[QUOTE=ghosevil;37709826]I was able to witness a game with doombringer vs TA... There were many variables, of course, but the match could be summed up with a snapshot: [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/8wQiI.jpg[/IMG][/QUOTE] huskar boogying down?

Pudge is pretty good against TA. At least after the first couple minutes. If he's laning against her he'll probably lose the lane but once he hits 7 he can kill her pretty easily. Rot destroys her refraction shield, hook stops meld unlike most stuns (stuns keep her still so she doesn't come out of invis while hook will rip her right out.), and dismember helps him keep her still. She can still be a threat to him but if the pudge is good enough he can kill her pretty easy.

Two weird questions... Has anyone ever had an item that just will not equip? My Morphling shoulders (Shoulders of the Comet's Tail) will not equip anymore for some reason. They're in my backpack but they just won't show up in the shoulder slot or on the model. Had anyone ever had stats on a hero you've never played/played less than five times before? I've played Leshrac maybe three times at most but [url=http://i.imgur.com/hXoOq.png]my stats page says I'm 15-19[/url] with him, [I]and[/I] he was in my top three most successful heroes until Lina bumped him out as of my last game.

First question: Confirmed bug from update. Some items are not showing up on morphling and can't be equipped. Second Question: No clue. I think I've heard of bugs like this on the dev forums but I'm not sure.

I really hate shortsighted dumbasses. Sand King is giving our team shit because we have four "top picks": Tidehunter, Invoker (who was worthless), Morphling and...Pudge. He thinks Pudge is a top pick. I'm Lina. His team? Mother fucking Naga Siren, Dark Seer, Engima, Sand King and Tinker. You know...[B][U][I]The Ultimate Combo™![/I][/U][/B] Entirely composed of four, top tier teamfighting Gods and one midtier who still syncs up perfectly with them. But noooooooooo! Out team is OP as hell because we have Tide, Morphling and Invoker and WE'RE the tryhards.

Second question - yes, i had this thing with 2 or 3 heroes, like playing riki 2 times only and having 3 wins and 9 losses with him :( It is annoying, not only we dont know how most succesfull heroes are selected, but statistics are inaccurate. Valve needs to work on it

[QUOTE=Banned?;37710744]I really hate shortsighted [/QUOTE] I hate the top tier mentality in dota, captains mode is just the same 10 heroes every time and if you don't pick them the team ragequits during the picking phase.

Too much fear of getting a retarded captain for one and if I wanted to play against top tier heroes all the time...well, I do play AP all the time anyway. I like RD and SD sometimes, but only with friends.

Yea, enemy team was Drow, Enigma, ES, CM and Veno I don't really need to say which team raped us earlygame and won every teamfight.

[QUOTE=dual elites;37712553]unlike your posts[/QUOTE] You're the one trying to start shitstorm here for once, stop.

naw mate i just wanted to drop a sicknasty burn on you [editline]18th September 2012[/editline] your posts really are shitty though. like wow.

I swear to god, this game kills me inside sometimes. Random Anti-Mage in All Pick, rest of our team consists of Razor, Lifestealer, Ogre Magi, Treant Protector. Okay, definitely not the worst comp I could think of. I call the safe lane with Razor going mid, suddenly Ogre and Treant are both heading bot. I politely ask one of them to please come top with me, as a Lifestealer AM lane won't be ideal.... Seven times, until Treant finally moves to me. Then he proceeds to take every last hit he can get his hands on, after two minutes of him stealing several last hits, I type out in chat, asking him to please stop, as I need the farm more. He stops... Then resumes stealing last hits a couple of minutes later. Mid lane feeds, bottom lane feeds, me and Treant are getting pressured top but not dying. My farm is not exactly great due to a roaming Rubick putting pressure on us and Treant stealing last hits, even though I continously told him to "Please stop". I finish Battlefury, Treads and wand by 22 minutes, very late but now I can at least farm effectively and hopefully turn this game around. Mid and bot are still getting rocked and suddenly I have our Lifestealer furiously pinging me in the Dire Jungle, after he died in the bottom lane "Wtf AM? u go bf? 836 hp lol" I don't respond, I keep telling myself that if they could just buy me enough time to get a Vanguard and a Manta and if we could get a decent teamfight or two, I could turn this around. The Lifestealer then dies a bit later in the enemy jungle, once again he starts pinging me furiously. "wtf AM u have shit farm and no str threads? shit hp lmao gg am is a crub" The game ended at 37 minutes. I think I felt parts of my sanity drip out of my nose.

People during those games used them to boost their hp instead of boosting their offensive power (if they weren't str heroes) and usually in pub games, not many use them as more of a side stat boosting item other than offensive power booster. You were doing it right. You might had not had that much HP, but am is supposed to farm as fast as he can to have presence later in game. Or, in other words, Bfury as soon as you can.

[QUOTE=Maruhai;37713035]Trying to stop with the flame, but it's hard, I'm used to it.[/QUOTE] It's really simple You think about what you just wrote in the reply box, and what sort of effect and consequence it may have to the person you are speaking to. Failing to do so will have a 70% chance of a bigass marker reading "idiot" coming down upon your post for all to feast upon and then you can start digging your grave with your own post Flaming is alright when the reasons are just and the moment is right. Flaming all the time is dumb. Which is why the dumb rating exists and why people rate such posts, dumb. on-topic, Does anyone else feel like the slardar / veno combo is a tad too powerful? The slow is bad enough, but then you have that racecar hero with -armor bearing down upon you while you're poisoned and you can kiss thine ass goodbyeth

speaking of randoming AM i random AM i beg last guy to pick support to come on my lane he picks pudge and starts flaming me in all chat "fuken am picker noob" he steals my last hits with rot so that he almost kills himself he spams me the whole game calling me names and then finishing with "am picker" during this time i do not respond to him,decide its finally time "dude i randomed AM, I didnt pick him" he never spoke again that game

[QUOTE=aliendrone123;37709383]The power of CK. That's one of the reasons I love playing him.[/QUOTE] I hate facing a ck with heart. He's just unkillable in a teamfight

[QUOTE=Maruhai;37713035]Trying to stop with the flame, but it's hard, I'm used to it.[/QUOTE] How not to put out a fire: Gasoline.

Really fun thing to do: Play disruptor. Whenever you glimpse someone, ask if they are lagging. See how long it takes for them to realize what's going on.

[QUOTE=ReLak;37708380]Doom as a somewhat bad counter to TA because it's unreliable If doom gets the jump on TA, it's gg for TA because of what you mentioned if TA gets the jump on doom suddenly he's going nowhere and has no armor, something doom already lacks, and you can only doom one target at a time as beardyduck mentioned, batrider actually is a good counter to TA, and probably the best because unlike DS he doesn't have to be in meld range to kill her. (Though that's arguable, DS has better armor than bat does) [editline]18th September 2012[/editline] if you guys had to remove one hero from dota, rework one hero, buff one hero and nerf one hero who they be[/QUOTE] The thing about Doom is that you're supposed to build him so that armor doesn't matter, because he has an armor debuff already, which makes TA useless. That, his DOT flame, and ultimate shut her down on sight. I've yet to be ganked by TA as Doom when she's not already fed to death.

Leveled up my Jugg sword (Omnislashes) and mask (kills) in one game. :v: Fun times as Jugg with Agh's. [B]E:[/B] Also, someone should really fix the Strange page over at the Dota 2 wiki: [url]http://www.dota2wiki.com/wiki/Strange[/url] Looks sad.
