Lich, all you have to do is eat a creep outside of the enemy's xp range, use your q if they try to get fancy and use your ulti once the enemy team inevitably clumps up.

Just make sure you use sacrifice out of enemy xp range.

My two HoN friends said they'd give Dota a try yesterday and servers crashed in our two games, they agreed to go again today and servers are busted again...looks like I'm doomed to solo queue forever

Wait, how recent are we talking, here? USE has been having on and off issues for weeks. USE was having issues during the 2v2 tourny.

Their EUW servers used to be down/having issues literally all the time. For years. They also have pretty regular server issues, but probably not as bad as USE has been the past month or so, for the most part.

All I can say is that *I* have not had any issues. No disconnects, no lag, no problems. I don't speak for anyone but myself, of course. I occasionally have to re-connect during the initial loading phase, but nothing else.
ymmv.
Europe: Yes.
NA: Extremely rare. Stable 90% of the time. 5% frustrating lag (> 150ms). 5% real problems.

Do they get the exp as well?

Yes.
And so does Blizzard.
It's almost like having money doesn't magically fix any potential issues, unlike what their random reddit fans think.

lol nobody has servers as bad as valve's
As long as they are close enough, yes. Just fall back a bit and eat the creep when they're next to your t2 tower.
Also, always eat the melee creep it gives more xp(iirc) and it will give you more mana.
Diablo 3 invalidates what you've just said.

this. keep it real. Dota servers have an order of magnitude more problems than LoL or anyone else. NA in particular. TF2 official servers pretty stable tho.

...You're being sarcastic right?
Valve have at least tried to avoid what WoW falls prey too, where they can't buy and maintain enough servers to hold all the players that rush to a new expansion because they would be wasted after the first couple of weeks when lots of people leave again. Dota rises much more gradually. But yeah, it's probably about time they upgrade again.

oh yea Blizzard has by far the worst dedicated servers in the fucking industry. Diablo 3 runs like shit because of their servers, never mind sometimes not even being able to log in. And I don't play WoW but I've heard the recent stories.
So yea I can agree Blizzard takes the crown for shit servers.
start playing random draft and first pick him. If he's not in the draft, try learning a new hero
he'll aways be in the draft, never any supports you actually want to play

Now a days they're constantly DDOSed .-.
They were DDos'd for a week like 2 months ago. Apart from that incident I don't remember a single time that happened.

A TB in my game pulled out some of the most incredible sunders to keep me Naix fighting.
This was after I gave him some "constructive" criticism.

not sure they even tried. rares were fuckin lost!
lesson: never, ever bet on a team in a small-time tourney who already has their spot secured.

how do I type like rtz in game?
also why does he always get 2 rop on his carries?

played first game in a while... like 200 ping. wtf. why so much.
how's the packet loss?
also, avatar source?
I remember Aui saying that 3 armor for 200 gold was really a good value, I guess 6 armor for 400 is just for the huge damage mitigation.

Literally Dawngate.
I won't criticise Riot for trying to improve the look of their game, I think it's great they're updating it. Looks like it has much more sensible colour palette as well compared to the usual neon colour garbage.

I took him mid and owned face with it in my first all hero attempt with him. No one at my skill level knew how he worked and just let me stack Shadow Poison all day. That damage gets ridiculous pretty quickly.

How do you guys build slark? Specifically what's your first big item? I know he's versatile but I've tried both blink dagger and shadow blade and they both have pros and cons. Or do you guys build something else?

For the Emperor?
there wasn't a lot of it, things were just delayed a bunch
avatar is a set i'm submitting later this week

Treads and dagger are my core items slark. The next few items really depends of the enemy lineup. You could go bkb, skadi, orchid, sny or orchid. He's really flexible in terms of items.
