Really interested in jumping into the map maker but I'm worried my maps won't be ported over when source 2 hits so I'm reluctant to start putting serious work into a map.
Is there a go-to general guide/over view to the map tools in dota 2? I fooled around with the sc2editor when I was kid, and now I know a few programming languages, I'd really like to work on a custom map.
Atleast give him a few months, Invoker and Lone Druid were strong picks for like years. Last time Troll was picked competitively he was nerfed within like a month. I think rampage permanently burned icefraud and how he handles Troll.

The map should work fine, the mod tools run in source 2. Valve has broken stuff in the past when adding new features, so you may need to adjust it when custom games fully launch.
for resources, there is a dev wiki with guides and info, a subreddit with a lot of resources, and I know there was an irc channel mod maker used to gather in that I assume is still alive.
Wait what? Were those guys your friends?
sk/jugg/ww the other 2 were randoms
Nice, Lycan, Slardar, and I were partied.
Idk why their NP went Shadow Blade against a Lycan clearly going Necros and a Slardar.

How do you get the data?
Can't reapply the debuff.
I think flex support is the right option.
The only thing she needs is levels, which is balanced by the fact she is a FUCKING HORRIBLE LANER (sans super agressive tri) and even worse offlaner. Can't jungle early due to mana issues either.
In current meta you don't want to give up mid to WW, but I could see it being viable like a BM/DP.
Wins are offlane.
Lost game was just losing teamfights since PL didn't get his diffusal until like minute 28 since he kept dying like an idiot and out Slark had 1.8k ping spikes.
Offlane: People just don't deward and I get XP. I get tranqs for sustain and armor, then build into Force/Soul Ring/Medallion depending on comp and how laning phase goes. I think after you hit 6/7 you can play like a roaming Skywrath since you have 2x slow and a low CD ult. If you kept up in levels the nuke hit it hits level 4 is insanely broken for pushing / defending. Also oneshots ranged creeps until like minute 38.
Most recent game was vs an Alch and ES so I could dodge stun and fly over fissure so I never died in the offlane.
On items:
I like force over blink since if caught out I can use it and cliff walk, and also move enemies I want focused together, plus the extra mana is nice.
Medallion I feel is really strong since it helps you focus targets, gives you nice armor, it's just so cheap for what it does and helps with WW 3.1 INT gain.
Euls is no brainer.
Vlads was late game pickup for stat heavy carrys.
So far I find WW super fun to play as and the ulti isn't as broken as I thought, but still pretty damn good. People are still learning so when I Cursed -> Sven Stun -> He didn't follow up since he didn't know it went though Enigma's BKB. Oh well

It's directly pulled from the GC.
GC Active Events: k_EIngameEvent_CNY2015_PreBeast
etc
Reddit is on to you Matt! If this is real, then maybe want to watch yourself for appearing online or something. At the bottom of the friends playing Dota area you can see that Cyborgmatt is playing Arc Warden (Lvl 1).
It's probably just that profile status thing you can set, people did that all the time before Techies release where they would make it say "playing as Techies (Lvl 3)"
Follow up question, how do I pull data from the GC?
Would this be a good guide?

I doubt Matt is 12 years old and trying to impress his friends Hylian
He needs to be more sneaky with his testing

Got my third year beast win, always love getting couriers
Recently I have given myself the goal of acquiring all of the Legendary couriers in the game. Seems like a fun thing to try because couriers are probably my favorite aspect and the Legendaries are mainly the nicest ones besides the ultra expensive Immortal ones I could never buy. Damn, just checked the wiki and I have to get myself both the Jade and Gold couriers for the event. I was hoping to avoid year beast from now on...

Got into a game of Year Beast
Enemy team bought points, our year beast died instantly, there's was crazy overpowered.
Good mode.

dave is ok
aztek is ok
Every single Year Beast match someone feeds him when he first spawns.
But a kill is a kill!
it was like inverse kill-securing: ensuring that in no way you would get credit for that kill, and probably end up not having occur it at all
also new pathing ruined two of my juking attempts qq

Well I just got one of those Year Beast "game is up but then goes down" disconnects.. going to have to eat an abandon.
Think I'm going to wait a few more days before trying again.

Got demolished by a four stack. This was their lineup:

Really good. I suggest you gafstacks run a comp like this if you're gunning for couriers. You want heroes that can clash early and reliably. That means ranged stuns, range heroes, aura cleave, heal and high sustained damage.
There seem to be two ways to use year beasts so far:
1) Split push. 5 man take whatever lane their year beast is in and attempt to burst it down. Your year beast pushes another lane.
2) Fight with year beast. Usually this ends in a stalemate unless your team has the superior team fight, at which point its gg.

That works? Going have to do that. Hope the year beast shows up once more before bed, I want to play a round today.
Yeah, it works extremely well, especially against tower pushes. Beast will tank tower dmg but will take 0 of it and heal up in the process. Short cooldown, too.
My team didn't appear made for the mode but it worked well. Cent, Sniper, Wyvern, Weaver, Rhasta. Wyvern and Rhasta are pretty awesome though. The wards give you a huge advantage.
Oh also the Year Beast is affected by WW's ult so you can turn the enemy's YB against them.
Her ult also works on the YB too. Since everyone kind of groups around the beast you can get it in the AOE of the ult and just have it destroy one of the heroes. It's not really worth it to target the YB with your ult because the other team can't really bring it down fast enough without abilities
Yeah WD is the reason why I've gotten my three wins. Stun is great and his heal is good in team clashes. Ulti wrecks people since people are focused on bursting down the Year Beast.
Might go for the jadehorn courier and see how far the trophy progress goes.

Abaddon was really good for me in this mode. I already got the courier.
