I think/hope they've thought up several new heroes and are even mostly done with their design but don't want to reveal anything before we have full parity.

I hope

They should make more skillshots and mobility spells.

Also waifus like Kindred.

As much as League tries to broaden the scope of their hero designs they're still making archers in 2015.

I actually agree with this, but I hope the mobility spells continue to be as interesting as, say, the three spirits, as opposed to a glorified blink dagger.

And I'm always down for more skillshots.

edit: old? probably old

My worst was when I got a sudden packet loss (when valve had a lot of problems with the servers), and I blinked and used black hole while holding shift so I couldn't cancel my shit and cost us the game.


Game was recorded though even when we played for almost 1 hour hahahaha



Oh wow, best thing about that gif is that the enigma pinged axe like crazy. Hahahaha, this is the typical "everyone's fault when I make shit decisions".

I really don't like it when directors use the same actors over and over.

Actors get lazy and it's too samey.

It wouldn't exactly be a Tarantino film if it weren't endless tedious dialogue. That man needs a damn editor, but he's too busy being an auteur to allow anyone to suggest that his endless conversations aren't actually even remotely interesting or engaging.

A friend showed me Death Proof (the full length version, not the "missing reel" Grindhouse cut) and my god, it is just crushingly boring. Tarantino regards it as his own worst; I regard it as his most true. He likes endless dialogue, he seems to think he has an ear for it, and he just doesn't.

I remember watching Pulp Fiction and really wanting to like it more than I did but I couldn't, some of the scenes are just boring and others feel odd.

Kill Bill was good though even though it included a 5 minute closeup of Uma Thurman's feet.

James Gunn does this without it being awful, he keeps reusing actors without it being super obnoxious.

I want to do Aghs Luna but I don't want to be that guy who builds Aghs on Luna.

What do???

its rly good if they dont have any natural bkb buyers.

As long as you outpace the enemy cores in farm, you can get the aghs, and farm up your next item while they farm bkb, putting them at a disadvantage in ur right click fight, while also posing a threat at any point with ur aghs ultimate.

I'd go into detail but haly doesnt deserve it

After careful consideration and a few matches under the belt

Aghs is Drow's battlefury. No more, no less, really. Buying it with the hope of getting a lot of team fight mileage out of it is a fool's game. It doesn't turn Drow into Medusa or Luna. What it does do is let her clear faster than anyone in the game, period. Aghs + maelstrom is broken farming speeds.

Pick up a Dragon Lance to knock down towers if you're in a match where you can/want to play a pushing/split pushing style. With Dragon Lance, Drow basically becomes higher damage Sniper as far as towers are concerned, as she outranges max tower aggro range with that item (!) and hits for maybe 75% more damage at most phases of the game than Sniper does. Dragon Lance is also good for chasing down/kiting for kills. The build works well if you want to just find pickoffs. Break down Dragon Lance into Bfly and maybe BKB after the outter towers have all been claimed.

After you decide how you want to play the game and buy items to compliment it, fill in the rest of the items as needed (BKB, Daed, MKB, Satanic, whatever) as usual.

TLDR:
  • Aghs is nothing just the equivalent of a Battlefury on AM. Primarily good for farming, but not a great item for team fighting. You significantly increase your farm potential but not so much your team fight damage unless you have like...idunno, maybe a Magnus or Enigma on the squad.
  • Max farming build will include an early Aghs, Morbid and Maelstrom. You're the ranged anti-mage. Maybe include a blink dagger or phase boots or something for maximum farming efficiency.
  • Max pushing build will include a Dragon Lance. Include Shadowblade for split pushing and aggro play. Shadowblade into Silver Edge if against an appropriate amount of passives worth disabling.

Note: One of the games I only had the Mjollnir as my best damage item and it felt like shit. Don't do that. Drow still needs a Daed or MKB to augment her damage later. I think stopping at maelstrom is really enough, then using that high income to build into "Drow-appropriate" items (bfly, daed, satanic, manta, etc). Maybe finish Mjollnir as the 6th item. Daed/MKB, Travels and Satanic before Mjollnir completion for sure. After fully 6-slotted, sell Aghs for something else, IMO.

What is the order of dragon lance, maelstrom, morbid mask and aghs? Do you disassemble the dragon lance when you build the aghs or bkb?

How do you guys feel about 1-4-1 CK? I feel like once CK gets off to a decent start thanks to supports there's not a lot of heroes that can stand against him 1v1 with his 180 bonus damage reality rifts every 6 seconds and it's pretty good if you absolutely have to tp in to help out in a teamfight(assuming your team isn't severely lacking in cc) even though I like to farm until level 11 + drums before participating.

I hope to see this hero played in pros to see how they approach him after his recent buff.

They need to buff enchant's scepter. You get 60 less atk range from dragon lance for like 2400 less gold, and I don't recommend getting both.
