What is a good noob friendly hero that isn't a support? I need to teach my friend to play something but venomancer.

Other than that, Shadow Demon is a pretty easy ganker/support, and Broodmother isn't too hard to play against newbies.

Lich is really easy and fun. That was my first support, and I actually helped even though I was a total tool at the game (still am).

I'll try to teach him Skelly then.

[QUOTE=SXBIG;36082099]Brood was his first hero, he didn't really do good with the Q and R skills. I'll try to teach him Skelly then.[/QUOTE] Make sure, if nothing else, he doesn't get lifesteal aura until at least level 10.

[QUOTE=Rats808;36082116]Make sure, if nothing else, he doesn't get lifesteal aura until at least level 10.[/QUOTE]Made sure he did that. He played Brood like a week ago, I'll make him try her one more time along with SK.

Oh my, Skeleton King sure is fun to a + rmb Haven't lost a single match with him [img]http://bbq.to/1337892174817_589b.png[/img]

[QUOTE=Rats808;36082116]Make sure, if nothing else, he doesn't get lifesteal aura until at least level 10.[/QUOTE] Was in a game where 3 of our teammates were calling our SK a noob for not maxing vampiric aura first. ._. We lost.

[QUOTE=Da_Maniac_;36081176]I do hope Valve goes through community created items [b]A BIT MORE THOUGHTFULLY[/b] than with Team Fortress 2.[/QUOTE] Yep, but there was promotional items too in TF2 which accounted for a lot of items seen on pubs. There won't be promotionals in Dota2, pretty sure of that.

[QUOTE=Rockersm;36081870]Really sick of picking US East as my server location and having people who speak Spanish play with me instead of picking the fucking South American server. :suicide: Just had one say "Learn my language I don't give a fuck about english" in a US East server...[/QUOTE] It's because the Southamerican server is technically Brazilian. Chances of finding anyone speaking spanish there are very, very low. Still it's not justification for that line, if they wish to play in an english server they should speak the language, or atleast not act like that.

I hate Ursa. I mean, I usually meet him in the same lane. He has no chances of killing me, and I keep killing him with my lane partner, all the time. At some point, he gets fucking powerful and nobody seems to be able to kill him. And it´s always the same with Ursa, Bounty, and Bane. I feel like they are a bit OP, or at least cheap. I don´t know, but there is something in their gameplay that bothers me: a normal player can rise above everything with those heroes, and even going alone and survive most of the times KILLING WHAT THEY MET. Just my thoughts. I´ve seen level 6 (?) Ursas ignoring the towers trying to kill my partner, doing it, and leaving with no consequences. Maybe their ult cooldown is crap? I also love when there is a Drow Ranger with me (i´m ALWAYS Sand King), wich is a really good combo, and instead of asking me for stun, or even waiting for it, they keep shooting those ice arrows when they are far enough from me to not being stunned, so the leave, coming back time later. Repeat until Drow Ranger rages about not getting farm/kills. A friend of mine plays as Drow, he gets the heroes (200 gold if I remember correctly?), and I get creepers, around that much too. Works fine, but Sand King is always the center of al insults. Note: I´m not that noob, really

[quote]- Fixed Ogre Magi only commenting on Multicast kills, which kinda makes sense since those are the sweetest, most skilled ones [/quote]

Let me rephrase how I feel about cosmetic items so everybody can read it okay [b][u]VALVE SHOULD BE THE ONE MAKING COSMETIC ITEMS, OR CHOOSING WHAT COSMETIC ITEMS GOES INTO DOTA2.[/u][/b]

"or choosing what cosmetic items goes into dota 2" so now you are telling me EA has been choosing which items get into tf2? uh

[QUOTE=Bat-shit;36082727][b][u]VALVE SHOULD BE THE ONE MAKING COSMETIC ITEMS, OR CHOOSING WHAT COSMETIC ITEMS GOES INTO DOTA2.[/u][/b][/QUOTE] That's exactly what happens since forever.

[QUOTE=Bat-shit;36082727] [b][u]VALVE SHOULD BE THE ONE MAKING COSMETIC ITEMS, OR CHOOSING WHAT COSMETIC ITEMS GOES INTO DOTA2.[/u][/b][/QUOTE] Uh what, this has always been the case.

There was a typo, it should say GO instead of GOES. But with the Workshop, doesn't the masses of community get to vote which community creations might get added?

yeah no latest tf2 item that was added was contributed ike 7 days before that, rating and commenting stuff doesn't really matter they choose whatever the fuck they want

[QUOTE=Bat-shit;36082870]There was a typo, it should say GO instead of GOES. But with the Workshop, doesn't the masses of community get to vote which community creations might get added?[/QUOTE] In the end it's always Valve who makes the decision what items are accepted. The voting just gives Valve a good idea what the community wants.

While we're at the top(or near) [b][u][h2]Valve is adding an option to disable cosmetics.[/h2][/u][/b] also [t]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4379567/modelling/2012/aprilprojects/tinkercourier/courier.PNG[/t]

Is it bad I like spectating more than playing the game? It's just hard to get into, I'd rather watch the games themselves unfold. It's more entertaining than watching me fail around with Dragon Knight or Skeleton King, feeding the opposing team.

Yay connection. 4 abondons now ! And there I was hoping that Engima game could have a nice twist.

i dont get why people recommend skeleton king to new players, yes he have only one active skill, but in my opinion new players shouldnt play carries.

[QUOTE=Gate;36083150]i dont get why people recommend skeleton king to new players, yes he have only one active skill, but in my opinion new players shouldnt play carries.[/QUOTE] But you eventually need to try one carry before you try a different one and so on, and in that case Skeleton King is one of the best choices.

[QUOTE=Bat-shit;36082870]There was a typo, it should say GO instead of GOES. But with the Workshop, doesn't the masses of community get to vote which community creations might get added?[/QUOTE] ... and that´s what people wanted, so Valve gave us this opportunity. You are not the only one, and if people want to vote the items, they will get that voting system.

[QUOTE=Gate;36083150]i dont get why people recommend skeleton king to new players, yes he have only one active skill, but in my opinion new players shouldnt play carries.[/QUOTE] You need to start playing carries someday, and SK is the easiest of the game.

I see.. Also, the cosmetics items are not totally gonna consist of community creations, but stuff made by Valve too? Wonder what's going to be the ratio in the end.. or maybe fuck this subject. [editline]25th May 2012[/editline] Speaking of carrys, it's not nice to have too many of them in your team.

[QUOTE=Bat-shit;36083345]I see.. Also, the cosmetics items are not totally gonna consist of community creations, but stuff made by Valve too? Wonder what's going to be the ratio in the end.. or maybe fuck this subject.[/QUOTE] Just look at how cosmetics are working on TF2, because it's going to be the exact same thing.
