doom’d abaddon means no ult engages?
Only if Doom has Aghanim’s Scepter.
Sounds like somebody can’t land flame strike.
Played against somebody who picked DP and used the auto hex hack. Tryhardery with tier 1 picks is fine (DP is still fucking overpowered shit) but fucking cheating pisses me off
EDIT: Four matches into the very high skill bracket and I fucking fall out again, every goddamn match I’m forced to play a role I can’t play. I’m so fucking mad right now, this is beyond unfair
Haters gonna hate.
Anyone remember when Lina’s ultimate was to give mana? It was Chakra magic. It was something like 600/800/1200, back in DotA 1.
Best, ultimate, ever.
I don’t hate Lina. She just sucks. lol
I can see her and Tinker really utilizing that. What else?
Man getting Oracle before Pit Lord or Wyvern, I thought this was America.
People want that 1.4 BAT not-a-carry carry I guess

Oracle and PA arcana.
I am not looking forward to having both of these fuckers in every single one of my pub games (Which is going to happen. Braindead character with big numbers+ cool looking arcana? LEL TAKE MY MONEY) Both of those characters are annoying, and they are fucking ***stupid ***together, I’m sure.
Might actually take a break from Dota for a few months when this patch hits.
Oracle looks like a pretty high skill cap hero so I wouldn’t worry about it too much. Can’t be any worse than your average terrible Techies player ruining your games. Oracle and Slark sounds muuuuuuuch worse than Oracle and PA. lol
This update looks dope though. Brood and Phoenix finally enabled in Captain’s Mode!
Oracle + PA is not an issue. Oracle + Huskar however is scarier than Dazzle + Huskar. Slap a False Promise on Huskar, give him Purifying Flames, watch him cast Inner Vitality, and see him not take a bit of damage because of Berserker’s Blood.
gib Huskar/Oracle/Dazzle trilane
Huskar/Oracle/Dazzle trilane sounds great on paper, but it does have issues. If it’s a defensive trilane, it should zone out the enemy offlaner pretty easily but also doesn’t have much kill potential due to lack of stuns. Oracle and Dazzle is also a pretty weak roaming combo, so ganking mid lane or a side lane probably isn’t happening. It seems like a pretty solid offensive trilane too, although lack of stun is still kind of concerning. Another issue is that if the trilane fails, Huskar and Oracle, two heroes that heavily rely on levels, will be horribly underleveled going into midgame.
There’s going to be a minigame enabled in matches if anybody in the game has the PA arcana.
Start of the match, somebody gets marked, and PA has to kill them for her team to “succeed”. If the marked target kills PA though, the other team wins instead. Items get handed out as a reward, or something.

[details=Spoiler][Nemesis Assassin Event
The Nemesis Assassins Event seems to be a type of a mini-game within our regular games. All those who purchase the Phantom Assassin Arcana will enable themselves to be eligible for this event to initiate in their games. xxxx
Both Normal and Ranked Matchmaking are currently adorned with this new mode and the related FAQ. | Preview
How does it work?
When a game is started, a player the Phantom Assassin Arcana will be given a contract to kill another player in the game. The contract will be publicly announced to everyone so every player knows who the target is. The mini-game is defaulted to start around 15 seconds after the game begins.
Once the contract has been accepted, two things can happen - it can be fulfilled or denied. If PA kills her target, then the contract is considered fulfilled but in the turn of events if the target slays PA, then the contract is considered denied. It is required that these two kill each other and not by team mates.
If PA completes her target, she along with her team mates will be rewarded for fulfilling the deed but if the target takes down PA, he and his team mates will be rewarded for denying the contract.
At the end of the game, the rewards are listed out. If no one on the team owns a Manifold Paradox (PA Arcana), the reward will be left unclaimed. (So basically that should mean that even if one player in the game has the item, the mini-game should kick off. The rest can participate. However if a team has no arcana owners on their team, then they won't be able to claim the reward.)
Additionally, gaining more score during the course of the event will let you unlock two new colors for the blades on your PA arcana. | Preview](http://www.reddit.com/r/DotA2/comments/2mqi8e/nemesis_event_details/)[/details]- You have to be on the right end of the contract AND win the game, or else you get nothing.
- The prizes are the keyless crates. I got a Treasure of the Shaper Divine earlier. Contained a rare PL lance with…couriers purchased gem
played oracle and liked him, was causing havoc with a pudge, a hook coming at you from a invisible pudge :o
Valve is definitely pushing hard on the boundaries of what’s OK with the money making in this game with this update.
We now have in-game ads and game content that is behind a paywall.
Really not happy with the direction everything is taking
I’m only 1-2 with the three Oracle games I played, but the losses were mostly out of my control I guess. He seems like a really strong hero, but you probably need to pick a position 5 type support with a reliable stun for laning stage and going into mid game since he lacks any kind of CC. Carry in lane needs to have some sort of slow or stun too.
I’m getting legitimately annoyed by Valve. The stuff they have been charging for is absolutely absurd.
The compendium this year was literally paying $10 for the opportunity to give Valve MORE money for points. This one is genuinely ridiculous, though. They outright cut Diretide for this. Think about that.
