Yellow Players are Annoying (Madcast Episode 10)

some nublic gets all riled up after realizing he’s nothing

Raven calls out the Empath (MADCAST 7)

EDIT: Dota 2 Leaked Progress Update

Edit: No one cares about Maliken crying and want the DotA 2 good stuff:

Well, I was informed of this story via PM on the HoN forums. Luckily my private message box wasn’t chock-full of messages from slob nergins and could receive it. That said, someone put on their investigator goggles on (fat nerd I bet you read that as googles), and found out the beta has been going on since November of last year.

Nevermore just got added into Dota 2 and some other stuff like bug reports have been added. Looks like the wagon is moving up the Oregon trail quite nicely. Only Uncle Jim has gotten dysentery and died so far.

DotATV? This sounds promising. What could this be? Maybe DotA2 will be easier to stream?

Raven brings big Soulstealer play to Casual Mode (MADCAST 6)

If you’re not watching the stream yet, this is what you’re missing.

Hammyton tries to Tremblerape with Legionnaire; gets put down by 1500s

The fat son had a brand new smurf and fresh bottle of Mountain Dew out but that didn’t get him too far; he only knocked out eight wins with Legionnaire before getting shitslapped into the comingled recycling bin by some dumpy 1500s in MM.  You mad lil brewski?  Kids not separating the brown and green glass?
He got some more wins now but the account is up to like 10 losses, which to be honest is getting close to the number of times Raven has struck out in online dating.  Time to switch teams bro?
Is it actually fun to brainlessly sit in jungle while your team loses 4v5 instead of outplaying the actual humans in your lane like a champion and getting kids mad with big plays?  If you’re a worthless dumpster, signs point to yes.  They also point to the treadmill, lose some weight fatass.
Some dumpscrub from HoN forums put it best:

This is a plea to S2 to finally do something about the ultimate grief pick, Legionnaire.

He is the god of turning games into 4v5.

He won’t do creep pulls for the short lane.

He won’t pay attention when people leave the lane to gank him.

He won’t help with ganks.

He won’t even skill taunt.

Why is it even possible to pick him? Among the three worst heroes in the game , he is the one I’d least have on the team.

Sounds like that madbad got a big helping of the rebel Hammy himself.  Hardline asian parenting went over the top and now he can’t stop breaking Rule #4 just to play by his own rules.  Someone reel this loose cannon in before he takes it a step further and goes War Beast every time.  Legionnaire’s a gateway hero son, yer heading down a bad path.
