Started learning invoker today. Dude is super fun, but I'm super bad. Any general invoker tips?
That frustrating feel when you lose a 60 minute game.

Many times I pretty much successfully 1v5'd the whole team, even getting a rampage once.

Why not wait for a teamfight and BT to racks? It's not like they could have one or two guys come defend against a fed jug.
I'm more concerned about this guy flying on his staff. He's not a witch is he?

Remember your first games.Just lost a 3v5 because two of the people on our team were new and fed their TA who in turn just wiped the floor with us, yay!
You weren't mid then I take it, Storm was?
That would put Furion jungle, Sylla solo and you and AA laning?
Furion was on lane/roaming. He sucked too. It's always so frustrating when you are doing everything right early game and then your team refuses to team play..

Is there actually a hero who has an advantage mid against OD ? pugna ?
Holy shit this peruvian invasion.
I had the worst game ever, 2 of them feeding the shit out of their minds to Jug and Sylla. all of them arguing from minute 0
Had to afk farm 20 mins ultil I got a very risky rapier (throne was exposed) and satanic to win this shit.

LD and Lone Druid can do decently well against him (nyx as well). Advantage? Nope.
There was some pro game recently though where a Nyx got absolutely crushed by an OD mid though. Something like 4 CS at 12 minutes with the OD having an absurd amount of denies. Can't remember who was playing who, but I'm sure you could look it up on Dota-Academy or something.
The other thing to remember about OD is that he's not a super ganking type of hero. He's not gonna want to move early if the other mid doesn't since he can just sit there and make life suck for them. The longer the laning phase lasts, the better for him, since he's fairly squishy and susceptible to ganks with no built-in escape. So if you're playing vs. him, you hopefully get some good rune control and make things happen early in the side lanes so he'll be forced to respond and leave mid. Otherwise if you're coordinated, you have a support or two from one of your side lanes come and gank him, preferably with a smoke.
An underfarmed, underleveled OD is a very sad hero indeed.
Remember your first games.

Duesy, how come you didn't take invoke until level 4?

Yeah, well OD will always have more base damage than the opposing mid hence the no one having an advantage on him. But the 3 heroes that can do SOMEWHAT ok against an OD here and there (are still at a disadv. but a lil better off than the rest of the hero pool) are LD, huskar, and nyx. Nyx will be the worst of the bunch because although he will burn OD's mana, there's nothing to stop him from getting right clicked out of lane and he won't get cs outside of using his stun effectively. And this is me talking from a pre-nerf nyx outlook, I haven't played the matchup after 6.78 and now instead of his level one 5x mana burn, his 3.5x mana burn leaves him worse off in that matchup.
edit: meant Huskar in the above post not LD and Lone Druid lol.
Invoker is ez just dl all of duesy's replays. Especially that one game in gaf ihl '3'
Kunkka does pretty well against OD.
im sorry again about the peruvians :/ man i hope we dont turn into the next br's, or russians.
To learn Invoker, I think it's easier to pick 1 build-type and then keep on playing that until you get used to it. Example, Quas-Wex build; Cold Snap, EMP, Tornado, Ghost Walk. Those are the 4 main spells you use in that build. You don't have to worry too much about the other spells for a good portion of the game. After you get used to 1 build, trying out other builds or just using all other spells should feel and be a lot easier.
If you like to Ghost Walk a lot, I find the Eul's Scepter to be good complement. It gives you movement speed to somewhat counteract the self-slow. And if they buy dust or track you, you can tornado yourself with it to dispel it, and then Ghost Walk. You can also tornado the enemy and then Sun Strike, Chaos Meteor, or something else as they land.
I find playing practice mode with -wtf enabled helps a lot. I'd prefer this over the www.invokergame.com because I have custom keybinds, and you should actually practice casting the spells on some target.
how can you wait the 12 minutes it takes when you queue AU server onlyI feel pretty happy to be an Aussie right about now, can not relate at all to the issues of having Brazilians, Peruvians, Russians or any equivalent ruining a game. Being stuck out here on our own is a bit of a blessing I guess, most non-english speakers in the area are on SEA servers so I can't say I've had any of the issues I see brought up so much, or maybe I'm just lucky.
'wait pls'
'i lag'

I just had a game where apparently the power went out in whatever South American country people were in because 2 people dropped and another guy kept asking us to wait
lol my friend made it into Dota Fails. She's the Spirit Breaker that killed the NP at 2:10. That was such a great moment.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f57By1i-2p0
