Dota 2 Beta Thread V: Real Talk Strikes Back [Tutorials]

Tho farming Nyx and jungling Tinker is kinda interesting.

But if you think about it, Ice Shards + Flare could be pretty devastating. The Sprout + Flare is pretty good too.
 
The one guy I know that works at Riot mentioned she's supposed to be Invoker (her skills do different things based on certain conditions).

I say this is bullshit since me and a buddy were annoying him about how there was no Invoker port in LoL.

That is a weird way to describe invoker. I doubt league will ever make a hero where you actively micro for more than 10 seconds (I was so disappointed when I played yorick, described as a minion master...) or one that has more than 5 skills (udyr almost broke it). Their target audience simply does not like/care about having a hero who is a "burden" to play. IIRC Zileas made an argument about how complexity != fun, I think people wanted swain's dot to function like witch doctor's maledict, or at one point it did, and they changed it. One of the reasons my friend won't get into dota is because using items are much more active and require extra keybindings, that enough turned him off.

I keep missing these games with the new hero picks :(. I actually think tusk is underrated, he's amazing.
 
Yeah also Clock vs. Skywrath is probably a bad idea. I mean yeah cogs mana burn, but if the Skywrath isn't in the cogs, and doesn't get knocked away by them, it's suicide.

And Jerax is pretty much the worst Nyx ever.
 
Nah, I bet you Valve doesn't even implement both. Fearless Badger had a Dire Version but nothing came with it, only the green variation made it into the game.

I wish they had continued to enforce this. Treated it as if it were team colors in TF2. It really wouldn't have changed anything other than minor color variants, but some contributors could have really taken it far (like a Dire Shagbark could have looked wicked).

These games were lost at the draft.

And Select needs to learn to play something else. His Magnus is not very good. Probably shouldn't be on such a high impact hero.

He totally missed a skewer on alch in the end... or maybe he just wanted to get away, looked like a miss though.

Does anybody know who won the Malaysia vs Singapore match last night? Malaysia had Invasion. Gigabyte, Invasion. MUFC & Orange while Singapore had Zenith, Neo.Int & First Departure (I think).
 
I just unboxed my first unusual (across TF2 or Dota), hurray! Thank you Valve for forcing me to add $5 to my account, even though I only wanted to spend $2. Ended up grabbing a key with the remaining balance, opened one chest and voilà.

Nice! Congrats on that unusual unboxing.

I need help. A friend likes to play with Vengeful Spirit, but he's bad at it, or at least I don't remember any match where it went well.

He usually goes support, but sometimes goes carry when playing solo if he gets fed (rarely, I guess).

What situations this hero excels at? I thought it would be excellent against squishy heros / channeling, but I can't think any more than that. However this dota buff stats tell me vengeful spirit's worst nighmare is sand king, which is a bit weird...

If u want to see some data, here's the last match:
http://dotabuff.com/matches/188167356I went mid with magnus, and it was ok.... but at the minute 15 we were already losing 2-10. The guys on bot lost to an axe and warlock combo very hard.

Thanks. :) I'm known for having absolute terrible luck when it comes to any form of gambling, so I was pretty stoked to unbox an unusual. He'll see a lot of action.

Congratulations! It is one of the coolest couriers, and the efect is pretty nice on it. Hypno frog!

Just got an email from League of Legends saying they are going to remove my Summoner's Name due to inactivity, unless I log in by next week.

I aint even mad.

EDIT: Correction, it's my summoners name they are removing. Don't know if that means my account tied to email will still be active (ie. all my microtransactions). Also, I got the email because I was level 5.

Wait they can do that? What if you bought the Collectors pack and done all the micro-transactions?
