It wasn't me, it was some 7.3k MMR game I just saw.

Like I said before, even if the Ember can survived that fight the clash already ended because Double Global Silence literally fuck up his teammates and in the next fight he must fight them with no BKB charge.

>>163654119
just because they had 7.3k mmr didn't mean they were itemizing correctly

if embers allies die and he's left to defend 1v5 hes going to lose no matter what build he went, but thats not embers fault

The shit literally got balance fight the whole game, but shit when downhill once silencer got refresher.

Ember build was Travel, Veil, octa, BKB, Ethereal and dagon.

Ember team also got Rubick with eul who manage stole the global couple tims, but the RO already fuck them up hard when its online, what do you want from low farmed rubick? farmmanta and BKB too?
The supports from two team was so underfarmed, even silencer only got Treads whole 40 minutes and then Suprise RO at minutes 40.

It was ended in 48 minutes.


The only fault here is he relied on his AoE and magic damage so much it makes his right click and SoF is literally useless against Silencer with only 1k HP.

you'll have no farm and won't be able to do shit until you hit level 9
it got gutted by nerfs since 2012

Should I even bother learning chen or earth spirit?

I want to be good at this game but I feel like my skill has plateaud a shit ton.

For example, I love playing lich and shadow shaman but those heroes you can only do so much with. Its not hard to click a chain frost when they clump. or click a hex on a guy.

However, I feel like you would have many more options with like chen or earth spirit.

Is it worth learning them though? I am most interested in chen but creep master build seems ineffective.

>>163654640
>eblade
>dagon
see thats the problem

he wasted like 12000 gold on items that don't do shit for him and left himself vulnerable to silencers double ults instead of buying more survivability items or damage items

thats the difference between metaforging optimal unorthodox builds (veil->octarine) and pure memeshitting (eblade->dagon)

Merry Christmas! and y'all niggers best remember to stay hydrated!

>>163655096
wukong is countered by picking heroes he can't kill in the first 10 minutes
undying is food for MK and can't do jack shit against his passive. MK kills heroes who can't escape him walking them down with 4 right clicks. His lifesteal will heal back anything he takes from DoT or slow buildup heroes like undying

if you want to counter MK, pick antimage and dual lane with a support with an escape he can't bumrush. AM can just blink away at 3 charges, drain all mks mana, if mk tries leaping around trees you can blink and instantly chop with QB. Just don't try a support like warlock he can walk to death, get someone like queen of pain or lion or mirana or whatever

>>163655015

Holy fuck you literally ignores my whole post, I said there was a balance fight a whole game.
Ember literally own that game, that's why he got six slotted first.
Silencer barely a problem to them until the last 8 minutes, the RO was hidden in the courier.

The ember team even already got their first mid rax in minutes 35.

but thats literally the point

ember did fine when he was building good items like travels veil octarine. Then he threw his advantage by building meme dagon eblade instead of getting items to cover his vulnerability to silencer, so silencer whips out RFO and kills ember game over. Ember could have literally won that game by SELLING his dagon/eblade for half price after buying them and getting an euls in that slot, what does that say?

You can lose games 40 minutes in because you bought retarded shit while winning early game

its not that broken lategame, but it puts you as the highest dps dealer in the game for the first 20 minutes, which is pretty strong and pretty much guarantees the enemies wont have towers for very long.

That's what I said in previous thread, a Caster Ember got dumpstered by Silencer.

If only he goes traditional ember with his BKB he still can fight them with right clicks.

Dotards???

>>163656117
>its not that broken lategame, but it puts you as the highest dps dealer in the game for the first 20 minutes,
no it doesn't

all clinkz's skills combined is just +115 damage +130 attack speed, which is nice but theres plenty of heroes with higher damage outputs, clinkz doesn't even have magic nukes to complement it. An invoker using just alacrity, meatball and forged spirits is going to shit out more damage per second

you want to look at a highest dps dealer in the game look at heroes like huskar with his +160 damage +340% aspd and 35% hp nukes or ursa or meepo or whatever

lone druid right clicking during battle cry has more dps than clinkz

They made early game stronger, but made early game Rosh weaker, and never improve creeps beyond rebalancing their gold or something. They need to buff EVERYTHING, to make them competitive with heroes instead of being just being able to be blown on and then die.

I don't get it, are you saying the Ember is retarded for not going full damage item who might still can win against Silencer team, or you actually agreed with the ember who goes with meme build Veil>octa and got dumped because of this build?

I just came from midnight mass. How y'all doing?

>>163657098
veil and octarine are fine
dagon and eblade are not

you can build good items early game and start winning because you went a good caster ember build early/midgame and then lose lategame because you kept memeing it up with caster items that don't do anything for your hero instead of transitioning to endgame ember.

veil of discord is just a better drums in the ember buildup, giving you the midgame fighting and farming you need. Octarine is a great item in an SoF spam endgame 6 slots. Travels too. The only thing 'caster ember' invests is half the gold cost of a veil of discord early game, otherwise you're building towards the same endgame items of battle furies, daedalus, bkb, manta, linkens, whatever

the builds aren't mutually exclusive, you could build items like:
>travels
>veil
>octarine
>bkb
>bfury
>bfury
>daedalus (replacing veil)
and still be in position to replace an item with euls or manta if you see silencer going RFO

Get rid of the jungle shrines. They should only be there for the offlane, who is expected to get dumpstered in lane. If the mid gets dumpstered then they should have to walk all the way to the offlane shrine, which still takes a while to walk to and back.

Which one is that?

And also, that Fallen Cloak set for bonefletcher is way better than that overdesigned shit you posted.
That set isn't even old, it's one year old at best, and by that point, Valvo had already stopped giving a shit about the game's Hero lore and legacy.

It's safer on average compared to car accidents, but that's only statistically, which also includes dtunk mongoloids who drive themselvs to death after parties on the freeway, so for people who are actually responsible drivers, car is safer as you have direct impact on the safety and can even diminish or avoid collision if you drive correctly, whereas if a plane crashes you're just fucked, completely fucked, i heard the oxygen mask actually releases a drug to calm you down lmao

I'm back on a hell of a winstreak.

>>163668062
Nope. A good carry could carry the game all by himself even if supports were noobs. Now carry is made to be totally reliant on others doing their job well

Treant is a broken piece of shit and I feel guilty when I get stupid ez kills on the enemy offlane even when I'm being greedy

>buy midas
>get gpm talent
>lmao over 500gpm for standing around with my thumb in my ass

>>163668436
Hm! I am no cuck! I will find another way! I will not give up, EVEN GIVEN the circumstances!

>>163668478
And this is a bad thing?

For the first time in a fucking eternity, even shitters are forming teams where at least a few of the picks aren't carries. Half of the memefighting is simply because more people are playing heroes that are actually useful early game.

If you want to idle farm every game, literally go back to league.

>>163668598
this. I'm actually surprised that my fellow shitters at 2k cooperate and use the shrine together instead of using it alone.

>>163668478
How are carries more reliant again? This patch didn't change anything.

>>163668598
Who said anything about this being a bad thing? If supports are amazing then great. No need to get so upset and start being rude

>>163668479

Sure but Treant literally absorbs mountains of farm to do literally nothing with it. He's the tinker of supports at the moment.

You get 10 minutes to pound jungler boipussy and then they get to use your boipussy for the rest of the game.

>>163668745
Of course it did. If you don't play carry maybe you won't notice

As i said, xpm talents, as well as early memefighting makes sure that supports will always get level 20 minimum in a game
Aggressive warding will allow supports to go into your jungle and steal the bounties too so now they will always afford glimmer and forcestaff
NOT EVEN MENTIONING RESPAWN TALENT -40s DEATH LOL YOU KILLED A SUPPORT FIRST THEN DRAGGED THE FIGHT OUT NOW I TP TO SHRINE AND GRAVE WHOEVER'S ALIVE
>>163669141
*no*, memeback is still in effect slightly, and with damage/attack speed talents mid/late game carries can actually have bigger potentials for fights

you dont need supports to spam heat seeking missiles then popping ggboots soulring and rearming

>>163669617

And then lose the game to a "support" with a blink and half your net worth

You have to play 100% flawlessly or lose. Your team has to not slip up or the enemy team rolls over your long range march spam. The enemy team also can't have blademails or you lose. The enemy also can't have big healers like Jug ward, Voodoo Restoration, etc. or you lose.

Why the fuck don't you just play Meepo, Nature's Prophet, or Arc Warden who are all better at being carries, pushers, or magical burst than Tinker?

>shrines that allow constant ganks
>towers falling too fast

>carries can't carry against teams that run at them
>ganking playstyles trump all the others especially carrying and only memepushing comes second
>support pudges hooking heroes 3 times his networth and solo killing them
>brain dead heroes like slark, PA, huskar, sniper, drow and pudge are stronger than heroes that require skill to play such as visage and chen
>buying an early midas means you lose because the enemy team will snowball and roll you over and end the game by 20 minutes because you didn't buy instant memefighting items like drums or HOTD or sny or SHIT
>all carry players including rtz(lmao even this nigger) have been in pain since 6.81
>meme teamfights and run-at-face-as-five dota is constantly pushed as an agenda by that enslaved icefrog faggot so games are "entertaining"
>If you ganked a lane as 5 in the previous patches before 6.82, the other two lanes got more free farm and experience than you did, so people used to do it less. Those days the best you could do was 3 man gank another lane, which meant that individual skill mattered more than simply outnumbering the enemy
>Memefight deathball fangays will argue that outnumbering the enemy takes skill because 5 people are working together as a team. Somehow 5v1 actually takes skill because you're 5 people working together to rape someone?

FUCK THIS NO SKILL GAME FUCK IT.
