So my and Bash went and broke our record today. Victory in under 13 minutes, but 13 minutes because of the time it takes D/C to count as a win.
Other team quit due to being killed continually / so far behind. http://cloud-2.steampowered.com/ugc/...5324E93855CA7/
Played a game with Chaos Knight, first game ever with him, and knew nothing about him before this. First things first, his right click attack sound, such a satisfying whack sound. Really feels like you're just bashing your opponent hard. About the game though, I got really fat, and just owned. The opponents do kill me from time to time but in team fights, as long as I didn't get black holed me and my illusions just caused so much damage.
EDIT
On the opposite end of things, I still haven't won a game in my life using Windrunner.
