I don't know who you are. I don't know what you want. If you are looking for karma, I can tell you I don't have more than one upvote, but what I do have are a very particular set of skills. Skills I have acquired over a very long Reddit lurking career. Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you. If you admit this is a shitpost now that'll be the end of it. I will not look for you, I will not pursue you, but if you don't, I will look for you, I will find you and I will downvote you.

Huh, so I haven't played a single 6.84 match yet and now 6.85 might be out.

can I start polishing my TB arcana already

> +0.1 str gain

Call me weird but I actually got used to and kinda like this patch

tb my love will return

instant +500 mmr

i really like this meta. its much better than troll meta, and lets be honest, there are some op heroes every patch that make games unenjoyable.

buff nerf spirit and add him to captains mode

all i can say is rip bloodstone

also, hope my boy od gets back in the meta

RIP Bloodstone really. People cried too much about it, even when the item isn't viable on more than 10 heroes, while items like Magic Wand and Dagger which most heroes already bought gets buffs.

Bloodstone is fine really, as in my opinion storm is too

The problem with Storm is his tendency to make the other team pick no reliable stuns or silences even if he was first picked. Volvo, buff players' brains please.

Yes exactly

Well, bloodstone need one thing:
no longer able to suicide if no ally is to be healed from it.

or disable heal when suicided?

No, that's actually the point of the item. Mb you could do the reverse though, no heal if no suicide.
But what really bugs me, is those bloodstone buyer, just split pushing into suicide if they get caught.

omg matrice youre in the leaderboard or some shit like that?

hope to c more matrice tb in 6.85 =)) maybe tb str gain will be buffed?

Come on guys, you all know TB will be nerfed. He's like a reverse Lina/Windranger ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Reverse Lina? You mean like Inverse Inverse?

nerf storm
captains earth
nerf/buff ember

@mek you forgot bylatcyka

"Rumor on Reddit Doto: 6.85 will be announced in the next 18 hours"
Bad Intentions about 18 hours ago

you lied bro

Okay seems like a false alarm guise 😨 but pls lets wait a couple more hours ok 😨

We just have to increase the hours repeatedly and the announcement will come eventually.
Jump onto the hype train!

Excited for the new meta.

so doom buff?

Where is 6.85

6.85 will be here within the week. icefrog confirmed on the forums

this is it guise!

Buy leshrac dominance
Buy storm pickers
Die bloodseeker

Would be enough for a start.
Actually, I haven't played with/against them this patch, so I don't give a cyka

bye, not buy xD
but yeah, cant wait for same mid heroes to go the fuck away. sick and tired of linas lesh storms mid.

Meh :/

^sooo... no pot lord :(

then i must wait about half a year for 6.86 >:(

Storm is too good cause if you get Orchid, Treads, magic wand AND/OR null Talisman, bottle before 14 mins, you're gonna automatically snow ball, especially at lower MMR's where everyone has shitty positioning. A good player could easily smurf and stomp 1-4K with him.

^ if you farm all that pre 14 minutes in a lower bracket, then you probably should win, so you can stop being in a low bracket (cuz you belong in one where people know how to farm (as in not 1-3k )).

Storm is too good cause, even if he has an horrible start, he recover from it in grabbing 2 kill (thx new gold formula)
+ usually he is drafted against low stun/silence amount, which is pretty common lately.

And ofc, the usual, good laning (not that much, but laning phase is pretty insignificant for him with that gold formula for kill and creep) + able to flash farm (for example the stacks) + able to recover + scale.

They'll probably drop the zeus arcana and then wait another month for 6.85

small Buff- sniper, dragon knight, chaos knight, death prophet, juggernaut
Large buff- necrophos, earth, wraith king, elder titan, faceless void, mirana
small nerf- storm, lina, bounty, tusk
large nerf- bloodseeker, gyro, leshrac

I don't really think gyro needs a nerf. He's nowhere near stupidly op like lesh or bs.

bs didnt even get buffed that hard and basically all you need to draft against stuns and nukes and he will get rekt. u guys r just pusi

HYPE!!!!
