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

[QUOTE=Bat-shit;36039363]You know what is fun? When a game is paused, the animated Hero avatar is also paused, but not completely. For example Shadow Fiend, his body movement will pause when the game is paused, but his jaw will keep shutting and opening up.[/QUOTE] I assumed those avatars were animated textures...

So I've recently come to respect Invoker, his utility potential is just amazing, literally adapts himself to any situation. Great fun! That said, is Aghanim's worth getting on him? I'm not so sure if the price warrants the skill upgrade, but it'll be nice to hear some other people's opinions. Right now I'm building him as a flexible hero, with Force Staff and Drum being main cores on him. I'm curious also to how other people build him? I still find myself forgetting to use some skills, though. Mainly Alacrity and Ice Wall, still need to get used to him!

[QUOTE=titopei;36036629]I get wind walk first, jinada, 2 levels into shuriken, then I finish maxing windwalk with the obvious lvl 6 track. After maxing windwalk, I go for jinada then shuriken. For me, I build bottle+wand for mana and build a deso and medallion to see the enemies health melt away with all that -armor.[/QUOTE] That works, but I prefer AC over Deso because it help my teammates more, and isn't a UAM, so I'm free to pick one up later on.

(and no cost, but that doesn't matter much really, since the spell manacost are alot higher anyways) Some comboes you can try out. Deafening blast > Meteor > Icewall: This is great teamfight combo, Blast pushes them back, which makes meteor easier to hit, since they move out slower than the meteor comes from the sky, also the Icewall part, since you are building yourself a forcestaff, you could staff in after meteor and place the wall down, slows them like fuck which is great followup for your spells, and makes it easy for your team to followup. (If things get too hot, invoke a ghostwalk) Cold snap + Forge spirits (+ Alacrity): This is the most annoying 1v1 combo invo has. Cold snap does a ministun every time the target takes damage, which is where the spirits come in. They spew shit on your target, proccing coldsnap every time you can. Alacrity yourself for even more damage. Tornado + EMP: The most hated combo of invoker, altough it's nerfed now it's still good in it's way, Tornado places them into the sky for a while, while EMP is charging on the ground waiting for them to come down and burn all their mana off. Just hang out a bit before putting EMP down so they get hit by it. Tornado > icewall > meteor: Tornado once again places them on the air, you walk in, face sideways and plant the wall below them, they will be slow as fuck for the meteor to roll in. After planting the wall forcestaff yourself out and send the meteor rolling towards them. That's the main ones, the thing in combining 3 spells is to have the 1st 2 being invoked already, then having the 3rd one in queue, which means you have the balls around you before you send your 1st spells out. In case of Tornado + Icewall > Meteor you have invoked Tornado and IW already, while you have 2 Exorts and 1 Wex spinning around you. These may be hard to get off, but practise them and you'll be good in no time.

Every single weaver I have been teamed with has not spoken english, runs away from every teamfight and farmed solo the entire time. What is it with weaver? I just cant see whats good about him either

[QUOTE=Potato-Pugilist;36040523]Every single weaver I have been teamed with has not spoken english, runs away from every teamfight and farmed solo the entire time. What is it with weaver? I just cant see whats good about him either[/QUOTE] Infinite chase, incredible lategame DPS, only invis hero not countered by dust, track and amplify damage.

[QUOTE=Mech Bgum;36040914]weaver is pretty much useless if not farmed.[/QUOTE] oh, so youre saying weaver is a carry? cool

[QUOTE=The Mighty Boat;36040944]oh, so youre saying weaver is a carry? cool[/QUOTE] no he's explaining why the man had weavers like that you jackass

[QUOTE=Meatpuppet;36041028]no he's explaining why the man had weavers like that you jackass[/QUOTE] It's true with every carries not only weaver. Also why does every time you post here it's to yell on boat ? Go the fuck away.

[QUOTE=Maruhai;36041052]It's true with every carries not only weaver. Also why does every time you post here it's to yell on boat ? Go the fuck away.[/QUOTE] no, he was saying that that's why weaver was not doing anything. if he had said "weaver is a carry", that wouldn't have helped. and i was just defending the noobie because he was uninformed and boat treated him in a bad manner

yeah nah weaver was doing nothing because he was bad, not because hes a carry. if your team is losing t2s and getting raped in teamfights its time to stop farming

what the hell are you talking about i just said that boat handled the situation poorly and you get all pissed at me

How is Weaver not countered by track, amplify dmg, dust? Can he slip away under those things with Shukuchi or what?

[QUOTE=Bat-shit;36041678]How is Weaver not countered by track, amplify dmg, dust? Can he slip away under those things with Shukuchi or what?[/QUOTE] nah, he can remove most debuffs with his ultimate, including track, amp and dust. i guess the speed boost from shukuchi helps too if time lapse is on cd [editline]21st May 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=Mech Bgum;36041715]im saying he's like broodmother, you shouldnt really expect weaver to participate in ganks because he's good in a long race. some carries have some ganking abilities (doom, brewmaster, morphling) and weaver has to rely solely on the damage, so he's especially useless without items.[/QUOTE] yeah youre right, but if your team is getting completely shafted by the enemy team youre unlikely to finish that radiance in time before their team is at a massive advantage. youll be way better off just helping your team in that case

[QUOTE=Mech Bgum;36041828]you're right as well. as i see it he wasnt saying anything about losing teamfights though, he was curious why weaver is such a pussy obsessed with farming.[/QUOTE] yeah sorry if i came off as a dick or anything, wasnt my intention

[QUOTE=Bat-shit;36041678]How is Weaver not countered by track, amplify dmg, dust? Can he slip away under those things with Shukuchi or what?[/QUOTE] Ult removes debuffs and Shukuchi gives max speed, chain the two and true sight debuffs are worthless on you. [editline]21st May 2012[/editline] Also I just played with a Morphling. He got carried by our Veno.

^ yeah [QUOTE=The Mighty Boat;36041722]nah, he can remove most debuffs with his ultimate, including track, amp and dust. i guess the speed boost from shukuchi helps too if time lapse is on cd[/QUOTE] oh right, timelapse, yeah

Weaver can push hard if the other team has no stuns, he just has to shukuchi away every time.

So there's a tourney tonight, I wanna enter. Anybody interested in joining my team?

[QUOTE=HandsomeFrog;36043089]So there's a tourney tonight, I wanna enter. Anybody interested in joining my team?[/QUOTE] 18 hours. :v:

[QUOTE=HandsomeFrog;36043163]I don't get it. :V:[/QUOTE] No one who seriously plays dota is going to have someone with under 100 hours on their team. Sorry.

Guys, maybe he's been playing dota 1 since the beginning!
