I was super surprised today when I was playing lonely Iceland in the 867 start to find the byzantine empirehad managed to inherit east francia, Italy, and lotharingia (or, a karling inherited the empire)...
Off to never raid anywhere near them till they implode.

I was messing around with stupid forms of propulsion tonight because I'm tired and not thinking straight.  I've just found an amazingly fun/inefficient form by tethering a repair drone on a really long extendable arm so it tries to approach and repair you.  Have recorded speeds up to 1k mph in testing grounds.  No brakes though, and terrible handling.  Gunna mess with it more in the morning.

Snipers, snipers, snipers
So, promptly after missing both a 95% chance shot to kill a sectopod and an 85% chance weapon disable on it, said beast shot my assault and killed my best support.  Obviously, my sniper then had to panic and kill my wounded assault   Heavy floaters come around and decide to say hi in overwatch.  Of course, losing some of my best damage meant that I wouldn't be able to take care of both the sectopod and the floaters in one turn, so with my remaining support I suppressed the sectopod and killed a floater with my second assault.  My heavy missed his second 67% shot to kill the heavy floater.  Next turn, the sectopod misses but the floater critically wounds my heavy, leaving me with just 3 squadmates.  I made the terrible mistake of trying to finish the sectopod with my sniper again.  2 95% chance shots miss, assault takes out the floater (I would have had him go for the sectopod but he wasn't close enough), and the support does the minimum damage possible on her weapon leaving the sectopod with 1 hp.  Sectopod then kills both my sniper and support that turn.  The only way for my assault to escape was by the sectopod, so I ran for some full cover.  Sectopod blows up cover with artillery thingymabob and then shoots and kills assault.  Left with only squaddies in barracks.

Tried to do the nekhot urgent quest where I have to fight monoblos and white monoblos at the same time... but it turns out I had forgotten that I hadn't refilled my inventory when I had last played over a month ago so I only had about 5 potions and 5 mega potions.  I managed to kill the monoblos within 20 minutes only fainting once (I was a little stingy on healing for obvious reasons).  Then, while fighting the white monoblos which just also happened to be a large variant so I couldn't reach the tail to cut it except when it was burrowing or right after the horn-toss move thingy, so I eventually fainted one more time, ran out of healing potions, and then was down to 3 minutes on the quest.  At this time it was almost definitely near death so I tried to YOLO as hard as I could until it did one of the stupid dig and then dive up immediately things   The tail had barely even gotten underground when it went back up so it caught me in my dodge roll.

Steam friend is in non-steam game: Origin.

Stealing this for myself I think

I'll agree that spirit is probably one of the most annoying pub heroes to play against, but I've started having fun trolling SB pickers with morphling/other heroes that have invulnerability frames in spells to counter his ult.  So funny to watch a player just stand around confused for a sec because they completely wasted their ult while you walk behind a tower.

EDIT: Timbersaw has also become my favorite hero ever.  So much fun to play.

Even in "Hey, it's my first moba game EVER" bracket, there is always this asshole who made a new account, and who will stomp the Skeleton King. 

I only have played about a hundred games, got in one game where me(bounty hunter) and sniper were laning against drow and SK.  I let sniper farm and went for the megajerk skill build so I would always have stealth and would just harrass them once every 15 seconds.  They both quickly ran out of regen, then died to me and sniper.  after about 3 deaths each, both of them ragequit.  I felt both excited that I managed to make someone mad enough to ragequit but also sad that the game would be ruined by that.  Commended the one guy on their team who stayed to the end.

My nation imploded as I simultaneously had to deal with two random people gathering hosts and invading with huge armies because they wanted my title and lands, a stupid person deciding to declare their independence, and some norse dudes getting half of england/scotland to invade me at the same time.
