I played Pudge again last night, I got first blood and the next 2/3 kills for my team, and ended up with like 15 kills total, most kills of the game and a ton of assists etc as well. Plus we won. But I notice that the second you miss 1 hook the entire team calls you bad. Pudge is my main hero, I know how to play him and how to hook right, misses happen. Why do pub idiots immediately say you are bad? I don't get it, have they never played Pudge them selfs or something?

Pubs gonna pub. The most frustrating thing is when you're playing Pudge and someone screams at you, "HOOK CMON!!!!!! OMFG!!!" It's like, do you REALLY think I'm not actively looking to use my only range skill? Seriously? And yeah as stated before, it's that pub mentality that "oh man I'm way better than everyone in this game, everyone else sux, let me criticize them and show them how pro i am np np"

Also I would so buy a Tobi announcer pack.

It's pretty funny though, this game it was a Bounty Hunter saying it of all heroes. Just wonder why pub people think 1 missed hook means you are bad sometimes. But then again pubs are filled with trash anyway.

Or something like that. Pubs man, pubs.

[Finalow]

first game with lycan, I failed a lot at the start but went pretty well.

like, why can't I take rosh solo with vlads?

 

[Uriah]

How do you counter Lycan? I haven't played against him yet, but when he was on my team we steamrolled the opposing team.

 

[dorkimoe]

lycan is no match for us

 

[Sibylus]

Try picking up a Medallion of Courage. Will reduce Roshan's armor into the negative assuming you pick it up early enough, which will buff up your own damage and reap you more lifesteal regen.

 

[Artanisix]

Beastmaster does really well against Lycan (you can place a Hawk over Rosh and he'll never be able to pull lit off). Windrunner too. Extra armor is always good so Lich is great as well.

Yeah but Lich is food for Lycan.

 

[Artanisix]

If you're roaming around alone sure.

 

[Schweinehund]

Single draft fun fun. I do that as shadowfiend who I've played like 6 times total, but I can't win games playing as bane/veno with a lycan.


Anyone else just finding themselves in games full of terrible lycans? Out of my 8 or so games I've played only one was memorable.

 

[Haly]

Morphling > Lycan trufax.

Kinda like terrible Shadow Demons

 

[BeesEight]

Kinda like terrible Shadow Demons

I'm predicting terrible Lone Druids next week.

People figured out SD was hard to play pretty fast though. He's usually open to picking unless Milk takes him first

 

[Sgt.Pepper]

What are some recommended end game Lina items? So far I've been sticking to Veil of Discord, Eul's Scepter of Divinity, Blink Dagger (or Force Staff), and Scythe of Vyse.

 

[TyrantGuardian]

Man, played with a Lycan who used his Howl maybe twice throughout the game, even though he had it maxed. Like, what in the hell?

 

[Sibylus]

I'm predicting terrible Lone Druids next week.

Ditto, doubly so being that he'll be on the test client.

Daedelus, heart, armlet if you're ballin. Her passive makes her a very good auto attacker in team fights, and really, when it hits 40 minutes in Laguna blade is only gonna do so much.

Milkman made me play with one of his friends that went armlet on Lina.

I don't know if I was more angry at milkman or his friend.

2 games now the enemy team has had enigma/lycan/darkseer combo

Both games, I couldn't care less about the lycan, but couldn't do anything anyway because of the others.

I had invo/nature's prophet/lycan/crystal maiden/anti mage team today...

Felt bad when we lost because they were terrible .

 

[HenryHSH]

Just played the worst game ever. 5 minutes in and my teammates die about 8 times to tiny and lycan. Love matchmaking /s

 

[Sanjay]

SD is easy, with Disruption & Shadow Poison you can't lose mid unless counter picked, ganked or sat on.

 

[BishopLamont]

Just got the invite after waiting since the dawn of the beta signups came up. Finally.

So any Gaffers up for some games? is there a private channel/group at all?

 

[Tenck]

Wish they would figure stuff like that even quicker. Worst was probably Invoker *shudder*

Edit:

Channel NeoGaf. Just click the '+' button next to the main channel you are and scroll down to the N's and you'll see it.

Whenever there are inhouses going on you will see an announcement followed by the password, which is usually 'neogaf' .

Thanks. You playing? I'm on.

 

[Guesong]

Tenck did my friend ever stop being a moron and eventually accepted your friend invite to get that DotA invite? Or at least the friend invite so you can actually gift it. Even though, well, that's pretty bad mannered for him to do nothing.

If not, feel free to random the beta to a GAFfer or something, I'm done trying to give him something on a silver platter and him not budging an inch.

 

[Risible]

That last bit is the answer. Pubbers love blaming everyone else for a lose. My Lion game I was basically accused of losing the game single handedly because of some poor plays despite saving their lives or assisting/performing the majority of kills.

Also, our Storm Spirit disconnected five minutes in against a heavy pushing Lycan/Furion team. But, nope, it was totally that missed Earth Spike that lost it.

I do find it odd that I'm the only one that calls 'gj' or comments on teammates' decent plays.

Yeah, I see that all the time.

I was mid as SK against WR. He would keep me at pay with his range (naturally). He was talking endless shit about how good he was at keeping me away - of course, I was sandstorming my way to an early blink, getting mad cash.

He talked shit about his team the whole time after we started owning them, and we won real early, like in 20 minutes. His final score? 0-3-0. WTF.

I kept messaging him to see if he really wanted it, haven't heard anything from him since. I can gift it to him easily, but I'd like to know if he's interested enough to actually stick with it. I'll try one last time today.

 

[Gully State]

Check your inventory...Looks like they started handing out more extra invites...

 

[Drkirby]

So, what would be the best way to screw over Lycan's Jungle? Which camps should I ward off, and would it be better to stop a camp from spawning at :30 and 1 minute, or to stack it?

 

[Dmax3901]

So I'm really shit at this game. It infuriates me.

Stack a hard camp, ward the easy

He can't deal with stacks at all low level, you can slow him down considerably by stacking two of them, unless he gets someone to help. But he'll just sit in the jungle longer and come out with a necro and a bkb and push push push

 

[HenryHSH]

Another up. Need 1 more.

 

[SteveWinwood]

All my graphics stuff has been fucked since this last patch. It turns everything (and I mean everything) to off or low. It doesn't take when I reset them to where they are supposed to be (it says I need to reset), but whenever I launch the game again it just defaults to everything off again. Maybe I just set up the damn autoexec finally.

 

[Sanjay]

Game was nice. So fun beating trashtalkers.
