I really like playing Puck, but I don't play it nearly enough to have down the reflexes I should on Phase Shift, so I end up not getting that much utility out of it.

So what are you guys doing with your player cards? I got 6 of them but Im not sure if I want to stamp them before I know what the rewards would be and how valuable they are. Then again theres still a month for these cards to drop so playing regularly Ill probably end up with like 25 of them

Seems like you want to get full teams so maybe it makes sense to trade them first to get a full set

One day I realized that sadness is just another word for not enough coffee.
wtf they lied to me I couldn't tell on my laptop so I believed them.

Ah right, your 240p laptop.

Of course you couldn't see TA's tits.

I bet your dick was so confused.

How long did it usually take most of you guys to find *your* hero? I'm still searching for one I like best.. :/

Or maybe I just need to suck less, lol.

When you'll get good, you wont stick to 1 hero anyway.

In my beginnings I played more than 250 games with sand king alone... and now I almost never pick him. I have a stable of about 25/30 heroes that I can play pretty good at any time, and I'm always learning 1 or 2 new ones whenever I can.

God I'm having the worst fucking day in this game today.

I just had the worst Luna game ever where I was in lane with a Dazzle against a Tiny and Lina, we did absolutely nothing and they always managed to land a Lina stun on me and I was dead from there every fucking time. Couldn't get any farm. (It's still going)

long story short, once i had a 20 games lead then dota took it away and i started winning again when i was 2 wins ahead, bounced back to 23 games lead, im back at 16. dota please dont take it away again!!!!!

also ive hit a point where when im suppor y buy ward, deward, stack camps, you know being a good support yet the carries play game of throws.

ok so i choose to play carry and i dont get any of those. why would you go for dagon 5 instead of hex, what is 400 burst gonna do against a super tanky hero like brstle ugh. fuck puck dagon

play in stacks i guess. still i usually play with one other friend and well 2 isnt normally good enough.

High bracket gaf recruit me! (ive checked my some of my matches and when i play in higher bracket games i have a much better win rate, than when i play normal bracket matches.)

So guys I need some Lycan advice.

I'm using the highest rated build, a jungling one, but, I feel like I'm jungling super slow :/

any thing I can do to speed the process up? I don't want to feel like I'm not contributing anything.

What are your item timings looking like? Lycan was heavily nerfed for jungling so it is a bit on the slow side.
 
When did Vlad's/Shiva's Doom get popular? Is it purely for the armour stack?

EDIT: oh the aura stack as well. I guess Vlad's/AC would work too

I'm not even sure on the timings..like..14 minutes or so for a vlad? That's just a guess, it also didn't help that the pudge on our team was super amazing, so we gg'd in about 20 minutes or so, lol.

I didn't know he was nerfed, should I lane instead then? Or still try to jungle?
 
Need advice...

http://dotabuff.com/matches/233778716

I know I fucked up hard in this match (fed nyx blindly teleported in to defend and died etc)...but I'm not sure how to approach the midgame in this case...what items should I have built? etc? I'm kinda confused about NP itemization in general (I know he's not super hard but should I have gone sheep earlier?)

Every time I play Slark mid I feel like a living god. He's so fucking broken I have uncontrollable mad evil laughs while chasing and killing everyone right left and center. Pls don't fix IceFrog.

Level 1 jungle lycan is 100% trash

Lane till lvl 4 or 5, so you can get lvl 2 or 3 wolves
Then jungle. You should have the basics required for the jungle by then

kk, ill do that!

Also what's a good K/D/A for support?

Just went 2/7/6 as Venomancer..I need more practice definitely, but i didn't know if that was a bad start or not. I know supports arent about the kills really.

Looks great! Love the helm. Cape looks more wingy than a cape, although since it's presumably off a frost wyrm it makes some sense. Just looks a little QoP-y to me.

Looks awesome but the hat is weird. :/

If your deaths/kills are even and you have over 20 assists youre doing good

Just played a game as Warlock. Went 11/11/27

Anuxi, I think this is going to be another one of your polarising sets.

Yeah but my sets are like that so I don't mind haha

Man I need to have a pop at warlock. People keep telling me to play him as a support but I'm too addicted to veno right now. And Venge, I like Venge :D

Warlock is somewhat boring I feel. Insanely powerfull and equally easy to play.

Yeah someone said I just spam fatal bonds and use R in teamfights. Sounds super fun :p

I need to work on my positioning more. I played a game last night with veno and got something like 14 kills, 9 in the first 15 minutes so the other team was really farmed on me. I then started paying way more attention to where I was positioned in teamfights, Even though our omni knight left us at 23 minutes, we went on to defeat the opposing team thanks to jungle stacks and a very farmed Naix.

Shit, positioning is something I don't pay enough respect to, but should.

Im gonna play so much doto tomorrow!
 
Aww yiss. Losing streak broken with 4 in a row. Last one was great. Troll on our team says gg end it plz, and I as medusa finish my manta and the game takes a haard turn in our favour, im nigh impossible to kill without a full stack.
