Dota 2 - "slapping your ballsack against the keyboard waiting for the pretty bars above the enemys h - Games

[QUOTE=The Luftwaffle;35976928]I agree on him being one of the best blademail carriers (got fucked up a while back while trying to carry as Morphling when the enemy got blademail on their Axe and Clockwerk), and his taunt's ability to pull people from stealth (works great against Sand King).[/QUOTE] Yeah, I have met Sand King several times and it works pretty well. But so does any area stun/silence.

True.

[QUOTE=IAmAnooB;35976875]but Axe doesn't work in the current meta, as it is right now: pushing teamfight power. So in that sense Axe is less useful.[/QUOTE] Axe doesn't work as a character because everything he does doesn't stack up against the people he needs to compete with (Lesh, Earthshaker, etc.).

Just increase str gain a bit, he's supposed to tank damage, while Tidehunter just walks around looking stupid and pressing E once in a while during fights, still he's better "tank" than Axe. Also the case of Kunkka, he's supposed to hit enemy once and run away mostly, still he has more str than Axe. Increase movespeed from 290 to 300-305, since Lesh just outdoes him in damage half because of that reason and he's not a tank anyways. Increase range in taunt and Helix from 275 to 350~ish. Reduce Taunt's and Ult's manacost a bit, or increase int gain per lvl. Damage scaling on helix, based on str or attack damage. This would make Axe a bit more stronger pick, we shall see what Icefrog does with him.

[QUOTE=Daimao;35973372]I think I came across a Facepunch member just now on the US East servers named kurt cubain. He was pretty fun to play against; were it not for the fact that my nooby self (and my fellow Radiant teammembers) got slaughtered by his team. Someone disconnected and soon the rest of my team followed. Hopefully I'll get to play you again sometime with a slightly more co-operative team and a hero I'm more familiar with. :)[/QUOTE] thats clandestine aka ifaux, he was banned and i dont think he has an account on fp any more. i play with him a lot [editline]16th May 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=Maruhai;35976621]Hey people of the Dota, I have a question again. Is using his ult as Anti Mage for the sole purpose of cancelling a tp (when you're sure to have the kill afterwise) is worth it ? Is the same true for stopping channeling spells such as Black Hole, or even Dismember ?[/QUOTE] tp probably not, black hole yes dismember no

[QUOTE=Smashman;35971483]I found it for those interested. dota_spectator_mode 0 = Directed. 1 = Free Camera. 2 = Player Perspective.[/QUOTE] Did you bind those commands to some keys, or how do you use them so that spectating is more easy than using the "thing on top right"?

note to self: being a good sf doesn't mean shit because he's a bad hero 80% of the time

sf is just sniper with easier farming, hes not that great [editline]16th May 2012[/editline] by that i mean he suffers from the same problems sniper has, hes squishy as fuck, needs decent farm and has no escapes. he doesnt have snipers range to make up for it either

But he has a good teamfight ult.

SF is way more fun than Sniper IMO. But yeah, he is ultra squishy. With max souls and even just a Desolator, you hit like a truck, and razes are amazing early game, but once it hits late game you just start dying or start being on really low health if you aren't really careful. I'm thinking of building a Vanguard or something on him the next time I play him, cause even with Strength Treads, BKB, and some armor items, everything hurts a lot. Maybe an urn for healing between fights? I dunno. (I really like armor-reduction builds on him by the way. Desolator + AC + his passive means that everyone you auto-attack gets effected by the equivalent of a level 3 Slardar ultimate)

[QUOTE=Gate;35979634]this is true, but isnt SF better? aoe nukes, aoe ultimate, armor debuff and damage buff makes him not so bad early and mid game[/QUOTE] hes better early-mid game, no question, but it evens out as the game goes on, i would say sniper can probably outcarry a sf with equal amounts of farm

sniper is underrated imo

A Sniper with a quick desolator and max range is a pretty scary thing to be facing when trying to defend or attack in a lane. It's just the problem that almost everyone knows he's an easy gank and free gold.

I just realized how awesome Heaven's Halberd is. There was this overly fed Clinkz on the enemy team which became completely useless for 4 seconds with Disarm.

[QUOTE=Dragory;35980046]I just realized how awesome Heaven's Halberd is. There was this overly fed Clinkz on the enemy team which became completely useless for 4 seconds with Disarm.[/QUOTE] It's poor man's Sheep Stick, but with stats that works on more heroes.

So i was playing against bots for my first time as dragon knight (attempting to follow the boss guide) Bounty hunter and Crystal maiden go top. Drow goes mid. I go bottom and ursa is jungling next to me. I was laning solo against Sven and one other (lina or venge) A few minutes into the map and i am at level 6 with one quick death. Drow is one level ahead and everyone else is a few behind. Ursa was doing the worst. So i tell ursa that he would do better lanning with me (he was doing awful at jungling) and that i wouldn't have died if i had a teamate with me (we would both be doing better) So i die a second time and realise that ursa is only slightly better than half my level and he's fucking wandering the jungle uselessly. the convosation went something like this "ursa wtf are you doing?" "jungling" "you'd do better if you were laning with me. you are only level 4 (or something like that) (the enemy were around level 7) " So he's cool enough to reply with "duh, i am jungling, what did you expect me to be? Lvl 10?" which got a Lol from drow. Anyway. He killed rosh. killed and died a few times. killed rosh again (i was farming and experimenting with ancient stacking) in the end We both had 6 deaths. However, he had 22 more kills than me and the level cap (10 more above me). At least i admited i was bad and needed to get better if you admit to awfulness.. you do get sympathy.

[QUOTE=Bat-shit;35978997]Did you bind those commands to some keys, or how do you use them so that spectating is more easy than using the "thing on top right"?[/QUOTE] Yup, bound to a key.

Naix is amazing. That is all

[QUOTE=Banned?;35976086]Low range taunt, puts himself directly in harms way to initiate more so than any other initiator, ultimate encourages kill stealing, slow jungle, low ability to gank, completely based on luck to do any real damage, does nothing in team fights past initial initiate, only use in lane is an early gimmick strat, pushes the lane no matter what Maybe I can pull two or three more reasons but all those I instantly thought of.[/QUOTE] Axe falls off so hard lategame it's not even funny. A bunch of games axe killed us and easily helped the other team push us all the way to our towers (Rax). Next thing you know hes useless and we come back.

axe just isnt tanky enough to sustain damage from a well-farmed team lategame

jakkarra wanted me to post this [t]http://puu.sh/v55A[/t]

Shit's gonna hit the fan with the next update. There will be lots of raging.

I really hate Skadi's background.

[QUOTE=Lance99;35981338]Shit's gonna hit the fan with the next update. There will be lots of raging.[/QUOTE] ?? is techies coming?

[QUOTE=Lance99;35981338]Shit's gonna hit the fan with the next update. There will be lots of raging.[/QUOTE] Why? Hats? There is going to maintenance later today so..

[QUOTE=Lance99;35981338]Shit's gonna hit the fan with the next update. There will be lots of raging.[/QUOTE] what do you mean

If hats are coming today I'm sucking the dick of every member of this thread that wants me to do so.

[QUOTE=Maruhai;35981561]If hats are coming today I'm sucking the dick of every member of this thread that wants me to do so.[/QUOTE] Done! [editline]12[/editline] I mean... Uhh.. Ew.

i've lost the past 8 games in a row because someone either A) waits till the match is at least 1 minute in before they finally pick their dude B) someone disconnects right away because they suck dick or C) someone fucks around all game feeds the other team like crazy, and just does the typical "u mad" response. i swear i always get put on the team where people don't listen for shit and act like full on retards, yet i'm always getting matched against team korea
