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/698783083 15k exp advantage
http://dotabuff.com/matches/697821370 10k
http://dotabuff.com/matches/694902200 10k exp, and here we didn't even turn the xp back, we won still 7k exp behind
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.

Have you hacked your game so you are always dire or something, I swear I never get radiant with you.

Daily Hero for me is Storm Spirit. I have never played Storm Spirit in a real game. This could be a real challenge.

Think of your mana like a health bar. If you don't have the mana to get in, do your thing and get out, don't jump. The Blitz coaching Pyrion video on his channel has some more basic tips if you want.
 
got my first daily hero done.

Took my half a match after going mid against a Drow and kind of losing because i never played TA before, to realize i could use meld to nuke people as i right clicked them. After that it was smooth sailingish. We won 23 to 33 and were down. good feels. Now time for yoga.

That Enigma was bad though. Look at his skill build.

Dude likes him some malefice that's for sure.

who doesnt max midnight pulse asap its a gud spell

Certainly is, probably is one of the best damage abilities in the game late game. That said, I typically just get a value point early, but I prefer the extra duration on malefice as far as levelling goes.

4% hp loss per second is still highly useful as a relatively cheap zoning spell, and you really need the duration on malefice to keep them in the aoe for more than a second or two anyway.

What I will often do is hold off on demonic conversion level 4, as 3 points is more than enough for jungling. At level 8 with a 3/3/1/1 build, soul ring and mek, you can get a lot of shit done.

Seen some people hold conversion at level 2, but level 2 conversions are a little bit thin for my level of micro.

Can someone please help me, I've been googling and my google skills are failing.

I want to get the Hellborn Grasp and the Dragon Knight Immortal but I don't know how to tell if it's a con on the Marketplace. Could someone give me some guidance?

I was almost where you are now, but I took a step back and quit solo ranked until I get good enough so I can single handidly win games. I realised that Dota wasn't fun anymore in ranked.

I can understand that you're especially frustrated because of your equipment being broken though.

Is the GAF Mumble server dead?

mumble has been kind of shitty recently I think, remember someone saying that.

Hellborn Grasp will have one of four Warlock specific gems.
DK Immortal will have DK related ones.

Just buy the cheapest one available, or search within that item for a certain gem type.

Could you maybe flesh this out more? I feel like an idiot as I don't really understand. You mean like the gem will say Warlock on it? Sorry, this is all new to me so I'm confused :(.

http://steamcommunity.com/market/listings/570/Inscribed Hellborn Grasp?filter=immortal
http://steamcommunity.com/market/listings/570/Inscribed Kindred of the Iron Dragon?filter=immortal

The gem won't say Warlock specifically, but it will have one of his skills on the gem. For example, one might say "golems summoned" or "golem kills," etc.

DK's would have "dragon tail stuns."

Only buy the Inscribed version of those items. Just pay attention to the gems attached and make sure they're the right ones.

Thanks for the info and for being patient, RS4- :)
 
Asap is after you level the other stuff right? Cause the ministuns are amazing for ganking and the little guys are great for taking towers? It's not that MP is bad just that everything else is even better.

was a joke :p

although i usually do get one value point in it but thats just to wreck trees

I've been playing ranked for the hero challenges and it's much less enjoyable than random draft or single draft. Way worse attitudes in players, super quick to blame each other, just toxic

Man Kotl and Veno can stall a push for a long god damn time. Also I seriously miss veno in pro play. I don't care what needs to happen in the meta to make it so but I want more Veno and more visage.

Everyone wants to win, and it's understandable, it's just that a lot of players try to win by themselves instead of using teamwork.

At least in my trench.

Look at AM ability progression. Look at Rubik's...

AM usually just burns DS's mana early on and just leaves him standing there.

If he didn't take blink at 1 I could've killed him, if he didn't take shield I would've killed him. Burning his mana doesn't work, ds will get soul ring first and the shells will kill am first if he has invested points into mana break.
