Bane makes it pretty easy. I would guess it wouldnt be too bad with shadow shaman or lion either.

Void is going to be in a weird spot. His new jump seems OP but the range is reaaaaaallly short, even at level 4. In the 30 seconds of playing around with him it seemed pretty impractical for initiating. Maybe blink is a new must-have on void?

Small centaur and small hellbear creeps also have a stacking magic resist aura. That nerfs sf even more, not to mention all the other mids that clear stacks with nukes

I think there was a transition from clone troopers (of Jango) in the Republican army to normal humans making up the majority of the storm trooper population in the Empire. I'm no expert on the lore either but I think there are tons of stories about imperial troops defecting to the rebel side...

If you have a spare hour or so and want to watch the unknown DC match 2 I'd recommend this vod:Twitch Game 2 starts at about 1:14 or so. If you can ignore EE's slobbering of the DC support it's worth it. Mason, ritsu, and some others gleefully watching DC implode makes for some good...

Here's the full match

Huh, didn't think of the mango. It's a good idea. I just blindly get a wand after treads on WK.

If you do give wraith king a whirl I highly recommend buying a wand or soul ring for that last-second burst of mana to make sure you can reincarnate. Don't be afraid to try a variety of items on him Another great starting melee hero is Juggernaut. A great lane bully, easy early kill potential...

Read somewhere silencer and bloodseeker were disabled for 10v10. Or at least the allstar match.

Fuck yeah

I'm surprised by the amount of aggressive trilanes and lack of bloodseeker

Yeah you have an MMR rank which is simply a number. Can range from 1 to infinity, although 8k is the absolute highest anyone has gotten at the moment. I think the mean is somewhere around 2.7k? Maybe lower? Whatever your MMR is, don't forget that the trench never ends. It's all awful. Single...

About the worst lineup to pick Huskar. That dude has a pretty infamous huskar actually. I saw this game on ppd's stream and it was hilarious. His build seems to be all about the sub-6 minute armlet and solo rosh. SR def knew what was up though.

Yeah I'm not sure when they took away predictions/charms from all the other game modes. I only play random draft and single draft and for a while you could use the original win prediction gem. The player pools for those modes don't feel all that small (rarely get the same players multiple games...
