It turns out "SingSing ate my passport" is not an excuse that U.S. Customs will accept

He's banworthy in comp matches but in pubs you can't really get the coordination that makes him worthwhile.

Yeah this was a good patch (not that Icefrog ever really disappoints). Although actually I was expecting harder nerfs to Morphling. Lycan nerfed HARD, which he needed. Alchemist and Phantom Lancer buffed a shitload, both might actually be good now. Nice buffs to Spirit Breaker, he might actually be halfway viable with a charge/bash build. Treant change is cool. And the Necrolyte buff is neat too, I might actually have an excuse to play him solo mid...

Also, expect to see shotgun Pudge in pubs near you.

that's just because you're used to a different interface. league feels clunky to me. (well also there are turn rates in dota and longer casting times but that's relatively minor in comparison.)

I agree that Sniper has good matchups vs. most of the other currently-popular carries, but I have a hard time seeing how he would be viable when Batrider and Wisp and Puck and other such heroes are everywhere.

I also have a hard time seeing what he gets out of bottle ferrying (I mean, Shrapnel is decent, but it's not Shockwave).

The problem with sniper isn't winning the lane, he's not that bad at laning, the problem is when you get blinked on and dream coiled by the enemy puck and have nothing to fall back on.

Double damage? It takes it from 950 to 1250. That's not remotely worth 4200 gold, even when you factor in the hp/mana bonuses.

And by the time you get the scepter, being able to "solo" a hero is pretty worthless because the game becomes all about teamfights. With the gold you spent on a Scepter, you could have had an item (or items) that would actually make the difference in a teamfight, like an orchid, most of a sheepstick, or force AND mek.

I mean no items are "bad" in the sense that all of them help you but there are better things to do with your gold as Lina 100% of the time.

VH is top 4%, High is the 16% below that, I believe.

There aren't actually brackets, they are just arbitrary numbers at which the invisible MMR system is broken up.

They made VH smaller at some point but I don't think it was ever 20%.
