These Heralds Can't Stop Throwing!

[@BenExclamation]

I feel like fist pumping everytime Lewis has an opinion that Pyrion agrees with

[@nickdziura7373]

In herald putting wards down counts as map hacking

[@HeliosW1]

I appreciate Lewis so often playing devil's advocate to counter Pyrion's rants.

[@Zarzar22]

Genuinely my favorite part of the Triforce podcast is Lewis playing devil's advocate. So refreshing

[@PatNave_]

For as rough as late/mid game is for Daff. He actually seems to be slowly improving during the main lane phase which is nice to see. Now just cast spells in team fights and work on that mid game. Love the series

12:10 the top tier awareness from daf, even at much higher ranks people won't tp to a carry screaming for help

This is the Yogs' best content in a long time! Just binging every single episode I love the dynamic and format

[@amaworm]

Pyrion shouting "I'm gaming" at 41:10 made me laugh so hard!

[@krumpits]

Daf complaining that jakiro toxic, while in the same breath calling him garbage is top tier dota chat

At least Daf is consistent in his inconsistency.

"Jakiro has no legs for example" Literally a dragon. With four legs.

more legs than most

[@JoachimElmesioo]

Somehow he counts as having 2 legs. Guess his front count as arms?

I recently got into dota because of this series and now understand what pyrion is talking about

[@Cizzo8]

Same lol, testing all the heroes and learning about farming triangle, tower priorities, item/hero combinations and the hero spells... it's finally so much less of a mystery. Everyone who's interested should try out a bot game sometime.

[@Nimbus3000]

I'm so sorry

[@matsh5633]

@@Cizzo8 farming triangle? What's that?

[@Cizzo8]

@@matsh5633 at the offlane parts of each team there is an efficient triangle of creep camps you can farm, which is generally preserved for pos 1 while 2 and 3 skirmish. 2 can also go sometimes, but 3 really doesn't need to farm too much and is biased to more skirmishes than farming

I love it when videos are longer. I hope this goes on forever, much better than main channel and twitch stuff.

I would recommend watching Pyrion's in-houses on a Tuesday

[@barrettshannon9876]

31:05 my favorite part of the whole vid XD

[@MerlosTheMad]

27:40 It's just how some people are. Some keep a presence of mind well or enter the "zone" and others' eyes just glaze over and they're a zombie until the hectic stuff is over. Maybe their ancestors needed to not panic in tense situations and they evolved an auto-shut down, who knows, but whatever the case some people really struggle to react or keep thinking about what they need to do in mobas.

[@Mediocresinger]

Obviously this isn't a particularly common example, but people with PTSD may panic a lot more when playing games, even when what is being portrayed on screen has nothing to do with that trauma. I've seen plenty of people without it just panic too, especially perfectionist types with a fear of messing up. Also, his mad rant kinda annoyed me. "It's only a game", yet he gets angry very, VERY often when playing or even casting lower level games.

[@Deunstephe]

This is awesome, this is just insane. I only recently played some support leshrac so it was nice to see him appear in the game. I love the stream games, I do, but it's another level of insanity when Daf sends one in sometimes. Lovely stuff. My pins came in last week and now I have a lovely little Pyrion King and Lewis skeleton on my desk.

[@kazot]

"They are actually gaming" had me good.

[@jaspergregorio9774]

my favorite part of the week

[@madgecko11]

A little clarification unless it’s changed maladict damage isn’t based on damage taken but difference in health from when it was first applied. So stick mech and heal burst can mitigate its damage well if cast and you heal above what your health was when it was first applied. Unless they changed that recently in which case ignore me.

[@DartNoobo]

You sound like someone who knows what he is talking about.

[@DrewTheTigerGamer]

You can still buy Pyrion's announcer pack in the store! It wasn't a limited time item, I bought it when i picked up dota a few months ago.

[@HeliosW1]

He's talking about the pyrion "Use your spells, lads" voice line that was battle pass specific.

[@Scaedura_]

You can buy the announcer pack, but they were talking about the voiceline "Please, lads, cast your spells" which was one of the voicelines you could buy during TI, but it's not being sold anymore.

[@john-marccartagenas6706]

Thought the title was a bit generic, but that game was like a baseball, a father, and a son.

[@zoraksilver]

This series is so great.

[@fugyfruit]

I think the reason Daf gets all the good items and skills but never knows when to use them is pretty simple, he's being coached by Joe, Joe tells him what item and skills to get but Daf just isn't good enough to know when to use of them

[@legatelaurie]

I way preferred the videos without Joe coaching, because you get a much better idea of how Daf is playing, and it's clear that Joe is basically carrying half the time

[@jjdude5531]

@@legatelaurie I much prefer the coaching because even if he doesn't know when to use the items yet, he's at least learning. Just knowing which items you should have is a good step.

[@MultiCynicalBastard]

@@jjdude5531 i dont know man. I play smite, which is a baby game. A game with NO ACTIVE ITEMS, in which you can ask the game to automatically buy items FOR you any time you return to base. And i have friends that use this feature, that then get incredibly frustrated with the game because theyre getting hit by stuns and damage and they have NO idea where the fuck its coming from or what they should be avoiding because its scary, and they havent learned anything about itemization because the game does it for them. Joe can explain himself as much as he likes (and he doesn't often enough) but daf still isnt going to GET it because theres a much better player than him saying 'buy this do this' and hes just nodding and saying okay without thinking about it.

[@Mediocresinger]

@@MultiCynicalBastard to be fair, Joe often gives reasons for it which is what Daf needs - in addition to raising his understanding of how items fit heroes or situations or enemies etc. It also makes him more likely to follow the advice (though that said, he often ignores advice anyway, both through choice and through being unable to focus on the game and the advice at the same time)

[@legatelaurie]

@@jjdude5531 I guess, but watching someone being coached doesn't seem to fit the idea of scrub dota. Watching a game where someone DC's because they're so drunk is the epitome of scrub dota! Someone being coached, idk

[@GravitationalFlux]

I spent so much time early in DOTA buying force staffs and ghost sceptres and bkb's that i never used. I knew they were good items but I wasn't good yet

I would love if pyrion had any sway he could for one of the side bits at TI get a game with daf there and have the pros critique him 🤣

[@ArlanKels]

While that'd be cool, I'd say no. Even this is pretty tough on Daf mentally. I mean look at the jingle jam game, Daf was basically getting grilled and I don't know if he really felt comfortable with it or liked it. Putting yourself out there to get ripped apart is pretty damned tough on the soul.

So a major issue with supports getting glimmer is they think they build it so they can ult then they rush stupid shit like ahgs. They spend so much money on themselves and usually don't do a proportionally high enough damage. Also I spit out orange when Pyrion went oh theres a pa in this game. That rung so hard. I've been in the middle of a game 40 minutes in then I see the enemy carry for the first time all game and be like oh ya they are in the game. shit I forgot. XD

[@DoctorSweaters]

Oh my god I just realized Flax and Lewis are vtubers in these vids

[@Zaqster]

I've been playing Dota2 for almost two weeks now. And I can probably say pretty safely that 80% of the losses I get, are people just refusing to play with the team/together. It's exhausting trying for 30 minutes for people to get together and finally finish off the game. Often times I have to take a break after a win because it's so much more exhausting than losing =D (probably very low MMR unranked, I haven't gathered enough hours to even get a rating yet)

[@DartNoobo]

Mate, at this rank it is not beyond inhuman to carry alone. If you lose at low rank, you deserve it. Trust me, you gonna agree after you get sufficient experience with game.

[@Zaqster]

@@DartNoobo I've seen it happen against me, when the team leaves and just one guy struggles on for wayyy too long. But yeah, I'm nowhere near good enough/experienced enough to carry my team. Maybe later if I'm still playing this game in a few months =D

[@leetri]

As a League player, this series has been a nice reintroduction to Dota. The lower rank allows for more commentary on basic mechanics and concepts that you wouldn't talk about in high ranked games, which makes it easier to get into. The gameplay isn't for me (too many buttons with all the items, I played Skeleton King in the closed beta for that reason), but it's still enjoyable to watch.

[@qT_p13]

I know I seen it but I can't remember this game at all. This looks so different as opposed to seeing it live from Joe's view.

No daedalus no mkb = weak sniper and they never win. I woulda been the teamate yelling at sniper to BUY A FUCKING DAMAGE ITEM!!! lol. Sniper was no threat even if he stayed in the game he was shooting potatoes at drow. Satanic is worthless if you have no damage. Even with satanic on his health dropped when drow shot him.

For all the homies, Pyrion explained it incorrectly. Maledict checks vs health at beginning of cast, not damage taken during effect. The spell is literally useless against morphling if you cast it on him before he shifts, so be careful.
