That's not exactly what he said. He said Sumail is better in lane than Shiki, and this much was glaring obvious to anyone watching the games. Sumail completely dominated Shiki and won matchups that he was supposed to lose in theory.

 

What the fuck is happening right now... Aui just got kicked from EG. New roster is ppd, fear, sumail, rtz, universe. Secret looks like it's completely disbanding. S4 back to Alliance, Zai "retiring" for school...

Oh and c9 disbanded.

 

yeah, did not see that one coming. But I can kinda understand it.

I'm really interested in what Puppey is doing. I think he and Kuro are finally splitting up.

Next few days will be interesting for sure.

 

"Bleed Blue."

 

Can you quote where you got that s4 was leaving Secret? Because Secret has announced zai retiring for studies and RTZ leaving for EG, but nothing about s4.

 

Poor Aui, I wonder what EE is going to do. Cloud 9 were like the gift that kept on giving, so many hilarious moments.

It might be hard for him to find a new team, I suspect he will try to create a team for himself.

 

The s4 thing is unofficial. Just a rumor at this point, but I'm not positive where it came from.

 

Dota 2 6.85 released

http://www.dota2.com/685

Pretty hyped for the new patch. Balanced rainbow pony got the nerfs he needs and Batrider is back.

Thoughts on the changes from any Dota players here?

 

Try checking if there are any threads in which your question or subject fits before making a thread of your own.

 

In this case a mod is almost certainly going to merge this with the Dota2 thread.

There's a few people on DLP who play Dota2, but I don't think this needs it's own thread.

 

There are going to be, I imagine already have been, people who did not read the patch notes and see this. I don't need to be in their games to enjoy the delicious tears, just knowing they're out there is enough.

Looking forward to seeing how the TB rework works out.

 

The most notable thing about the patch was Lesh getting destroyed, but it was pretty tame overall. Ancients necro was retarded, so I'm glad it's gone. All it did was encourage people to fuck up pub games.

If a mod sees this can we get it merged with the other thread?

 

Goddamit I just got on to this.

Loving that Witch Doctor Death Ward damage increase tho.

 

It feels like every single patch since 6.83 has been catered toward Alliance and they still manage to throw. Ogre just keeps on getting armor and that PA dagger buff is ridiculous. Get ready for the AA/PA dagger spam lane.

 

That AM/PA lane is gonna be just stupid. It might create another sort of niche like Drow/Visage did.

 

Undying aghs is really strong in the mid game teamfights if you get it. I go offlane with him and max soul rip due to the tombstone nerfs making it very easy to kill. arcanes stick into aghs makes you insane in the 20-30 min mark. 3 man decays, free messerschmidt reaver.

 

I bought the upgraded aghs for Abbadon, it was fun to watch all the damage my team was taking suddenly decrease as I activated my ultimate.

 

And our oppression by the unenlightened heathens continues as we are once again confined to a single topic whilst they roll about in the filth of their whole subforum.

Infesting Ancients is bullshit.

 

I think the aghs buff is pretty good but I can't see myself picking it up first. Solar crest + glimmer are much more important and around the same price while offering much more utility to your team during the mid game.

 

Took me way too long to figure out you meant AA/PA...

I'm still surprised that ES isn't in CM and didn't get any changes this patch. I expected one or the other but not both. I'm not surprised he isn't in CM so much though.

And I think TB might get a full Sunder rework if he doesn't become more popular this patch.
