Some dude named "escienprobablequeyoseaorias" keeps joining the same game as me and abandoning within 10 seconds of game start. I tried google translate, but it's giving me jibberish when I attempt to place spaces (where I assume they would go).

The game they mentionned was Navi vs TL in WePlay tournament, 2nd match I believe. The EG vs Navi that was just played was a pretty solid series too, but less crazy picks.

Most banned is wisp, probably going to be the case. Most picked I went for rubick, first couple of games not helping but still have good hopes. Other picks I think would be kotl and naix.

Either way this discussion is largely subjective with too many variables and what ifs. The point is Silencer wins 69.87 percent of his games with Orchid. Thats a good clip and shows its truly a game changer for not only him but his whole team. Being able to Orchid instead of burning a global is huuuuuuge.

Correlation does not equal causation. It is not that Orchid is such a massive game changer, it's that Silencer farms slowly and is extremely prone to ganks while farming, so any game in which he can farm up a 4125 gold luxury DPS item is more than likely a game that he is already winning.

It's apparent if you look at his other common endgame items: Rod of Atos (71% win rate), Scythe (81% win rate), Shiva's Guard (83% win rate) and Boots of Travel (86% win rate). Heck, even having a Mystic Staff at the end of the game correlates to a 77% win rate.

Valve needs to get their shit together. Cannot even watch these guys in Dota 2 because it keeps timing out due to so many people watching it.

Yeah, I guess thats true. You do have to make sure you get good last hit numbers with him or you will lag behind. You also need TP scrolls to port into other lane fights to steal dat int. If you dont have at least 5-6 kills and some int steal from small team fights and ganks chances are you arent going to have a good game. Silencer can amass gold via hero kills early to mid game if played aggressively.

m thinking of practicing with a force staff. I played with an invoker and that kid was a fucking boss with that shit. He got me out of being killed twice and also forced me into a fleeing enemy who I got the kill on. I just suck with using actives on items so I doubt its going to be effective in my hands any time soon.

Put some of your items on hotkeys. I have 4 items on hotkey. Doubt I could have more than 4 and be effective. Usually blink/force/mek/sheep stick are on my priority keys that I have the most practice with.
