I never played EM in dota, but since i started playing HON i found EM to be so much quicker and eventually saw it as, i can get twice as many games done meaning twice as much psr!! (unfortunatly the world doesnt work like this). and started playing EM for about 200 games... But after reading that article i stopped playing EM (havnt played one since). and at first, i got completely man handled. i lost like more then 150 PSR, its been about a week and a bit since then. starting to get my PSR back, and starting to get some really good games in, and starting to wonder why i was ever stupid enough to fall into that EM trap.

*edit* wrote this post to say thank you, but towards the end forgot to say it so.
so,
Thank you for bringing me back to the light torture!

Congratulations!

I played EM a few games after not having touched it for a few weeks...I got stomped by a 4 carry team. My God that's horrible.

EM is fun if you play it in 1 of 10 games or so, but it sucks if you only play EM. I got away from EM right before this article, but it proves what I thought and even showed me things I didn't think about before. biggrin.gif

Nice article tort smile.gif

Nice article plus a lot of good infos in it. Thanks so far smile.gif
One point for EM I have though. I´ve played a couple EM games just to see how some combos work out if you´re able to get them. As far as I know it doesnt matter if you play EM or NM the heroes are the same in both modes - statwise. So to wack around with some luxury items EM is not bad. Sure, I can go training to test stuff but there you wont have real heroes to try it on. I have to admit though, it´s better to get into a NM game with 9mates and try stuff out but well, I still think you can play EM games from time to time just for the fun of it and to wack around. Same for all those 5v5 Mirror Hero Matches and stuff like that. Ok, the article basicly says the same but .... well, ok. biggrin.gif
