Wow, a post I made 10 months ago is only one page back from this one. People must be too busy playing to post.
Who is hyped about TI4 and all the other tournaments coming up and going on? What team is your favorite? Honestly, there is something/someone I like in pretty much every team. If I had to choose a favorite, it would be Cloud 9 because Sing has provided hours of entertainment for me through his stream. And even though I'm not a big anime fan, I like how EE isn't afraid to be himself and has a bunch of ironic and non-ironic followers because of it.

Don't play AP without a full party for some days after Techies' release. Maybe some weeks.
New Bloodseeker is really interesting. Some observations I've made about him:
- Quite a bit better in the middle lane now that he has a decent hybrid nuke / zoning spell as well as a few other changes.
- Thirst is a more "reliable" boost in lane. If the offlaner is getting zoned out, the Bloodseeker will be able to take advantage of that. Bonus points if you are using an aggressive trilane as three enemy heroes getting harassed from time to time will give Bloodseeker plenty of Thirst damage.
- New Blood Rage has a lot of applications. It has no mana cost so Bloodseeker should use it liberally. The most obvious application in lane is using it on an enemy melee creep you are about to last hit for easier last hit + a generous amount of HP (~130 for melee creeps). Outside of lane, it could be used to buff you or your teammates damage, or burst down an enemy hero. Another application is using it to heal weakened allies when they are near creeps.
- Jungling Bloodseeker seems to be a bit faster (but more risky), although this needs to be tested more. It probably still won't be worth jungling BS as he has gotten some good laning buffs.
- Still has potential to snowball, but it's much less severe. Also better playing from behind than old Bloodseeker.
- Decent utility in teamfights: can light disable a hero reliant on moving around the fight for 12 seconds, W nuke + silence can disrupt some heroes, and once the enemy heroes are weakened a bit he can do some serious damage. Blood Rage is pretty hard to use effectively in a teamfight as it can easily backfire, but it can still do a lot in the right circumstances.
