The fact that control + skill key doesn't work for leveling up abilities for any of these training things is infuriating!

Also having to buy courier in these mid matches is dumb.

I forgot to ask: how do you get the ping/fps/etc to show up in the top right-hand corner? I'm not good with Source commands.

EDIT: WAIT NEVER MIND A GOON TOLD ME
 
Ahhh...my first time in LPQ. Not quite sure what I did. Had a shitty disruptor game and ended up here. Is the first time usually 24 hours?
 
Just did the two tutorials with console commands, took about 10 minutes. Now I have to play 10 real games? What am I doing, I dont even like sniper
 
How do i get the free Sniper Gunslinger set? I only got the Cape from one of the tutorials, other tutorials didn't give anything.

The other tutorials require multiple playthroughs, for example the mid lane one requires 10 different heroes before you get the bracer, the bot match one requires 5 victories before you get the hat and then the last piece is from 10 limited pool matches versus people. There should be a progress bar when you look at the map overview thing selecting which tutorial you want to select.

Really? Didn't feel like whining at all to me, just making smart calls and recommendations.

I heard Sneyking was flaming up a storm though.

Yeah I watched his stream for a bit until I went to client. Mid game he was a little ridiculous but eventually he seemed to just not give a fuck.
 
Hah an antimage just blinked into my naga siren clones + manta clones that I left behind at his tower.
4 seconds later he was out of mana from diffusal blade and died cos he couldn't blink back out.

Naga is a lot of fun to play, excellent tower pusher with the song.


Once you figure out how to counterpick in pubs this game becomes 10x more fun.
Picking a pugna vs a zeus and a storm spirit is just too funny.
I'd like to try blademail centaur + razor + pugna + blademail axe + PA sometime just for the sheer damage reflect

We watched games, it was naix, gyro, naix, gyro, gyro, naix. And we were like this meta-game completely sucks. Every team does the same thing. Everyone is so predictable. . .

We need to not pick those heroes. We need to think of picks to counter this because the first team to counter this will dominate the scene. . .

Nice little SLTV interview with Fuckingmad
Hmm jeans a little informal.



Tobiwan takes on all questions about casting competition/controversies
Dose cutoff jeans.
Talkdota coming back for TI3?
 
Let both teams decide on 2 heroes to autoban so they dont waste first bans on io/batrider every time and then make the same first picks
 
Man I've been playing so little this past month, yet I've been studying and working so hard that I feel so good about it. (Even better considering my gaming addiction)
 
If I want to get all the drops/items from these tutorial things, which ones would I need to complete? How many times?

There's a counter on the tutorials, but basically:

Lore book - Complete Dk and Sniper maps.

Gunslinger items: Complete Sniper vs Axe 1v1 once, then completel Mid Lane Tutorial 10 times, then complete Bot Match Tutorial 5 times, then complete PvP tutorial 10 times.
 
Is there anything specific I should be doing against Huskar as Meepo? I just had a really tough time against a guy that would pop ghost sceptor after I blink/poof/net'd him. My poofs were still on cooldown usually when he did that, so it always took way too long to kill him in a teamfight. Would getting an e-blade to burst him be a good idea? I ended up not buying it because I wasn't sure if it did magic damage.

Easy, Boots of Travel
 
Wahey I'm unbanned. Anyways, I've been having real fun as Meepo lately. Very difficult to play well, but it's all part of the challenge. Still need to master blink poofs, but I managed to stand one on one with a farmed Anti-Mage the other day, bagged myself a triple kill.
 
That's probably a good idea. The active cancels ghost form I assume?

Could you explain further? Or are you just saying it's better to avoid him and push all the lanes.

Huskar is a single target hero without stuns. When you goes for one of your Meepos, port that one back to base immediatly and poof him back in.
 
I actually didnt even think that pucks silence could stop sandstorm until somebody mentioned it to me later. I forgot that sandstorm is channeled. Overall I dont play really well with new heroes at all. Seems like it takes me at least 1 full game just to get the hang of the basics with them and like 10 games to feel comfortable

I think that guy picked Pudge because he wanted to land fountain hooks with the Chen : /



Cause I had no idea what I was doing lol. I just watched a Purge vid where I skipped around to see what items he bought in what order and just went with that for my first game with Puck. I like to have at least my item build set in stone for the first few times I play a hero then as I play them I figure out what I like and dont like and come up with my own item builds.

Finally finished uploading. There you go.
 
I saw something a little crazy the other day. Played with a fairly good Void, who engaged their whole team in chronos, got a kill or two then ran away and started tp'ing back to fountain. Apparently enemy Spirit Breaker ult's him just as tp'ing is done, resulting in both of them ending up at our fountain and SB dying.
