I got Invoker by randoming once, and I did much better then I thought I would (playing him as an initiator/support). I could definitely feel that with a few more games under my belt I'd be comfortable switching between all ten spells, the problem is that I'm worried about dragging down the rest of the team while I'm learning...

The thing about Invoker is, if you ever start messing up your spells, just try to calm down and stick to the stand bys until you do. You're better off right clicking and using a spell or two than messing up your spells and using the wrong ones.

I have tried to stay with few spells but i kept getting the wrong ones. The some dude kept asking me for red fire spells lol
 
Is it bad for me getting the Blood Stone before getting boots for Death Prophet? Most of the time it works but when I'm playing with a team that sticks together, I usually die >__>

Why don't you get arcanes and disassemble them to build the bloodstone? Is what I usually do when aiming for the bloodstone.

Just get arcane boots. It gives her the mana to spam her spells, helps your team out, and you can disassemble it for ur bloodstone when you get the money for it.

Ah, yeah, sorry, I get the Perseverance and then the parts to make the Soul Stone.

That's pretty cool. I know two of those items are obtainable in game/buying tshirt, not familiar with axe's item.

As long as they aren't unique models like riot's are, I don't mind.
Click to expand...

Why is it a problem if they are unique? Do you have to get every item ever created in Dota? I like the idea of one-off special items every once in awhile.

not yet i dont think.

Usually theyll tell you right in the description its bundled with code for in game item. naturally I could be wrong but this how the TF2 stuff goes (archimedes bird/baloonicorn).

Im thinking of begging in the pax thread for a tshirt/code (paid with paypal of course lol)

Lets make a begging thread!
 
I've been playing around with Batrider and I'm sure I'm probably doing this wrong...but I find it hard to farm with him to get to blink dagger/force staff combo. His turning speed and movement speed in general is just super slow...
 
I want that PAX stuff :(

Can't really read what the Drow thing is supposed to be though.

Hopefully they'll be on sale later and the PAX cards are just free promos. That or begging thread (from people who don't intend to play Dota 2).

First blood, and assist gold.

Batrider does very well in these positions:

Solo mid against melee

Side Lane with ranged against melee

Side Lane with a stun

Side Lane with a slow.

Spam that Q, everytime the enemy come in for a last hit, slow, auto attack, slow, auto attack. Make them burn through their tangoes. As soon as you hit 6 become super aggressive, you go through magic immunity so go wild, get as many kills and assists as possible. You drop off around mid game, so make sure you get as many early game kills as possible.

Build utility, blink, force, sheep etc. Survivability is also good, but utility first, pipe, AC, veil etc.

I keep laughing when I look at the TI2 hero stats. Bounty one of the most successful heroes? Veno the best support? Enigma and Shadow Demon getting trashed repeatedly? It's like GAF has got the current meta figured out with the exception of Chen and Enchantress.

How normal is it for video game tournaments to be in a theater like that? The mental image I always have is of a bunch of folding chairs in like a convention center but I have no idea how accurate that is.

There is the dream arena for Dreamhcak, but other than that it's mostly convention centers and hotel ballrooms.

I always thought bh was extremely good in pub settings, never thought of his application in competitive games. Track gold really does make him the most valuable ganker, esp with the buff he got recently.
 
I really need to stop playing Single Draft. By far the highest amount I seem to encounter of idiots who don't know how to play (which is fine) but think they do and have a vocabulary consisting of "noob" and "team noob"
