There are not enough OP abilities in DOTA 2 at the moment. Mainly because we dont have Abaddon, Phantom Assassin, Magnataur or Ogre Magi yet. I swear the OP hero whiners are gonna have a field day with Borrowed Time, Coup de Grace, Reverse Polarity and Multi-cast.

Ogre Magi also holds the title for best/worst hero in the game because it's pure luck. :v: Phantom Assassin is a pubstomper. Mag...Mag will be fun.

Multi Cast and Polarity aren't that bad. Neither is Borrowed Time, because who would attack him during the ult's time? Also come on patch, holy shit.

[QUOTE=Banned?;35799983]Time to find out if those Lycan games last night were flukes or not.[/QUOTE] Speaking of Lycan, Infused currently running one in the Gosuleague.

Or for those who don't feel like clicking the link: [QUOTE]Some heroes SEEM like they would work great in comp. games, but are never picked. I was wondering if anyone else feels this way. A few examples- [quote][b]Admiral Kunkka[/b] [img]http://www.dota2wiki.com/images/thumb/8/89/Kunkka.png/80px-Kunkka.png[/img] This is the most noticeable one. He hits like a truck, has great STR gain to become a natural tank (and to hit harder as he builds more STR items), and his massive amount of AoE fits into the current Pushing Meta. In Purge's opinion, it's because his skills are difficult to land, but I can't accept that. With the prominence of heroes like DS and Enigma, his AoE is devastating in teamfights. Not to mention his Rum buff effectively gives your teammates double HP in a team-fights.[/quote] [quote][b]Omniknight[/b] [img]http://www.dota2wiki.com/images/thumb/a/ab/Omniknight.png/80px-Omniknight.png[/img] This one confuses me too. Giving your team near physical immunity is INSANE. A free BKB is nice, too. He can be either a farm independent support OR farm up and nail people into the ground.[/quote] Anyone else have a bone to pick with the current must picks/must bans?[/QUOTE]

Abilities that are hard to land in pubs are stupidly hard to land against professional gamers, because they know how to play. Thats why also heroes like Pudge arent played much.

Mag...Mag will be fun.[/QUOTE] Abaddon will be so fun in pubs, watching people go WTF when they full your hp. Ogre magi has always been one of my favorite heroes because I always get the 4x multicast at the right time, its awesome. Magnus will be my always pick when I play with friends, so many ulties that can be combined with his to make entire teamrapes.

[QUOTE=RagerTrader;35800063]Or for those who don't feel like clicking the link:[/QUOTE] omni isnt picked because hes just a chen who cant push and is totally countered by diffusal

So other than Phantom Lancer, what else do you guys expect to see in tonight's update? I wouldn't be surprised to see the full item system.

[QUOTE=Santz;35800131]Thats why also heroes like Pudge arent played much.[/QUOTE] Pudge's hook is single target, though. it serves little purpose in team-fights other then tkaing out a support. Torrent is an AoE skill that can be easily stacked with other skills, like DS's Vacuum or Enigma's Black Hole.

[QUOTE=butters757;35800190]So other than Phantom Lancer, what else do you guys expect to see in tonight's update? I wouldn't be surprised to see the full item system.[/QUOTE] I'd say possibly another hero as well(Chaos Knight, Ogre Magi, Luna, Meepo?), as PL was pretty much done in the ladt update, plus an updated ui and item icons.

[QUOTE=butters757;35800190]So other than Phantom Lancer, what else do you guys expect to see in tonight's update? I wouldn't be surprised to see the full item system.[/QUOTE] I hope there are news about the item system, I want it really fucking badly.

I just wish Kunnka's ult was aimed differently, like maybe click where you want the ship to land then drag which direction you want it to go then let go and it casts. Right now unless I cast it far away and run up it will just fly in some random spot and I'll hit someone by pure luck.

Torrent is an AoE skill that can be easily stacked with other skills, like DS's Vacuum or Enigma's Black Hole.[/QUOTE] Why stack a torrent with those when you can do a Jakiros Macrophyre, which does 6 times more damage, and Jakiro also pushes towers with his liquid fire passive and has a really long rage disable + aoe fire/ice wave to push creeps or harrass. Pros rarely go for flashy heroe line-ups because they are more focused on winning money, so they pick only the best. Kunkka is not a bad hero, but hes not the best.

kunkka isnt even picked in pub games for his ridiculously unreliable disables, hes picked so that you can do as much damage in one attack as possible and then maybe luck out and hit a torrent

That's how far it will go, always, no matter where you click, or which way you're facing. Your click only determines which direction it will go.

[QUOTE=Jetamo;35784474]So I managed to upload the first item to the DOTA2 Workshop. [img]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4379567/modelling/2012/aprilprojects/wat.PNG[/img] legit, no hate.[/QUOTE] I know this is really fucking late but I thought I was the only person that remembered that.

[QUOTE=Haxxer;35791794]Razor is so fun to outlane people with. Get a solo lane and you'll have an easy time against just about any setup. Once you get 3 levels of your plasma ring thingy, you can harass like a motherfucker.[/QUOTE] I hate laning against him mid, I'm always down to half hp before I even start ganking.

valve pls update

They already released updates way later than that, don't complain yet.

[QUOTE=titopei;35801104]Thats the story for all heroes. I don't think there is a hero that isn't useful to the team except the occasional bloodseeker.[/QUOTE] To be honest Bloodseeker can be useful to the team, in a teamfight, Rupture is almost a guaranteed kill as the target is either forced to walk away or either stays here and gets raped (if the rest of the team isn't dumb as fuck), and his silence works quite well on some heroes.

Phantom Lancer probably means I'll start playing Enchantress more now

And the fact Macropyre doesn't have a 2 second disable. [editline]3rd May 2012[/editline] And of course the fact the Jakiro doesn't do enough damage to be a carry. His role is crown control, but even his high spell DPS doesn't mean much if the enemy team has a pipe. Ol' CoCo has tons of utility without losing any of his damage potential.

I will always land exactly 500 feet in the direction you cast it, going through Kunkka.

Went 9-0 with Riki ~ So much win I'm new :3

It's rumoured that Cyborgmatt works at Valve now apparently. And he has access to Portal 2 Beta.

[QUOTE=Color;35801648]Went 9-0 with Riki ~ So much win I'm new :3[/QUOTE] Don't want to come off as mean but don't let it get to your head, Riki is known for pubstomping

Brewmaster is amazing, even with a terrible start I was able to completely bounce back and wreck stuff. [QUOTE=OutOfExile2;35801715]Don't want to come off as mean but don't let it get to your head, Riki is known for pubstomping[/QUOTE] He's been picked in competitive matches more often recently.

[QUOTE=OutOfExile2;35801715]Don't want to come off as mean but don't let it get to your head, Riki is known for pubstomping[/QUOTE] Yeah Riki's banned in most drafts, but he's one of the heroes I love playing.
