I am so legit that I even know what Aeon of Strife is though I had no idea there were versions based on Pokemon.
Well you know there were versions that had all sorts of silliness. I may be mixing it up with an angel arena map, or something but I definitely recall pokemon-named heroes. I think even Starcraft had some "evolving" versions of V-Tec paintball.
Holy shit, V-Tec paintball. :lol that game was the Dota of its time.
Elyrion youre from SEA right? Maybe you can answer this question:
wtf does 'sohai' mean? Does it mean 'cunt'? I see it written out about 100 times per game when I play on SEA. It's especially funny when it's combined with english. Like "u farm for fk? sohai a bit" I'm also not too sure what 'for fuck' means. It seems to be used in a disapproving way. Like if you're ganking and they don't want you to gank, they'll say "u gank for fk" or something.
Sohai is a Cantonese vulgurity as far as I am aware. More likely to be used by Hong Kongers and Malaysians. Not exactly sure what it means. And I don't see it being used much when playing on SEA. It's not used by Singaporeans.
"u gang for fk" basically is disapproval of you ganking. Say if you buy Armlet on CM, a rude player would say, "you buy armlet on cm for fuck?" or "you buy armlet on cm for what? For fuck?". This one is Singaporean lingo.
Where are you from?
I'm American but I play on SEA sometimes.

I don't know what this means.
Unless its Ceramicsteve playing Lycan.
I swear TB is like a super Venomancer in trilanes. 60% MS and AS slow on level 1. LEVEL ONE.

Also Shallow Grave + Sunder is ridiculous and this game was the first time I got to try that combo. I got graved in a fight in their base right in a clusterfuck of their team and was able to get a Sunder off during the Shallow Grave with 1HP.
That was easily one of the best trilanes I have ever participated in.

You still owe me that 1v1 mid manmode with axe
Anything but 1v1 OD mid, we all remember that match in the solo tournament in TI3
Gonna get nerfed for sure. The hero is ridiculously strong.
Yeah, he is. Who needs nukes when you can pop Meta and just right click them?
I've always wondered why Meta isn't his ultimate. Was it ever his ultimate in Dota 1? I know it might as well be, but I can see that Sunder would be OP if it wasn't an ultimate.
Meta was the ultimate of the WC3 hero that he's based on (Demon Hunter). For as long as I can remember in Dota all-stars though, his ult was Sunder. He used to not have that slow, though. It used to be a weaker version of Pugna's drain life.

Alwayswannafly ran that game though you get me.
Rtz farming rates is disgracefully good.
I actually prefer jungle while helping to cover mid when mid is ganking. I've had some decent success going:
1. Stout shield, quelling blade, tango
2. You should be a able to farm Morbid mask to pick up at base (key is to consume a neutral that will give you a good buff)
3. Then bracer and brown boots
4. Then finish drums then Vlads
5. Then you go Boots of travel
From there on out farming is easy, joining team fights is easy, and you help out your team with Vlads and drums (and hopefully the wolves neutral buff which ca really help your carry).
Lately I go Bloodstone and AC, but really this depends on who I'm facing and how the game is going. You do need good map awareness during the BOTS stage because they will be coming for you.

bloodstone?
Yeah I know it seems strange, but has been working out alright. Honestly I get to the point mid game where I really run low on mana. Plus it helps with the snowball effect into late game if/when things go well. It is risky though.
there are sooo many better items to spend 5050 on though, just get shivas if you want more mana
I didn't play Dota back then, started last year.

You could get an atos and a euls for that cost and those are actually useful.

In my 2k+ matches of dota 2 I don't think I've ever seen a doom buy a bloodstone. Also why waste money on a bracer and drums when you can get something better.
Blink Dagger is the new Midas.

Blink Dagger over Shadowblade for me.
I always though Doom was best as an aura whore
Valds/Drums/Shivas/Devour an Alpha Wolf/Radience/AC etc
You and 109 hate that hero so much yet he consistently gets picked in the pro scene.

I've been fooling around with doom for a bit. I like mek and arcane first, bkb or ac. I think competitive games do the same except lean more toward shiva than ac. In a pub environment though I think the carry power from AC is more beneficial. After that basher is a solid pickup. Picking up Vlads is a good idea somewhere along the way if there are other melee carries. Really doom is all about stacking armor early game to go along with his beefy strength gain, so he can use his pseudo radiance to stay in the fight after he dooms someone. He's basically a walking aura support. Wolf crit can make him hit decently hard.
Or you could play around and grab blink/shadowblade and centaur stomp, it is pretty good for initiating.
There's no single item you must build every game on him, build around your team.
It is pretty interesting how he has risen lately, this guy has a nice blurb which I agree with
