I'll second AM murders him. Only way to counter that is to build soul ring and pop it before death :p.

The only way to turn that around is make reincarnate free.

Maybe that's not too OP.

Maybe you could make the aoe slow on death something you could trigger but then it wouldn't go off on death? He's a pickle to change, like you said, because he does pretty well in pubs.

Skele king destroys pugs if he gets feed and a bfury/ armlet / etc. I've seen his cleave crits destroy half an enemy team.

Everyone can cleave a team more or less as good or better than SKK. Sven/Tiny can do it a lot better. He's not a bad pub hero but he's not great either. Could maybe tweak his int gain/base int/base movespeed or speed up the reincarnation but I don't know. The question in competitive play is why pick SKK over CK. They both have a lot of similarities, tanky str carries, have base crit, have powerful single target stuns. CK has more mobility though(higher movespeed, reality rift), a better stun and a stupidly powerful ultimate lategame. SKK has a free aegis which is nice but he loses too much for it.

Haven't been playing too much lately but I'm guessing you can't buy player cards or treats? Suck a fuck.

You mean on the market? Maybe not but you can trade for them via usual ways. Specifically, you can trade keys for cards(and obviously buy keys), using any of the trading sites to find people or reddit or wherever. I don't think treats can be traded.

As predicted, KP did beat EG, and EG looked like garbage even in the one game they took in the series. In about 6 hours we'll see the Na'vi v KP matchup again, and I'm looking forward to it. It's a best of 5, and while I would love to see KP go 3-1 or 3-2, the realist in me says the reverse will happen, and they'll take 1 or 2 games and lose the series.

D2L has it at 79% odds for Na'Vi and I think that if you have a doubled rare or uncommon it'd be worth throwing on KP at 1:4 returns. I usually bet against Na'Vi because of the huge returns unless I am unconfident in there opponent, and I've hit it big twice and lost about six times. The payoff on the two wins was like 27 uncommons and my losses were only 14 or 15 commons/uncommons.

Betting against navi is insane IMO. First, their wins lately didn't even look close and second, lots of people try to still bet against them due to the "inconsistency", so the odds aren't that great.

edit: well, 79% is probably as good as it gets, I just don't think they will lose a final. Random series in a tournament ? Why not, but finals ?

I throw items I have doubles of on long shots, and I have made WAY more than I have lost. You want to talk about insane? Betting FOR Na'vi. 4 rares gets you...less than a rare. There is a 10% chance that, even if you win, all you get back is your own 4 rares.

This is a stupid question, but I don't trade items ever. Are you able to trade items after they are equipped?

Every time I try to bet items the bot adds me, opens up a trade window and then it almost immediately gives me a "timed out" error and closes. The bot then ignores me until I delete/re-add them.

Super annoying and i've never been able to successfully bet an item thus far. Anyone else run into this?

A few times. I normally just remove them from friends, reload the page and add another bot. One time it took 5 times, but that was the worst, normally it works fine.

It's a shame Kaipi aren't going to TI3, they have been playing really well this past month or two. What's even more impressive are their strats, no other team drafts like them. Arteezy is also proving himself to be one of the best new players in the scene.

I don't know what they did in the last patch with matchmaking, but it really is broken as f***. Every single game is like 900+ win people and sub 100 win people pited together. It's happening in solo and and queued games. I'm talking new players that dont know shit about the game, not smurf, and they're queuing solo. This is all over the dev forums as well. Someone messed up something bad, game is unplayable curently.

90% of the whining about wins is retards not understanding ELO-like rating. I guess 10% is just the same shit that was going on before the patch, or worse. But a lot of people are just idiots and don't understand shit. "I have 1000wins and 1200losses, obviously I'm a better player than the guy with 100wins and 50losses because more games urpdurp". It'd be interesting to see the hidden ratings and see what people complain about then.
