Excellent first post, welcome.

[QUOTE=usaokay;37588824]the Shitty Wizard t-shirt is sold out though[/QUOTE]
FFFFFFFFFFFFFUCK
BETTER ORDER THE REST TODAY WHILE THERE STILL ARE SOME

[Maruhai]

[QUOTE=usaokay;37588878]The shirt is still going at Jinx
[url]http://www.jinx.com/p/dota_2_wizard_and_donkey_premium_tee.html?catid=&s=Valve[/url]

but the shipping is pretty hefty. Cheapest shipping cost is $7.49[/QUOTE]
I don't want to pay shipping cost twice, and Jinx doesn't have the Dota 2 mouse bundle.

I'll just skip on that shirt, oh well.

the Shitty Wizard t-shirt is sold out though[/QUOTE]

Cool, I was wondering why they weren't selling the Blink Dagger keychain, wonder if I should get that or the DOTA 2 logo keychain..

I still don't know what the hell is "the shitty wizard".

[stealth_camo]

oh god why haven't i played undying before

easiest harass in lane and turns into a teamfight monster mid game. tombstone has to be one of my favourite spells now.

[Badunkadunk]

What other heroes did Realm do concepts for? I loved that one version of Skywrath in the concept art.

[pvt.meh]

i'm pretty sure he was just proving your point about it showing who's working on what hero...

One of his weakness is that he's not as tanky as he looks, a well coordinated enemy team will shut you down or at leats force you to buy some more tank items.

[Chickens!]

Isn't the point of Undying to be tank?

Steal strength in the build-up for a team fight, stand in the middle to amplify damage on everyone.

It's his point, I was just saying that he isn't the best at it and will require more farm against coordinated teams, which is something you don't always have in a pub (both farm as Undying and coordinated teams).

And early game spam steal strength to kill people

Made an anti-mage ragequit solely because you don't have a reaction time with both of his dmg nukes being near insta-cast

When I play Dirge hes more tanky than he looks.

What am I doing wrong?

[Rarara]

[QUOTE=Captain Chalky;37589602]Spamming decay is one the most retarded tactics, in my opinion. You're better off saving your mana to ruin ganks/initiate with your tombstone and to be able to keep you and your lane partner at full health.[/QUOTE]

Spamming decay gives me a fuckton of HP, and is a very good harass, that I can reliably use many times without running out of mana.

Why would I not do it?

FYI I abuse the bonus HP like hell to get early game kills.

Most likely the heroes with 2 people are closer to release.

ENIGMA BLINKS IN, MIDNIGHT PULSE, BLAAAAACK HOOOOLEEEE, EVERYONE DIES, REST OF THE TEAM ARRIVES LATER, FINISHES THEM OFF, ROSHAN IS DEAD, AEGIS GETS STOLEN!

I've once done that and killed their entire team off on my own without any help.

But granted, they were weak and I had a refresher orb on me.

[Amaurus]

[QUOTE=Captain Chalky;37589253]That's just the same list from a different angle. It's still possible it has nothing to do with their release order, especially since Medusa has nobody assigned to model her while Centaur has. And Centaur is lower on the list.[/QUOTE]

The quality in general is much better AND we can see what each column signifies.

[QUOTE=ForgottenKane;37589769]I've once done that and killed their entire team off on my own without any help.

When I did that roshan surprise attack, the health bars inside the black hole pulse combo just melted away. I think I did a double kill just there on my own, and when the rest of the people arrived, they killed the rest.

On the matter of that hero in development list, expect the heroes with more people assigned to them to be released faster in comparison to others.
But I'd say the order of release will somewhat be similar to that.

[QUOTE=dass;37589157]I still don't know what the hell is "the shitty wizard".[/QUOTE]

The Shitty Wizard was a placeholder model made to represent either the towers or ranged creeps(can't remember which). Once the model was leaked, it became a bit of a inside joke to everyone. The Shitty Wizard has since appeared in a lot of places, such as one of the decorative shields in the Dire fountain shop, the DOTA2 Comic [url]http://www.dota2.com/comics/are_we_heroes_yet/14/[/url] (panel 5) and as a courier, featuring the shitty wizard riding a donkey.

All heroes have a line referring to the Shitty Wizard as well. No-one really knows what it's for.

[dual elites]

Shitty Wizard is finol's nickname in the valve handbook

[Belivo]

He is also responsible of every bug in Dota2.

[tyler3497]

I always leave decay at level 1 while laning, and get my tombstone leveled up. The tombstone is really powerful early on.

[Belivo]

[QUOTE=tyler3497;37590373]I always leave decay at level 1 while laning, and get my tombstone leveled up. The tombstone is really powerful early on.[/QUOTE]

I get 1 in decay 1st level, then leave it there, followed up by 2 ranks in soulrip (you won't be getting 10+ units near you during lane) then max tombstone. (ult whenever possible ofc.)

Unlike M5, they're still playing as a team, they just lost their sponsorship.
