Yeah, but I sadly expect technical issues to be abound.

They also released the Fall compendium and it's ~meh~ IMO. Like I'll probably eventually end up buying like the 25-49 levels, but it feels like a chore more than a fun expansion of the experience.

Considering the prizepool is fixed, it does kind of come across as a big money grab. I bought the $10 one, but I doubt I will put as much into it as the TI one.

Yeah, especially considering that you can't gift or trade more than half of the items. I like the challenges, keeps me away from spamming Abaddon in ranked for ez MMR.

Somebody on reddit put it nicely: "Now my hat comes with DLC"

Yeah, that was amusing.

I kind of enjoyed watching a game where a team gets dominated that hard. w33 throwing nets all over the fucking place at the end was hilarious too.

I really question Alch gifting the early aghanims to supports. To me it would make more sense to give it to the wind ranger and have her go straight dedalus, she'd be able to run around owning everyone giving space for the Alch to farm more.

On the other hand the stats make Black's job of hunting down poor supports significantly harder and stacking one guy so a single reaper scythe can destroy you seems like a bad idea. WR can always sell the Aghs later for 7 slots.

Sure if they were 5-manning, but their lineup wasn't ready for it.

I've seen a couple alchemist games lately where he gifts the early aghs to a support, and in each game the team has always felt very weak afterwards. The issue seems to be that the first level ultimates w/ aghs aren't particularly strong and the alchemist is down a major item on the opposing cores.
