[QUOTE=Asmaedus;37776271]I know that in Dota's community that having a whinge is punishable by death, but [i]fuck[/i] invisibility.

Most broken ass mechanic in the game.

"But just buy a gem!" - As soon as they find out you have it you are a bullet magnet til its dropped

"But just buy dust!" - Most of the heroes with invisibility are also fast, so they run out

"But just buy wards!" - Same deal with dust.

No other mechanic [i]requires[/i] you to buy a specific item thats relatively expensive and drops on death just to have a fighting chance at getting a hit off.

It's bullshit that, say, riki or templar assassin, can just become [i]completely unkillable[/i] by pressing W or simply not attacking for a second.

The only saving grace is that people who play riki and BH are almost always complete bollocks, and most people who play TA don't know how to play her.[/QUOTE]

What about silences and both Slardar and bounties ult?

[Chaplin]

how many abandons do you need in order to be placed in the low priority queue?

[QUOTE=leonthefox;37775488]Tried Beast master yesterday, and noticed that the hawk wasn't selected along the boar when I hit F2 (select all the summoned units) is it a bug or is supposed to be like that[/QUOTE]

Valve changed it at one point to be all combat units, which means it won't select anything that can't attack like Healing Ward or Hawk. I just put the hawk in its own control group.

[QUOTE=SxRustle;37772540]Its just my personall style, but i would recomend playing around with Spell steal instead of conserving it
Though most people recommend waiting forever for big ultimates
Why? Its no fun
If you see the enemy, keep stealing whatever they use and trow it back at them if possible
Of course, keep big spells for a good opportunity
Basicly, replicate everything against them, steal ALWAYS.
Maybe it wont be very usefull, but very fun[/QUOTE]
It's actually very useful.
Keeping your spell steal just for the big fights is a HUGE waste unless you have something worth the wait.

I think it should be use kind of like Invoker's skills. Fast spell deployment, followed by more spell selection, followed by spell deployment, ending up in using like 4 spells in one fight.

Or, in case of rubick, if you got something with a rather long cooldown and you need something fast, use everything you have, then steal more spells and use them aswell if needed.

Its ever so fun to steal Zeus lightning bolt and giving him a 700 dmg nuke.

Can one of our Brazilian fp bros explain to me why they don't play on the south american server? I just had 3 BRs on my team. Doom bringer went aghanims and refresher, Furion never bought boots and only had 2 levels in treants and never pushed and a morphling that had a 47min linken sphere...

[dass]

[QUOTE=Oicani Gonzales;37778207]i don't play in the sa server because i dont want to play with brazilians.
normal brazilians play on USEast because SA doesnt have high/vhigh brackets.

i wouldnt have a problem with brazilians playing on use if they spoke english instead of portuguese.

the noob brs that play on the other servers i have no idea tbh[/QUOTE]

Not even competent brazilian players want to play with other brazilians :v:

[Naofa]

[QUOTE=Badunkadunk;37777487]4[/QUOTE]

Is their a timelimit? because i have 3. and the last one was atleast two months ago.

[Amaurus]

Low priority from abandons is usually around 1 - 2 days.

[Necro'lic]

[QUOTE=Oicani Gonzales;37778468]cant say hearing a guy tell you to shove a car up your butt because you asked him to use his arcane boots is very fun[/QUOTE]

for some reason you think youre better then them

You have to right click them.

I heard that Tauren Chieftain will be a very stable pick when he is released, what exactly is his role and how much farm does he require/where is he ran?

[Chaplin]

It's amazing how much stuff people are left to find out on their own (if they don't look up a tutorial, or have never played a MOBA)

a friend who just got a key was playing anti mage, I spectated him and all he had was a health pot, I asked him why and he said "i'm saving up my money so I can buy a Satanic next match" also, he had 24 deaths
I gave him a few details, and amazingly, he only died 13 times on the next match he played.

That's insane. I don't know how to respond to that. He didn't even know what kind of game he was playing when he was playing it.

Even as a person that has never played a moba, it shouldn't be hard to not think that gold travels over between matches.

Garry actually thought that was how it worked, he said that he was concerned about being beat by players that had been "building up their hero for years".

I feel like a pro picker, I made the other team ragequit from my picks alone. Getting captain every damn time I queue is paying off.

What's the command to increase the size of the heroes on the minimap (size of the X)

[Banned?]

I just had a Phantom Lancer abandon because he kept bitching about Witch Doctor trying to out cs him. Left at the 6th min, counts as a loss.

I've never hated someone more right now. Complete waste of time and a loss.

[gardian90]

[QUOTE=Badunkadunk;37777487]4[/QUOTE]

That's not true at all. It's up to valve whether or not you are in low priority.

Proof: I have 4 abandons.

My god, this match left me speechless.

I carried. [B]As Lich[/B]. First of all, Clockwerk randomly goes mid at 1 minute, gets in tower range, dies and then leaves. Then Axe must have though I was starving because he started to feed me, First Blood included, to the point where I outdamaged Huskar with right-click alone. Meanwhile, Bounty Hunter literally ran around in circles and I'm pretty sure Drow Ranger died to Neutrals at least once.

I felt bad for Huskar, he was the only one on the enemy team who knew what he was doing.

If you get a certain amount of abandons within a certain timeframe then you get put into low priority. Valve controls only controls who gets into low priority from reports, everything else is automatic.
Proof: I have 28 abandons.
Also for future reference, I believe you can contact support if you believe you got low priority for an excessive amount of time (>24 hours) for no reason.

with that attitude one assumes you think yourself as better then most other brazilians. ive seen you play this isnt the case. only thing you have over them is that youre fluent in english
