If you ignore how good the death pulse talent is, is the right one worth even considering? I can’t tell how effective it would be even with a lot of stacks so i’ve never picked it

Meanwhile every single team from the Open Qualifiers are EEU-majority

Valve needs to do something about region hopping

On returning to the pro scene

“[When will you return?] We’ll see after the International. Maybe I’ll return, maybe I won’t. [Before the International?] I don’t want to. The schedule is just too big. If they invited me to stand in, maybe I’d think about it. But I just don’t like the quality of the tournaments, there aren’t enough spectators. Because you play in an unknown place – from studios somewhere, from offices – the atmosphere is lost, it all turns into a routine rather than a celebration.”

On Dota and CS tournaments

“There are often spectators at CS tournaments, there’s a huge arena, people drink, and it’s like a show, it’s interesting to watch. And in Dota, you just move from office to office.

For me, CS has become more spectacular and dynamic lately. Dota is a slow game, and after the 10th minute you can already understand that someone is most …

i found parivision using a bug which can locate unrevealed heroes by clicking on their icons at the top of the screen and then clicking their animated portrait. i dont know if any other team has used this bug.

I have tested for serveral times but still find that bots no longer buying items. Maybe no one play with bots, yet I still hope some kindheart devs will fix it soon.

TLDR: There is no optimal time to proc Tankbuster during the 12s charge as the 40 damage and 6% Max Health damage both scale up linearly, however there is some inconsistency on which items will proc it, for example Mystic Reverb will not, but Mystic Shot will.

I wanted to do some tests on Tankbuster since the description isn’t clear how the “charge up” element affects the Base 40 damage and the 6% Max health damage.

For Reference:

Tankbuster Description

I tested on Calico using Mystic Shot doing 168 spirit damage to meet the 165 damage threshold.

Lv 1 Calico has 700 HP and no Spirit Resist. So one fully charged instance of Tankbuster should do 82 damage to her here. Assuming the 40 Spirit Damage AND the 6% Max Health Bonus Damage are affected by the 12 second charge up, the math should look something like this:

Full Charge (12 sec) : (40) + (6% of 700) = 40 + 42 = 82

~¹⁄₄ Charge (~3 sec) : ¹⁄₄ (40) + ¹⁄₄ (6% of 700) = 10 + ¹⁄₄(42) = 10 …

Capacitor doesn’t effect a majority of abilities but it does hard counter The Cube.

Enough said.

This is hands down the coolest character in Star Wars the design and perfectly fits Sevens style.

I have no idea how to make skins so I was hoping someone else with the know how who feels equally as enthusiastic would be inspired.

Using the immortal training dummy in the practice range I did the math using Geist comparing the headshot and body shot dmg of just glass cannon(6400souls) and just point blank(3200souls) and with half the cost you are doing 10%~11% less headshot dmg and a ~10% less body shot dmg than a 6400 item. Like this should be illegal idk why people aren’t buying this item more. I was just using Geist because single shot is easier to get a total number for than a spread shot hero. I think I did this right but it I didn’t let me know ‘cause this is crazy
