More impressive in the fact that I first picked her and we were in fact down a rax with an exposed ancient.
Alchemist carried us hard core
One point of Phase Shift at 1 or 2, max orb, then silence, maxing PS last.
It's not about the damage you do, it's about the damage/stuns you dodge with Phase Shift. In the right hands, you are nearly untouchable with Phase Shift and a Blink.
It needs a saltybet mode with continuous bot on bot action, where the viewer can pick the winning team and mvp of the match, and this match plays out either double normal speed or with all heroes starting at level six.Dota needs a static metagame so people can choose the most optimal lineups at hero select.
Do it with captain mode, special WTF mode tournament weekends, how crazy would insane bots be.
all 10 heroes are Spirit Breaker, Id watch that

a mugen type moba engine would be entertaining.
It was my first time as abaddon so I really dont know. Ok-ish I guess?
It got even worse when my friend got that Disruptor bird mount lol
I dont know to be honest, probabyl going to give to my girlfriend, she plays as lina and I don't.

I keep saying it's only a matter of time when the mod tools come out until someone remakes lol inside of it.
I do want a completely unbalanced 1000 hero mode.
hey do you wanna play against my team? i think were pretty good
You guy's couldn't even beat GOTM.
We beat them because their team died instantly
Well, you could get a Shadow Blade or Dagon, worth $100 Each!

I sold too early!
I don't know if I should sell my box now or later it's obviously overvalued but I'm not certain it'll ever drop. It's crazy to me that one can so easily be making a profit for buying a shirt on the Internet. Must be because they aren't available internationally.
I would really like either the SB or the Dagon, but I'd much rather sell the box and use that money + an unusual courier to trade for one.
SB in particular that's gonna be a highly desired item for a long time methinks.

I doubt it, nobody plays kunkka. Nyx on the other hand is pubstar.
Whale Blade anyone?
In two recent games, a person chose kunkka as first pick. We lost both games.
I've had a kunkka buy double Bfury and double Crystalys which he then upgraded to double Daedalus. When asked why he got two of each he just replied "more crit".
What items do you start with? With a mantle and branch alone your orb hurts alot early game.
Offensive Abaddon?
Try maximizing 'Curse of Avernus' and then 'Mist Coil' on Abaddon, along with the purchase of the following items in chronology:
- Boots
- Orb of Venom
- Poor Mans Shield
- Upgrade Boots -> Phase boots
- Basher
- Sange
- Mask of Madness
-- Upgrade Sange -> Heaven's Halberd
-- Upgrade Basher -> Abyssal Blade
Chase enemy heros aggressively after you wield the Orb of Venom (especially effective if you are playing on the safer side lanes), Keep 'Aphotic Shield' at level 1 to remove negative buffs on yourself or allied hero and use 'Mist Coil' as ranged mini nukes.

This game. I don't hate the game, but sometimes I hate people. Like, can I get a queue where the IQ is guaranteed to be over 100? These people you find in pubs...
I fucking love Abaddon, and it's quite funny that my previous support was Omniknight.
He shouldn't be played as a semi-carry, yet he can do well if the team gets a few early kills. Go the utility path with him and alternate between aphotic shield/Mistcoil + Curse of Avernus. Just keep hitting people until your Carry can keep up.
A great end item is Assault Cuirass, that attack speed to keep a constant Curse of Avernus up is fantastic.

His logic is sound
yeah it ended up working out, thankfully. He got a lot of crits.
daedalus crit isnt the rng the rest of the game has, its true 20%. its tested. if you had 6 slot crit you would always get crit.

Would you seriously play kunkka just to show off your item?
boat indicator

I know how to use the boat. He has a fixed range, if I cast it from far away to the exact spot where I want it to hit, it will land where I want it to hit. My problem is that sometimes I just do it, and fail miserably because the team moved.

I want region lock as much as you do but common man.

Tri lane mid new meta confirmed.
1) Hats
2) Hassle of creating a new steam account and going through the tutorial.
3) Your first few matches (I want to say 10-20) are basically "smurf detection" games. It takes into account stats like your kda and w/l and scales you up or down rapidly.
No system is foolproof but it's much better than HoN. In my experience, Valve's matchmaking is a lot better than many many other competitive games I've played.
Can't you just trade hats to your main account?
And
The tutorial isn't mandatory is iS it?
Scaling match making according to Point (3) is perpetual, but an automated system cannot predict human nature.
I have noticed the game put my public match making put against lower skilled players, when I (with intent) don't play the game seriously for a few days.
Also I have this suspicion that the public match making is always trying to keep my win/lose ratio around 50%.

Yep Valve continues to give me the dumbest players ever. Person who thought a Nature's Prophet treant was a courier and gave out first blood and then continues to feed.
Because it does.
Because it does.
Didn't they remove the tutorial skipping cheat?
