Once again, if you're new to Dota and join an IH please let people know, it'll make things easier for everyone.
 
"And there goes Xanthe.

Whether or not he was meeru, we'll never know!"


He was.

Wow I never understood why he was so mad all the time at people for no reason in chat. Him being Meeru would be more understandable, still salty I guess can't let go having withdraw symptoms resulting in the dude going crazy. I guess he must have been masking his play to be mediocre lol this guy.


At least certain people will stop saying Xanthe was my butt buddy now o_O

Milkman and him were best friends.
 
Played my first game against an invoker last night, the only spells I saw him cast were summon spirit, sonic wave, and occasionally invisibility.
 
I am so close to having more wins than losses.

dota 2 + real life friends + skype = the best

Skip the middle man, use the in-game voice chat. Otherwise I agree: Premade teams stomp all, especially when there's infighting on the other team, which is hilarious to watch.

yah ok sure
 
trolling is a art
Bro I woke up like 20 minutes ago, hop off, but really, the Crystal Maiden in my game didn't get Nova till level 5, and she just kept running around by my ranged creep, how do I get her to attack, do I always have to initiate?

My favorite thing is when they barely have any health and just pace back and fourth in one spot just in the fog. Like you don't know they're there.

All my bots said "I'm Out" when they were leaving, but somehow the windrunner kept dying bottom to a solo tide, I think she didn't get Windrun or something. Whoever at Valve does the hero item builds / bot skill builds needs an evaluation, they across the board are fucken awful.
 
You said you speak Sweedish in game, right? There might be more speakers of that language on the Europe servers so they understand you. It may be dominated by English-speakers though.

Oh, ye, I always play on Europe :p (unless it's an IH)

But what I meant is that I use vent/skype/mumble with my friends and speak Swedish, and chances are that the last player/s won't be able to understand Swedish even on the EU server.
So yeah, you're right, most people speak English (mostly because it's the only language pretty much everyone in Europe can understand)

In my experience the only way you can influence your bot allies is to issue a defend/attack towers warning. Even then it's a crapshoot.

Also, it seems like bots without human teammates have more cohesive teamwork and all working in sync. It puts you at a disadvantage since you're not included in their coordination as a player.
 
Is it just me or does Invoker's Ice Wall look exactly the same as Dark Seer's ultimate?

As someone with little experience in Dota 1, Invoker is the coolest fucking hero to watch a good player play. I'm sure I'm far from the first person to realize this, but it's true all the same.

Landing a good Sunstrike is SO satisfying.
 
Tried playing a Bot game this morning, their so fucken stupid.

Dude, be happy you tried it after this patch.

Coming from testing all heroes I didn't know from HoN in bot matches, let me tell you last patch is a godsend in that regard. Friendly Earthshaker actually letting me last hit and focusing on denying and harassing to an extent in my lane instead of competing with my carry? So good.

Still bad though. Also they respond faster to ping commands now.
 
Every game I've played as invoker so far has seen me get huge assists but very little kills. The utility offered from Wex/Quas is great but maaaan I wish exort builds were viable >:
 
I've played invoker thrice and lost all 3 times D:. Can't seem to level up quickly enough. Doesn't help that I can't get the timing down for last-hitting.

I think an exort-focused build can be pretty good if your team has good disables already. Meteor and Alacrity are great if applied well.

Enemies are still so easy to kill and out level when playing a carry. And that's on Unfair.

For added fun, try playing against a Windrunner bot on -wtf mode.

What, because having a Sun Strike nuke on ANY LOCATION OF THE MAP is not viable?

Pretty hard to hit considering the delay and the damage isn't as good as the damage from Tornado / EMP in the Wex build, at least from what I saw from 1.09 playing yesterday.
