Woah. woaaahh. I was totally joking kag, you played a fucking mad awesome puck that game, no doubt about that.
Sarcasm/Joke not detected obviously, sorry bro.
Also, we need a Warning about Sanjay in the thread title. Everyone must know about the risks of playing with him. Personally I like the drama it adds to dota.
lol Phandy we are never on the same wavelength. I wasn't serious too. Well maybe half serious. I have battered wife syndrome from playing with Sanjay for maybe 2 years now.
Vladimirs is core on him for the lifesteal aura (since lifesteal modifiers don't work with his fury swipes). After that, your choice of boots and blink dagger to fix his lack of a getting-in skill. From there, either BKB, heart, or sheepstick work best on him. You could also do SNY or basher if you really want, too.
Yes, the core build is Vlad's + Blink Dagger or Lothar's + Heart or any HP stacking items you can afford. Remember that Fury Swipes is an orb, so don't buy HotD or anything like that; Vlad's only.
So how do you go in a duolane support-hard carry against two aggressive-strong early game heroes? The other day i was Faceless Void with my friend's Dazzle (or Lion, can't really remember) and we just got destroyed early game against Sand King and Crystal Maiden. I was eventually able to outfarm every hero in the game and we would've won if i didn't die 3 times in the first 15 minutes or if i was able to get a decent farm (or well, if i wasn't a moron who doesn't bring a tp scroll when pushing with allies bot raxes down).
Trilane or keep the duolane and put someone in woods that come out and help/scare them away (chen is probably the best one to put in woods to do this job). Having a good ganker on mid lane that can gank with haste/invis runes is also good. You can do that or just swap lanes to make sure that their carry get shut down even more than your carry.
and Gondar looks like a cat. MurkyZebra2417

My second Riki game went really well:

How does this affect Windrunners ulti and Anti-Mages Mana burn now? Does it mean i can use the mask part of Vladmirs offening on AM? And Scepter isnt needed for Windrunner?

so this match that i just played reminds me why russians are so bm.
I was borned in Russia and ask anyone, I'm a super nice guy. Don't generalize >_>
i'm not trying to generalize but experience is really.. bad in here. Whenever i get a russian on my team (i dont often get russians in my team), he starts calling names and trashtalk the team. Now irl, i have a couple of russian friends and they are really nice.

I had the most awesome Russian on my team. At least I'm pretty sure he was Russian. Eastern European at the very least. I'm terrible at identifying accents, though, and his mic wasn't the best. He played Morphling. He was nice.
In that same game, I had the most awesome... probably American? He played Riki. He talked like an old-timey big shot, with an accent that I can't place. Like a stereotypical ladies man from the 40s? I don't even know how to describe it, but that's what it makes me think of?
They both used voice chat and they were pretty hilarious and also nice. I wish I could guarantee they were in all my games. They made the game so awesome. In fact, people who use voice chat seem to be pretty nice in general.
Morphling: "Hey, good job, guy!" "You should back off now, yes?"
Riki: "Hey-hey, how ya doin' buddy?" "Hey now good job there. Yeah!"

then how would you describe an online player that likes to ruin games? Not saying all the russians in particular are bm. I seen players like those with different ethnicity/nationality. If you want me to be more general then I say those players are ignorant.
that isnt always true. Sometimes, I cant even hear to what they say because of their crappy mic or they speak too soft. Also there are times when they rage at you because of something they were expecting

Well of course it's not always true.

Oh hey, Auto_spectate works again. Just launched Dota up, and I'm already spectating a game
*Goes to find command to turn off*
What exactly does that do?
These kind of generalizations are completely wrong IMO. What if you get a Russian who speaks English all the time? You wouldn't even know he was Russian unless you checked his Steam profile. You might have had Russians like that in most games.
Accent?
Most of Eastern Europe has an accent other people would identify as "russian".
The moment you start Dota 2, it starts spectating a game, and will spectate anther game once the one you are watching is over. Nice if you just want to watch games.
I'm waiting for techies 8(.
Yeah, this happened to me. I think steam some how downloaded it wrong so I had to delete the file from my hardrive and re-download it. It worked the second time around.
alot of russians that grew up in an english speaking nation have close to no accent.
i know its wrong of me to pick on the russians but recently some of the bm players that i have encountered are russians. I apologize if i offended to any russians but I didnt mean to emphasize on one nationality

That Night Stalker was the biggest asshole. It made the game awful on our team, too. I know it's much worse on the other side, though. Been there more than once. ):
On the other hand, I feel like that may have been my best-played Dazzle, despite going mid. I know Dazzle makes an all right mid, but I generally don't. I'm awful at ganking/roaming. Once team fight phase kicked in, though, I don't even know what happened. I pulled off some shit.

Can't believe he did that mistake. I was born. Knives explain!
Anyone know if they will be adding the newer heros that came out towards the latter end of the War3 dota scene. I'm not sure which ones Ice Frog had a hand in making but I'm talking about heroes like the Disruptor, Grand Magus, Tuskaar, Guardian Wisp and Phoenix.
I think the last heroes Ice Frog developed before he left was Ancient Apparition and the Chieftain. I'm sure Vavle has completely new heroes lined up as well. I just hope they don't have that Murloc, I hated that guy.

They're adding all of the heroes in whatever version of DotA (I have no idea what the current name is) Icefrog controls.

What kind of abilities would we expect so see that aren't possible with the war3 engine? I know next to nothing about what the war3 engine is capable of.
next time we do ih, furion and am should be auto ban before the game starts
