I play a lot of CK. Played some games and found that maelstrom is the farming item of choice for him. It's especially good now since illusions benefit from the attack speed.
Feel free to ask me CK related questions.

>>163464173
Early midas can be good if you can get it quick, especially if you see the game going late. Generally get attack speed items that help you do damage with your illusions.
For skills, Rift is worse at level 1 and better at level 4 since the latest patch. So get 1 point in stun, then max rift, putting points into crit and ult as you see fit.
Aghs is good if you have a teammate whose illusions would do a lot of work, like a terrorblade or something like that.

>>163463908
Literally everything your bitching about isn't objectively bad, you just don't like it because it's new/different and it doesn't accommodate to your playstyle.

The point of this patch is to make the game much more fluid and seemingly quicker, instead of there being " big " " points/instances " of the game ( getting X item, pushing X tower, ganking X person/lane ) it is all strung together. This makes the game feel super fluid and less grindy.

>Ganking play styles trump everything else

Wow dude, that's so horrible. Instead of sitting in a late and clicking on creeps, the game forces you to do something. Farming is also totally viable it's just a bit more difficult now, Anti-Mage is still requires 30:00 of farm in 7.01 and he's fucking kick ass. Stop bitching because you haven't figured out how to play yet.

>buying an early midas means you lose because the enemy team will snowball and roll you over and end the game by 20 minutes

Are you fucking retarded? Midas is a good item it's just circumstantial and depends on what hero you're playing. It's even better this patch because of talents.


>meme teamfights and run-at-your-face-as-five dota is constantly pushed as an agenda by that enslaved icefrog faggot so games are "entertaining

How are 5 man team fights memes? How is people working together bad? Like I honestly don't understand what your issue is. It's different but it's not worse

The only thing I agree with you on is Pudge solo killing anyone, that shit's fucking ridiculous.

>>163464281
Not sure how is it in us, since i guess youre from there, but in europe, at least in my country, if you switch uni's you need to leave the first one, get the transcript of your grades/points from the previous one to file that in at signing in at the other uni, along with some other birocratic papers and thats pretty much it, doesnt matter if you left the first uni with all stuff failed or passed or whatever

lol.

>>163464001
This is what I have been saying a few times lately. One of the major turnoffs for any form of damage item for CK was that the illus do not get damage from Battlefury or attack speed from Maelstrom.

But now that he has both lifesteal and his illus get attack speed, he can get a quick maelstrom and farm faster than before, and not have to go to base due to crit lifesteal. This is a good thing for CK, but it will take a while for this to take effect in most peoples build.

Moon Shard, Butterfly, Mjollnir are now also even more viable than before on Chaos Knight.

>>163464789

>Are you fucking retarded? Midas is a good item it's just circumstantial and depends on what hero you're playing. It's even better this patch because of talents.
Did you read what I said after that? It's not that midas is bad. It's the fact that if you don't build memefight items like shitquila or drums or HOTD you won't be able to stand up to the retards running at your face every single game. BECAUSE YOU HAVE TO FIGHT ALL THE TIME

>How are 5 man team fights memes? How is people working together bad? Like I honestly don't understand what your issue is. It's different but it's not worse
It doesn't take fucking skill to 5 man every hero you see. It should cost you a bunch of resources but because of the shrines, you can literally tp behind anyone thats trying to rat so if you 5 man, you win every time. The enemy team literally has no counter to that anymore.

>game receives the biggest update so far
>csgo who only gets money grabbing case updates suppresses player numbers

>>163465283
I mean listen, you have to understand that CSGO is the most popular First Person Shooter in the world, this is important news for the future of the shooter genre, allowing them to become larger in terms of population of people playing the game in certain countries that have not yet been trendset in the mindset of the players playing the game, allowing them to gain a large amount of popularity within several cultures, which in turn can grant several benefits for the playerbase of the game in general. However, if the playerbase is not shown the way certain rural areas in certain countries play the game, they will not be growing in spurts of players, disallowing them from the growth they would ordinarilly be allowed to have due to such spurts of firing. The Coconut People, play in Spurts, if you know the advertisement, you can join in too

>>163465372
I understand your viewpoint about Midas, team fight items are bit more viable now. But boo fucking hoo dude, one item in the game got kind of nerfed due to a change in the meta. It's still a good item on some heroes eg. invoker Like that's such nit picky bullshit.

" People who work together better fucking suck, why should they be able to work together and succeed because of it? " " I'm a giant fucking autist and want to solo play everything. "

I agree with that you're braindead if you don't see that the balance between the viable strats is shit. You are forced to play one way and that's constant 5 man ganking

>>163468561
Doom is a fundamentally broken spell. Add to that he's a fairly good hero and can jungle very effectively and any buffs to him would result in pub spams and 100% pick/ban in pro matches.

>>163468561
There is no problem with buffing him since there is not only linkens but also lotus and shit like AM scepter.
This hero is walking bad ult on huge cd, one of worst heroes in game right now

>>163467862

you clearly haven't played him in 7.00

>>163468719
So what if the Doom ability was just harder to get use out of so Doom actually needs items and/or setup for it? Like it always has the permadoom effect but a very low base duration, forcing Doom to focus on mobility and survivability.

Do the retards that keep bashing dota's constantly updating meta even comprehend their own arguments?
Have they never seen TI2 or ANY league of babbies esports match?
Both of which were boring farmfests that almost always had an anti-climactic ending. I bet they couldn't even name a single fucking TI2 match or any of it's results because it was always waternigger versus animage versus arsenal magus.
Yes, to a large degree I agree that farming should be buffed to give harder carries (like spectre/medusa/troll) the time of day, since those type of carries are shit in a competitive setting at this point, but the meta now is most certainly not the reason for the proclaimed "dota is dying" rant that these retards always seem to bait with.

hey guys i just wanted to say that i finally got 4k mmr

this has been my goal for about a year, now aiming 5k mmr

thanks for listening

>>163469029
You don't have a brain though, you're a retard actually defending the idea of fighting creeps for 30 minutes is fun to play or watch. Dota 2 changes, and when you're down bitching about how you can't rice all day anymore you'll come back like a good bitch.

>>163467673
>tfw too intelligent to play riki
I do agree with you though. Why bother learning chen, lone druid, wisp or any "complex" hero? Why bother learning how to properly micro, learn and achieve proper item and push timings, etc, when I could just pick PA and press Q+W on enemy heroes until they die?

I really despise those heroes that take completely asymmetrical amounts of skill to play and counter. Any retard can play PA or Slark to 95% effectiveness, but it requires specific heroes,items and teamplay with specific timings to counter them. At least if Chen comes to take your tower at 5 minutes, you know he practiced his micro or jungle/rotation timings.

>>163469186
As opposed to autistically farming creeps, never being there to help your team, looking at the minimap and wards, and escaping whenever you see someone looking for you?

Last hitting isn't a "PvE" exercise. You're laning against someone. There is a subtle balance of harass/deny/gank safety to be considered.

Anyone else kind of salty by how much effort they put into monkey kings voice lines? He has a voice line for killing like every fucking character YET NO ONE HAS ANY LINES FOR KILLING HIM!? FUCK THIS GAME MAN.

Same with how arcanas and shit are chosen. A support hero is NEVER EVER going to get a arcana. Look at crystal maidens arcana. Very few bought it. Lina arcana and shadow fiend arcana out sold maidens by a fuck ton.

People were getting upset when it looked like IO would get one and then jugg gets one(on top of his million and one skins) and no one gets pissy at all.

We need more voice lines and skins for characters who have none. FUCK YOU VALVE!

Is there really no hero in the game that shit talks monkey king?

based kyle fucking up EG

>>163475004
maybe its because most of the voice lines for the heroes were recorded before they even thought about making monkey king???

Haha EG is fucking salty. They're unlikable holyshit. Even fear is an asshole. They deserved those loses against COL. Looks we were supposed to enjoy those losses as much as we did lmao.

let's try another question then.

how do I stop raging if my team is shit and we are losing?

>>163475004
Are you fucking braindead? They don't have voicelines for killing MK because valve needs to recontact their VA's so they can record their lines accordingly. MK's VA is already there and ready to do all the work at once so it makes sense for them to give him voice lines for literally everything.

mute your chat
focus on your gameplay

>>163475194

I understand that but they should have at least made lines for certain characters WHEN THEY KILL HIM.

Like the spirits played a large role in monkey kings lore apparently. Why do they have no lines when they kill him? Hell, they could have cut half of monkey kings lines. Like monkey king shit talks tinker for what reason? They aren't even rivals.

>giving valve money after no content for like 8 months

Lmao EG is a joke.
We could get a full drama series from them

>>163475317
Are you some retard? They probably will make lines for him once they get the VAs back in to do more work. Valve is probably waiting for more lines that can be done before contracting them again because it would be a waste of time and money to hire them only to say 4 lines and leave.

Honest to god, take the last 5 games you played, think long and hard about the most important thing that was said in chat, and then determine whether you need to use chat or not.

Once you've found out that you've never said anything useful in chat in 6 games, or that you usually say things literally everyone in the entire game are aware of in a demeaning manner, you take the next step.

MUTE YOURSELF. REMOVE THE GOD DAMN ENTER KEY FROM YOUR FUCKING KEYBIND. THE INSTANT SOMEONE ON YOUR TEAM SAYS SOMETHING, YOU FUCKING MUTE THEM. YOU CAN STILL SEE PINGS, CHATWHEEL MESSAGES, IT DOES NOT MATTER. CHAT IS WORTHLESS. CHAT IS JUST A PLACE FOR ANGRY PEOPLE TO YELL AT EACH OTHER. ESPECIALLY ALL CHAT. WHY THE FUCK DOES ALL CHAT EXIST? WHY WOULD TRASHTALK EVEN EXIST IN A GAME LIKE DOTA? CHAT IS GARBAGE, FUCK CHAT.
