So there's an alternate build of leveling up his cc first? Or do you just put one point and level up the poison like I have been?

I have only been able to play him against bots, which usually just stand there and let you poison them. No idea if I would be able to hit a good opponent with poison.

Max disruption and soul catcher. Poison isn't mana efficient, and easy to dodge.
 
DoTA isn't balanced for public level play. Some heroes are far easier and far stronger at lower levels of play.
Discuss.

Obviously, especially solo queue. Certain heroes require too much coordination to deal with.
 
Test client updated again earlier today, wonder if they will port over all of that now tonight.

Hasn't Archie been saying Shadow Demon was coming out for over a week now and everyone was telling him he was wrong?
 
- Fixed sound not muting when Dota 2 loses focus.

NOOOOOO, I thought this was a feature! I actually liked it, since I have dual monitors.

Any way to set borderless windowed on one monitor? I have 3, but it stretches to all of them if I go borderless. :(

Edit: wtf... Nevermind. It suddenly works.
 
We knew it was him or Lycan most likely for several weeks.

Archie has been calling Shadow Demon for at least two weeks and everyone else in the GAF mumble kept saying he was wrong.

They bitches now.

Valve isn't an indie dev.

And Shadow Demon is before Lycan in the minimap icon list, which has been adding heroes in order of release.

I like the bombastic 'Found Game' sound since I always alt-tab out to browse GAF while matchmaking is busy doing its thing.

Ahh, that's what that does? (I never play)

League has a feature similar to that, not sure about HoN. It's nice to have.
 
So at my low scrub level it seems like Ursa and his early Roshan's are stupid powerful. Is there a way to counter this besides just warding Roshan?

Ward roshan (possibly with sentries so you can see him if he smokes), early ganks, keep track of when he gets vlads, watch out for SK/Ursa picks since they often try to level 1 roshan.
 
So I played a game as Chen and Furion was on the team. We had mega creeps 28 minutes in. Enemy team just wouldn't stop pushes. No tps, very little team play, I also believe for a good push Centaur, Wildkin and Satyr give the best auras imo.
 
Sometimes you get paired up with the most stupidest people ever. Had a Blood Seeker who came in late to a team fight, no big deal.

We had killed their BH who had not one, but two divine rapiers. I got one and so did a riki. An invoker killed me shortly after, but I got to take him with me. Dropped the DR basically at BS's feet and a gem too, and dude decides defending top tower was more important than grabbing those items.
 
Can I run this on a 2011 MacBook Pro? i5 processor but integrated graphics. I saw someone post they play on their MacBook but the game seems so poorly optimized for lower end computers. Anyone familiar? Would love to play at other peoples houses or the library on break. Bootcamp ofcourse.

Aren't there two different 2011 models? (early vs. late?) Do you know what integrated card it has?

edit: nvm, I guess it's the Intel HD Graphics 3000
And to be honest, I don't know, I could play Dota 2 on 800x600 on my P8400 with a Geforce 9600m GT, which is a better graphics card but a much worse processor
