What's the best 1vs9 hero in the game? I'm tired of trying to rely on my team mates for anything.

Probably tinker and prophet if you go full dickbag mode..

More generally any good splitpusher who scales at all well late game.

Who was the one that was constantly correcting the other guy? He was like "well, LITERALLY he has the same gold".

That guy sucks.

That's Lumi.

Yeah full Tinker PvE is a good suggestion.

Slark or the mid heroes (invoker, tinker, qop, etc...).

There should be a special hell for people who feed on purpose,.or an option to kick them or fucking something

I just have the DreamLeague on in the background, and every time Excalibur's name is uttered he's just dying left and right.

Had they banned her? Missed the draft.

I missed it too, I have to assume that's the case haha

First ban iirc.

What are Fnatic doing...

That explains it.

Don't think mouz would have needed her anyway seeing how fnatic are taking fights though :/

I swear shane is the only person paying attention....

No tinker = no win.

 

[Shorty11857]

No tinker = no win.

Excalibur seems to be pretty underwhelming on heroes other than Tinker, I mean he's not bad just not really at the level he needs to be at. His lack of experience really shows

 

[Acinixys]

No tinker = no win.

Xcalibur is pretty terrible if he doesnt get Tinker

Era come back pls

Did they all just assume that since I was like 6 levels higher than the enemy team I could take them all on 1v5 during daylight? -_-

 

[aeolist]

are the vods up for the alliance games?

Bots tend to 5 man pretty early and uncoordinated pubs don't know how to commit just enough to defend and let the carries farm freely elsewhere (if they do).

No, this was the Mouz vs Fnatic game

 

[CornBurrito]

Yeah I've noticed that all of my lost pub games were because the team split and we didn't group enough to defend. And then we'd be losing towers and the closest dude would rush in alone. Die. Then everyone else tried to get in and died because then it was like 3vs5 or 2vs5.

I think the biggest problem is that a lot of people don't know when to stop the laning phase and start grouping together.

 

[Shinypogs]

Well you can split up vs the AI and force them to go back to defend. At least the lower skilled AI anyway, idk if the harder ones tend to mass tp or retreat to protect buildings when they could be winning. It's actually kinda sad if you're attacking two vital points at once. I've seen the AI freak out and just move back and forth a few inches trying to figure out where the priority lies.

This Slardar destroyed my under-farmed Void in a game.

We were defending the T3 mid tower, Void is slightly out of position: Slardar blinks, stuns and destroys Void in like 2 (critical ?) hits.

yeah..that match looks interesting.

I have a 90% win rate with wraith king

Dire just did not know where they could farm on the map, but the interesting point to me is how a few mistakes (position, ultimate) by Faceless Void can come at the cost of victory in no time (here, Slardar just needed 3 seconds). Relying merely on Void is really risky.

There was another game earlier today during which Void was destroying our team and missed his ultimate near Roshan. The sanction was immediate. I think it was this game: http://dotabuff.com/matches/718981894

 

[Shorty11857]

The Bloodseeker on my team has this really clever strategy of silencing the other team's Luna, I can't see this ending badly at all

daaang this first alliance game was such a stomp

I punked out of playing mid since we had a viper and didn't do all that well and bought wards all game, but I've definitely learned how to use disrupt more effectively, and I even got this out of it:
