Pretty sure Abaddon and Legion are both really close to being finished. Perhaps we will get...TWO HEROES!?!?!?!

Probably not though...

I think Abaddon is going to hit first, dispute LC being teased. We have his script, his textures have gotten the most work, and he is the only unreleased hero to be in the recently updated Announcer Guidelines.

Is it pretty much a requirement to have at least one ranged hero a two man lane? I've had some really nasty games recently where I was in a dual melee lane where we just couldn't farm or deny.

Preferably yes. There are exceptions like Undying who can be partnered with a melee carry in a lane because of how insane his lane presence is.
 
which is worth getting the Redbull Champions League ticket or Super League if I want to catch up on some of the asian plays?
 
Cant wait to try the new bloodstone...been playing Timbersaw and those two go hand-in-hand! lol

They should really make a Timbersaw announcer pack...
 
How does it work that item where you buy a team emblem?

It says that if you had won, your item drop will increase when you follow a certain team, it's that true?

With that will you know when a favorite team is playing?
 
I ask enchantress to buy wards or upgrade courier pls


Anwer: I am not a support I am a jungler, buy that stuff yourself

FML, i thought i was out of the trench

Nah, anyone can get an item drop. I think they might revamp the banner/emblems for TI3.

Imagine a teammate whos hoging your only courier the whole early game where you cant even get your wards from your stash..

Thats even worse.
 
How do the Dota 2 updates work? Like for 6.78 for example, do they release the patch in Dota 1 first then bring it over to Dota 2?

Icefrog updates WC3 Dota and then Valve brings it to parity (for the Heroes already proted over), usually within a week.

Parity is already on the test client, it should be on the main client within 24 hours.
 
When playing jungle Nature's Prophet,what are the timings to use ur Treants?
Oh and what items should I start with? I usually go with ring of basi + 2 clarities.
 
I just went lothars, ags, bkb, radiance, heart, bts on doom and it was amazing. I could Doom someone and chase them along with their entire team, Doom never felt so good.

The consensus from guides is to cast @ around 45 seconds prior to the game starting to scout for runes, 7 seconds before the match starts at fountain then @ around 30 seconds, when you're just starting to engage your first jungle creep group.

As for starting items, I've also seen people start with gloves of haste and 2 clarities for a super fast midas (usually around the 6 minute and change mark...could be faster with better micro). I myself have been practicing that but I realize it's probably not the way to go.

I watched a match last night with a NP that started ganking early on with a more aggressive early build (skipping midas altogether). Basically he went 3 branches, tangos and 2 clarities. jungled to lvl 3, with one point in each skill, then started to look for teleport pick off opportunities. After that, instead of maxing nature's call first (still took ulti @ the usual levels), he maxes teleport then nature's call. The guy was all over the map early game creating a numbers advantage with the reduced teleport cooldown while returning to the jungle when no opening was available to farm. Eventually he builds phase boots, shadowblade and has all components for sheepstick at around 17-18 min (game ended there- 2 racks down). His GPM wasn't insane (mid-high 400's) but the openings he created along with the subsequent tower pressure completely stifled the other team.
 
Does anyone go fast mek with Furion? I've seen a lot of Enigmas go mek before blink, or even before they upgrade their boots. Which I guess is for early tower pushing? I suppose the difference between the two heroes is that Furion is more about split-pushing and Enigma more likely to be pushing with the team.

Ya, really depends.  If you want to be gank/team fight or tower push

depends on how easy it is for them to get off the black hole. If there is no sure stuns you kind of don't need blink as quickly.

Shitstorm incoming as all the guides will be 6.77 based.

Also unknown when tourney/pro-play will have 6.78. They might let pubs beta-test it for a bit. But dreamhack is so close June 15-17.
Would be cool if it was the first pro LAN outside of TI

When I use him for towerpushing I usually go for a vlads instead. I allways start with Ring of bas and 2 clarity for jungling anyway.
And with vlads the trees can survive alot longer.

Dunno if it is stupid but it has worked pretty well for me so far.
