I don't suppose someone has a free invite they can send out? 30$ for early access seems a bit high.

Still need to lane him. With the stun on charge though he'd probably do well in an agressive trilane. This change definitely makes a huge difference since it's basically a guaranteed disable(kinda need a setup though so people don't run away as you're picking up speed). But yeah the change from a few patches ago to make his bash go through bkb should make him fairly nice, maybe, we'll see. Probably gonna see a bunch of centaur too, even after the nerf, a global haste is not something you can ignore easily.

In full team games, tryhard is a compliment. In pubs it's a valid insult. If you're picking absurd lane combos against disorganized opposition you're sucking a lot of fun out of what is originally a non-serious game just to increase your chances of winning. It's absolutely okay to do so, but it's also okay to curse at people who do so.
It's like old school camping in FPS pubs. You may have a higher chance of winning because no one can be bothered to wait you out or check every spot meticulously before moving forward, but it still makes the game less fun for everyone else involved.
People didn't like campers even when they were on their team. People don't like people who trilane SD/Lina/Lifestealer against random CK/Necrolyte lanes.

Try hard as an insult for picks is alright imo, mostly if you queue as a group THEN pick "tryhard" lanes and shit. That said I don't think it's a big deal, shitty players on good heroes are still shitty players and some good combos aren't quite as easy to play as they look(like most wisp combos in pubs). But yeah it used to suck early beta when I'd get queued against kev- stack and they'd all pick like it was the fucking international. Luckily when more people joined I dropped far enough that I didn't group against known stacks as much and since they recently added solo queue I don't care anymore.
Once the game has started though, if you're not trying hard to win, you should stop playing. That includes using any and all advantages in the game. People who cry when you deward them are hilarious, cause sentries are free and shit. The whole thing is dumb as shit because I wouldn't need to deward if people weren't warding. If you wanna complain about tryhards, you need to not try at all, and not buying wards is the first step ^^.

Motherfucker I tuned on the A vs Navi game right to see the score. God damnit I wish I saw that game. Guess I have to purchase a ticket now.

The Starladder game ? Yeah, someone finally out-executed Alliance. When Navi turns it on, it's joy to watch. Should be here in a few hours:http://www.youtube.com/user/joinDOTA/videos

Seems they're starting the test server a bit early this week because of parity changes. Looking at the forum, about half the changes aren't working. A lot of them seem to be tooltip related though, like they forgot to update any tooltip of the stuff that was changed.
On the differences, apparently centaur still not in -cm, nor is elder titan. They also made Mirana's arrow even less visible.
Sadly because of the size of the patch I doubt we'll see new heroes this week either. Kinda sucks.
