Buying a Vlad's does not a carry build make.
Even the panda is surprised.

Would radiance and skadi be a good idea on Spectre? I call it the Spectre of Ice and Fire but I've not actually got to try it yet.

I guess he means the amount of last hits he got. But Vlads into what appears to be a refresher is just odd.

I think I'm the only person that wants the Puck shirt.
Unfortunately it's sold out.
Can't afford the puck wings? Want the new waning rift?

Vlads is 2k gold, not really a lot, especially compared to a sheep on bane, ags/veil on jak. Vlads is a great support item, gives your whole team 5 armor.
If you can farm both on Spectre without losing the game for your team then yeah it would work fine.
I think so. It's only fair that we get to ruin the thread if we're banished into the Community wasteland.

It saddens me to see that this game has not much better community than league of legends,i guess it goes with the f2p element so i have to deal with it.
I did a bad start at a game as tidehunter,and a guy started swearing at me with voice chat asking me to leave and at chat at the end of the game(fag,delete the game,fuck you,etc,)and i forgot to report him.Sure i played bad (0/7/7 at the end i think,he started at my 4rth dead when we failed a teamfight,everyone had about same number of deaths) but i didnt troll and i tried what i could.I mostly played at limited and i just hit lvl 3 so i am kinda noob.
Why so many people have to be so offensive?Why dont they offer an advice or something if they think they are that much better?Does valve ban these players if they get reported?

So I just played my first real game of DOTA 2 after playing League for a little bit. I kinda randomly picked the hero Outworld Devourer because he was ranged and near the end of the list and i ran out of time, and while the bots completely carried the game so much so that I didnt really do anything, I really like the idea behind the hero. He kind of reminds me of Ryze from LoL in that his abilities scale off of his total mana pool, and you can just spam his Q infinitely to destroy people.
As someone new to Dota but not new to mobas in general, would he be someone worth sticking with and learning?

Not for your first hero. OD is a late game hero, but has the power to overwhelm a 1v1 lane easily. You need to understand just how much farm you need to have on heroes like this.

Hm, okay. I saw on the wiki the ranged heroes are generally very squishy, should I stick with strength heroes for now?
Also, I don't know if this is my computer or the game, but things just feel...unresponsive. It may be because I'm used to league, but everything just seems...sluggish. I understand that dota is a bit slower game, since the heroes have turn speeds and things like that, but even the camera seems to not want to cooperate sometimes. Is it just something I get used to?

What kind of playstyles do you like? The standard heroes people recommend you start with are Lich and Tidehunter, and I usually mention Jakiro and Axe as well.

Maybe if you rice for an hour, but calling dota a slow game interesting.

The initial laning stage usually does have less spells being slung around than in LoL from what I've played
The Unreal voice was in Dota 1. Valve got permission to use it in Dota 2.

I meant that's it's literally slower, in the sense that champions have turnspeeds and things like that. Movement is "heavier" if that makes sense.
I'll definitely try those guys out. Generally I like to play tankier heroes/champions. One of the things I feel like I need to most re-learn is when to go in for a trade or something, but that's more something that comes from experience and knowing the heroes, right?
He might have said he was going carry but he was double fail because he's not making a carry build lol

Check to make sure camera acceleration isn't on, that could be a problem with the camera.
As for the heroes, it's interesting that you say that because I can't stand league because of how slow it is. Maybe when you don't have boots some ms is league comparable, but after boots almost everything is faster.
Also, try not to carry the mindset many league players bring to dota, that being learning/having a "main". Play everything to learn the game before settling into a group of heroes to commonly choose.

Someone mentioned it a while ago but I forgot to note it: apparently there's a YouTube channel/series of videos showing discrepancies between Dota 1 and 2, anyone know what its called?
Yeah, you might really like Tidehunter and Axe then. If you want to be more of a carry as well look into Dragon Knight or Skeleton King
And valve secretly owns Tencent.Valve got permission from Epic who is partially owned by Tencent who owns Riot.
We've come full circle, Archie.
