shadow shaman is fun

What rune page/talents do you use with him?  I just stack AP/level and pure damage talents for rapey wards.

Is this a joke or am I missing something?

Razor with a soul ring and a vanguard is super effective.

Just had the most satisfying game ever.

Other team is talking shit, after each kill they have a comment and LOLs.

Our Storm Spirit quits maybe 10 minutes into the game.  As soon as it's safe to leave, two of our other team mates leave, leaving me and Pudge behind.  One of the guys on the other team starts saying "LOL Just leave, I want to play another game that isn't full of losers."

Me and Pudge say "Fuck it, we're gonna hold on as long as possible."  They push to our T3 tower (is that the one closest to the rax?) while Pudge and I farm like fucking MAD.  We start having teamfights at our T3 towers and fucking destroy them.  Each time that happens we push a tower of theirs down.  They keep thinking they can own us at our towers and keep finding out the hard way that they can't.  They were talking shit for the first few teamfights, but shut up quickly.

Suddenly we are many levels above them and have items out our asses - I'm tanking tower shots like they're fucking nothing.  We rax all their shit and spawn trap them, and they all quit simultaneously as we're about to knock down the Ancient.

FEELS GOOD MAN.  Fuck shit-talkers

Every one of my last couple games have either included a leaver or a troll, what have I done to deserve this  :'(

You should be glad because if you don't notice someone else being a leaver or troll, it's you.

Almost had my first zero death game today.  I went 14/0/10 as Invoker but after we took out their second barracks I got ulted by their Faceless Void which gave Skeleton King and Sniper enough time to finish me off before I could ghost walk.  Still a damn good game for me though.  And to make it even better I was the only one on my team buying wards/courier.

Had two back to back games, where we got shat on early-mid game then focused up and came back for the win, feels good  ;D

so... not a fan of the new hero selection screen

Agreed. It gives me an anxiety attack trying to figure out who to pick before time is up.

[/quote]i mean, from a design perspective, it looks really nice, and everyone's alphabetical order so if you know which hero you want they're fairly easy to find, but there should be an option in settings to pick between the 2 different kinds of hero selection

I think the problem is that it becomes almost impossible to browse so you have to know every hero well and know who would work best with the selections already made without having to look at a grid to refresh your memory. If they want to keep it like this I think they should start making hero suggestions in pub games as heroes start to get picked. You know like X works well with Y, A is a good counter to B. Your team is lacking flibbity jib which S has.

In more positive news than the terrible hero pick screen...the new outfits and such look pretty awesome.

Time for a new version of this:

[Trace]

If I'm not mistaken in what I saw last night, they changed grid mode so that you could see the selections that have already been made. Now I just wish there was an option to default to it.

Also I got an axe for axe  from a drop ;D

$40 early access bundle comes with an invite, so anyone that really wants to play but hasn't been able to get an invite yet can now play. It will just cost them.

We should have a chat channel by now.
