Can anyone give me tips on fighting pudge with TA, or in general? He's one of those characters that seem to just crush me unless I'm support and become paranoid about placing wards. Specifically, should I change my skill order to fight him? I keep losing mid to this dude >:\
 
How the hell is that all she has with 2000 last hits and 28 kills?!

also, assume she dropped several Divine Rapiers. I'd assume all the DR's in the game were bought by her.
List of the Unusually couriers you could get:
"Fearless Badger"
"Enduring War Dog"
"Mighty Boar"
"Morok's Mechanical Mediary"
"Skip the Delivery Frog"
"Speed Demon"
"Tickled Tegu"
"Baby Roshan"
"Prismatic Drake"
"Cluckles the Brave"
"Nimble Ben"
"Kupu the Metamorpher"
"Porcine Princess Penelope"
"The Llama Llama"
I wonder when we'll see Unusual Shagbark. Not interested in these others.
 
Added Quick Cast option to Game menu: causes all abilities to cast immediately upon keypress, targeting the cursor's current position

omg this game is so casual now

So using this, Meepo's blink-poof move could be done as 2, w, tab, w, tab, w, instead of 2, w, left click, tab, w, left click, etc? That sounds good, considering it's not too uncommon to miss a left-click in there somewhere, resulting in leaving a meepo behind, but I wonder if it would be worth the hassle it would cause when using the nets.

Yep. Will also be super useful for nets too. Meepo might be the one character I use quick casting for.
 
It used to annoy me when I had my cursor too far away for Pudge to use hook and he ends up walking around a corner or something dumb, I've gotten better since but I still might smart cast for him
 
You guys still playing this game? I found a new Moba that requires more skill it's called animal crossing a new leaf.

How does the Battling work in that game? Is that ability where the red shirt guy can just pocket an enemies attack for later use a normal skill, or his ult?

Pudge should be one of the easiest match ups you will face against in mid, as pretty much anyone. He is easy to harass and get an advantage on and doesn't really have a good way of pushing out the lane.

Here is a game I played this morning as TA against pudge. Abuse your refraction charges to harass him and keep him from last hitting and you should have an easy time. The AA on the other team quit because I was able to get such a huge lead in 15 minutes.

Awesome, thanks!
 
The refreshing reports thing should be good. I get a message almost every time I log in, so getting more reports for successful ones should help weed out disruptive players quicker.

Don't usually need to report that much though. Maybe once every 5 games or so on average nowadays. Which is about half to a third of the games I might play in a week.

That seems like a lot of money for a lost cause. :I

League is the largest game in SK by a country mile. Something like 40% of gamers in that country play it.

Gotta spend money to be taken seriously in korea. LoL was literally unknown 2-3 years ago and many of the top players in SK used to play in NA for 1-2 years. Very aggressive marketing(getting Broodwar players to do commercials about LoL at launch) and support TV production(OGN) made word of mouth spread like wildfire in south korea. This is great for both LoL and DOTA 2!
 
I like the new puck a lot more. Kind of sucks that LC still isn't out yet, at this rate I'm not sure if dota 2 will reach parity for a long time, we'll probably get 2-3 heroes at best before TI3.
 
Started playing Wisp/Io and man he's awesome!

First game = horrendous

Each game after was better than the last. So many saves. So many ganks.

I used to believe Korea could never betray SC and well it happened...

People move on...LoL might be leader now but as tastes change there will be a shift...

Hell if you told me I would be playing a game called Dota 2 last summer and I'd be quite addicted to it...I would have laughed you off as a mad man.
 
Slark is fun to play

Was chasing a bounty hunter at the top rune stairs. He goes invis and 2 seconds later i blind pounce when it comes off cooldown. BOOM! got the kill and then managed to evade zeus ult by using mine to regen while escaping

Whatever the government funds and whatever the Korean mafia can best manipulate for gambling profit will win over.
