[QUOTE=ChickenMan99;37615615]Questioning the survey sign-up again: How long does it take to receive an invite? And do your answers determine whether or not you actually get it? 'Cause it must have been three weeks since I sent in my survey.[/QUOTE] The survey doesn't guarantee you an invite. I think. I didn't get an invite months after I sent in my survey. Ended up getting a key from my friend.

[QUOTE=SxRustle;37615781]Took me exactly 2 months of w8ting. Also i wrote such awfull thing in it, that my friend said i would never get invite :)[/QUOTE] Yeah my survey was also completely awful. No idea how I got the invite.

I got mine from my friend who still hasn't played a single game that wasn't a private lobby with me.

nothing feels better than getting matched up against the shitlord who did nothing but criticise you last game and kicking his ass to the curb

So if you play Alchemist as a babysitter/ganker... ...He is actually decent. But not more.

Does illusions from Dark seer wall get the desolator armor reduction effect? [QUOTE=Suttles;37613028]It also increases the chance of getting an item iirc I hope you don't get matched with traders[/QUOTE] I know you get more BP if the game last longers, but not sure about the items, and if this is true I hope it doesn't spreads

Chance is same even if its a 11 min game or a 120 min game. A 120 min game gives you like 150 battle points though.

[QUOTE=Rarara;37617031]Items are random. Chance is same even if its a 11 min game or a 120 min game. A 120 min game gives you like 150 battle points though.[/QUOTE] I see I got mythical/rare items on 40 min games, and nothing after a 70-80 min game

Does anyone know when they will start updating regularly again?

Maybe this week. It's fairly unknown because of Valve's methods.

[QUOTE=Banned?;37611710]Not as many games today but it sure was better than yesterday. [img]http://i.imgur.com/GL04K.png[/img] [B]E:[/B] My games are long as shit for some reason. I think the average game for me for three days now is 50 min. :v:[/QUOTE] Whenever I play pudge my games end up being up to the hours.

Just posted this in the emporium: [QUOTE=murphy7;37617731][URL="http://dota2.com/workshop/requirements"]New Heroes on the Workshop Requirements Page![/URL] Not sure since when, but it seems like the dota dev team is active again. Update soon![/QUOTE] Guess the dota dev team is active again.

I only see doombringer and... rylai in there that didn't have guidelines before meanwhile witch doctor and qop still don't have guidelines, ugh edit: oh and necro is new too

[QUOTE=Dr.Scrake;37617841]I only see doombringer and... rylai in there that didn't have guidelines before meanwhile witch doctor and qop still don't have guidelines, ugh[/QUOTE] Necrolyte aswell. Im 100% sure they added a new hero because I try to remember the last line. Some days ago Windrunner and Ursa were the two at the bottom.

[QUOTE=prodirus;37615692]The survey doesn't guarantee you an invite. I think. I didn't get an invite months after I sent in my survey. Ended up getting a key from my friend.[/QUOTE] I got mine like three days after, but I signed up like a year ago. [editline]10th September 2012[/editline] Doombringer is now in the Workshop? Fuck yes. Time to get to work.

[QUOTE=Antary;37616837]So if you play Alchemist as a babysitter/ganker... ...He is actually decent. But not more.[/QUOTE] He's a decent hero, but gank him twice and his game is pretty much over.

Even if he uses BKB, he can't break the snare. If you're complaining about his push power or w/e then just pick Tinker and use march when there's a huge creep wave headed for the tower for tons of gold. Although, in that game it looks like he was just allowed to farm way more than he should have been.

I could be wrong though. There was a video posted in this thread once where you counter Lycan by picking bounty hunter and just go invis and steal his jungle last hits + wolves, repeat. here it is [video=youtube;nAzmV9PFZLs]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nAzmV9PFZLs[/video]

in a few days we will finally have meepo's shovels in our hands get pumped boys!

Rated agree even though I probably won't play Meepo ever because fuck 4 heroes at once.

Do you think very high matchmaking is global? Like is someone that is someone from very high in europe equal to someone in the US in very high?

[url]https://dotabuff.com/matches/39734095[/url] Our top lane did horrible and pudge left We won, due to me getting ultimate and one point in my invisibility. After that we just started winning. Pudges only kills were me playing him those 2 times when dead :V

Just had a game in Low Priority as Shadow Shaman Our Riki was shit, level 9 at 25 mins. Our Gyro quit at 40 mins. We won at 57 minutes with Huskar poudning our nexus at about 15% HP, it was a straight up baserace. I turned Huskar into a chicken and NaturesProphet got the last few hits needed to Win. CLUTCH CHICKEN

I love when I pick a hero, and the enemy team goes stuff I counter >Pick slardar >Enemy team goes riki, TA, clinkz >Pick treant >Enemy team goes QOP & Antimage

[QUOTE=Suttles;37619687]I love when I pick a hero, and the enemy team goes stuff I counter >Pick slardar >Enemy team goes riki, TA, clinkz >Pick treant >Enemy team goes QOP & Antimage[/QUOTE] Once, the people on my team picked Death Prophet, Riki and Drow. Enemy team picks Anti-Mage. The game was not fun for him.
