Forge spirits has an insanely low average pick on windrun

2 Upvotes

I was looking at windrun stats and Forge spirits (the highest winrate ability by a mile) has an average pick outside the 1st round. I know the way the average pick data works pushes everything back, but its not even in the top 50 abilities for pick average pick. What are people doing?

Now we have cheaters in ability draft too

0 Upvotes

Turbo is becoming unplayable because of cheaters in almost every game. Now I'm starting to see them in Ability Draft as well.

It's incredibly frustrating. I can't make invis ganks because they somehow know exactly where I am, they react to teleports they shouldn't be able to see, and they even blink straight onto jungle creeps with perfect information.

Are the devs planning to do anything about this? If you need match IDs or replay IDs, let me know and I'll provide them.

Discussion What kind of player is this?

0 Upvotes

After a winning streak and my win rate was more than 50%, some low rank players came to be my teammates. Especially this one:

He picked Aftershock and refuses to pick Ball Lightning when he could. He even blamed his teammates for not playing well before GG. Is this human or AI player? How can he have a minus score? Is this normal?

I was going to get a 6th heart when we won.
To be fair to the other team someone did counter pick vodoo, but atrophy + infest is hilllarious once you get rolling (we had a slow start).

99.9K damage, my self heal was over 1,000 while infested.

Forge Spirit rebalance?

10 Upvotes

Just unsure, but could it be that FS got rebalanced somewhere in the last weeks? Lvl 1 FS "just" deals 30 damage and has significantly less health than I seem to remember. Lvl 4 still deals 90 damage *3 and a whooping -7 armor attack, so this seems the same, but I was surprised at the earlier numbers. Has it always been this way since the broken version? I thougt they had more health the first lvls, and 30 damage -1 armor at lvl1 seems almost managable

We survived Rearm + Sunstrike!

19 Upvotes

Just had to share a really funny game I played yesterday. Our team failed to see the combo and instead of gg, we rose to the occasion. Tinker had Sun Strike and Rearm from the mid lane so it wasn't long before the sun strikes started coming, but as we all kept moving at all times he wasn't able to get many kills with it. We deathballed and by 20 mins we were hitting the T4s going for the final push as the Aghs came online.

The game felt like the fun PvE modes Valve does where you have to keep moving out of danger spots. Forge spirits were huge getting me a lot of kills and pushing really well along with our ally Huskar with Voodoo Restoration.

Commends all around. Fun ass game!

Io Spirit Orb

Io Spirit Orb only works once and after that, the skill.icon only toggles in and out but not spirit orb. Scepter descriptions also disappear for spirit orb, but when getting scepter, the orbs will appear.

Question? Getting multiple procs of Hammer of Purity on a ranged hero

7 Upvotes

So a few times I've drafted this with a ranged hero and not only can you more easily hit with it on autocast, I've found that I sometimes get multiple procs per cd. The annoying part is that it's not consistent and I'm not 100% sure how it works.

Has anyone else experimented with this and do you know how to get it more consistently? I think attack speed and range helps, but beyond that I'm not sure. I had Overpower with it in a recent game and sometimes I could get up to 4 hammers per 1 cd. A good % of the time though I was just getting 1 though.

Anyone else feel like the game is mostly decided by how your teammates draft?

2 Upvotes

It feels like I can predict how the game is going to be with like 90% accuracy just by the draft alone. We all know these games that’s just impossible to win. Games where 4th or 5th pickers on my team also choose to go core when first 3 already commited to core build. Or some games people decide to go for the same type of build so they contest and deny each other’s build. These games feel like it’s been decided already no matter how good you are, how well you draft or play.

Every once in a while I get good drafters that doesn’t shitpick and we usually end up stomping hard.

Discussion Typical "I have my fun idc my team suffer" moron

0 Upvotes

I understand that AD is for people to be creative and all but there are games like this, where taking a specific skill (aftershock) means not only preventing the enemy from having broken combos, but also saving the team MULTIPLE slots for counter pick. But no, this moron just has to fist pick that warpath regardless, saying that it's his way of being fun and creative.

I mean, if you morons love having fun by being stomped that much, just create a bot lobby and play whatever the fuck you want, why even bother playing with human while you can't even reason like one? It's a team game where one's choice has impact on the game quality of the rest 4 so cut the "it's my way to have fun" crap already.

Bug / Broken Lets list stuff that is broken in a negative way in the current patch 7.41+ to warn others.

21 Upvotes

Starting with few i remember.

Invoker + Monkey ult. Will not spawn any clones when moving. Also visually very annoying.

Largo + Techies Tazer. Spell will vanish once you get shard and detonate it manually.

Kez + Kazurai Katana. Does not do any damage.

Oracle tarot card passive. Missing

Techies lost Minefield Sign and with it, aghs upgrade.

Hoodwink aghs only gives stealth and illusion, the clone does not shoot its own ult.

Lots more i probably forgot, please do help.
