    I would almost always in every situation opt for PMS + Drum over vanguard now with a few minor exceptions, but I will look back on my fun times with vanguard and smile longingly

    and just thinking about it, you are better off going your build with drums & pms and then adding heart later :( poor vangaurd.

    oooohh! i consider it pretty core on slardar actually as it helps with his sprint

    Let's leave HON talk out of the thread maybe, confusing enough game for new people without reading hundreds of other names and terms from a different game. :pac:

    Aye I didn't realize you were building it, already 2/3 through it when you were there. Should have just went straight to scepter or something instead :(

    Will it be cross platform with PC?

    The new patch brings a customisable chat wheel;
    But there’s one thing in this patch that I really love, and that’s this: the chat wheel is now customisable. You can change the sayings in each of the slots to whatever you pick, from a list of… ooh, lots. These are divided into eight categories (Positioning, Status, Enemy, Lane, Items, Neutrals, Misc, and Flavor) and they encompass most things you’ll conceivably need in a match, from “Jungling” and “Roshan”, through “Check runes please” and “Can someone upgrade the courier?”, to “Fight by the tower” and – my personal favourite – “I immediately regret my decision.” I suspect I’ll be making good use of that, along with “Don’t give up!” and “Relax, you’re doing fine.”

    "Relax, you’re doing fine" is something I bet you'll never seen in a game :p

    Omg the compendium people are brainless. We had both doom and ds in jungle yesterday... ds would ignore everything for the whole game farming mek etc, but never using them. Weaver was doomed beside him for 10 seconds but he kept killing the camp etc. Was so painful.

    Then you'll hate playing with me, stealing all your feed. is that even a thing? Well it is now. Feed steal. Sometimes we are lsoing so badly and that I jsut have to run at them to feed to enable them to push faster, now that's a good feed.

    I remember a game were I went 0-20 as Skeleton King. I was jungling and got ganked by a DD Nightstalker at about 5 minutes, in stubbornness I just kept going back to the jungle even when they were pushing the base. It was magnificent.

    My record is on Tide though sadly

    the worst thing about the players is their emotional stubbornness. in games where they are playing support and arent warding and the team says "wards" or the like and they get into a hissy fit and refuse to do it out of spite. and then of course the team gets ganked again right from the spot where you needed the wards and all the guy does is say "reported" when the team give out to him.
    in my experience, this was the mentality of about 80% of the players 5 years ago. now its more like 95% or so :s young males that cant get over themselves and act on spite first rather than anything else

    You have to turn on stats now, there should be a warning on dotabuff about your new games not appearing. Valve changed the default to off.

    Had a cheeky game as AM this morning, near 700 GPM i'm starting to like playing carries which is new... I've played MOBAs for 4-5 years and always avoided them when I could because of the boredom of farming but I'm evolving in to this farming non feeding machine gentlemen. BEWARE of big Sandor Clegane!
