Which division are you talking about? The kill-steal mentality evaporates very quickly (high silver - low gold and up) the further you advance in the brackets.
You play too much support. Pick carries first, win the game with cheap heroes like Alchemist, phantom cancer, naix, ...

I'm pretty much exclusively playing solo off-lane these days since in pubs everyone immediately b-lines it to the safe lane. I don't mind it, but I'm typically playing a support character on top of it.
Trying to figure out what some good off-lane supports would be...my standard go-tos in these situations are Dark Seer and Windrunner, but I feel like I need more than these two to handle different team make-ups.
Any suggestions?

Not exactly a support but having good Bounty Hunter play is always useful.

Tidehunter, Beastmaster (you can stack and farm Ancients with your axes), Clockwerk (block your creeps with Power Cogs), Treant Protector, Omniknight (Repel). They are all durable and give a lot of utility to your team in the mid-game. Sand King can work too. Lich and Enigma can off-lane because you can deny your own creeps and make the enemy push the lane to your tower, giving you safe XP. Just be careful not to lose your tower early.

For some reason, i find the "ded gaem!!" meme pretty hilarious but where does the "Volvo" thing come from?

Clockwerk hands down
All you need is 6 and a bottle and you can wreak havoc on the enemy team, you also generally have gold because of rocket flares so you can build into bigger support items fairly easily (pipe or something)

I play a lot of random only, but what that really means is I just play a lot of sand king :\
I wish there was logic to say if player has randomed hero X this % of the time then dont include that hero in the random pool.

Well then that's not really random now is it.

I think they will drag it out but I don't think they'll do it as close to the international than that.
If it is late, they'll do it afterwards.
Edit: I don't think they're dragging it out for the hype or something. Just reckon they don't have enough resources for the initial influx.
dave is ok
aztek is ok
I wonder how much the playercards will sell for on the Steam Marketplace.
I could see Dendi and ixmikes going for a lot.

Pretty pleased with how this game went. I was a little confused with what to buy with all the gold. What would you guys suggest as Meepo's ideal 6 slots? I used to just buy as many hearts as possible, but I started to realize that there's diminishing returns at some point and you're better off adding in some damage items.
I was thinking something like BoTs, blink, scepter, eblade, and two skadis, dropping one in the fountain when it's time to go get aegis.
I'd love to hear what you guys think. Is the eblade worth it at all? Is it better to add in some sort of disable like sheepstick?
I usually go:
Aghs - 100% needed
Heart - HP
Vlads - Armor + Lifesteal for all clones, which at level 25 and with that attack speed comes in really handy.
Boots Of Travel - So OP on Meepo
Eblade - Dat agility
As 6th item you can go Skadi but now that AC stacks nice with vlads that might work or can throw blink in there of course. To replace vlads and get AC. Starting out with tranq boots and building those into vlads later is so nice.
does it matter? if you can go full 6 slotted meepo you are probably going to win the game anyways (if you are playing with a competent team, of course) .
I rather go BoT, Reaver, Dagger, Scepter, Vlads and a Mek and win the game as soon as possible, before anyone else catches up with my imba xpm/gpm bonus

Timber is so yesterday. I'm bringing back Tide offlane.

I'm changing my opinion on Sange&Yasha. Pretty good stats all around and it is pretty damn good on heroes that lack movement speed like Skeleton King and Dragon Knight.
Those two in particular are pretty damn fun with Shadow Blade, Drums, Phase and S&Y.

Depends on the hero I'd say. Levels are more important for the solo off laner early on. To me, getting gold is just a bonus. More than anything you just want to stay alive, get your levels and then go help your team wreck other lanes...
I have a little experience with 3D modelling and want to practice, I also want to try my hand at making Dota cosmetics. Might as well kill two birds with one stone right?
Could anyone point me in the direction of some good tutorials/info? I know there is the workshop site itself but I'd appreciate anything else

I think it just needs to be disassemble-able. Gives you the option of turning it into heart + something else like battlefury or a bloodstone maybe.

Or maybe make it part of the heart recipe or something. Heart with block hmm

That was embarrassing by AM.
You (the person with Vanguard) take the damage blocked instead.
Doto is a really old misspelling of Dota, now sure where it comes from. But people decided to keep theme, and replace all the vowels in Valve with O's, making Valve Volvo.

Would be awesome if it was "give"able to supports.
Oh yes, this would be even better.
Active: Saviour
Cost: 50 mana

Redirects all damage done to your target to you.
Depends. If you're Dark Seer i don't expect anything less than 200.

Then, pop blade mail.
Would be really over powered though, could see a hero getting a similar skill.
