Honestly why do any of you still have heroes you've never played?

I dunno

 

[inkls]

I really want to get into meepo, but I just can't get the hang of him

 

[Artanisix]

oracle is a shit hero you don't need to play that guy

worst heroes of 6.84

1. sven
2. oracle
3. elder titan

Why not try him in a game if you want to get into the hero?

*i can't get the hang of him in bot games is what I should have written

 

[J2d]

I think I have something like 40 unplayed heroes. Used to be a lot more but hero challenges have forced me to try out some new ones. I hate playing more micro intensive characters and clear mid ones since I feel like I have too much pressure on me.

Fuck bot games. You're not gonna actually learn anything there. Just play the hero in a real game.

I don't play farming carries. Boring hitting creeps

Problem is you lose MMR if you play ranked with a new hero, because MMR is not just player-dependent, it is hero-dependent too.

 

[SecretMoblin]

you guys need to stop playing all pick and get some single draft or all random going

preach, best modes

I've definitely played some of those in regular games (Magnus recently, SS/Omni/White Drow for sure) so I don't know how dotabuff calculates that. I've played all of the heroes several times in bots but those ones are probably most out of my comfort zone for sure. I'd much rather random Chen than Pudge.

Meh you can practice things like blink poofing 5 meepos, other than that, better to play real games.

Spoiler

I still can't poof all my meepos fast enough

Are you serious? How about

1) Play unranked
2) Don't care so much about 25 MMR

Take your pick.

How can you expect to learn a hero if you are scared to play them in a real game? And how can you ever truly understand how to play against a hero if you've never played it yourself?

Right, practice and bots are good for mechanical practice but it's no substitute in any way for playing a real match.

except how to get the basics down without penalizing people i queue with?

Well he has explicitely said he doesn't care about MMR multiple times so he can't be serious~

do people actually believe this

 

[Wok]

Play unranked

This is what I do. Still feel bad for teammates.

I only play support Riki in ranked.

 

[poppedcollar69]

i believe that is 70% true

[Monochromaticx]

what the fuck is this

you guys are blowing my mind

lool
I play alot of all pick and manly like playing supports so these heroes just don't even cross my mind.

Maybe I should play random draft and the other modes but don't want to go below 50% winrate.

[Artanisix]

oracle's spells suck

also what the hell, that china tournament with c9 vg empire etc starts tonight

 

[Dreams-Visions]

Have you guys actually just never played the heros in your lists? Not in a bot game or anything?

I've played Meepo once: in DireTide.

I have never played Techies, nor do I desire to do so.

I have played everyone else at least twice, IIRC.

 

[Haly]

They really do. Froggu dropped the ball on Oracle, went too burden of knowledge for his own good.

 

[JambiBum]

?

Yep they made an announcement on their steam forums and there's a thread going on about it.

 

[kionedrik]

Another 4 stack

Another loss

I'm really tempted to start asking at the loading screen if they are a 4 stack. If so this guy is dodging that shit.

In response to last page, here are the proper Lina cosmetics:

I played all of them in bots and some in some in houses

Why do people like the librarian bun so much?

 

[NBtoaster]

People shouldn't be afraid to try techies. The hero is actually so solid.

yeah I thought oracle's ulti change looked good on paper, but in actuality the hero just feels like shit.

TB/Troll make up the bottom 3 with him IMO.

[rhophiehalul78]

3000 hours and I have played everyone. (maybe less since I spectate/"coach" often)
I completed the all hero challenge once and now just random errday,
Heroes I have most trouble with are Naga, SF, Leshrac, IO, Storm Spirit and probably other mid heroes I forgot.

I enjoy playing WD, Disruptor, Jakiro, Omniknight, CM, Ogremagi, Lion and Spectre.
Supporting is fun. I'm always finding new ways to improve my positioning and impact on the map. I think I need to improve on stacking creeps too since it's hard to cram it with other supporting tasks.

Edit: I tuned in to TheFluffiestBunny you guys mentioned. Wtf did I just watched????? She was dancing to animu music with cat-like steps.
