I mean think about it.  If a custom map becomes popular enough, it might go on to spawn a whole genre!

IIRC, i read somewhere long ago that's why blizzard is so restrictive on starcraft arcade. they don't want another dota they don't own from the beginning.

Meanwhile, Valve is hilariously open to that happening. I mean, it is what most of their games are.

[Frumple]

Yeeaaah, them, of any gaming-related company, worrying about that is almost a joke. I mean, even if it does, it's still going to go through steam so why should they care? Money either way, and easy PR going loose reigns.

Still. The worry is that, joke or not, someone in corporate doesn't grok the punch line.

[Putnam]

Valve doesn't have a corporate.

I'd still rather have Valve behind the lever than Activision "Since it was made using our engine and our editing tool it's ours, even if we technically had nothing to do with it" Blizzard.

Is there any list of all the bundles you can get from year beast wins? I've gotten 2 so far, neither for characters I actually play. Would love to trade gift for gift or something.

[RexMundi]

Not sure on list.

I got the woodland outcast for NP, and a set for enchantress, neither i wanna open as i like my stuff for them
Dad also got the slark warden set that i think he'd wanna trade.

omfg
my stepbrother built diffusal blade on antimage

[RexMundi]

not unique anymore, so.. does it work..?

[Putnam]

No, it's not an orb but it still doesn't stack with mana burn effects.

[RexMundi]

hm, likely says that. I don't play anyone with difusal (as in, i don't play agility carry) so i don't read it as often as other things.
While on the topic of it, thoughts of it on Troll?

[PrivateNomad]

on troll it sounds decent

also, on a 7 win streak. got an ultrakill as meepo, lel

[umiman]

Strong but fragile.

He's a super right clicker with zero escape skills, which means he goes all in every single fight (as he can't exactly run away).

His strengths are:

1. Powerful low-cost burst damage in whirling axes. The miss chance is ludicrous as well.
2. Good laner, having both the advantages of melee and ranged heroes while having aforementioned powerful burst. Also has great movespeed.
3. Strong carry. He's very difficult to get rid of if he snowballs or is just farmed.
4. Super strong pusher. Towers will melt to him. So will Roshan, and just about anything really. Farms pretty fast too.
5. If you are the bashlord, you can 1v1 anything.

His weaknesses:

1. He's super squishy. He dies very easily, especially to guys like Lion or Lina who can burst him from full without much problem.
2. He's extremely reliant on BKB. Without it, he's almost useless as he gets kited nonstop. It's for this reason that sometimes you'll see people buy blink and BKB on him just to stop that from happening. Oracle is basically your worst enemy. Winter Wyvern is up there too.
3. He has mana problems between level 6 - 17.
4. No escape. You either fight or you die. Unless you get blink or shadow blade or something like that.

[PrivateNomad]

what about a lina with diffusal
