Re: Pathing, Polymorph

I've never noticed it on the Swashbuckler's ult, just on like priests and things polymorphing creeps. Is there any difference?

Pathing, Polymorph

I don't know if anyone is noticed what a clusterfuck it is trying to walk past any polymorphed units, but heroes always seem to get stuck on them. Is this a bug, intentional, unfixable?

Re: Shardling Seige

It's not really a balance issue or a bug, it's more of an exploit. Just make it so they can't be put on airships.

Re: Things that go boom.

Holy strike has a radius so small you'd be lucky to hit 7 units. Abberations explode when they die dealing AOE. Also, Abberation is an unlimited HP heal if you want to get technical. If Abberation just increased HP % instead of healing completely, I doubt anyone would complain.

Re: EotA Rankings/Benefits

Uh I've never seen any "secret hero", but I've seen plenty of level 20s. I think it just gives the "doom" voice intro when a 20 loads.

Re: Area Domination

I like the idea of cores being devoted to obelisks. It does seem like the longer someone holds one, the harder it should be to take.

If nothing else, drop the teleport cost and delay periodically to an ob tower based on how long it's been held.

Not to flame, but based upon my friend's first hand accounts of stories from China, Saudi, and others, many international universities are jokes. China would be the worst example since the teachers pretty much make up grades, according to multiple people who spent years there. Further, while many in...

The micro for controlling them, setting them up, activating them, keeping them activated does not make them beneficial enough to warrant using f...

Re: 1.12c7 Bugs

Just had a complete client crash, no error or anything, no replay log (strange?). I was just rune shelling a bane with bane's shield up.


Edit:

Just confirmed everyone else in the game had a crash as well.

Just had a leak on Kedge with Ahkmed in my game. Checked WC3 after game, was using over 1GB of RAM, was getting .25-.5fps during game.

Re: Replays

You got kinda fucked on the teammates. Don't really understand the Int Swash though. For every demoralize you cast, you dash 4-6 times. You spend the non-dashing half of your time swinging your sword. So why did you spend the entire game with 0 armor upgrades and 0 weapon upgrades and almost all int...

Re: Mercenaries

I agree that if the other team is actually slowed down and drawn into a long battle in the middle, you can counter it. I just did it with Moononite and we were knocking on their base when the 3rd wave of creeps was spawning. It was too quick to react. Also, why Lich is critical is that even if you g...

Re: Mercenaries

Dekar's push was a significantly less coordinated/merc'd mid push than I described and it easily dropped mid. Had they had attack papers, they could have easily dropped the rock lane too. What you're not understanding Kalrithus is that if 1 team plans to completely focus on mid or mid and rock/inn, ...

Re: Mercenaries

Why? It's no fun. The game would barely last till level 15 before the other team quit. Plus, hopefully it highlights that lich's alter is overpowered, because that's really the key to keeping your push alive long enough to drop the towers. Also, that pocket obs shouldn't be sellable and mercs should...

Re: Mercenaries

Maybe if middle is totally undefended and every other lane is ignored, then when the push fails, which it will unless the other team is totally incompetent, it leaves your team at a disadvantage. This is assuming you time your merc spawns properly so they come as 1 big mass, because if they just tr...

Re: Lich in general...

I have to say, I don't think alters should heal both creeps and heroes. If you pair 1 or more heroes with a pushing alter lich, it's impossible to stop a push, even if you kill the alter shortly after it's summoned, every time. It's doubly difficult for melee heroes.
