I'll check her out too!
He's normally an AD/AP Carry and built for it, lol. Depending on team synergy and the player, you can shift him to backing up other players though because he's super self-sufficient and is a threat across the entire map.
Though I guess I might also define support as someone that isn't the leading the charge and on the frontlines, lol. I see support as a group role instead of a character one. =x
Also, TF has a super low recast on his stun ability too. Pick a card is like what, 6 seconds? You can reduce the cooldown a bit more as well with items. I end up focusing on that if I'm not carrying, lol

Question for you all:
What is the one hero in the game that regardless of meta just pisses you off? That embodies all of your hatred.
Mine is Slark. Seeing that fishman just makes me angry. Any meta that makes it so he is stronger just makes me hate the meta more.

I love watching a good Slark game like this MVP vs VG.
Edit: Morphling pisses me off.

Sniper. When I see that old dwarf I just want to focus him. He feels very satisfying to kill too.
poor hupsel
He'd have to play dota to count that dirty luna picker

Saved the list. Going to add you guys later . What is your main way of communication? Text chat or voice? I still have to get a splitter so I can use my ps4 headset on the PC
I'm mostly on during the day this summer vacation. With the exception of next week. I'll probably be playing some evenings then.
Team speak has a Mac client, right? Could use the headset on the Mac and just use the speakers on the PC for the time being.

I looked at Crystal Maiden and Keeper of the Light and they look interesting! Will definitely try them out.
Looking at the other chars, any thoughts on Chen, Disruptor, Luna, Mirana, Morphling, Io, Vengeful Spirit, and Invoker? Any ones I should avoid from these? Any thing to note in particular?

Chen is a very difficult play.
Morphling is a very difficult play as well.
Invoker is fun but very difficult to master / play.
I would urge a beginner to avoid those heroes generally.

People would normally advise you to hold off on Chen and invoker. Morph and wisp as well.
But hell go for it. Just know they require micro. It's not that big of a deal. In fact the quicker you learn that the faster the rest of the learning will be. Invoker actually kind of looks like he plays like your twisted fate guy.
Other than that they're all good to learn. All fun impactful heroes.
Yeah that happens. Stick with it!

I'll keep that in mind. I'm gonna be in bot and practice play for awhile until I can get my chars down though so it's not like I'm going to be jumping into it cold plus I have some MOBA experience. =o
Yeah, Twisted has a certain level of micro to him because of Pick a Card and knowing what the battlefield situation is when using his Ultimate. So I'm pretty used to it, lol. I'll be in practice like I said so I can learn the abilities in and out.
Only unit I ever remember folks talking kinda poorly was Techies at last year's TI, I think? I recall something of the sort.
you always say you're playing with friends
yes
You just have to beat them to the invite.

Chen: Not now. Hero's hard as shit and you need to have a solid understanding of how the game progresses in the early to make use of his strengths.
Disruptor: Awesome hero, and not terribly hard. Max glimpse and abuse it.
Luna: Been picked at TI, but still somewhat weak. I'd recommend a carry that's a bit stronger at the moment or less 'quirky' like Drow or perhaps Clinkz. If you do play her, don't take glaives until you're at the end of or past laning phase, so that you don't constantly push your lane.
Mirana and Venge: Good choices. They're both pretty easy to figure out and have big impact once you get a feel for them.
The rest: I think all three of these heroes are a bit odd. Not super difficult, but they take a slightly different approach to the game or have a skill that's difficult to utilize correctly. You can pick them up, but you might enjoy them more once you've got a better feel for the game.
Mechanically, he's one of the harder heroes to play due to the microing required to maximize the hero's effectiveness.
Might be better to work on something else then come back to him.
He's good if you know how to micro. I wouldn't recommend the micro intensive heroes if you're just starting out but if you've played an RTS before you won't have too much trouble.
Just play nothing but Disraptor and Visage. I wish someone had told me that when I started. I wasted so much time learning shit heroes when I only needed those 2.
ed: Don't listen to micro noobs. Visage is EZ mode.

Just carefully read his passive so you understand how it works.

If you like chen's kit, try enchantress, too. Way less difficult and also uses creeps.

Secret finish in the same place as MVP.
Visage is the best
