[QUOTE=Badunkadunk;37846841]That feeling when you absolutely rape every lane, take down all towers by 20 minutes but they turtle so damn hard that you can't take a rax and they eventually get farmed as fuck and rape you.[/QUOTE] That's what happen to the other team :v:.

[QUOTE=Suttles;37846623]Dear god[/QUOTE] You were like NICE BOAT even tho you were saying it 2 teamfights too late. The best part was when you were saying "THEY'RE PROBABLY ROSHING" when our Spectre had the aegis.

people need to respect leech seed spam in lane, and that treant is too tanky to try and kill. and why do teammates run away from the trees when i guise them?

why is Tobi playing minecraft on the JoinDota stream?

How much does Diffusal Blade slow? It doesn't seem to say.

[QUOTE=Prism;37847752]why is Tobi playing minecraft on the JoinDota stream?[/QUOTE] Because Starladder ended for today and no one wants to watch Tobi play dota

[QUOTE=EXoDUSFLT;37847785]How much does Diffusal Blade slow? It doesn't seem to say.[/QUOTE] [url]http://www.dota2wiki.com/wiki/Purge[/url] Starts as a 100 MS slow, but recovers 20% speed every tick.

[QUOTE=dual elites;37844663]holy shit broodmother is pretty much the ultimate hero for when you're tired of playing pubs you don't need to give a shit about what the other four idiots on your team are doing, as long as you can get solo short lane you basically just spend the entire game pushing while the other side either A) abandons the lane and loses towers or B) devotes tons of resources into constantly ganking you (then loses towers anyway) (or c) picks earthshaker :()[/QUOTE] i hate early game brood when people buy many sentry wards i remember one game i decided to deward and no joke there were 4 fucking enemy sentry wards found with one of mine.

[QUOTE=Gilgadood;37847562]people need to respect leech seed spam in lane, and that treant is too tanky to try and kill. and why do teammates run away from the trees when i guise them?[/QUOTE] Idiots that don't learn every hero and all their skills pretty much. I have teammates that just stand there like morons and die when I repel them when BS ults them and I'm screaming at them to run and that they're safe but they're like "im ulted retard".

Speaking about treant, I picked him on SD today and ended up on the suicide lane agaist morph and nyx, I got first blooded and the game was being streamed :v: but after that everything went better, people really understimate leech seed

Veno Treant is scary as shit yo.

Heck, Veno is scary. 50% slow and DoT for 1 point, if he goes for passive his harassment is unmatched, wards are multitool and ultimate is grealy underappreciated hurt-mass. It saddens me how many people play him only as full support suicidal warder. Honestly, try maxing gale/sting with 1 ward for vision purposes. If your enemies don't have enourmous amount of hp regen they'll be constantly at sunstrike-kill hp level.

I did it once and felt it was alright to do suicide swapsies, but how well would cheeky things like swapping an ally initiator into the enemy team while invis?

I had a treant that built dagon 5 and just sat in their jungle and zapped them constantly while invisible, it was hilarious but we lost in the end since he had boots and a dagon 5 against a team with full farm and he was just holding us back during teamfights when the game went into 90 minutes.

If enemies have any sort of detection or sense of detection (i.e. if someone notices they are visible, but they know there is no ward nearby, or they just notice that something blocked their path for a moment, etc) invisible initiations might not work. However, this reduces the need for blink dagger, and gives constant vision over enemies before initiation, so it's risky, but can end well if done well.

I prefer Force Staff over Shadow Blade for people like VS, Veno, etc. Not sure why no one gets Force Staff on Veno, my favorite item for him.

Vanguard + Shadowblade is nice on Venomancer. Manaboots too. And why not Force Staff either.

I had a treant protector who threw the game by farming a rapier and giving it to spirit breaker. We only got it back at the cost of all 3 barracks.

Force Staff works fine for much less, the idea is normally getting OUT of the enemy team after swapping one of them into yours rather than getting IN to swap in your initiator.

most of the time, if not always, mek is always better than vanguard on ranged heroes

After playing a game of Captain's Mode with a 5 man team, I can safely say all pick sucks

I random'd Clockwerk, and despite not having played with him before I raped major ass with him. He also has some damn good lines.

[QUOTE=soderholm13;37849999]After playing a game of Captain's Mode with a 5 man team, I can safely say all pick sucks[/QUOTE] All pick is pretty much guaranteed pudge, bounty hunter, profit, or lycan/ursa every game. Captains mode is the same 10 heroes unless your captain has a brain and can think up viable teams and counters (IE never). RD and SD are the only modes I appreciate since we get matches with 10 carries or all supports or some really underpicked heroes played and it's generally more fun for me- people even will turn down picking the 'top tier' heroes just for the sake of having a fresh match.

It's all fun in games, until the enemy tidehunter, dark seer, and fed antimage catch your team out of position
