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

Should i delete my stupid juggernaut mask? I think original jug mask is better and i maybe gain mythicals :V

If you don't intend on wearing the mask, I'd say go for it.

[QUOTE=Dogchow33;37530762]Get an early level of cloak, followed by grave chill and maxing soul assumption first for extreme early game power, make sure and get familiars at lvl 6 though. Always keep them ready to do something, out of the enemy's sight, like in the trees or something during laning phase. After mek, build shiva's guard. In teamfights, grave chill the carry, soul assumpt the squishies, and stone form in key spots as much as possible. Try not to get hammered too hard in the early game because of your low armor. For starting items, ring of regen, ring of protection, and tangoes work well. You could buy a clarity in the place of tangoes. Don't try to build agi items on Visage, his agi gain sucks. Attack speed however, is something of interest, like hyperstone. Usually I get hyperstone when building assault cuirass. Don't pick Visage against aoe heroes such as Kunkka or heroes with high DPS such as Huskarr. Your mana pool isn't so good early game, use caution when ganking, which is what Necro'lic is made for. Valve labeled him as support, not sure why. The great thing about Visage is not a lot of people play him, so when they see a skilled one, they have no clue how to deal with him.[/QUOTE] That game, I built a Mek and Drums (I like to build stuff like that to buff people around me, urn aswell but didn't do it this time) Treads, Wand, Basilius for early game mana, and was starting to make a cuirass, bought the Hyperstone first which helped quite a lot but didn't have time to end it, just needed the recipe but it ended first. I just auto-attacked with the Familiars and slowed/nuked with Visage with the occasional stone form to recharge them. Tried to stun people with them but I always missed. On the bright side, in 38 mins they only killed 3 familiars, and one of them wasn't by a hero I think. Soul Assumption is a GREAT nuke though. I'll try that next time, thanks!

Trying to get back into dota 2(was pretty good at dota, but that was a looong time ago) if anyone is up for some chill games count me in :v: Tired of polaks polaking.

New strategy... Hand of Midas + Goblins Greed (Maxed) Alchemist = Shitting a Golden Brick

[QUOTE=Rats808;37535154]Thursday.[/QUOTE] how many new heroes

Not to mention infinite mana for more Battlehungers.[/QUOTE] Dude I played Sven with a friend who was KotL. My friend would hide in the trees and charge up his Q. I maxed my Storm Hammer, stunned the enemy and my friend fired off his Q. All that crazy early-game burst holy dongs

[QUOTE=tigergoesmeow;37535558]how many new heroes[/QUOTE] 5 [sp]it is meepo[/sp]

[QUOTE=Eonart;37534940]Techies[/QUOTE] Techies + KOTL. MINES. EVERYWHERE.

[QUOTE=Neobdragon;37536176]Gem plz.[/QUOTE] They still wont be able to farm. And gem in the first 10 min is expensive as fuck.

[QUOTE=Neobdragon;37536176]Gem plz.[/QUOTE] Reminds me of a game where i randomed Techies and a dude said "LOL, i counter this retard" he bought a gem and decided to de-mine the ramps... with a melee hero.

I played shadow demon yesterday, and i was sent to a solo sidelane, agaisnt another solo, put a point on disruption and maxed poison but after the game ended i was told to put points on disruption and soul catcher, anyways, is it ok to level poison when you are on a solo lane?

[/QUOTE] imo, shadow poison is pretty useless when compared to disruption and soul catcher. just put one point in shadow poison for the vision

Disruption and Soul Catcher is useful when you're playing in a dual lane, but in a solo you can harass a lot with Shadow Poison so I'd say you should max Soul Catcher and Shadow Poison instead of Disruption in that case.

(Stack the large camp like 6 or 7 times and kill the small camp while you wait for the next minute, then eventually kill the large camp with shadow poison.) It's usually not a good idea to max poison early, since you're more likely to end up pushing the lane with it than you are to do damage to the enemy.

Jungle Shadow Demon. That's new for me.

actually solo v solo you want to max shadow poison (imo) it pushes people out of the lane, or it fucks up their last hitting. It's a cheap spell to land and gives you vision of the person you need to deny gold/xp. It is at minimum something to knock off salve/clarity and at most a ~600 (at lvl4 iirc, 4*65 initial + 8*50 deffered) nuke that costs 200 mana and is pretty easy to land. The soul catcher/disruption combo is for when you are laning with a partner and they are getting farm. SD does not output enough damage for soul catching to be worth it, but when you have a stun or slow or something it is a VERY strong spell combo which isn't wasted later game because disruption/soul catcher is ALWAYS relevant.

Theres nearly no good guides for jungling, and i want to learn for some heroes such as Enigma, Ursa, NP etc. Any links you can lend?

[QUOTE=Lefter;37537195]Theres nearly no good guides for jungling, and i want to learn for some heroes such as Enigma, Ursa, NP etc. Any links you can lend?[/QUOTE] I suggest to download a replay from the international with the hero you want to learn and then watch what the guy did via "Player Perspective".

So it's a promo for the $250 Axe maquette. Good fucking lord it's gonna be worth a lot.

finally 100 wins! (92 defeats) also, do we use this thread for general chat or the old?
