learning to play disruptor as a 2k shitter to have more variety for counterpicks.

I usually level up q and e first, rush mana boots then mek, then forcestaff then greaves and finally ags. Gameplay is fine so far, still need to work on that W skill, because i sometimes get confused like it's kunkka's x mark the spot and fuck it up sometimes, other than that my E and ult are pretty good, use it kinda like a blackhole.

My question is this: would it be viable to go manaboots then euls and forcestaff, so i can euls, then place a circle + ult.

It kinda reminds me of a lina combo, but idk if it'd be a viable combo because it'll kinda only be necessary when you find yourself in a 1v1 situation.

Any tips guys?

I've always wanted to be Tresdin's squire. I always enjoy fantasizing about entering a tent with her after a long battle and slowly removing her armor, starting at the helmet and making my way down to her boots. At that point she sits down on a stool and commands me to kneel down and remove them one at a time. "Squire, must you pitch another tent so soon?" she says to me. I try to cover it up out of embarrassment, but she kicks my hands away. "You haven't finished yet." I don't understand because I had already removed her armor, but after she gives me a look I realize that she wants me to remove her shoes as well. I take off her shoes and reveal her gorgeous feet, surprisingly soft despite her being a strong warrior, and extremely sweaty. "Lick the sweat off my feet, squire," she commands me. I happily endulge until my raging boner begins to hurt from pressing so hard against my trousers. "Alright, squire, stand up and remove your clothes." I do so while she does the same. Then, all of a sudden, I feel an inescapable desire to stand still. "FIGHT ME" she screams as she pushes me to the ground and gets on top of me. It's only now that I notice she's holding Aghanim's Scepter, and I understand that she won't stop until one of us cums. Her technique gets more and more intense until I am unable to hold back. I cum inside her pussy with the force of a hundred megacreeps. She gets off of me, and as I lay there quivering in pleasure she gets dressed and begins to chuckle. "Only 9 inches? Pathetic."

Jakiro is at his best in low skill games where both teams run around randomly until eventually grouping up and ramming into each other until someone's buildings fall over

He has spammable aoe damage and slows, kills towers well so you can get stuff done while your team fucks around, a spammable aoe stun that wins teamfights when people don't know how valuable cc is and your ult is actually a good spell sometimes because people stand in it
He's also bulky enough to give you a bit of a buffer on positioning and stop you from getting blown up when a fight starts, so you almost always get to do something.
legitimately the most fun I've ever had in this game was discovering jakiro when I had no real idea what I was doing and figuring the game out with him.
Give it a try. He's kind of boring on paper but his kit works well and feels good.

>>121423687
thanks bro i will try him for the first time now.

>Poison Attack duration from 2 to 4
>Poison Attack now deals 2 / 4 / 6 / 8 damage instantly, then ticks 3 more times for 75%, 50% and 25% of that.
>This damage is doubled for every 20% missing HP on the hero, up to 32/64/96/128 damage on the first tick (at level 4, deals maximum of 128 / 96 / 64 / 32 damage on each of the 4 ticks)
>Poison Attack slow now degrades over its duration smoothly, from 10/20/30/40% slow at start to 0% slow at end
>Subsequent poison attacks refresh the duration and reset the damage/slow to maximum.

Nethertoxin removed and replaced with Sidewinder

Fair enough. Most of the complaints people had over WoW apart from the usual problems inherent to MMOs were complaints that could be applied to WC3. WoW, Burning Crusade, and Wrath were basically WC4, tying up all the loose ends of WC3.

but MMO is precisely what the problem was
wc3 was the single most technically well constructed rts engine of all time and put together with gameplay as its sole concern. WoW was made as a casual game to slowly leech dollars out of the pockets of its users with a steady drip stream of content to try to hook people

WoW was when blizzard stopped caring about making games and started caring about maximizing profits

Function is D = (32*B)*e^(-0.0345*X), where D is the bonus damage, B is the base damage of 2.5/5/7.5/10 and X is the % HP on the target, from 20 to 100%. Damage is still halved vs creeps and towers

>WoW was when blizzard stopped caring about making games and started caring about maximizing profits

But that's wrong, WoW's team had most of the same people working on the non-technical side of things as WC3 did. The cost of the development cycle and of the dedicated servers required meant that not a whole lot of the money people spent on the game went into Blizzard's pockets. It wasn't until 2009 when most of the original team got reassigned to Project Titan that Blizzard's policy went downhill and they started using cheaper, lower capacity servers to cut costs, recycling content and plots to save on development, and making the game more accessible and more broadly appealing to try and pull in more subscriptions and more xpac dollars. The "Blizzard milked WoW from the start" argument is retarded and the people who believe this just use it as a way to legitimize why they didn't like it.

well i lost because our huskar randomed and didn't know how to play, and our pa never aimed sniper in fights

Did you guys already discuss the fact that Akke is a kek? What's the consensus?

>>121427685
With WoW the target audience changed and that was reflected in the game design anon. I don't like using this word but WoW was aimed at more "casual" audiences compared to previous games. I even remember TV ads for WoW in my country, the first time I saw a videogame being advertised on TV. With WoW and the success it had they started designing games for a more general audience. Over the years it got worse and worse until nowadays with turds like Hearthstone, Heroes or Overwatch. In my opinion that's turned Blizzard from the top PC dev to piece of crap.

>>121427707
You missed a few easy denies, walked up to the wave and took harass for no reason other than to give a 0 damage scream, werent pushing and didnt abuse creep equilibrium (especially as Qop), however you last hit well

He's not really in a good spot right now. He was good when his Liquid Fire dealt a tiny bit more damage and the meta favoured early pushing which he was great at. You can chip the shit out of towers and when you could 5 man down mid 10 minutes in he was great at slowsiegeing.

The only advice I could give if you want to keep playing is that he can FARM, seriously, this nigga is all about shitting out aoe nukes. If you're going back to base just throw your ult on a creepwave, try to stack the hard camp and farm it with your ult and dual breath. Euls means an absolutely guaranteed stun and your ult means youre the king of rosh. Veil is really good on him so picking him with lineups that generally have magic damage is also a good idea.

LoL has 30 million accounts registered. Smurfing is a major issue in LoL, along with people having inactive accounts. The active playerbase is about as big as DOTA's.

LOL

I main support and I'm laughing
See you on the way down

He's always been that. Its not like breaking high ground is some new concept that is more important this patch than previous ones. The real answer is aggressive offlanes are way more common and Slark gets destroyed vs them so yeah you're right about not being able to snowball.

Post hero you got 1st rampage with. I had a shit ton of int

>>121440690
reports from one game don't stack. Its one report however many people report you in a single game. You've been to lp before, thats why you got 5 games. You also got reported multiple times in previous games.

Have thousands of games, never been in lp due to being reported, only abandons.

If you're not totally shit at the game you won't get reported as much even if you flame everyone. But be bad and talk shit, yeah I can imagine why people would report you over and over.

bye.

What's the matter? Scared of a strong independent support mainer?

>>121440951
depends entirely on the mmr. if you don't have carries worth supporting it's better to just carry yourself. the problem typically isn't that people don't support, but instead that they don't know how to probably farm as a carry.

wait a second
is BSJ not even 5k?

mad you need 6 slots to have impact?
>l-look I killed a support while having only 20k more networth than him, h-he's such a beta r-right?

>>121441358
Sounds like you are. Don't worry junior, just stay in your lane and wait for the grownups to tell you when its safe to come out :^)
