I am going to have to come up with the most bullshit possible strats to do on Daily Dota.

Bounty hunter, sniper, and riki for Team Gank Brad.

 

[Enco]

1. Find Match

The circle of Dota.

 

[Radec]

Damn, would have bet on Mouz if I wasn't in the office earlier. :/

 

[Aaron]

Black's net worth is crazy.

 

[Heavy's Sandvich]

Another massive result.

I love me some Black.

 

[CarbonatedFalcon]

- 5 Medallions
- Support heroes carry and carry heroes support
- Team Skeletons
- Team Waifus

Venge carry would work for the first one. Also Veno carry.

I'll think of some more ideas for strats to add as well later, but I'm just about to head out.

 

[Complex Shadow]

[Aaron]

I've uninstalled Dota 2 three times now. It never lets go for long.

Of course you can... I wish you luck, sir.

I remember having fun with friends in lan using a 5 man dagon team, plus Lion plus Lina. So much fun.

Rapiers for everyone!

 

[Gully State]

Go for an amp magic lineup build. Veil of Discord/Eblade/dagon etc...

 

[Heavy's Sandvich]

I bought a new keyboard, I'm struggling to know where my buttons are without having to take a second.

Too used to my old keyboard.

Now I know how Tiger Woods feels.

 

[KingKong]

Devote all your energy to focusing on and killing Brad

 

[TommyT]

Naix + Riki + Furion. Sprout, Blink Strike, Infest.

or

Naga Siren + Refresher - bait a team fight and have them slept while you split push a tower down.

or

Chen, Enchantress (again), Necro, and whomever else - Everyone get HotD and Necronomicons and Manta's!

 

[Heavy's Sandvich]

Colour co-ordinate and go for shadow blade on all heroes.

Or go Riki and laugh.

 

[I H8 Memes]

Go for massive damage reduction strat + BKB's. Make them feel useless in every teamfight. You wouldnt even have to fight back.

 

[scotcheggz]

Anyone know how to force the AI to move in bot matches? I've been playing as Lich and when I place wards at the start they always leave me to be a solo mid, which is fine, but I'd rather practice being support more.

Anyway, after three days of bot matches, I just went 3/0/9 which gives me a bit more confidence to jump in with real people... maybe. At least I feel like I'm starting to understand the very basics :\

 

[Heavy's Sandvich]

Pinging used to work. Ping the hero the ping the place you want them to go to.

 

[Nymerio]

Nature's Prophet, Spirit Breaker, Spectre, Wisp and Sand King. SB initiates, Prophet and Spectre port in, Wisp relocates a Sand King with Ulti.

Probably old as hell but still funny to me :/

Oh I do like Wisp + big ult. Bring back carry Tide!

 

[Drkirby]

Do team Ice and do cheeky game of thrones quotes the entire game.

Blue strat
red strat

Archer strat

 

[Inversive]

USA dota at its finest, EG :lol:

 

[balladofwindfishes]

Blue strat
red strat

Archer strat

are there enough archers?

Clinkz
Drow
Windrunner
Medusa
Mirana

yea, just enough to make it a team, but there wouldn't be any variation.

 

[Moobabe]

You get chat banned and flagged as "disruptive"...

Picking shit team comp and playing like shit is far more disruptive but there's no report option for that

 

[Schweinehund]

My favorite is troll team.

Dazzle, Huskar, Troll Warlord, Batrider, Rhasta.

it be good fun man.

 

[TommyT]

There's nothing, nor should there be, that prevents people from picking whatever hero they want to play or however they want to play it (I don't include intentionally feeding or ability abuse as the 'how' in this case - and there are reports for that).

You can always play in an IHL if you want to have those factors count against people as they usually have rules against that.

Picking a fourth and fifth melee hero with no stuns in a RD game isn't fun for anyone.

Probably fun for the people that picked them, hence why they picked them. This game shouldn't prevent people from picking heroes they enjoy playing.

edit (again): I bet you lost the game you're talking about. Which means, it was probably fun for the people that won the game. So yeah, fun for a few people if not the majority.

[CarbonatedFalcon]

Another good one is only purple heroes, with only purple items.

You could also go with only fish/water heroes.

Lightning heroes is always good too (Zeus, Razor, Leshrac, Storm, Disruptor - with maybe one or two more qualifying)

Ice is nice is also decent.

Magitech heroes only.

All skeletons, previously mentioned, is a classic.

I'll try and think of some more unusual combos though.

I can't wait for techies. I bet there will be one for trench techies.

Low priority pool is the worst shit ever.

I've always wanted to mess around with healing team: dazzle solo offlane, mid necrolyte, Chen in the jungle and safe lane Juggernaut with Leshrac (which breaks the theme but has great synergy with the rest). As soon as you hit 6-7 on the core heroes and you get Mek on the necro you just group and push every single tower. Of course you need to ban AA.

 

[caesar]

This EG - Alliance game is tragic.

 

[Deadly]

Change to Lion's head...again.

 

[Schweinehund]

oi whar's my fukin waifu commander.

Atleast it's something, probably more helpful for the game's health than new heroes, especially with launch around the corner. Free sniper set too, can't complain.

 

[BigAT]

Imagine how good EG would be if Dota games were only 20 minutes long?

 

[Heavy's Sandvich]

If I were EG management I'd be furious with that second game and Demon's performance.

Wat.

 

[xanavi]

Demon stole my shadow blade keeper build. Only difference is that I actually get a mek first before I go off and play like an asshole.

:O, do they share the same cooldown?

Yes, of course.

Is he a bat or is he a cat?

edit: Wait. Lion.
