Support NeoGAF

[Kane Zakharov]

despite all the losses, thanks to Steve, Face, Haly etc. for the games.

game's super different from League and I am enjoying it, although I realise it's frustrating to play with someone who sucks. At the moment I'm in the stage where I don't really have any idea of what my heroes and my opponents are capable of, so I'm not confident or comfortable with any action I take in the game. Like I know the basic fundamentals but this will probably be a sticking point for me for a while, until I get to grips with what the heroes can and can't do.

or even what their abilities are.

like I dunno what the fuck that Shadow Fiend was doing or why it hurt so much or whatever. There was a point in the game where we were up in kills and seemed to be doing well (?) and then suddenly we were losing and I dunno why or how.

But anyway.

Thanks for the games and for sticking it out with me. Hopefully I'll start to suck less and less :/

I'm sure we'll show signs of improvements by the time we pass the 500 hours played mark. I already had to go through similar shit in LoL, and I'm fairly certain I'm still masochistic enough to go through this process all over again.

Oh, and hi dotagaf. Thanks for the matches Steve and co.

so in a hypothetical situation in which I get diffusal on PL (of course) but want to get another thing with a passive thing so my main hero can have a certain thing while my illusions get the other thing:

1) I buy the diffusal and later buy a skadi
2) I find a safe place and drop the skadi and the diffusal
3) I pick up the skadi first and then the diffusal, and move the diffusal to the first slot
4) my big boy attacks are skadi and my illusions get diffusal mana burn?

am I understanding that correctly?

What about Maim & Sasha or whatever, I know the passive doesn't carry over but will I need to do the same thing to use that passive ability on my main hero?

Yes. Also, Maim isn't an orb any more, don't worry about it.

 

[SecretMoblin]

thank you!

 

[Night_Hand]

thank you!

If you want to be REALLY good you get a diffusal, skadi, AND a helm of the dominator.

Is it bad that I want the fireworks more then the sets from the Prediction Charm? They are amazing, I want more.

 

[Sigismundo]

like I dunno what the fuck that Shadow Fiend was doing or why it hurt so much or whatever.

You probably know this by now but his three non-ult spells are the same spell with different cast ranges. He also has two passives for D and F and you've probably been blown up by his ult at least once.

So all those people have db+?

Yeah you can't get ranked without db+

Or maybe you will but you can't see it? It's unclear.

I think you only see your ranking outside of the top 100 with db+.

That'd make sense, I can't imagine someone like Fenrir paying for db+

None of the pros actually

I don't understand Faceless Void offlane. Impossible to get *any* gold and if the opposing trilane has a decent stun you're fucked if you get caught out.

 

[Falk]

I don't understand Faceless Void offlane. Impossible to get *any* gold and if the opposing trilane has a decent stun you're fucked if you get caught out.

By conventional cosmic logic backtrack will only work against your favor, so the secret to successful void offlane is to have him on the enemy team.

This. If you're in top 100 you can see it without db+.

Poor Man's Shield, level 1 backtrack, and decent starting armor make him tanky. Timewalk gives him an escape. Timelock prevents most supports from being able to trade hits with him. He has a huge impact at level 6.

Offlaners aren't supposed to be able to easily get cs or even exp against a trilane. They're supposed to find it when they can, rotate to get runes, and then use their high impact abilities to get things done elsewhere.

Does this happen way more in US servers? I swear, in almost 2000 games in EUW I've had maybe 5 intentional feeders

You could substitute Navi US for regular Navi in that statement and it would be believable.

goddamn ppd gets some good witch doctor ults

Man with the nerfs to early pushes Necro is such a good hero right now. His ult with Ags is such a game changer mid to late game.

I love seeing brew get #rekt

I like that it's not just me but like half the dota community that can never remember if exorcism ignores evasion or not.

 

[Monochromaticx]

jeez that stomp must have been demoralizing

 

[Gentle Rodriguez]

Dota has so many exceptions to rules it's hard to keep up.

I remember being shocked that Burrow Strike doesn't go through Linken's even though it's ground target.

Didn't Linkens block fissure until a few patches ago? Fuck dota.

aren't there stuns like lions or pre-change nyx's that go through linkens when ground targetted and don't when targetted? burrowstrike doesn't work that way? so odd.

 

[aeolist]

weren't those two spells unit-target until recently?

Sigh. This cast.

HEY EE ( ° ͜ʖ͡°)╭∩╮

EE is hilarious and perfectly understandable. You guys are too easily bothered lol.

Stop being reasonable.

His voice and constant slurping is annoying. He gives some good insight I will give him that.
