I'm afraid if I have too much fun I'll die from joy.
I should just pick doom every game against him.
Or better yet, manner furion.

If I hadn't tried to roam so hard to save the lanes and focused on getting a little more farm for maybe a fast pkey it might have helped us, but I don't know if lion is the kind of mid that can bail you out of a situation like that. Might have had a chance on dp if I huge riced early and got a fast tower when ns left.
nop, ask some gaffers who i play with, i never play AM;;
I can confirm this. Hugo plays various heroes but I have never seen him play AM.
But how salty will you be when Syllabear gets added?
<3 i don't believe i played with you, but you were probably using a different name :O

Not at all.
I've never had a problem with him in DOTA or HoN, and I don't expect to in DOTA 2.
Most people can't even micro their own heroes, let alone a bear.
kk! i haven't really been into HoN and LoL gaf community so i don't really know most gaf players.
That is true. He is pretty micro intensive.
I wonder what hero will hurt AM in the meta game more when he is released - Lycan or Shadow Demon?
I'm assuming OD hurts him the most.
Someone explain to me what's so scary about Lycan.
As far as I can tell he has remained unchanged since I last played, which was like, 6.5x or something. And he was never much of a threat back then (in pubs anyway).

Oh god ganking AM is impossible in some pubs.
It depends on the hero setup. A team should always have someone with a disable skill and never let hard carry heroes like AM farm freely. This way you'll have no trouble ganking AM, you just have to plan it properly and keep an eye on him during the game.

Guys, I hope it's okay to ask this here but:
I just crafted Dota 2 with 7 coals BUT I can't play the game for the next 4 weeks so do you think we'll see a full release by then? I'm thinking of gifting it to a friend who could put it to better use than I.

Doubtful. The rumor is that open beta is February and final release is who knows when (after that).

Assuming it's F2P that wouldn't make any difference, right?
Dazzle, Vengeful Spirit, Omniknight are all pretty good supports to play. Everyone seems to recommend CM but it's imo harder to have success with than the 3 above. Sure you're always giving that aura, but she's fragile and has a terrible attack animation from my experience. Ofc give it a go sooner or later, it's quite an important hero after all.

True, problem is most players I've played with decides to outcarry AM instead. Had a situation today where everyone was all over the map, farming. We could've won if we played for an early win but most want to lvl up.
So in the end, got beat by Omniknight, AM, and a Dazzler+Huskar combo badly.
At least he has an excuses why he did poorly, he had a shitty build and didn't know how to ward. We are acting like we are better than him and still did poorly in that game. The end score was 7-34, not like few wards would have turned the tide of battle. He didn't even feed without boots, he had the least deaths from all of us.
Just to touch on the AM thing. I just hope all the other heroes come soon enough. Though luckely a lot of people picking AM on pubs are terrible and if you have a semi organized team you can gank him easily enough.
There is still heroes I "fear" more in pubs that just aren't in Dota 2 yet.
Easy for a well trained team with communication down pat. In most pubs? lol one disable isnt gonna stop AM. AM is also one of the hardest carries to stop free farming in pubs. Between TP/blink/Bfury you usually cant stop him.
Venge, Dazzle, Lion, CM are all relatively straightforward and also cover different abilities of support character that Lich wont cover.
Just watch out for CM's horrible attack animation. Definitely hard to last hit with.
At the moment I play random. I absolutely /loathe/ getting AM, Void, or any other late game carry. Because one of two things happen:
1) The rest of the team is awful/enemy team is amazing. I can't safely farm, and am useless in team fights.
2) The team is good/on equal standing with the enemy team. I farm for 30 minutes, heavy as a truck and proceed to 1v5 enemy team.
Both are extremely boring. I hate playing such hard carries, because you feel useless for most of the game and then don't even get to make big plays like an SK or ES or TH would. All you do is blink in, (ult if you're FV), turn on your bkb, right click to win.

I'm guessing have 2-3 carries on a team isn't viable? in LoL (derp) you have AD ranged carry, AP mid carry, solo top is usually a carry or sometimes a tank, and even jungler can carry, so that's like 3-4 carries.
naw 3 carry strat is fun.
a carry in each lane, you can't gank them all.
should try it sometime.
Hey, I'm all for getting Mek quickly. Which is why you let Sand King (the boss) get the Drum. One of the best items he can get imo, but you have to consider if a quick Blink is more urgent.
Great games tonight, Hugoboss, Knives, Corky and whoever the Venge player was. Some damn tight plays
Yeah GGs that was ridonkulous, first time in a long time I won a game >_<

i swap between Str and Int all the time with VS and Sven and other heroes
Nah, but Valve would be able to pull things like Stat resets and removing/turning off features because "It is just a Beta".
Cotdamn, this is why I love Captain's Mode. I'm guessing your team didn't want to stock up on teamfight badasses to counter all that sustain (ie Tidehunter, Earthshaker, Sand King, Enigma, Lich, Shadow Shaman, Witch Doctor)?

Problem was everyone was all over the map. So they picked us out one by one.
thats why that scruby would play AP :]
