Loving Luna so far but shes one of the few characters I played a lot and I have 120 hours in the game. Late game shes very strong and with more attack speed its like thousands of glaives on your screen at the same time.
Im not great or even good as her even investing so much time... and in 120 hours I've never seriously played a strength hero ou melee hero haha so I'm sorry for the gaffer who invited me yesterday to a game and I played as Tidehunter in a Captains match (also... Ive never played other mode that its not "All Pick"
). Sorry dude, didnt know it was a captain's match and to make things worse someone in our team picked Luna when I was begging to play as her and he ignored me and picked her first
Game ended in 18 minutes ;_;

How do mean she has a good auto-attack? I suppose the animation is quick, although her agi growth is kind of middling. And I guess she's generally in a position to auto attack a lot in fights because she can chase and kite people with her blink.
I guess bkbs are a problem for nuker Quop but I don't know I always thought of her as a Storm Spirit like hero whose job it is to use their mobility to jump on the supports and wreck them and leave the carries to your team. Mind you I guess orchid is great for that role as well. Blinking on a warlock and killing him before he can drop the golems is the most satisfying thing.

She's basically a weaker Gyro.
dave is ok
aztek is ok
The score screen at the end of the game shows you everything that everyone in your game got - you were probably looking at other peoples drops.

If you click on your name on the top right in Dota it brings up your profile and you can go through your list of games and see the end screen and even watch the replay if it's recent. If you have enabled stats sharing in the options you can also search on your steam name on http://dotabuff.com/, a big stat compilation site for mm games.

Luna can be great at early pushing strats and transitions very well to the late game too. Go for Lucent Beam and put in two points to aura. Around level eight you can push hard with an early drums and tranquil boots (or aquila if you were free farming) with a pushing ally or two. Then it transitions well into BKB/helm of dominator.
Thanks, how long does it take for the games to go up on Dotabuff.com? New game isn't there just my horrible bloodseeker game for like a year and a half ago when I played without the tutorial lol. I'm just glad that I felt like I was doing alright in my first game even though we lost. Ended up not getting killed for quite awhile until I was level 14 and got teamed up on by the "I'm Sniping" dude and this archer chick. I just hope to finally find a game I can win later, plus I want some cards. How does the drops work anyhow? Is it like TF2 where they just drop to anybody or does it have to be players from the winning team only?
But in the PC Gamer interview (and a few other times I believe) they confirmed that we would get Abaddon and LC before TI3. Today is the last Wednesday before TI3 group stages start so that means we have to get her today, right....right?

Even my shit tier win rate is godlike with Luna. Last hitting is a bajillion times easier early game, and you can base break way faster.
Yeah they have similar item builds, but a weaker gyro?

I have Player Card: Korok from Team Liquid, can trade it for Chuan or Faith of Invictus Gaming.
So, during tutorial my friend chose a super weird mouse control scheme, with middle button as the MOVE command.
I tried to give him a hand in changing this, but couldn't find anything about mouse controls on the Control Settings.
Is there a way to do it? Is this a dumb doubt?

Great scythe, I'm afraid it'll get lost in the shuffle!
Well you made it sound like it was an all support win. GGWP

In dotabuff, one of the most build items on Venomancer is shadow blade...
I guess I'm one of the few that play him as support (one of the best imo).

Can someone explain these "player" card drops ?
Are they random like other cards or do I have to buy those ticket things and watch tourneys ?

I think that's the other way around?
He is a support, but Shadow Blade is in the default recommended item build. If you're gonna be real baller though you get an OoV.
Played him last night with the OoV build which was fun, but I died a lot. Mostly since I was also the only person buying support items, so the aggressive moves were mostly suicidal. Oh, and we lost because the carries couldn't hit the creeps.
dave is ok
aztek is ok
Eve is a Poor Man's Shield
If you are owning hard enough, which is definitely possible on veno, shadowblade is not that big of a purchase.

They drop quite frequently. 100% if you play compendium match.
Nope you can get them without having a compendium - but you can only play compendium matches with a compendium and stamp the cards in your compendium if you have one.
So yeah all in all it's an e-baseball card.

I dread it whenever someone picks Sniper on my team, trash hero. Worst carry in the game? I feel like you have to be really dumb to let him snowball, if the other team picks him I go Bane and go to town.
American servers must be full of assholes btw, on Europe West I hardly ever get any griefers or leavers/afkers. Sure, you get russian trashtalkers etc, but they're playing til the end at least.
