Whenever it plays my subwoofer blows air at my feet. I like it.
Same, wish they would have turned those around from the start, it's too late now.
Saw game 2 and 3 today, I was cry when Na'vi picked that lineup game 3, knew it was over.

That temping feeling when you want to play another game after having a good one but not wanting to go out on a loss

whenever game pop goes below 200,000, this game's mm turns to pure shit .
I think I had someone say LD wasn't a carry when I told him that this team has too many carries, and just now my team fed rikimaru...

LD is legitwhenever game pop goes below 200,000, this game's mm turns to pure shit

I wouldn't say he is a straight up 1-carry, but he is no support unless you are doing something ridiculous like ambulance bear (Soul Ring, Mek, Pipe, maybe Urn)whenever game pop goes below 200,000, this game's mm turns to pure shit

Phoenix, Earth Spirit, and ice dragon seem really neat.
Give me money and I'll buy you doto itemsGAF I have a DOTA problem.
I got $4,061 as a refund from my school and I've probably put like 400 dollars into steam store...
I cant understand that graph, does that mean good at everything or bad at everything
The team before them had a bigger pentagon so I'm guessing it means they're mediocre at everything.
Edit: and so far it seems like that pentagon's right.
Bigger pentagon or closer to the points on the edges means they are stronger in those points.

Why does this game's matchmaking suck so much? Every single game I play is a laughable curbstomp where one team is a bunch of noobs (myself included) and the other team just rolls a fucking 38-14 train over them
played drow for the first time in a shitty pub game
went 9/0, 200+ cs, 650 gpm...
skipped shadow blade because the other team was pretty much confined to their base after the 10 minute mark, and then I just farmed for most of the time... I probably should have showed to more team fights but they didn't really need me, I think the final score was something like 50 to 17.
But, it was fun shooting people with manta/deadulus.

Oh man. I just realised who that was in your avatar.
I don't follow the FGC much but what a dumbshit.
Also pretty sure there's gonna be one Korean team at TI4 assuming the region picks up a bit more.
Amazing title
I killed QoP in mid solo which I was really happy about. She blinked then turned to AA me. GET WRECKED BY RETURN.
Yeah SB, Weaver, and me (Centaur) pretty much confirmed every single gank attempt.

Yeah. He ruined Mahvel for me by being a whiny bitch outside the game.
It was sweet being in the EVO crowd, watching him lose and cheering on J. Wong.
I don't play Visage often, but when I do I usually do really well. Basically, the idea is to watch the cell phone bars build up, and if they do, you need to immediately Soul Assumption someone and keep spamming it. The slow is also great, don't underestimate it.
Then things get sightly more complicated with the Familiars. Don't panic: it's much easier that Meepo, Lone Druid, and even Brewmaster. The main reason is because they fly. Have them on a seperate control group, and get in the habit of moving them as well as Visage. With the Familiars though, you don't have to worry about their pathing around trees and such, so make longer movements if you are getting them to a fight.
During fights, hide them somewhere close by out of your opponent's vision. Usually putting them in the middle of treelines is best. Have them in positions to cut off escapes with a stone form.
There is a whole lot more you can do with them too, so that is just the basics. It's really satisfying to successfully cut off the enemy's exit with a well placed Familiar stun.

Fuck that, the unreal announcing is dota core. If you guys don't like pwned you can pretend it says pawned like it used to in the land before time.

Your hero died cause you weren't positioning yourself mid bird micro, whops!
I was ready to own with Visage, but my Q is rebound to Tab :[
Can you even rebind Tab cycling to something else?
Ofc
I have no idea what I'd bind it to though is the problem. Caps Lock is deny, WASD is camera. Maybe T?
T is a great key, I'm generally putting my main active item on there.
Apparently Wisp starts the game with negative armor. No wonder it always seems to melt after a few hits.
Always nice to know innate properties of heroes:

The other problem is I'd like to remap my items. Z,X,C are all nice, but as soon as something falls over to V,B,N I'm like ehhhhhhhhhhh. Not a fan of modifiers either. Wat do.
WASD camera is probably your problem, boss man. My item keys are alt-QWEAS and the space bar for a quick item. Leaves plenty of room for my control groups on the numbers and tab is like it should be.
I guess whatever works for you is best, but about 3 or 4 matches into Dota I realized I was going to have to get over my old habit of using keyboard scrolling in RTS games so I vowed to do it. The transition period was MUCH shorter than I anticipated and now I can't imagine going back.
