You have to do different heroes. But I just use cheats to go Level 25, Deso/Bots/MoM/Manta/2x S&Y, so it took about 15 minutes for all 10.

The 5 full games was even faster, since you could just use the command to start the game then to have radiant win.

How does one do this?
 
Sniper is odd character. Lost mid to an OD, died a few times and got my Shadow Blade last.

Once I got my Manta I was destroying the other team, and went from 19 to 24 with two mega kills. I didnt do shit, early to mid but destroyed it late. Feels OP bro.

Jesus, the bots are a trench simulator. I tell them to push bot and they all say pushing bot so I start pushing it and no one comes and bh that was in the lane is jungling. Meanwhile their entire damn team comes to defend. What the fuck, Valve, I just want to get through this. :/

Sniper become beast in late game after getting some attack speed items and one or so damage item if he is left alone in team fight. The other team always need to initiate on him or kill him first as he died very easily. I think the positioning is very important on sniper as he have long range and insane damage late game. Most of the pub team fail to control sniper late game unless you have some 1st tier carry that can out damage him.

So is there a best keyboard layout? I'm looking at the three given before doing the first tutorial and I've always used the first one, but being able to move the camera without dragging the mouse sounds like it would be good.
 
I've changed my buttons which:

123456 - items in my inventory
qwer - abilities
c - use courier
space - camera on character
z - upgrade ability

Edit: It's whatever you're used to. So many people use the layout from HoN because of the fact they're used to it.
 
2 games in a row ruined by leavers. Seriously, I have a full time job I don't have time for this shit.
Dude I'm right with ya on that. I'm working two jobs now and I've been married for a year now, so my gaming time has gone way down. When something like this happens it drives me up the wall.

He needs attack speed to make headshot a nightmare and really up his damage. Early with his horrible base damage he doesnt feel like he does much (cause he doesnt).
 
Asking again. It sounds like you can get a sniper set by doing this tutorial. I already did the first part though. Would I need to replay the first part to get the whole set?

You have to go through all parts of the tutorial for sniper set, so you need to do the 1v1s and bot matches.

Can anyone explain this?
me 400 wins
scrub 1 11 wins
scrub 2 21 wins
scrub 3 13 wins
scrub 4 22 wins

The enemy team had someone with 789 wins and the rest were 300-500ish, What a broken piece of shit the MM is. It cannot be defended really. Is it so much to ask to be put into a game were everyone is of an equal skill level? I guess so.

fuck you valve

They could have been a stack, the same as the enemy team, so you got matched up with them to compensate for their lack of skill. Also it could have been smurf accounts if all the enemies are around the 300-500 range. Wins mean nothing, it's the hidden MMR that matters. They probably smurfed their way into a way higher MM than what they were accustomed to. Bad luck, happens to everyone of us Some game, you just have really bad teammates. Nothing you can do about it. Leave it at that and go into the next game with a fresh mind.

It seems like I get matched with the moron or Russian team more often than not, it's very frustrating. If it was a stack they should have been matched with a similar skill level stack then, either way the MM is garbage imho.

I don't know if it is my luck or what but the 2 limited hero pool matches I did were total stomps. And by that I mean stomps by me and my team. I don't think I ever had such lopsided matches except if someone left the game.

They were most likely smurfs. If you stomp people while having few wins the matchmaking system puts you in higher categories. If you only have 11 wins the system can get wonky as the sample size is too small. The reason you got 4 of them at the same time means that they were most likely a stack.

blame smurfs, they ruin it for everyone.

What do we say to a guy that keeps doing similar "Starting lane" builds everytime

mysvwZj.jpg


This guy keeps doing this (He is a friend of a friend of mine) and despite we saying that he needs to buy Tangos, Salves and Clarities for early harass, he keeps saying "That's a dead end build. It sucks, this is better"

He insists on this crap despite losing every lane since he can't harass and transfers all the heat to the carry he is supposed to babysit. He does this every time he goes Support/Intel whatever

EVERYTIME
And he insults us.

I have no words.

One day I realized that sadness is just another word for not enough coffee.

I think I've traveled back in time to 2006.
