Tell those TOR guys their game sucks so we can reopen saltmines.
 
I have a Love/Hate with this game...like this moment my team was crap, 1 afk, 1 noob and other guy with CoD strategys....man..there are people who kill the game...

That is why i dont want a F2P game :(

Pay2Play doesn't stop the ratbags. They still exisited in HoN way before it went F2P. Some argue that HoN has the worse community out of the bunch of the DOTA games. They are all the same shit to me.
 
Protip: If you have a Haste Run as Sven and are going to gank top, shout "Leroy Jenkins" Into the voice chat to give the team moral support.
 
Well still a noob.

But I think I am gonan focus with witch doctor (or other healer support type if some one suugests).

Now do I just follow a fellow hero player around heal and attack (try to deny)?

Also what is a good buying path? I heard ring of balius asap (which I can buy at start).
 
Oh, that reminds me. You can turn Witch Doctor's Heal On/Off while his Ult in on. That is something I just found out today after the enemy left and I wanted to start healing us up.


The best part of Witch Doctor is his Stun IMO, but Maledict is great if you can get it on a key player on the enemy team. A good way to counter Dazzle's Shallow Grave. Its the Stun though is why I love Witch Doctor, while a bit random with bounces, it is simply great.

Also, is it odd that most of the time I'll go BKB rather then Aghanim's as my Luxury item? While a better Death Ward is fine and all, being unable to be stopped is just the safer rout.

The screenshot tells you everything you need to know.

(aka horrible horrible teammates)
 
I watched my two carries get ganked over and over again over 60 minutes.

Give me a fucking break if I don't feel like reliving the entire game.
 
I really like Tinker but i played with some class A jerks today. I had Boots of Travel and was porting to all 3 lanes constantly doing the Boots, E skill, Refresh, E skill, Refresh, back to base for Mana combo and i was accused of doing nothing the whole match lol. Yeah i was helping in team fights whever possible but my team was feeding HARD from the start.

First match i did 4-0-20 (win), no issues was a 40 to 4 pubstomp lol, second match not so good at 4-4-10 (loss).

I need to queue with gaffers again, solo queue is like Russian roulette.

Pun intended?
 
People love to blame Russians for them being bad, also there are bads from every country. Also people who need a team to play just want easy wins as the MM doesn't take teams into account at the moment.
 
ok you post one of yours then, we'll make it interesting

But they aren't interesting. That's why I don't post them.

On another more positive note, what I find is still the best feeling I get in this game is when I'm Dazzle and I keep both me and my lane partner alive for way longer than I probably should. So long that we eventually come back from a gank and kill all of them because all the while my partner is dealing damage, and then boom, in comes a TP, or mid, or whatever. So greatttttt.

It's nice to participate in a game where I win and play well again. Two games, in fact! IN A ROW. I'd forgotten what it feels like, for like two weeks straight. Yes.
 
I feel sort of bad when I place my Death Ward as Witch Doctor and get every kill. Except when they are trying to Rax us, screw semantics.
 
Okay, two questions:

1. Does anyone else hear Sand King saying "JEEEEEEEEEEEEESUUUUUUUUSSSSSSSSSS, JEEEEEEEEEEESUUSSSSSSSSS" when he uses his sandstorm?

2. Why does no one use Blink Dagger on Pudge? Thinking about it it seems like a perfect fit to me. You can just blink out of the way to pull of a perfect hook while your opponent has no idea you are there. Just imagine the possibilities if you were Pudge and did something like this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=snrjLuirfNY

Play HoN if you wanna Blink dagger with 'Pudge' :)

HoN has the exact same Hero with some minor tweeks.

Also Force staff is viable, but not accurate for what you want to do. I think its disabled because of terrain and reaching unreachable areas, same with Vengeful Spirit. Imagine getting stuck on that rock where you place wards because VS decided to troll you.

Hold the phone! There are DISABLED items for certain heroes?! This is news to me! Where is a list of these? I'm curious about them.
 
Blink Dagger on Vengful and Pudge. As far as I understand: It is a holdover from Dota 1 because that game didn't have cliffwalking (or something like that) and you could grief by blinking onto a cliff and hook/swap someone making them effectively stuck.
 
Are you sure? I don't think Icefrog balances around possible griefing, it's possible that blink on them would be too strong: basically VS would be able to swap without committing to the enemy's position.

Nope it was done cause it made players get stuck.
 
Just saw the most boss thing ever, Slardar gets mass serpent ward trapped in a team fight, and he just tps out, like a boss.

Sadly he's going to lose the game cause they have AM.
They lost cause they got out ganked and out pushed and killed Chen over and over. Replace AM with any other carry and they'd still win.
