DotA 2!!

Scoreboard on the left now

Radiant's fountain with no merchants in sight

Banning pick screen

Loading page lol

Lion's ultimate

---------------------

Pics and changelogs noted. WIll post my observations here

Notes :

1) Sven's stun now changed to a beam energy emitted from the sword

2) Lion's stun changed to a fireball thingy emitted from his staff.

It pops u out of the ground at the end resulting in a stun. (more impressive and animation is faster),Ulti reminds me of Ironman's repulsor cannon blast

3) Shadow Shaman still summons Snakes for his Serpent wards.
His ether shock and grasp looks more amazing. (He says : Hold! or Pull! when he shackles an enemy)

4) Tidehunter carries a fish which he slaps u with (lol)
Tidehunter now SPITS at u (His gush now becomes a spit in YOUR FACE. Ewwww..)

5) Blink Dagger looks like a Kukri

6) Battlefury looks like the Axe shown in the DotA2 Trailer

7) Radiance looks the same (glowing sword),Manta style is a light blue axe with 3 shadows behind it

8) Vanguard looks the same (Spectre obtained it)

9) Magic stick is the glowing stick that every hero obtains

10) Fountain has no merchants anymore

11) Pulling creeps from the side on the top lane still works (someone did it ingame)

12) Scoreboard now on the left

13) When an allly purchases an item (eg. vanguard,blink dagger) there will be an announcement on the screen to ur allies 'eg. Spectre has purchased vanguard'

14) Female announcer (will announce when u are attacking a tower and when ur tower is under attack)

15) When denying creeps, the '!' still remains the same but it will trigger a character's personal line
(eg. CM : Denied! WR : I don't think so!)

16) Characters will exclaim and mention what rune they found when they obtained it.

Hero lines heard so far :

Shadow Shaman (Rhasta) : Don't kill..the messenger!! (On death)

The future in ur hands

Alright guys I'm back..
Been awhile anyways :)

So yeah,recently my Uncle came over for dinner. *actually,he came over 1 hr ago lol.*
We talked bout many things,but one of the topics in particular caught my interest.

US is caught in an overwhelming USD 14.@%#&@ trillion debt




WHAT?

really? :o

Thats Uncle Sam's WTF face lol

Yeah yeah,I was probably outdated,didn't read the papers much yadayadayada..
Go ahead and mock me for being so surprised at this

Then again,go ahead and mock everyone else who can't be bothered bout the world
All they care is the fact that Paramount might be coming to Malaysia.

Even so,thats a big IF. Not confirm yet lol.

So yeah,juz incase u miss it tl;dr *too long don't read*

-------------------------------

Right so we (me and my uncle) discussed bout some economics and theories
He's a accountant so he gave an insight on this issue which I find very interesting

After dinner,I went to do my own research

and found.. this :

Gerald Celente was the man my Uncle was referring to (he probably forgotten his name)
Gerald appeared on numerous news channels to discuss US's fate in the year 2012

U can watch the video here if ur interested
Nothing economy related,but more of interesting facts and what he thinks of the year 2012

1)US will fall and become an undeveloped country

2) Riots and revolution (over the sky rocketing taxes and food)

3) Xmas 2012 will be more focused on providing food on the table for most families,rather than shopping and buying toys and xmas trees.

4)Many corporate giants will fall,along the way trampling all over the people below them

My Uncle describe US dying a slow painful death,but not before Europe does.
The fact that a lot of his clients and ppl around him are converting Euros to Swiss currency does make sense. Swiss currency being backed by GOLD. While Euros WAS once backed by gold.

Based on what my Uncle said,whichever country holds the gold,the currency will definitely stay strong.
Based on what I read,US once climbed to a currency peak due to the fact that during the Vietnam war era (Nixon's rule),the US currency was backed by Gold.

As time pass,greed and personal gain reduced the US currency's backing to nothing more than 'imaginary gold'.

My Uncle pointed out that bcuz all the people in possession of a large sum of Euros converted their funds to Swiss franc (the currency),this caused the Europe economy to plunge towards a faster and much more painful death.

According to Mr. Celente,the US dollar will be devalued by as much as 90%

No magic bullets/short cuts. 40 years of debt ain't gonna disappear over a fortnight.
Looks like Obama happen to pick up Bush's shyt right after all the fundings went to his phantom 'war on terror'. lol

------------------------

Could 'they' be involved?

Frankly I'm taking this part here with a pinch of salt
So should you :)


Its possible that they could be the one manipulating the economy from behind.
After the collapse of the economy around the World Superpower nations..
Its possible that the Illuminati might move in to make a move

Unite the world's economy and nation
And perhaps try to save whatever left of it

Who knows? lol.
Im juz sayin' it could happen


But anyways the take home message of the day is :

SPENT WHAT U CAN AFFORD,NO MORE THAN THAT
-Dun spend a penny more than u can afford.-
Gerald Celente, on ways to survive the economy meltdown.

Till then,

All of us are built with short comings..

Call it manufacturer defects.. God's little slip of hand..
Watever.

None of us is perfect.

By standing side by side,we form a better team by patching each other's short comings..


Acknowledging my own shortcomings.. is the 1st step towards a better tomorrow.
I just did,have u?

Till then,

Oh yeah,I drew this xD

A short moment here.

Before I get to the main topic at hand,I've been trying to get Maliken to become an early game Ganker with Sword of the Damned and Sword throw maxed out early by level 9. A whooping 330 dmg to the enemy. *ouch* It would be more useful anyways to abuse the early game burst of damage. Also working my way towards triple stacking to get that burst of 2000G. Not easy.

Managed a double stack at most. I'd probably take bottom lane for hellbourne anytime cuz of this.

Right,so this small post discusses the items for Maliken.

Frankly I think Steamboots,Whispering Helm and Shrunken Head is more than ENOUGH for Maliken.

Here's the main course,a small recommendation from someone.

The debate :

Post haste,Helm of the Black Legion,Nullstone..seriously?

So u'd trade away attack speed+small health gain for Post haste? Not worth it. at all.

Post haste cost 2700,

Steamboots a mere 1450. And u get so much more synergy with the latter.

Helm of the black Legion,why the heck would u need this?
Maliken is NOT a tanker. Regardless of anything,he is never and would never EVER be a Tanker. He is a Strength DPS-er/Early==Late game carry. A little soft during mid due to a lack of items,but once u glide past that phase,ur stepping into a world of pain when he initiates with sword throw followed by an Ulti.
I dun care what u think,but not all strength heroes are meat heads/tankers. Good job overlooking that fact.

Why would u need extra health and regen from a tank item? That totally contrast skill 3 (Hellbourne Zeal) Ur suppose to loose HP and gain it back via lifesteal (Whispering Helm) and at the same time dishing out a massive DPS with skill 3. Way to phail on recommending items.

Helm of the Black Legion =>
Lifetube (875) + Beast Heart (1100) + Shield (250) = $2225

Whispering Helm =>
Helm of the Victim (950) + Hungry Spirit (900) = $1850
*allows u to dominate a creep to do more incredible things than tanking*

And can be UPGRADED to this =>

Lastly,Nullstone..

Shrunken Head for Magic immunity (+Attack,and health) > Nullstone that blocks one spell and does absolutely nothing more.

Nullstone =>
Sustainer (1750) + Blessed Orb (2100) + Recipe (1000) = $4950 Blocks 1 spell only

Shrunken =>
Warhammer (1600) + Might Axe (1000) + Recipe (1300) = $3900 and a 10sec spell debuff


Disgusting item suggestions..

Don't teach me how to play MY hero,rookie

Till then,
