51:47 PM »

The fact that Faceless Rex is a courier is hilarious. Giff Voidless Face Courier volvo plz. If I by some miracle get it however I'd still probobly mostly use my good old Mammoth+Smeevil. Faceless Rex would be for the occasional change-up.

Or I'd sell it on the community market if the prices are high enough

Also at $1.99; or ?1.30 in Britland monies; I might even buy a couple of these. Especially given that I play most of the heroes in these sets [I can even play Medusa if I have to; I'm mostly hopeless as micro heroes. Just because I MAINLY support dosen't mean I hate carries.]

Of course what the big prize for me would be the Rubick set. I already have a Rubick set [It dropped as one!] but I'd be up for mixing and matching to make my Grand Magus' outfit much grander. And Rubick is literally my most played hero and one of the ones I enjoy playing the most. Of course now I said that Rubick's will be #11; forceing me to buy 11 boxes to get the one I want.

PX · « **Reply #375 on:** June 05, 2015, 07:38:46 PM »

Trade you Rubick set for Windrunner set :V

Raikaria · « **Reply #376 on:** June 05, 2015, 09:46:48 PM »

Sorry; I got Rubick before Windranger :V [Rubick was 4th box; after Skywrath; Spectre and DK. DK's up for trades if someone wants a DK set; I hardly play Dragon Knight.]

Also the tracked stat for DK is Godlike Sprees. Hilariously the Rubick tracked stat is Roshan Kills. Forever 0.

Spectre and Skywrath were nice pulls.

Decided to use the Staff and the Back of the Rubick set. I think the hat's alright but it clashes and looks hideous with my body equip [Cloak of Zeal; the hat clips right through it]; and I think the body equip is hideous in it's own right. Basically: YAY LIT CANDLES. [These are totally not a fire hazard]

Why is Techies always in my game? On my team. Proceeding to do nothing but get some random cheese kills and then blameing the team when they lose an effective 4v5 because Techies dosen't do jack in an actual fight; but they're obviously doing good because some random dude stepped on their random mines in a position where the team can't do anything to capitalise on it; especially with short early death timers.

It's not even the fact they're useless which makes me angry. It's the fact a lot of them act bigheaded because they have kills and blame the team. I mean, if I'm Witch Doctor and Ulting as my cask bounces between two of them, I don't want Techies Eulsing one of the guys getting bounced on; letting the other become unstunned and flee; just so he can KS with an ultibomb. And then blameing me for the other guy escapeing.

I'm not sure what's getting me more salty; Techies themselves or the Techies players.

Also gotta love when they pick Techies into Zeus.

The fact I'm currently on a 6 game losing streak where 3 of which had allied Techies isn't helping. [The others were things like I play ET get forced mid and somehow win lane against a Storm as ET and have the highest GPM on my team as ET and we still lose; or 'I try to make a play and my allies stands there drooling and I die' support moments.]

I'm at least halfway sure that HL3 will never actually be developed if only to keep the joke alive that it will never actually be announced.

Pretty cool, checked out the stats for everyone. Infinity has the highest average ability out of everyone, followed by Dormio. Everyone else is pretty average in everything.

All my stats suck, but I have the highest stat for fighting other heroes out of everyone.

Custom games are unbelievably easy to find, install, and play now. I would suggest Legend of Dota or Dota Imba sometime, probably super easy to get a game going.

Bardiche · « **Reply #389 on:** June 25, 2015, 03:00:43 PM »

So are those Immortal III treasures ever going to be released?
