Guest, it's time once again for the massively important and exciting FoH Asshat Tournament!
Go here and give us your nominations!Who's been the biggest Asshat in the last year? Give us your worst ones!
Didn't Miracle get dumpstered by getting roamed on mid all 3 games? To me they have the same issue as Secret (particularly with Universe playing) where the cores combine to need too much space then they pick supports that can't protect the lanes. Fata didn't typically play too many farm dependent heroes and seemed to rarely die mid, though Jerax also helped a ton, maybe kick Bulba and get Yapzor....
I've been watching NP a bit lately, they have a surprisingly good early game but have issues in the mid-game. Late game looks decent too, if they can sort out their mid-game they could actually be competitive. Reminiscent of Cloud 9 they have some interesting picks & item choices too.

It's not so much the cores, it's failing to draft a support duo that can go toe to toe against the gank train they simply run all game long. From the game I saw, SB is almost a hard counter to Tinker, so whoever was drafting needs to be slapped. If mid isn't avaiable, they would raid the sidelanes, where you are usually much further from a tower. Instead you see them going Naga and shit to splitpush them, but that simply doesn't work when you are powerless in the early game. Bring back abba, treant, dazzle, shaker and others.
EE carries his C9 legacy wherever he goes, it's no surprise.

God I wish I could have more ranked games like my last one. Played as KoTL and by 20 minutes I had higher networth than the opposing Alch.
They also had a Jugg and Sniper get brown boots by min 7. Oh, and I even finished my tranquil boots (5:23) before the Axe we were laning against (5:46). Just a terrible opposing team all around.

Not upset by the 2nd nerf to dagger range, PA was still easy-mode
Yeah I dunno, the range on PA dagger made her annoying (even after the first nerf) at the low levels but the real annoyance comes in at level 6 (or maybe 7 now for level 3 daggers) when she starts critting you for 300 every 4 seconds because rnjesus felt like she should crit every throw. At least now you can zone the shit out of her at the low levels if you can to slow down her farm some (even better if you can stop her from getting much exp).

Yeah the crit is definitely the more annoying part but god damn does it make super early laning rough too lol
I had a weird, had to be low(?) mmr game last night where our team didn't pick a real carry so i build full DPS skywrath mid. That was actually a lot of fun haha.. veil + eblade into spells does so much damage when you're at ~240int.
We had sven but my buddy is pretty bad at carrying lol
A lot of fun though, had an enigma with refresher orb and an oracle making crazy good ult plays against their juggernaut lol

Everything is viable in pub dota, just not everything is viable in every situation. Don't be afraid to start thinking about what items you might build given the needs of your team or to counter the capabilities of the enemy. The best time to do wacky shit is when you are new and the sandbox is wide and deep. Don't forget Necrobooks if your team lacks the physical dps to quickly kill towers. They can be particularly effective if the enemy is composed of largely single target carries.

I'd tell you to get comfortable in a role on a few heroes, but then you run into people picking meepo who have never played him or a mid invoker and just ghostwalking everywhere trying to autoattack people to death. So if anything, don't get too fixated on your MMR and switch to low sodium diet so you don't die from the salt overdose. There's Rerolled chat, but it's pretty much dead in my time zone.
Also watching The Summit CN qualifiers, somehow we went full circle and the games resemble Ti4 finals. 6 towers dead and 4 kills...

Had a game yesterday where we had a cliff jungleing NP and a jungle doom. Both were level 5 at 8 minutes with gloves of haste building toward Midas. Back to low priority I go! Good thing I like single draft.

Liquid vs Alliance g2 in Dreamleague:
Loda died, BBs and manages to kil Matumbaman, ending his godlike streak for 1k gold.
Eventually, the casters figure out that he got a lot less gold due to the BB penalty.
ODPixel: Damn, he lost way more than 10% on that money.
*crickets*
It's been a while since I laughed while watching the game.

Haha i like that pretty much any caster or desk analyst people are running the puppey memes into the ground
counter-picking invoker with silencer is pretty fun, once i get a refresher orb it's pretty much over for them haha (at least at my skill level). Invoker zeus and LC try to trio gank me... LC blade mails and blinks but i immediately silence so all 3 of them cant do anything.

I've basically played 2k'ish matches random picking at the start, with a little emphasis on a few heroes (Dazzle, Jakiro, Shadow Shaman are about my only 100+ heroes). Going to start focusing on just 5 or so regardless of enemy lineup and spread them out with a support focus and a laner.
