Microsoft is going full Kuturagi:

It's amazing how Sony and MS have basically switched roles since the 360/PS3 launches.

Just played a game with Venomancer. We got rolled by a Sklar early but were able to put on a mean defense thanks to my bad assery with Venomancer. Encircling team fights with spitters will never not be hilarious.

I might have to buy this guy some clothes.

Aw man, I was going to be venomancer!

 

[eznark]

Ok, I'll try out Warlock tonight if I play more.

 

[McNei1y]

No, no. You keep your Venomancer. I'll have to try someone else on Kunkka's level.

Who's a hero that no one expects to be selected? I want to become mediocre with that character!

What role?

 

[McNei1y]

What role?

Initiator/Support like Kunkka. I was looking at the wiki and would Lion be a good pick? Or is there someone more random than him? I'm just not ready to go carry yet since I don't know nearly enough of every opponents abilities nor all the items.

 

[Azwethinkweiz]

I love lion. Silencer is pretty awesome too and I never see him banned.

 

[McNei1y]

Holy crap I'm going to try out Silencer! His skills look cool.

Global silence is super OP.

You should learn about orb walking. It's important with him and it's an amazing method for harassing during the lane phase.

Call of Jaurez Gunslinger is Jim Sterling approved:

I might have to pick it up now. Plus it is the first UBI game I know of which has Steam achievements and Steam cloud support.

Learn Earthshaker.

• Leave base with obs wards 6 mana potions and iron branches
• Take fissure at lvl 1
• Harass the shit out of people with fissure early game (easy first blood set-up hero).
• Get arcane boots
• Get Blink Dagger

Win game.

Earthshaker was a better support in the pre-buffed Jakiro era than he is now, but he's still a bunch of fun to play.

 

[mastershake]

Whats the best way to get up to speed on Dota? Can you play bots or something?

Have AT on your team and listen to him when he tells you what to do lol.

Edit:
Madden 25 will give you the ability to change player positions. Doesn't look like it's locked down like it was this year.

Play with us!

You can and if it translates to online I am the best drow ranger ever. You're probably better off just playing with madden gaf.

I didn't bring up ES because I envisioned a metric shitton of fail-fissures blocking us off from the enemy. The nightmares!

Yes, you can play against bots. I would recommend only playing bots for a couple of games while you're learning the most basic mechanics of the game. You need to be playing against humans to really learn the pace of things.

Some good beginners guides that helped me:

I will try this in some pub games. Thanks for the recommendation!

As for mastershake, yeah, just play with us and the basics will come to you.

And if I have to locate the fissure like I have to locate my boat, then that's already dead.

so we can now change our offensive linemen without having them lose 200 pounds!?

 

[mastershake]

Thanks for the links, AT.

I will play around with some bots at first. I need to go grab a mic/headset before i start playing with madden bros

Take everything from this game and do the opposite. Also don't play Brood.

Damn it my Crucial M4 SSD died tonight. Under a year old gonna have to send it in. Now I am on my older 1.5GB mechanical drive feels bad.

I might toss this Crucial in the trash and order a Samsung model.

 

[McNei1y]

McNei1y will be gone this weekend until Monday so no DOTA for me :\

What should my priorities be when building Warlock? Guy is crazy squishy early and also insanely slow, but getting boots early seems like it's not very supportive.
