DotA2 - Original Thread

My bad. I was thinking too much about early game, when mana issues are painfully apparent on Nyx. You also got a point on the actual Mek cost, but oh man I'd need a competent team to maximize the Mek heals. Otherwise it's a waste of 2.3k gold that could have gone towards a Dagon/Ghost Scepter.

I mean people get mek on Lone Druid.


on the bear.







yeah.

you can use shadow blade or dagon or mek actives if you get a soul ring or point booster. it's amusing.

medic bear is totally legit yo

people were trying to figure out if you could go super medic bear with the new bloodstone; sadly suiciding bear doesn't activate the heal.

Did they change Windrunner's shackle-shot?? Or is she bugged or something? Successful shackle-shots in almost every position, feels much much much easier than the first games I had with her. I was watching a stream earlier and they had a similar problem, "successful" shackle-shot with no trees, creeps or heroes around.

That sounds like a huge bug. Shackleshot should only last as long as a mini-stun if nothing is around to shackle onto.

Hackle-shot pineapples up sometimes because dota2 angle-detection tends to be quite messed up every now and then.

Also if i wasn't so pineappleing busy i'd post a lot more here because i have a lot of things to say about some of the things discussed on the previous page.
pineapple i hate botany.

I just got finished with my last exams so I'm free! Just in time for 6.78. Those Timbersaw buffs are delicious.

I'm looking forward to playing "Anti-Mage" Huskar.

How can Slark be shut down? We did kill him a bunch of times, but he'd always take at least 1 or 2 of us with him, usually more with Riki finishing the job. In this particular game, we had Dragon Knight, Lina, Pugna, Leshrac, and Viper vs Slark, Riki, Windrunner, Axe, and I forget who else. Games against Slark are so frustrating.

[Malthe]

Gems and sentries. Essentially.
In that game pugna should banish anyone that is jumped upon. Else just get vision, stun him and burst him as fight starts, he has pitiful base stats and can be dealt with before he snowballs in a teamfight.
The only way to really handle him is gems or sentries since he'll just dispell dust.

[Dusk]

In addition, Slark has to snowball to be of any use, so keep wards up and avoid getting picked off. Every kill Slark gets makes him a lot stronger for a couple minutes.

Okay, listening to Puppey cast is pineappleing hilarious.

Anyone mind re-teaching me dota on their free time. I feel like a baby trying to eat spaghetti at this point.

I've had an idea of a DoTA meetup where us more experienced DoTA players will coach their teams of Southperrians new to the game. Helps that there's in-game chat so we don't gotta type everything. I guess I'll post details about it when I get home.

I don't know how much I can help but you can add on steam and we can play together. I should be able to answer some of your questions :)

I'm looking forward to playing "Anti-Mage" Huskar.

As if Huskar wasn't a pub stomper enough. Probably won't even need a BKB with all that resistance. Also something's wrong when he gets more magic resistance than Anti-Mage.

And made. Perhaps you can convince some other LoLers to come with you to DoTA and give it a try.
