I'll take it
It's pretty uncomfortable to play as Razor, what with all the little delays he has before casting his abilities. Even his auto-attacks don't feel right.
If you spam right-click while chasing, Q's animation should be canceled
And his autoattack was already like that in WC3 DotA, the lightning appears then a very short moment later the damage registers.
Why isn't Diffusal blade recommended on Razor on the items list or pretty much any guide? I just tried it and the slow was so useful for me since it's very hard to stick to anyone even with the increased movespeed from E and Phase Boots, since most carries have some sort of slow or escape.

Diffusal blade is "ok" on razor, but I prefer a heaven's halberd/ s&y on him for extra survivability. His lightning link has more synergy with disablers (shadow shaman,lion,furion's sprout,sven,etc) heavy slowers (shadow demon, warlock, venomancer, etc) than a diffusal blade
I found how awesome Diffusal blade is on Lone Druid.
Ofc shouldn't be a core item like Radiance, but it's epic on him, since you don't have any orb effect anyways (if you're getting lifesteal it should be Vlad.)
The purge is good to ensure a root-proc, and when they are, diffusal rapes their mana with his insane natural attackspeed.
Hey guys here's a crazy idea.
Diffusal on Windrunner.
Due to me being new and all, what's a good starting hero to try? I've messed around with Bounty Hunter and Sniper, but never had much success with them.

Sniper is a deceptively hard character, he's all about positioning and you have to be great at farming to do well with him.
I recommend Sven. A relatively easy hero that gives your team A LOT to work with and can fit into just about any lineup.

Won't work with her ulti, sadly.
[QUOTE=Fancy Parrot;37411413]cause its pretty easy to miss his abilities, which is why people say his orchid ability is the best since you cant miss it[/QUOTE]
same goes for Jakiro, there's other heroes with more reliable abilities
[QUOTE=Da_Maniac_;37414466]Won't work with her ulti, sadly.[/QUOTE]
Yes it does. Neither the manadrain nor the damage gets diminished.
international crate. yet again. the usual drill. you add me you get it.
gone.

I'm quite sure Jakiro is considered poor because, for one, his nuke at level 4 does 140 damage.
[QUOTE=Shibbey;37415055]I'm quite sure Jakiro is considered poor because, for one, his nuke at level 4 does 140 damage.[/QUOTE]
It's a chain ult, it does 180 damage per second at its highest level. It's meant to stack with other ults like black hole and ravage along with his ice path stun

Just tried Sven, was able to go an hour without dying, yet get 3 kills, so he's a real simple hero which I like.
Just played as Leshrac, hit 50cs at the 10:35 mark soloing mid.
"Whoah what the fuck"
Anyway I had a 20:35 bloodstone, mana boots and urn so we stomped them ofc.
Replay ID if you wanna see ~pro level leshrac~ is: 35776786
Why is there still no M5 banner :<
I hate it when someone on my team picks Skeleton king but plays passively the whole match.
If you play skeleton king, dive the shit out of people, you have a free respawn.

I get SKs that dive at level 1-5 and play passive at 6+.

ogre magi, lich, slardar, crystal maiden. Or if you'd like a long version...
i'd suggest starting with support heroes and learn to last hit by denying and when you're left to defend a lane. There's much less pressure on supports than on carries/gankers so they're quite good to play as a newcomer. Just constantly ward and buy a courier at the start. Practice with different supports to find the one you like. Avoid Wisp, Chen, and Enchantress since they are kinda hard to play. Wisp because you can fuck up your team and yourself with your teleportation.
If you want to jungle don't pick carries or pick side carries at the start if you don't trust yourself. For practicing jungle i suggest Axe. He's a lot of fun in general. Just find out where easiest and easy camps on both jungles are and you're set. You can even pull the creep wave that way helping both yourself and the laning people.
For Carrying go Skeleton King. He has only one active spell and it's a stun so that shouldn't be hard. Also Slardar is quite easy and fun. Spam your ulti on invisible heroes or on heroes in general.
Never go Alchemist
Play Ogre Magi if you're too poor to play at a real slot machine.
Oh. Right. If you wanna mid Zeus is easy. Night Stalker, too. I suck at the game but somehow i'm decent with him.
I felt like typing, sorry. You only asked for heroes to play not a damn guide. Also i'm not that good of a player but i read/talk/lurk here enuff to think i know what i'm talking about

If you're not so sure about being in the action all the time with Sven, try focusing more on support, grab an urn and ward a bit, a blink dagger can help if you need help chasing/escaping
Anybody know who's casting today's games?

Thanks.
Tobi looks like he's been on and off Heroin for the last 2 weeks.

Have you never watched the JD stream? He ALWAYS looks like he's been on and off Heroin for months. But that is why we love him.

Alchemist isn't that bad of a hero, but newcomer shouldn't pick him. You need to know how to farm very well in order to make the full use of him.
Everything this guy says is pretty accurate. Nightstalker isn't the easiest mid to play though. Lich or Zeus would probably be the best choice.
