Lycan and BH weren't really team players. BH was bitching all game about how he should have been mid. Then he would get pissed when we wouldn't dive towers to get ganks with him.
I do that all the time actually, just had to think of something other than animation cancelling where it's useful.

Randomed Meepo for the first time today and just went with it. Exhausting and exhilarating.
The old SC2 adage "attention is the third resource" really holds true, once the need for some more intense micro starts, I basically lost all my map sense and awareness and got just tunnel vision for my meepos. I know it was a stomp, the opponents weren't good and our OD really crushed mid and carried the game - but I'm still pretty proud of some of my better microed moments in the game, scoring a double kill solo in the top lane and an ultra kill in front of their base towards the end (though the lvl advantage was pretty ridiculous at that point).
I can see how a Meepo of my level could be countered pretty easily (had to change my hotkeys halfway through the game to account for Meepo needs), but man, that game felt really good. Breaking my XPM record in the first game with a hero is pretty crazy. Also certainly the highest APM I've ever had playing Dota 2. :lol

Yeah mine's also spacebar. Though I never played LoL. I use it so much I couldn't imagine having to reach to F1 constantly.
Speaking of which, I added to my autoexec/settings:
My F1-F4 keys are courier binds F1 selects, F2 delivers items, F3 uses speed boost, and F4 is bound to chatwheel_say 44, which says "Re-use courier."
F5 and F6 check the rune spots, F7 checks the last event, and F8 toggles the net graph.
Mouse4 selects all units, Mouse5 selects all other units, and ZXCVB are my control group buttons.
1-6 are my item keys, G is stop (easier to press than S), and T is voice chat.
I think that's it. I don't want to change too much, because I already have to adjust as is.

learn to bash bash bash bash bash bash.
Any of you guys getting divekick?
Because that's what the Hold command is for.
The same thing as pressing it once and letting go.
so why doesnt holding stop mean anything?
is the dota2 engine too primitive to understand holding the stop button or something?
Ask Valve.
Because that's what Hold is for.
In all seriousness, these are the commands that were in Warcraft. Stop and Hold meant (mean?) two different things to that game and thus this game. If you want to know how they work specifically, I'm sure that's in a wiki or something.
Because they perform separate functions. Hold isn't just a persistent Stop.
edit 3: If you have auto attack on, stop will stop your current action then issue an 'attack and move to nearest visible enemy that's just outside your attack range' type command. If you have auto attack on, Hold will issue an 'attack something that's in range but don't move' command.
why do you need hold if you could hold the stop button?
What do you guys think of MoM on OD? This dude was on Godlike for the most of the game just because of his MoM and Arcane Orb combo.
This is the first time I saw this, and it complete obliterated everyone on our team around mid-game. Yet, I still don't agree with his skill build, but here judge for yourself.

So you can tell creeps to hold

How do you play Elder Titan? I figured you rush an Urn and then get typical support/teamfight items.
OD will pop like an overfilled balloon to anyone with 1 stun.

you can edit your autoexec.cfg file so it behaves like that. s stops from moving but attacks, h stops from moving and attacking
Yeah I agree, it's a shame Mirana was missing her arrows left, right and center. But still, do you think that the combo is actually viable?

Problem with od is even if you get BKB he'll astral whoever you're beating on, and it is likely he'll have forcestaff anyway. Timber can chain away, his reactive shield builds up quick and he has a lot of burst.
The change to whirling axes also stops troll from auto attacking for a good second, buff troll plz icefraud.
He used Soul Ring which cuts your health moments before Alch attacked. He was probably distracted by the giant ancient stack.
Farm the ancients they said.

You can't tell from the scoreboard, but he was carrying them around for the entire second half of the game
I hope decent, but even if there is one, I don't expect it to be meaty. Next week and onward are better chances.
