Prolly easy to do. Just sign onto Nexon, prolly a good FAQ/guide Matt?

Dendi has been streaming pretty much all day today. I guess that makes up for no Diretide

I'm still wondering whether to buy Aghs on the World's Dumbest Axe Build (Blink/Bloodstone).
It does cover for some mistakes and I do get a bit of a nuke out of it but it's still 4200 gold.

That's not the world's dumbest Axe build.
The dumbest Axe build is Quelling Blade/Ogre Club/Reaver/Battlefury/Manta Style/Mjollnir

You're right, it's not the world's dumbest Axe build, it's the World's Dumbest Axe Build. TM.

he's still live? holy shit. what time is it in Eastern Europe???
he's been streaming since at least 2pm EST. So going on 12 hours at least.
I have to say, I really do like picking up a Midas on a support if you think the game will drag on long, though its hard to say if the extra item you could instead have would allow an early base break or not. The biggest issue with Support Midas is that normally 4/6 slots on a support are already filled (Boots, TP, Wards/smoke, Invis Detection), and locking 1 more down for a Midas can make it really hard to hold onto something else that would be useful. I think you are more or less forced into getting early BoTs with it, or hoping someone else can lug around wards/detection.

They just aren't very good at this game it seems. Maybe in a few months they will pick up.
you should be prepared for this due to playing modern mobas
why shouldnt it be?
I would give them some time. We will see if they will pick it up
Dusa is seriously not bad at all. I've got a relatively high win rate with her, going with pretty much the same build every time - Midas, HOTD, Butterfly, Skadi. It's a greedy build but with her ult as strong as it is youre kind of safe from ganks, and you should be able to get bfly by 18-20 mins if you stack ancients. Once you have Bfly getting the Skadi is a breeze, especially because Medusa is the kind of hero where pure stats help quite a bit since she needs all of the primary stats.

Kids, what the hell is Earth Spirit's role in a team? I'm thinking he's an offlaner.
So I finally tried this game, completed the first tutorial, started the second but didn't complete it because I was bored out of my mind. I don't know, may be the game opens up a bit but moment-to-moment gameplay is incredibly dull to me. I just dispatch mobs of enemies (well, it's not even me, the hero manages fine on his own) and there are like 2 active abilities and 2 passive abilities. I was ready to become addicted but for now it's the most boring game I tried In the past two years or so. Should I persist? Will it change for the better?
Nah, we're just in it for the hats.
Quit while you still can you fool. Don't let your life be ruined by this game like everyone else in this topic.
5000 hours and counting ;_;
Cool story, bro.

Guys. Help.
Also I think Sven is my new Clinkz; whenever I try to play him (regardless of carry/roamer/support) something always goes wrong.

The first tutorials with Dragon Knight and Sniper are really just for teaching you the mechanics and are not really indicative of a typical Dota 2 game at all. The excitement doesn't come from following Valve's little scripted narrative or hitting creeps, it comes from clashing with other heroes (humans) that have similarly powerful skills to your own and outmanoeuvring each other.
I'd say stick with it until you at least reach the bot matches (the fourth or fifth tutorial level I think), so you can experience what it's like to play against other heroes and get a better feel for what the pacing and the dynamics of a Dota 2 match are really like. If you're really just about to uninstall the game, take the plunge and try at least one real match (even if you'll be unprepared) against other players.
If it's still too boring to you after that, feel free to stop playing.

Well, I never enjoyed a game for the tutorial. It is a multiplayer game, make up your mind after you have played a few online matches, tutorials are dull.
Or run while you still can.
dave is ok
aztek is ok
So Diretide is today?
