As for Madman that nerf was stupid,I'd rather have a "Pure KS Scout" than Madman now. At least the Pure KS Scout will get us kills

[CrimsonNuker]

First Champion of the year
mah power is comming back

[CrimsonNuker]

I just finished a game, and the other team got backdoored NICELY. our valkarie destroyed like the back of their rax's and our creeps slowly poured into their base while they were in ours cleaning out our rax, and none of us payed attention, and suddenly "VICTORY!", me and my 2 other friends are like "LOL WTF?!"

I saved that replay for epic lulz

[Scarth]

A slither laning vs SS mid, and SS losing it? Failure.

[HughGRection]

[Skyve]

On another note,after watching some Devourer replays,im inspired I wanna pro hook so bad

[Skyve]

Sup, dawg. A game tonight?

Yes, seriously!

You know where to find me (MSN)

[Mirosuke]

Edit: OH what the.. changes.... uhm. I guess some big changes since they mentioned them.

[Skyve]

There's also the Vectorial Targetting,a feature this game should of had long time ago. Lets say Behemoth's uses features. Atm if have to go around the fissure to use a spell because your character is looking for a straight line between Point A and B. Now with the Vectorial Targetting you'll be able to just throw a projectile from the other side of the fissure.(Instead of going around it)


P.S: Playing Test Server atm

[Skyve]

Not suppose to post these but I will for SRF ;P (Can get banned if I get caught)

Love zephyr and electrician updates. Can't wait to play Zephyr, he was already an awesome hero, can't imagine how much awesome-er he is now.
