Playing -EM gives the enemy team a chance to fight back even if we have a better start than they do (which is pretty often).

Kind of odd how its the reverse.

You are correct sir.

If I play non-em games with my friends, after a couple of deaths on the enemy team, we'll be level 11 when they are JUST getting level 7. The XP gained from hero killing and the XP loss for not being alive creates a huge gap.

With -EM, the XP rate allows noobs to close the gap much faster even when they are getting owned. There are exceptions. I played a game recently and we are lvl 16 when the enemy is level 8-10.

BTW it is called easy mode for a reason. It's much more lenient than regular.

I demand an Invoker draft mode. In this mode, everyone would draft normally, except me, who would just get Invoker. God I love him. I never get sick of people QQing when they die because they're too retarded to move out of meteor fire.

I've gotten used to using Orchid and Shiva's but I haven't really found a place for Armlet yet. What exactly does Unholy Strength do, and which heroes do you guys use Armlet with?

Skeleton King or Naix are good choices to use the armlet with. If you are very low HP and toggle the armlet it actually gains you about 200-300hps

Great on Nightstalker to.

A really awesome early game strength build is:
Armlet+Helm of the Dominator+Vlads = you win

Can buy half of it at the side shops, so you don't lose much farm time

Bottle and Assists oh my!

[Ninajrr]

Bottle nerfed to 135/70 hp/mana from 200/100

Possibly to big a nerf for me to want to buy it anymore. Bottle already got to weak to fast, now it goes out of style even earlier.

[Zarcath]

Fixed level 1 March of the Machines doing slightly less damage than intended

nice, I always take March as my first skill.

The auto refill more than makes up for any of that.

Sarcasm? lulz

[The Dauntless One]

LULZ the buff on SNY was retarded. For one game I got Euls, BoT and SNY on Pudge for lulz but I stopped lulzing because I was moving 452 move speed. That was good times.

[vurt]

They should add another column to the scoreboard for total points.

Score could go like this: K = kills, D = deaths, A = assists, S = total score

S = (K + 0.5A)/D + 0.25(K+A)

When you have 0 deaths, you get an infinity symbol under your S. B)

Edit: added waiting so 8/4:2 is better than 4/2:1.

The speed buff from Yasha stacks with S&Y. At least it did in like .48, I don't remember reading any changes.

I was in a game where Siren (whose base move speed is 3 fucking 20) got BoT, S&Y and Yasha and we were literally blown away; I don't remember her exact move speed, but it was retarded fast. Add in the extra 20 from Eul's now and I bet she can cap her MS.

I'd also like to say that the reduction to DK's ult cooldown is awesome. It now lasts 60 seconds and has only 100 second CD. Costs a mere 50 mana. Only problem I've noticed (just in one game since .50, not a large sample, but I had never noticed it prior) is that his ranged attack suffers from the same problem Huskar did, which is that if people are running away, 99% of the time he'll do his attack animation but not fire anything. It's really, really fucking annoying.

If you're not going Manta on Siren, you're doing it wrong.

I got an SnY on Luci tonight, and plowin' around at permahaste is just too good.

Are there still FoH browsers' games? I tried joining the irc but no one was there.
