I hope you just watched that Secret VP game. Slark.

yeah. it was super entertaining to watch him leaping about.

vs. playing against some cancerous awful hero like terrorblade slark is sheer joy

I've been trying to search for the bloody face Earth Spirit image but i can't find it anywhere. I did a google image search and i can't find it anywhere. I even looked on the DOTA 2 Steam hub.

Every hero is 1000x more annoying when it has Dazzle and Venge to give them 2 extra lives.

Terrorblade is fine.

 

[Razzer]

Some Jerax Pudge, lovely stuff.

 

[Gentle Rodriguez]

wait someone picked spirit breaker

ok

 

[twobear]

Terrorblade is fine.

i'm still of the opinion that deleting all the illusion heroes in dota 2 would significantly improve the amount of fun 99% of the userbase have while playing

VP.Polar like him a lot. He's a good situational hero.

When you're cloning, an easy trick is to send them all to the camp, then when they are all in position issue an attack-move command to all units anywhere on the map. They should all begin to attack the camp they are standing in if they were close enough. The other option is to just get in the habit of a-moving as you are cloning instead of right clicking. You'd be doing a-click, deselect one illusion, a-click the next place, deselect one illusion, etc. The only other trick I can think of is using the selection box. It's not as accurate, but people used to do this to split up their marines vs banelings in SC2.

For Meepo, you need to get used to hotkeys. The easiest way to practice this is to make a lobby for yourself, get 5 meepos and break them into 3 control groups. The main meepo is on one, then break the other four are in two groups of two. Practice moving around the map with your main meepo while farming the entire jungle with the other two groups. Playing micro heroes is less about being quick on the mouse and more about learning these little shortcuts to make your life easier. For instance, when I've got the two groups of farming meepos in the jungle, you can send them to two different camps, then tell each group to attack move a second camp. That way they will just move to the next camp themselves whenever they kill the first camp.

I think Lycan and Terrorblade are really good beginner micro heroes to practice. Terrorblade creates illusions much more slowly than Naga and with Lycan you only need to micro the two wolves as a group. If that's still too overwhelming, playing heroes like Luna, Drow, DK, or Gyro that can build a helm and stack ancients is a good way to get in the habit of using a second unit regularly.

thanks <3

a-clicking gets tricky when I'm spec/naga with radiance and draw aggro from a distance, but that's the price to pay for quick farm, I guess

it's easy enough to just send illusions down a lane, which almost always gives a farm advantage anyway in my tier (and helps push which nobody does, ever, for some reason) but every time I see the clock tick over to a new minute and there are unfarmed neutral camps I curse every god I can think of at that moment

I guess I'm the 1%. Take a knee peasant.

It's obviously working out, I'm surprised.

 

[Razzer]

I'd like to see an invitational tourney between LAJONS, Basically Unknown, Hellraisers, Power Rangers, 4ASC, Vega, and 2 more. What other Tier 2 teams look exciting? From Europe.

SECRET VS VPP FOR THE MILLIONTH TIME IN A WEEK, GET HYPEFSDVXC

I wonder, could the tinker march nerf be reversed with the added golem aura?

 

[Anbokr]

slark imo is the the absolute worst hero to play against as a support

ive been abusing him in pubs since 6.79, absolutely disgusting hero in pubs. he's been balanced in competitive by some hard counters like void and BS... but well, when the void counter is removed and the BS counter is softened A LOT, then yeah, hero is going be broken in competitive as well.

we'll see how this patch plays out in the coming months though

 

[Gentle Rodriguez]

No I'm okay with that hero being trash tier along with Sniper

 

[Razzer]

Some cool game ost remixes being played whilst we wait on the Dotapit stream at least.

 

[xanavi]

What if they changed slark's leash so that you could force staff out of it but the further away you got the slower you moved?

 

[OnionPowder]

I feel like I'm finally getting good at this game. It only took 400 games to finally get a grasp on the map and using my items properly. Been on a majority win for the past month. Maybe I'll finally be in high skill pub matches soon.

[Acinixys]

This game makes me really sad


Farm hard, team feeds relentlessly, manage to repel pushes for 30 minutes, get enemies Rapier and start pushing back, hold for ages thanks to X + blink combo on Kunkka

Their team fight is retarded vs ours so I lose the Rapier and they get all 3 rax and win the game

Bristleback - "gg wp Kunkka you fucking suck lost us this game"

Polar running through T1 teams as usual

Windranger useless hero.

 

[Gentle Rodriguez]

Windranger useless hero.

Sure when you go Midas > Force.

I actually think she's finally a decent hero now, if you use her as a secondary carry. Getting support items on her is ass.

I mean in this game, killing ppl is hard.

The amount of stuff secret has to use to kill off one hero is kinda absurd.
