Dota 2

I'm playing uni heroes with multiple Crests, feels good, nothing broken for now.

The new shaders and lighting effects look great especially at night. I'm also looking forward to getting rid of the toxic players and smurfs. It's definitely a change in the right direction.

From KZ vs ITB G1

I can’t equip the custom effect

Topson going mid Bane and building into Manta has inspired people. People are doing it in pubs but they don't understand that they're not Topson.

If you see someone do this, just pick shaker (or anyone with a blink/stun) and ruin their fun. Or share the sleep love around to so enfeeble isn't on the same target.

For context, Bulldog came across Waga's smurf on a game and Waga absolutely smashed him and his team. Bulldog then reported him for smurfing.

Example: pos 5 for me is Chen and oracle, pos 4 is techies and earth spirit, pos 3 is beast master and earth spirit. Highly recommend also actually playing your role so the games aren’t miserable for you and others. If 2 is too many choices just choose 1 per role.

BB Dacha is the only larger pro event between now and TI qualifiers.

Current lineup for BB Dacha in 3 weeks:

Team Spirit, Gaimin Gladiators, BetBoom Team, 9Pandas, Team Aster, beastcoast, Nigma Galaxy, +1 TBD

(Ranked Immortal only stats, not overall, since I think good players are more representative of actual game balance)

Context: Team Spirit won TI10 largely upon Collapse's performance on Magnus, leading to Horn Toss being nerfed to just be a slow instead of a stun.

Explanation: Bristle already had a stacking damage amplification ability in Quill Spray, but now he also got a fast burst ability like Ursa's Enrage, only ranged and in an AOE.

In case you haven't heard, the Dota 2 Arcade is going kinda nuclear due to Valve demanding everyone stop monetization. There's a lot of why-what-who going on surrounding it so they made this video as an explanation of what's going on.
