You could, technically, pick up the rune (assuming you path it correctly) while diving without stopping too though. Much like ES roll or Storm's ball you can pick up runes/use items and such while doing it.bmin11 wrote:

He looks fun, but I never ever had any experience with him, so I feel like I'm watching Earth Spirit all over again.
Illusions do not do anything to the egg. The only type are Meepo clones, they can attack the egg.Tshemmp wrote:
Oh wait, so his Reflection isn't AoE anymore? I totally missed that change... But I remember when this skill was introduced to replace his lifesteal it was OP as hell.
I also laned against Phoenix today, his AS slow is so annoying, you can't trade with him at all when he uses it.
Does anybody know if illusions can help killing his egg?
I was so close to 4.9k T_TNot sure what amazes me most, the killing, or the fact that the killing is being done by someone called "fuwa fuwa time".Pizzicato wrote:

Good, keep it up! I'm currently on a suprisingly smooth road to 4100, but I haven't had much time to play ranked this week due to all my friends wanting to play games. (and as much as I love them, they suck at dota =x)yeahyeahyeahhh wrote:

I stopped playing ranked when there were a lot of ES and Broodmama abusers, I hope this patch is more balanced, since i'm planning to play ranked nonstop at least until 4,5k (currently solo ranked 4006, party 4070~)Soulclenz wrote:

Agreed. I'm excited to see him played by some pros. I enjoy using him solo suicide lately, but my playtime on him is starting to diminish and I find myself more attracted to heroes like clock or weaver for doing that.yeahyeahyeahhh wrote:
After 2 weeks of playing and watching, Phoenix is going to be a really strong offlaner. He can support but he needs the levels too bad. Plus he's not the best ganker (though he can). He's still good at turning around dives too specially in the early-mid game if he has success in offlane (only need levels, items don't matter).
I think Bulba will be the first player to fiend it.

The same thing could be said about Chess and Draughts/Checkers, it's 10 times easier to get into Draughts/Checkers, what should we do to chess to make the entry barrier lower? Nothing.Tshemmp wrote:

Time to start playing dota again...
All the things that I know of dota came from playing WITH and AGAINST people who were like 10 times better than me at that moment. I know I'm not the greatest player, but at least i managed to get 4k MMR rating, since you are from Brazil and you play on the SA server, add me on steam and maybe we can play some games.EineKrone wrote:
Guys, how do I dota?
I have a good enough knowing of the theory, but not sure how to train.(items, skills, commands, pulling, creep blocking, vision; these things I know/can do fairly well)
These days I finally decided to learn dota for good, so far going fairly well.
At the very least, how productive it is to play with someone who is better than you?(on your team and against)
Played with a guy yesterday(3 games, was a full party), he was a good captain, but tended to call everyone an idiot for any error, expecting everyone to be perfectly coordinated. What I would get from this?
Not trying to be a crybaby, but I don't see this as being particularly productive. I could be doing other things... And muting the guy means i won't hear when he is indeed giving good advice.
TY I think '-'
As in full party? Yeah, the games were harder and more organized, from now on I would like more of those IF the captain wasn't so angry. I remember one amazing game with a timbersaw mid(no trees there, how he did what he did... o.O), 2nd hardest game, 1st longest i've had(70min), but the whole time he made us laugh and maintaned us organized.Lolicakey wrote:

It didn't even fill up the benaroya hall with 3000 seats. There were still 10-20% of the seats left blank
There were 500k or so people watching the finale of TI3.Magicphoenix wrote:

I'm pretty sure those 17k seats were all sold out.
Compared to something like a concert that only last an evening vs an multiple day event, €100 is nothing.

Benaroya hall was full dude. Maybe not the whole time but that's because a lot of people were selective of which matches they wanted to see and when there were matches they didn't want to see they would be in the line for shop, player meet&greet/autographs, workshop artist, voice actors, food, etc.. During any of the really big matches that shit was fucking PACKED. Trying to find a sit for you and 2 friends next to each other cause you came late because you went to eat was not possible.Magicphoenix wrote:
