Understandable, CK sucks.
Seriously though he probably didn't know he could repick or swap, or the sight of CK made him so sick he couldn't play Dota anymore.

This is huge for NAR
Na.Vi is THE team most associated with Dota 2 imo, so being a part of that must be amazing

Second daily hero is AA
what are the good strats
I think I understand why: if it were automatic, people would complain about not being to play certain daily heroes because they were gone for most of the day or something.

I got AA as well, I've always loved using him, his second skill combined with his ult is pretty nasty.
If you can build stats and scepter the ult lasts for 17 seconds and prevents regen. Pretty much enough to kill any squisher heroes from across the map

No but really. Use the mute feature. Do it early and often.

For the Daily challenge do you have to win your game before the timer runs out or just start?
Anti Mage destroys DS.

Brow boots, farm lane, use ult when teamfights or low hp, get aghs, then whatever your team needs.

I've got 25 cards so far (with 2 duplicates). Both my Fear cards are now out of date
That's why I was surprised to see people say they don't drop often! Guess the rolls just went in my favour.

Cyborgmatt bought a Wii U and MK8. We have lost him.
CK doesn't suck in pubs though.
But I guess I shouldn't be surprised at what people do in my beetroot bracket.

Aaand the video of the cast is up. Watch Ellen "Phantom Cancer" Pudge carry the game (more or less):

I called it "bash me, Lina" because, well, seeing a game with superbasher-lina is pretty rare. Sorry for the mediocre audio, but Youtube wrecked my upload. At least it's 1080p.

There is nothing worse then the feeling of letting your teammates down, especially when one of them is working hard, keeping everyone organized and making big plays
I did my best and our loss isn't all on my shoulders but it still hurts, because I wanted so badly to win for our tidehunter who was doing his very best to make up for the rest of the team.
* glances at dotabuff*
Only 276 games on record, I can't imagine how frustrated you guys with thousands of games played get when you know exactly how and why you let people down as opposed to having vague ideas.

This happened to me not 10 minutes ago. I was playing Storm Spirit and had 16 mins Orchid + Treads, so I decided to be cute and get a Bloodstone and not a Hex
Almost threw the game because i died 3 times in a row and had a 2 charge BS and was contributing nothing to fights
Ended 18/5 with 14 charges though so it turned out ok

Can't wait till we can bet on ongamers and cyborgmatt.com
41:40 on the ingame clock is when it all falls apart
I'll also add you tonight. My name is steam name is Boo Boo Bear. I have around 80 hours played, but I can really only manage to play Lich with any sort of success.
Does anyone have any good tips for starting to learn melee champs? Like how to limit getting harassed when trying to farm early in the game? I am scared to go melee, because I am having problems with bots stunning me and keeping me down. I don't want to play in a real game until I can get a better grasp on positioning.
Anybody else always need to take a break after one game? Solo que is just so exhausting. Played a game today as DP with a riki and natures prophet vs visage/tinker/sha sha. Dirty rat dota momentum swinging in both directions... NP says he's gonna buy a blink dagger. We go down a rax, they go down a rax. We finally win but I can't play again after that.
I'm going to add you aswell

Friend Request sent.
Just going to toss up the situation and ask you guys what I should have been doing. It's me (Crystal Maiden) and Tiny in bottom lane against Phoenix & Silencer. I want Tiny to get farm but how do I facilitate that? Should I have pulled our creeps into the bottom jungle minions early to help keep the fight close to our tower, gotten gold from the jungle minions, and gone around putting up wards with the money I got from the jungle and leave Tiny to hug the tower as best as possible until I can get back? How do I help Tiny (or any melee carry) best in that situation?

Yes, always when solo queueing. Games take 50-60 minutes because everyone won't stop farming when the game could have already been over. That and getting teammates to cooperate is just tiresome.

Lich is the best, so useful.
As for harassing/taking harass with melee heroes, my understanding is that the melee hero relies on a ranged hero (like Lich!) to keep the enemies at a safe distance. This is also why dual melee lanes are generally a bad idea.
If the enemy wants to attack your melee carry, they will have to eat autoattacks an nukes from the ranged support. The melee hero buys a stout shield and tangoes at the start to lessen and heal off the damage he does take. Some melee heroes, like Axe, have low-mana ranged skills too, allowing them to harass a bit as well. It may be hard to judge the 'safe' distance you can be at at any time, but with some experience you'll learn spacing/positioning yourself as a melee hero.
EDIT:
Cool! Just PM me if you can't find my account, more people have the same boring name.
I have no idea why you chose the most painful game in the world to cast, but I commend you for it.
Everytime the enemy gets close to the creeps you hit them with your W and then get a few right clicks in.
The creeps will chase you for a second (don't let them hit you!) which will reposition them, and then they'll be in a better spot for tiny to hit. And then you must aggressively deny any friendly creep below 50% so your wave doesn't push.
And then when the enemy comes back, do it again, make them use all there regen, and then they leave or you kill them.
If nobodies around at 53 you stack the pull camp, at 14 you pull the creep wave.
I don't even like carry although someday I wanna be skilled enough to play PA outside of diretide matches. I was waiting to pick because I wanted to pick the right support instead of instalocking kotl or something and getting a carry who didn't need much mana or watching . Suddenly the team was tide, lich, Np and pudge. I should have just sent the np safelane and picked up a sandking and jungled but I didn't think about it until later. Instead my team got my lousy Luna . Our pudge fed huskar early on while Lich and I struggled against invoker + silencer. I farm like garbage on a luna and I had to buy our wards several times, so it took me forever to get anything and I am positive I made some bad item choice decisions which didn't help.
If it hadn't been for our godly tidehunter leading us over voice and helping us stay coordinated we'd have lost a lot sooner. He helped us land some crazy double ravage into eclipse into chainfrost combos and we even took the first set of rax. Things looked good but eventually fell apart. Everyone on the team had some minor to major fail moments and it just sucks because we could have won and I would have been really proud of it because I wanted to impress the tide who was working so damn hard.
I'm glad you still won, I imagine you won't be getting cocky again anytime soon?
Wow Mason looks nothing like I expected https://twitter.com/Arteezy/status/473956264146268160
which one is he
the big one in the middle
huh. you're right I didn't expect that
Last game I decided to try a 'max germinate first build' as weaver going 1-1-4-1, since it was a solo tiny. I immediately regretted my decision once the more of the enemy team showed up in my lane. I also did a really bad buy back that accomplished nothing by throwing a ton of money away. We were doing well early to, I'm so sorry team.There is nothing worse then the feeling of letting your teammates down, especially when one of them is working hard, keeping everyone organized and making big plays

Had a good game ruined because the 3 stack on my team didn't want to end. I don't understand how it's fun to farm a rapier when the game is over and the other team isn't even trying anymore.
peruvian chairs?
I sure hope it's not that one you paid millions to ship.
why do you hate yourself
do you need help
Edit: btw milk got a quelling later on because he wanted to creep faster, not because he sucks at last hitting

I'm playing SK. We're all level two or so. PA dives on me at tower when I'm full health and full mana. Stun, duststorm, tower wrecks her. She then says over all chat "GG noob team won't help."
Ooooohkaaaaaayyyy...............
I think i have a sniper addiction boys. Literally. I also like how with him we often come back from absurd xp disadvantages. Like:

http://dotabuff.com/matches/694370306 10k
http://dotabuff.com/matches/689464635 The greatest comeback, 20k+
83.3% wr last week with him ez
Troll is also really good again, that ulti so abusable, and the no cast time axes make him a strong laner again. Too bad his 3rd is literally shit. Stats are better than leveling it up past 1.
