my god that was a dark day for jugg players everywhere, anywhere. one of the most brainless ways of playing. its like playing juggernaut as wk but you have magic immunity xd
well maybe in a "team item into 5 man deathball push" sense hotd does replace mek, but in each of the heroes' respective item builds sense it replaces mek. you used to go aquila treads (wand) mek on most of them but now you go aquila treads (wand/raindrops) dragon lance
darkest times of my dota days, i probably had 45% winrate that patch because of how bullshit sniper, troll, and jugg were not to mention getting fucked over by the newly implemented and obviously overpowered comeback mechanics that made the meta really stale back then
I used to have something like a 40% winrate a long long time ago, I didn't even know what supporting was, everything I did was dogshit and I didn't even realize it, and then one fateful day I discovered the sexy beast that went by the name of Abaddon
did u know i got like 2998 mmr way back before sniper troll jugg meta and then when that patch started i dropped to 2400 and gave up on solo ranked altogether for over a year xd
i legit thought (and still do) think that this game isnt fun at all unless youre playing with friends and i wasnt a competitive twat back then like i am now so i managed to live my life being an unskilled dota playor with over 3k hours xd
I actually have over 500+ games as abaddon now including the games from my old 3k account which I abandoned because I looked at my dotabuff profile and was dissatisfied with my stats xd
just fed as spectre
either i got used to bot games too much, i'm getting rusty, the packet loss is getting me, or its just the team being outdrafted
meh its probably all of them xd
i should just stick to playing on net cafe
U forgot your kappa
At least if I play with you we get really retarded enemies like that troll warlord who gave me a 9 minute beyond godlike streak as SB LUL
i think back the 6.88 farm --> fat --> win meta with sven and turtling was so popular, most lineups ran dual core lineups but the other core had comparatively more farm than the other, instead of near equal farm. generally it was just invo --> another core to farm like sven/tb/even am
what beastmaster was guaranteed single target lockdown. ult went through bkb, so did the boars ridiculous slow. now its kinda mellowed down but before it was cancer to be kited like a three legged tiger
the main idea of it tho, is that beastmaster allowed so much control. imagine putting 40 minutes of farm into one hero, doing your best to let him farm in peace. then some orphan with a pig and a bird makes that all go to waste
Hence why I get force and glimmer
This page is mine Ahahahhahahahhahahhahahhahahahhahahahhahahahhahhahahhahahahhahahahahhahahahahh
GIT KEKED
id rather have a core get mek if at all possible
i used to get mek on bb because mek was a rly strong item but now both mek and bb are bad xdd
well yeah in that regard i agree with you to some extent
What patch was it when vipers and sfs used to buy mekanisms every single game? xd
HEY MEK ISN'T BAD
dont forget od. od used to buy that shit all the time
that explains why i got mek on sf once or twice now lmao. must have seen old dota 2 videos
and i remember it was in the old deathball era. not the drow aura/luna and sd era but way back
od mek was a thing? youve got to be kidding me
Viper mek isn't that bad tho
Especially if you can get it early
OH YEAH, back when people used buckler to get OD's passive to proc xd
^ WAIT WHAT THE FUCK!?

viper mek is bad because you wont have mana for it
razor, sf, and viper were all top notch mek carriers because of their tankability/death ball potential
but since the manacost nerf its fell out of favor, but dragon lance has since then replaced it for them
HELL EVEN SOME NPS WOULD BUY MEK
SPEAKING OF NP
CLIFF JUNGLING LUL
FURION MEK JESUS CHRIST IM TOO YOUNG FOR THIS GAME AFTER ALL
People used to actually build crimson guard on razor xd
dragon lance replacing mek? not quite. i think hotd fits mek's purpose better
sf = mana cost both to mek and raze
viper = unsustainable, lineups often ran two arc
razor = still okay i think. but razors a shit hero and meks a shit item so no
Hey viper doesn't need mana and that clutch health can help you kill one more target then you would other wise
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Sub 1k knowledge lul
viper's ult takes a huge chunk of his mana pool not to mention you have to sustain your UAM rclicks with mana
Remember when juggernauts used to go 1-1-1, max stats and buy mask of madness?
Don't auto cast UAM on viper simple ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

^ i was considering doing that not too long ago but then 3500 cap hit and my chances of magically skipping mmr vanished :(
btw haffy is a weak cuck cuz he still has to follow his parents 10:00 pm sleeping rule but he's doing this puny rebel thing so he sleeps 1 hour later
Eh, it's fine, even if you calibrate 2k you can just climb, you get a higher winrate and more fun that way xd
Like I did xd
Good old 6.84, when winter wyvern, dazzle and ancient apparition were almost always in my games and I only played abaddon
No seriously, I used to only play abaddon until I learned winter wyvern
And then wyvern got nerfed shortly after -_-
I'm still mad at osfrog for that Winter's Curse nerf
I only play feed hahaa
just fed as spectre
either i got used to bot games too much, i'm getting rusty, the packet loss is getting me, or its just the team being outdrafted
meh its probably all of them xd
i should just stick to playing on net cafe
turns out i played with a 4 stack am sniper meepo invoker and asked me to pick support while i third picked
lol?
Either its the goddamn packet loss, me being unfit, or I'm losing my touch
I hope it's not the last
Pick bh and tell them you'll play carry
Tell them to pick cm and you'll swap so you can play support
Congrats, ez 2 supports
Btw why would you play with a random 4 stack you don't know?
??
Playing with random 4 stack is better than playing with me ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
U forgot your kappa
At least if I play with you we get really retarded enemies like that troll warlord who gave me a 9 minute beyond godlike streak as SB LUL
Or that invoker than set himself up for a full souls requiem
I
Have a 25% winrate in 4 games as bh
On my new smurf
And yet I have a 100% winrate on brood
What the actual fuck
Is beastmaster dogshit rn?
Idk i would like to ask the same thing. Wasnt he the meta offlaner not too long ago? Then suddenly he disappears again rofl

I remember the day that i can do 100cs in 10min as alch(real game)
OY what happened to jacked 1v1 raj invo?
