Dota 2 General Chat - I, for one, welcome our new Chinese overlords - Games

[QUOTE=Amaurus;37744347]All are affected.[/QUOTE] Imagine a team with meepo and these passives. Lycan's howl + Beastmaster's attack speed aura + Vengeful's damaga aura + SK's lifesteal aura. :v:

[QUOTE=Amaurus;37744347]All are affected.[/QUOTE] Alright, I got confused because of the test client patch notes

[QUOTE=Banhfunbags;37744305]I feel like I only win games when the other team is bad.[/QUOTE] Agreed. It seems rare to look back over the scoreboard and not see someone who has like 10 deaths in a 45 minute game..

[QUOTE=Unisath;37741934]I just wish Valve would add F1-F5 as Hero Selectors, like in WCIII. It was extremely useful. F1 works, but F2 is courier. Lone Druid and Meepo would be fantastic with that. [b]Also, in WCIII, when someone pinged, spacebar would send you to the ping. It's probably not as useful in Dota, but it'd be nice as an option.[/b][/QUOTE] that was never removed, you can still hit space to go to the ping

I was playing with a pudge and he said "pls wait me i will rejoin" we waited like 15 min then i checked his steam profile and he was playing cs source i told to people in game and we unpaused 20 minutes have passed pudge reconnected and said "wtf noobs why did you unpause" "everyone reported"

Lycan's howl + Beastmaster's attack speed aura + Vengeful's damaga aura + SK's lifesteal aura. :v:[/QUOTE] treant and meepo would be nice gives all meepos a nice hp regen and nice armor bonus. Btw, having a mouse with buttons on the side is amazing for micro managing. Wouldn't be as good for meepo tbh, but for lone druid, nature's prophet, lycan, ect....you can just tap a button and tell them to do whatever, and switch back to your hero Amazing for pushing, I like to make trees, mouse 4 and click a+mouse 1 on which tower I want them to push. They push the lane up until they expire/are killed.

Can anyone replicate the results of [URL="http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:OiP1k8Bo7UMJ:dev.dota2.com/showthread.php%3Ft%3D52627+&cd=1&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us&client=firefox-a"]this[/URL]? Basically lvl 1 ancient jungling as melee heroes with the use of Quelling Blade and a Courier. I can't get it to work right, the ancients always bring my hp to very low amounts, and they try to reach me from routes that they're not supposed to go to. I already know how to efficiently jungle ancients with Tinker, but I wanna try it with other heroes too. If you manage to do it, please give a replay, I'd really wanna see how it is done.

I explain the things in the match at around 10 min mark, mouse-pointing included. (So toggle player-view on) Match ID pending, will update this. [B]Match ID:[/B] 42415802

Soloqueue Captains Mode This should be either amazing or terrible. [editline]21st September 2012[/editline] Visage and Batrider are MUST BANS [editline]21st September 2012[/editline] First pick Alchemist for maximum effectiveness.

Speaking of batrider, anyone here stolen firefly from him as rubick? :v:

[QUOTE=Captain Chalky;37747230]Speaking of Batrider, anyone here [B]seen[/B] a batrider?[/QUOTE] Yesterday in CLG vs Mouz. Also, I want my patch.

[QUOTE=Captain Chalky;37747230]Speaking of Batrider, anyone here [B]seen[/B] a batrider?[/QUOTE] Actually saw one just yesterday. We also lost.

[QUOTE=Captain Chalky;37747230]Speaking of Batrider, anyone here [B]seen[/B] a batrider?[/QUOTE] I've seen 2 batriders. Both of their teams lost.

I saw a batrider not long ago. He was terrible. That's how I won solo suicide lane as Axe.

I've randomed into Batrider, which was fun seeing as I'm bad enough that the players I am matched with don't understand what stick napalm does at all.

I randomed Batrider once and got a lucky ultra kill. I've seen maybe once or twice a batrider on the enemy team but other than that, no. Among the rarest sights I see.

[QUOTE=Allstone;37747565]I've randomed into Batrider, which was fun seeing as I'm bad enough that the players I am matched with don't understand what stick napalm does at all.[/QUOTE] It's hilarious how slow they go when you have many stacks of napalm on some dumbshit support Then you set him ablaze and drag him through 4 seconds of pure firey hell And flamebreak is such a troll spell too, use it to escape and use it to prevent escape. Also no channeling is going to happen when you're around

batrider is a very situational hero but he actually has some really good matchups, and you never realise how fucking painful the turn speed debuff is until you've tried to run away from a pudge hook and spent three seconds slowly rotating on the spot

Batrider requires balls and positioning to play well. He has average surivability, str gain is above average, but he still needs more defensive items than anything. Urn and Blink should be considered core items every game (unless some dipshit builds urn because it's in their recommended item list.)

They should really do something about punishing players for being asshats/leavers. Low priority is literally the same thing as an average game in low bracket.

had an amazing game, single draft weaver. he's super fun. [sp]also, is it wrong that I consider a good hero a fun hero?[/sp]

[QUOTE=bunnyspy1;37748633]had an amazing game, single draft weaver. he's super fun. [sp]also, is it wrong that I consider a good hero a fun hero?[/sp][/QUOTE] what? no? weaver isnt even naga level good to begin with. edit: i meant no as in its not wrong to have fun with heroes

I love going against Lanaya with batrider. 90% of the time they'll try to meld to avoid a teamfight, then I just pop a Molotov over the area and we gang up on her. Last game, I used lasso to drag a Tinker into our towers and got him killed.

What kind of Lanaya levels everything up before refraction? "I'm in this trouble for not leveling my q" Really? I had no idea. The fact that we are losing and you and sniper can't do anything but give them another kill isn't enough to see we are in trouble.

Last game, I used lasso to drag a Tinker into our towers and got him killed.[/QUOTE] I went mid vs a TA mid. As batrider, here is how things unfolded, sadly we lost anyway but; I went mid, against TA expecting the worse. So I leveled my E first, then went 2Q. So I started spitting at her, and spitting, and spitting. I just dove her, I went in, she was at midlane, in between the hills, and she melded. I was like, you can't be serious, this person is this stupid? I kept tossing my Q, got maybe 5 stacks, and E'd. Went over them, laced their shit, kept throwing my Q down, eventually she hit back, but by then she had been dead anyway. I kept doing that, and kept on doing it. I was 4/0 as mid within the first 8 minutes. I had 3 bracers under 10 minutes with boots and slowly building vanguard. They had DK come to mid, not a wise choice. I just tore his shit up too. Got up to 6/0 under 15 mins. My sidelanes.. Started to feed. I tried ganking but they had wards, and the lanes were so far pushed up. They blamed me for the loss, and I was 10/7 by the end of the game, while our carries were 2/8, 1/7 or the likes. :(

Enemy randoms Clinkz I'm looking at Gondar to counter the shit out of Clinkz I choose to Random instead >>GONDAR and then I won

I keep randomind Lich and Shadow Fiend over and over again. Lich is a really cool support hero and I don't really complain of him, but Shadow Fiend is so goddamn boring. I see all the Shadow Fiends on the enemy team rack up those mad 360ShadowRaze kills and blink in and ultra kills with his ult, but I feel completely soulless while playing him. Kinda like Drow, but not quite as boring.
