Add kunkka to the mix and you have a total team wipe

Yeah, there's a lot of combos with team-wiping abilities, but getting everyone in a vacuum, having the entire team's abilities off cooldown, making sure everyone has enough mana, and making sure everyone uses them in unison is a task worthy of the gods.

I'd rather build a team that can wipe teams without having to micromanage my entire team, but eh.

Vaccuum is the reason ds is banned.  His ult is nice, but tools to change your opponents positioning are better.

Teamfight teams fail in that you'll lose to split push.

And the next hero is Meepo, instead of techies. Also, Sunsfan's video is hilarious when it comes to the aghanim's function.

I'm waiting for someone with a godly micro to be farming in all three lanes and both jungles at the same time, poofing whenever a Meepo is in danger and getting a full build at 30 minutes mark

Feeding week officially begins tonight.

As a decent Geomancer player myself, I think I'll wait a week or two, when everyone is so used to fail Meepos that they don't see the real power of the hero.

I pretty much only play match made when I can play with my buddy, so I'll probably random meepo a couple times before I see him in a real game.

On the other hand, I'm too used to getting like 600 gpm in bot games.  Hell, I've done a few matches where I just farm well with a carry and get more gold than the people on my team who are hero farming.

Lol... what does that even mean...?

I don't think my skill level is high enough that I would actually encounter anyone devoted or crazy enough to micro Meepo well enough to matter. And my skill level is pretty good I think, 60% win rate with over 100 games played. I barely see anyone able to play Visage as it is. Chen once in awhile, but they all suck.

I can totally see his power, I think everyone can. But he's almost impossible for the average person to play as far as I know. I'm immediately putting him next to Visage at my bottom right hand corner to never ever be picked ever.

And after randoming him, now omniknight goes in the same tag of Awesome in my team, "Oh fuck" in the enemy team.

Just had a match where we were winning by a lot and got backdoored by a lycan. He alone won the match.

Sounds like you failed to get a carry or your carry failed to do his only job in the early and mid game.  Lycan isn't good late.

Are people accepting key trades for beta invites? A friend told me this since he's in, but I didn't know where that would take place at. Are folks who are in currently able to invite a friend?

Just a PSA:  If you build an AD style tiny without the required synergy, I will flame you.  I know, Lanm's tiny was incredible and loin quivering.  That's why I don't want to see scrubs destroy my memory of those games by corrupting and degrading that game-play.

It doesn't help when you feed 4 kills to a solo rooftrellen in the first 7 minutes

Let's be clear, you don't have to have wisp in a game for that to work.  But you have to understand that it's not a solo-mid tiny build and you aren't as effective a ganker.

If you want to get a cheap invite for the price of dota keys, you can just grab 3 keys off the dota store and trade them at places like the Reddit DotA traders place or things like that. I don't have a spare invite any more myself or I would give it to you.

At the rate the game is going though, it'd probably be out of beta within a few months.

Just noticed they added Meepo. My pleas were heard!
