Fucking hell, yet another hood I have to collect impulsively.

Is anyone else having trouble with the build creator? My builds come up as undefined and I just get an error when I try to edit or view them. If I make new builds they won't save. Common?
I just tried saving a custom build aswell, and it wont let me save it. Bug?

So, im in a game against a KOTL and Bounty Hunter. My teammate tonight says "gondar bottom, care", and I think it's no big deal. Why would I be afraid of KOTL? After all, only a creepy old man on a horse could have a name like Gondar.
I died.
That's what you get for not playing war3 dota!

If they dodge again do you just get a W?
you mean after you play the limited heroes match with real people?

puck has to be my favorite hero in this game; mobile, useful, and fun as hell to play
What goodies do you get if you max out each of the tutorial categories?
I'm going through the new additions just now myself, and I gotta say I'm mightily tempted to take my own amateur stab at one. Come quickly, Dota SDK!
I really hope Valve still adds voice acting to the tutorials. The first tutorial is fully set up to have it, but Valve simply made all the lines dummy audio tracks.
I dont understand this. Wind is probably the one support i suck with. I think i have 10 loses and 3 wins with her. I can never land good hackleshots

I've played her a lot. 50/50 or pretty close to it. Haven't played her much in recent times though since I had so many games of her when I first started to play.
And random anecdote: Hasted Earthshaker is one of the best first blood combos. Just run to mid and trap them in the river. Mid hero doesn't even necessarily need a stun or nuke themselves - with nowhere to go, the opposing mid should just die from right clicks. Unless it's like Puck or something that can orb over the wall.
Earth Shaker is really under appreciated as a support. 3 stuns and the ability to turn a fight around with his ult.
In fail of the week this week a Magnus skewers an ES backing into his whole team + creep wave. Bad move
So do Critter Eggs drop, or has Valve not developed and released them as yet?
Also, I got a Fluffnstuff. Besides his fabulous hairstyle, what can I do with him? Doesn't seem to be on the marketplace, and I'm not sure what stamping him in my Compendium does.
This is what I feared. Guess I'm grinding lore pages.
To date the nerdiest thing I have ever uttered.
Hmm... I'll have to take a look at the set and see if I would bethink it worthwhile.

Apparently you get the rest of the set.
But you're forgetting that Gibuses went super saiyan every year or something.

That would be one Sven sword worth having.

ROFL! oh man, dat RNG :<
Played my first real match with Elder Titan. I played him as a support. If it wasn't for our carry doom, we would have lost, but man I got some sick combo's off. 4 man fissure then a ghost sleep combo right after. So sweet.
He sucks as a support though D:

Imo Emerald Warden (HoN) was one of the best S2 heroes. Porting him would actually be pretty cool

Sven sword is pretty awesome.
Warlock hat is some serious WTF. Does not look good. The pentacle at the top being completely done in the texture is particularly bad form. Trying to fit too much detail in something that can't handle it.
Pugna joined Ravenclaw apparently (you'd think that would be Skywrath Mage...)
Axe axe is alright.
Rockman druid is certainly different. But being different is no excuse for being ugly. Just doesn't look that good.
Still haven't played him myself I don't think (unless you count Rubick vs. him), but he doesn't really work too well as a support. Ideally you'd put him mid or offlane (you could farm him if you wanted though).

Elder Titan is one of those guys where you need someone there to capitalize with you. You can hit your moves perfectly, but if your team doesn't follow up, you're a sitting duck/bull monster. I tried him a few times and completely sucked with him, which is ashame because he seems like my kind of hero.

yeah, for some one so tanky I spent all of my teamfights casting from the back, mainly cause I didnt want rubick to steal my shit.
I moved out of support lane to jungleing with w. if I had a stout shield early I think he wouldn't be too bad in the jungle, but yeah he definitely needs a specific team setup to get any real use out of him.
