Holy shit the game is fast, it's jarring really. It makes me feel a bit uneasy like when I first watched The Hobbit in 48fps.
 
I got a key, played the 'tutorial', read a bunch of stuff, watched some videos, and I still have no idea what I'm doing and thus a little apprehensive of how to get into this game.

Get in the Neogaf channel demand an inhouse. That'll learn ya.
 
Are there any good counters to a mid Skywrath Mage, except Pugna? I find the idea of placing pugna mid just to counter one of their supports kinda lame.

Easy to gank but I'm not sure if he loses to anyone 1v1. Mag can survive and get farm with bottle crow. Nyx might work but ive never tried the matchup. He's really easy to gank though so your best bet is just have ur support early smoke gank him
 
Anyone else have a bug where the in-game guides don't show up (not they don't load in, but the [> button you click to access guides is completely non-functional)? Usually this happens if I alt-tab out.
 
After needing dota invites for my buddies, now Steam gave me 40 dota invites.

Well the new patch seems to have broken particle effects for me.

Happens to me quite often, whatever I had selected last still loads in fine, but the button to select new guides doesn't do anything.
 
I've had 2 crashes since the patch. Also these HUDs they added are pretty cheap. Wish I could preview them though.
 
Hopefully it fixes the view count on the TI3 courier not increasing.
It seems to be working for me. The counter got stuck stuck at 10 for me over the weekend, but I didn't notice until I had already watched another 20 replays. Tried again earlier today and it was still broken. Post patch it started counting unwatched matches, but it hadn't given me credit for the replays I watched during the weekend. A few minutes ago my view counter bumped up to 35 which sounds about right.
 
Played a game and got like 3 lockups throughout. It just locked up for like 3 seconds at a time but when it kicked back in I had no idea where the hell I was each time.

more importantly, what is with those gold borders

theyre so bling

On his icon? It's from the Compendium boost.

Hmm mine still seems to be bugged. Or maybe I need to have the client open for a while before it fixes itself. Man, I hope it counts all the games I watched this weekend.

Edit: OH! IT JUST UPDATED FOR ME!!!!

FWIW, it took a little over an hour before the matches I watched this weekend got added.

a good counter is have his team mate call mid after he picks SW and make him support and feed

(I have no idea how to play support skywrath mage but im pretty sure he sucks ass)
 
The game where I kept getting stomped by Centaur.

Put him with Faceless Void against a dual lane. When they both get 6 kills happen.
 
Well 10 minutes into my first game post patch people have disconnected 10 times I shit you not. Nice patch, Gaben, nice game you got here.
 
THis Patch is bad, also Pyrion keeps saying 10 seconds idiot. i regret buying this

Why in the world would you buy the pflax announcer?

He does great stuff with his YouTube but wanting to listen to his quips constantly will get really really boring/annoying fast.
 
Can't connect to dota 2 network... No big as I was just gonna take a look at the new HUDs, but I want to make sure other people are having issues.

Also, is there a good way to map Alt+R another joint button-press like shift or ctrl? Enchantress ulti toggle is a weird position for my hands and I'd rather not map a new button for one specific character. I did okay with her my first game but that toggling killed me a few times.
