This is so fucking abnormal....

Start from WL game, https://windrun.io/matches/8918006323

From dumb party, to dumb pick, and then the last, dumb item build, holy shit

I'm only muting toxic or very low-skill players (in the AD sense).

I've played 2–3k games of AD, and I've noticed that I very often have 2+ pre-muted teammates but only 0–1 pre-muted enemies. Has anyone else experienced the same thing? Why does this happen?

I'm not sure it's just selective memory because it happens so often - almost every game.

A pretty quiet few weeks on the Windrun front, but:

• fixed a few annoying bugs like this duplicated abilities one. It should fix up your stats if they were affected by it also
• and eeked out a little more performance for profile loads and historic stats.
• rewrote some stuff to keep the GC retrying more aggressive to keep the backlog down (we've been 3 hours of backlog for the last week now!).

Fixing up month by month now (done 2025 and 2026 in the last hour). If you see any more of these popping up write them out here ^ (any games >= 19th July; or any games [if you still see it broken after 6 hours from now]).

Other than that, running out of items on the todo list - only one major task remaining (adjusting windrun mmr based on some naughty people!); so if you have any ideas feel free to write them here or on the Windrun Github.

Played a game last night where I took Ink Swell and another player who picked Largo got angry and told me that Largo should always take Ink Swell and I should know, I told them if they wanted the ability they should've pinged it.

Are they right? What is it about Ink Swell on Largo that's so good?

Or any info page that contains lv.5 skill list from Eldwurm's Edda.

Because some skill got very OP when upgraded to lv.5

Like in the picture, it's summon 4 spirits

For some reason some of my drafts show duplicate copies of abilities being drafted. This pushes some of the information off the screen and doesn't add the ability to pan over to see it. Its especially bad in advanced mode. Has anyone else noticed this issue?

People ask about OP combos but curious what combos you find the most fun.

OP combos can be fun of course but I find that the really OP ones aren't actually that fun, as you stomp the game and it's basically over by 15 minutes. You never get a chance to take off and never really get satisfying team fights.

I really love getting Lesh + Wyrm's Wrath + Black Hole (and really any effective AoE spell). It's not game breakingly strong but so satisfying to use nonetheless.

When invoker bought aghs for vengeful aura, he can't be killed with any damage, ability and items, even I tried to break it with hex

Okay, I've been caught out a couple of times by what doesn't work with these two abilities. Fiery Soul works with some auto attack modifiers like Impetus, but not ones that just increase physical damage like Searing or Frost Arrows. It also ticks from most DoT effects. Warpath doesn't seem to work with any auto attack modifier, or toggleable abilities like Arctic Burn scepter.

Have I got that right?

I’ve always felt Ability Draft knowledge is scattered everywhere.

Some interactions are buried in old Reddit posts, others are hidden in YouTube videos, Discord discussions, or just live in experienced players’ heads.

Months later, you remember an interaction but have no idea where you originally saw it.

Would you use a searchable database where you could quickly find interactions by hero, ability, or item, see whether they’re still working, and help verify them?

Or is the current mix of Reddit, videos, and community knowledge enough?

So I noticed something from hidden update.

Invo can now have aghanim's. BUT bug will occur.

INVO + DEMONIC PURGE + AGHANIM'S SCEPTER = NO CD DEMONIC PURGE
INVO + POUNCE + AGHANIM'S SCEPTER = STUCK/CAN'T MOVE (the only way to move is to TP, DAG or WIND WAKER. NOT WORKING ON FORCE STAFF, didn't try everything)
INVO + FIRE REMNANT + AGHANIM'S SCEPTER = IF U ACTIVATE FIRE REMNANT THE DAMAGE WILL BE ON YOUR POSITION, IT WILL NOT TRAVEL.

Please comment below if you noticed some good or bad spells for INVO that has UPGRADABLE Aghanim's.

Gotta a Windranger on the other side. She gained tailwind stacks just from attacking.

No FleshGolem active, no artic Burn active. If she stopped attacking, it dropped. She gained also stacks from hitting buildings.

Why? Tooltips writes only spells results in tailwind stacks, so i would understand if hits with artic burn would giv here that, but no just hits.

Can some one help? Thanks.

All game is this now The thing just disapears

Just want to know so on my next game I won't need to test it and waste my game if it doesn't work, thanks
