[QUOTE=Supersheepie;37716582]Just made a broodmother ragequit and calling me a tryhard , just because I bought sentry wards as windrunner. What.[/QUOTE] What a dumbass, I'd just buy sentry wards to counter the enemies sentry wards then a soul ring and spam Q on them because why not

[QUOTE=Prism;37714121]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] And this is why I only pick Anti mage or (any carry that requires babysitting) when I'm playing with a friend.

[QUOTE=Da_Maniac_;37715554]Armor reduction actually matters [i]more[/i] if your armor is close to zero.[/QUOTE] Dooming her stops all of her armor reduction.

[QUOTE=Roflman;37717383]Came back up. Got a key for my friend. Finally, someone to play matches with.[/QUOTE] Got my irl LoL friend a key, it's a stretch but I'm hoping he stays with dota.

[QUOTE=Regularjoe;37714906]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] meh, i prefer going mid, and if i get first blood wait out on the T1 for the TP to glimpse em back to base, people dont know they have to TP to T2 when against a Disruptor.

i fucking LOVE spectre sadly both times i played her...I'm forced to a point where I can't get any last hits :/ One ursa told me hes a much harder carry Another team told me to solo. I wouldn't have been mad about soloing, if it wasn't bounty+sven, which is pretty deadly early game. At least we won both games. In the second game axe had blade mail, which made me do even more damage to him and his team. Fun.

[QUOTE=Roflman;37717383]Came back up. Got a key for my friend. Finally, someone to play matches with.[/QUOTE] Supposedly the keys also come with 2 spare invites. Oh man I could just about form a team now.

[QUOTE=Roflman;37718097]Supposedly the keys also come with 2 spare invites. Oh man I could just about form a team now.[/QUOTE] Anyone can confirm this would be interesting to know

[QUOTE=Squirrel2531;37718331]Anyone can confirm this would be interesting to know[/QUOTE] Yeah I got 2 invites on top of my friend getting 2 invites (My friend got his own so I just used the key on my alt)

[QUOTE=titopei;37714475]I hate facing a ck with heart. He's just unkillable in a teamfight[/QUOTE] He actually goes down very easily with a couple of stuns.

Tried to teach someone about Dota 2 a couple months ago. They seemed into it. Then they went back to buying champions on LoL. Oh well, he wasn't good anyway.

Had my best tiny game ever, 10/3/12. Only deaths was when I threw myself away at the very end while trying to push. Got a really fast Scepter+AC. Such a fun character. [video=youtube;pURJDToKA0k]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pURJDToKA0k[/video]

This day was horrible, everything went wrong. I wanted to play a match to distract myself from it and a have a little fun. NOPE sudden 2000 ping from no where. I got forced to stay in base because it was absolutely unplayable. My second "abandon". The icing for this shitcake of a day. I'm an idiot for not expecting this. /RANTRANTRANTRANTRANT

Also my feet likes to touch power outlets and buttons. Fucks me over every time.

[QUOTE=dass;37718472]He actually goes down very easily with a couple of stuns.[/QUOTE] Not will all his illusions up. If you can catch him before he ults then yeah

Got semi-close to losing an easy game because one of my teammates was having connection issues and enemies kept unpausing At least it feels good to stomp crybabies

[QUOTE=OutOfExile2;37719183]Got semi-close to losing an easy game because one of my teammates was having connection issues and enemies kept unpausing At least it feels good to stomp crybabies[/QUOTE] Turn based dota

[QUOTE=titopei;37719275]Turn based dota[/QUOTE] Every move I advance towards Bounty Hunter in preparation for a stun Bounty Hunter uses Shadow Walk It's super effective

This last fucking game, my team won, but one of my teammates was a fucking jerk It's one of those guys who comes from W3 dota "Lol uninstall undying noob go play angry birds" "we should play again except undying ^^" "lol trolled hard" called GG several times I never thought I would be so fucking upset after winning a match and how the fuck people from new zeland don't lag on us east?

[url=http://www.playdota.com/forums/member.php?u=1]IceFrog said that 6.75 should be out by the end of the month.[/url] (scroll down a bit) Can't wait, especially if the rumored 4 heroes thing is true. Hopefully it won't take too long for the balance changes to be ported over.

Just read meepo's bio on the workshop's requirement page, it's kinda cool [url]http://www.dota2.com/workshop/requirements/meepo[/url]

[QUOTE=leonthefox;37720918]Just read meepo's bio on the workshop's requirement page, it's kinda cool[/QUOTE]Link would have been cool but thanks for informing. [img]http://puu.sh/16ymc[/img] If this image doesn't load: [quote]"[B]If you ask me, life is all about who you know and what you can find. When you live up in the Riftshadow Ruins, just finding food can be tough. So you need to cut corners, you need to scrounge, you need to know your strengths. Some of the beasts up there can kill you, so you need a way to trap the weak and duck the strong. On the upside, the ruins have history, and history is worth a lot to some people. There used to be a palace there, where they had all these dark rituals. Bad stuff. If you survived the ceremony, they would shatter a crystal and split your soul into pieces. They made great art though! Sculptures and such. Let me tell you: sometimes you stumble onto some of those old carvings. Take a pack full of those to town and sell them, then get yourself food for a few weeks. If luck is really on your side, you might find a Riftshadow crystal. Get it appraised and start asking around. Someone always knows some crazy fool looking for this kind of thing. If all else fails, sell it to a Magus the next time one's in town. They love that stuff. Still, whatever you do, be careful handling those crystals. You do not want one to go off on you. It really hurts.[/B]"[/quote]

[QUOTE=IAmAnooB;37721288]So wait.. You can download his model before he's released? Or am I totally retarded?[/QUOTE] The download link doesn't work. So no.

So what is everyone's guess on heroes/number of heroes for tomorrow? Looks like Meepo is sure-fire, imagine the whining on the dev forums if all the people who feel like valve entitle them to something don't get more than their one hero

Looks like Meepo is sure-fire, imagine the whining on the dev forums if all the people who feel like valve entitle them to something don't get more than their one hero[/QUOTE] I am personally more excited for Valve-awesomness. I mean the features they add to improve Dota 2 aspects in a way that people want it or general surprising good ideas overall. Like fresh Micromanagment UI for multi-unit heroes, hero picking layout, etc. I'd personally love to see something put into Socialize tab.
