Any tips for surviving shit supports in lane as a carry?

only to play safe. if you can't farm you can't farm. consider switching lanes if shit is real bad.

this is one of the reasons I tend to pick ranged carries in pubs.

Ha Ha.

Sumail: "Remember when you used to play mid for EG and everyone thought you were the best?"

 

[Drkirby]

Do Sumail and RTZ live close to each other?

I don't think RTZ regrets anything, if he is fed up with PPD he is fed up, doesn't matter if they are winning or not.

Sumail is in Chicago, but I think Charlie is trying to get him homeschooled or tutored. No point in going through the public school system at this point.

So we will tame the year beast this year.

Ether we get a Year Beast Courier, Year Beast hero, or its going to be a 5v5 game mode where you can get the Year Beast to work for your team though some trickery.

The Dota 2 debut of -SuperCreeps mode.

 

[Kard8p3]

he got that full emo peter parker mode going today i see

So, place your bets. Will the Test Client version be live this week, or next week! I'm expecting this week, since its Chinese New Years based it should likely be out by the night of the 18th local time, but since that is a Wednesday and Valve likes to push the test client near the middle of the week, I think Friday is the latest for the test patch.

Wtf is Cty playing, support? He's like the best mechanical player in china.

 

[ashecitism]

In what state are the workshop tools currently? That should be a good indicator when the engine migration will be ready.

I still don't think it will hit before TI.

[Marauder Shields]

iG.Burning - confirmed

IG has been pretty mediocre recently. Interesting that he'd choose them.

Edit. Oh didn't realise that Xiao8 was joining as well. I guess that would make more sense then.

 

[call_kotaku]

Is Xiao8 the best captain in China?

 

[Monochromaticx]

xiao8 is to be back with LGD according to some dude who watched burnings strim

That sounds like a terrible idea.

 

[shira]

That sounds like a terrible idea.

He said in his interviews that school is too easy compared to Pakistan and he doesn't have any friends. I'm pretty sure he could finish any equivalencies on his own time and practice during the day.

They do this all the time with Olympic athletes and celebrity kids. It doesn't make sense for the kid to sit in a classroom from 8 to 3.

leeg players have that riot salary, no idea if its good or no tho

 

[Fee]

What do you guys think would be the easiest way to level a account to level 13 would be? I want a account to try hard on and one to practice.

 

[Drkirby]

I think it was like $50k a year per player, which isn't bad money for the lower rung teams.

 

[zombieshavebrains]

I usually go:

Soul Ring, Orb of Venom, Treads/Armlet (in the order you prefer), Heavens Halberd (the evasion is glorious and shuts down a carry), Mjollnir/SkullBasher, Assault Cuirass.

Points on Purification first, then analyze the lane, does it have magic damage? Then put points on Repel (one might suffice though), otherwise, focus on Purification/Degen Aura.
Farm up and stay in a lane with a support that has a stun. You usually jump first and start hammering them, the support stuns, and you finish with the Purification and in Early game this is devastating. If the support is not there, just play safe and spam Purifications on your creeps to farm with Soul Ring (If you are offlane and badly outlaned)

When everyone starts fighting together, just Repel yourself or the strongest carry, and go whack shit at them. Usually it starts with everyone ignoring you because "lol Omniknight" but then they see you are hiting fast due treads and Armlet of Morddigan and actually doing damage, then they panic, and then they die because you have healed yourself and killed everything in your proximity. When you feel it's safe midfight or out of mana to place a Purification, use Soul Ring.

Continue building your items, remember to always use the ultimate when you and the rest of the team are getting attacked. Never use it just to save yourself, otherwise it might go badly. Despite feeling invincible due the Heal, Invulnerability and Magic Resistance, remember that you aren't invincible, and play with your team.

This build also works very well:

http://www.dotabuff.com/matches/1069880623 but instead of a Butterfly I would go for the HH again.

Alternate build: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7MWUit--_nM

 

[Einbroch]

Standard teams (ie not TSM, not C9, not Fnatic) get about 250k per split (six months). This is then split up amongst the players, staff, and organization. At the end of the day, players get about 35k per split.

TSM gets probably double that.

Can somebody pls help me with voice chat

I only really play with one person, so balls to paying for a Mumble server. Is there no Party Chat system on Steam? I don't want the team to hear everything we say, so I need a programme which lets us talk, without interfering with game audio.

Can Skype run as an overlap like that?

Skype, google talk, steam has voice chat in their chat client.

You could run a local Mumble server, or just the use the GAF one http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=399065

Tried the Steam one but the option is greyed out. Do you need a headset connected?

Cheers. Tried running a local Mumble but it just won't accept any of my IP addresses listed in my network details

 

[rakkadakka]

Not sure why your voice chat option is greyed out but I play with 1-2 other people all the time and just use Steam voice chat.

 

[Dec]

If you want an alternative to Skype, Jitsi is better in all ways except for ease of use.

Skype works, as well as the other suggestions in here. Either using the GAF server or hosting a local mumble would be great.

A little tip, either have a seperate push to talk on your other program or leave the program of your choosing with open mic and have a "push to mute" button, so you aren't talking like Spectre to your friend.
