Defense of the Ancients 2: General Chat XIX 6.77c Coming Soon - Games

I've been playing DOTA 2 for about a week off-and-on with bots against my friend. So far I feel confident with Broodmother, but are there any other champs I should try? I tried the Lich and he's fun, feels kind of cheap though. The few other champs I've tried are oddly hard. Crystal Maiden? I think it was her, she was damn near [i]IMPOSSIBLE[/i] to last hit as. The delay is ridiculous on when you auto-attack.

The delay is ridiculous on when you auto-attack.[/QUOTE] They're heroes, and Maiden generally doesn't end up with last hits anyway, so doesn't matter all that much. :v Also, try Tiny, Vengeful, Ogre Magi, and Luna. They're all pretty simple but can be played to a relatively high degree of skill (I guess Ogre besides? But he's fun as hell).

what are you talking about those multicasts are pure skill bro [editline]18th March 2013[/editline] he's also really fucking frustrating to play against GOD DAMNIT I think Valve is cheating, there is no way his multicast percent is that low.

[QUOTE=Sir Whoopsalot;39962145]CM's support and thus shouldn't focus on getting last hits.[/QUOTE] if your carry is missing last hits, why would you let free gold go to waste? also last hitting is an important skill because it carries over to denying too and denying is stupidly important if you're a support

In that regard Silversoda, there's only one solution. Practice practice practice.

[QUOTE=Silversoda;39962088]I tried the Lich and he's fun, feels kind of cheap though.[/quote] what do you mean by "cheap"

I take a crack at opening some crates, unlock 2 sets of ragestone axes and 2 tide wards... then with the final crate, the Batdana appears before my eyes! On that note I like batrider from the instant i started dota 2, and promptly went 0-16 as him my first game ever.

Literally the most hilarious thing just happened: Naix tried to gank me while I was jungling with NP, but lost pretty hard so jumped into one of my trees... A little confused, I marched him into the fountain while my whole team laughed at him. My ribs hurt.

[QUOTE=dual elites;39962505]what do you mean by "cheap"[/QUOTE] Probably just really easy

A friend said how BH is even more boring than Drow, I know it's his opinion, but come on, even his descrption of what BH does was twice as much of what drow actually does

[QUOTE=Chickens!;39963365]All carries are boring.[/QUOTE] Void is fun in a "BETTER NOT FUCK UP THE ENTIRE TEAMFIGHT YOU SHIT" kind of way

[QUOTE=Chickens!;39963365]All carries are boring.[/QUOTE] Gankers aren't boring. Bounty Hunter is a ganker. I fail to see your point.

[URL="http://dota2intel.com/"]So, it begins.[/URL]

[QUOTE=Chickens!;39963365]All carries are boring.[/QUOTE] I think carries are a lot of fun, not in the 360 noscope sunstrike multiskill invoker kinda way, but in the 'I love to fuck up everyone after the 20-30 minute mark and wipe entire teams' kinda thing 'hold up, I got this'

Meanwhile in dota 2 lounge [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/xIJGVSG.png[/IMG] People seem to have a lot of faith in TL

[QUOTE=Mr_Awesome;39963523][URL="http://dota2intel.com/"]So, it begins.[/URL][/QUOTE] what the hell this isn't even a cheat it's just for lazy people

[QUOTE=Kiq;39963596]what the hell this isn't even a cheat it's just for lazy people[/QUOTE] The skill and item overlays, as well as the Runes through Fog of War is a cheat.

[quote]Have fun supporting scrubs because you refused to swallow the bullet and accept that supporting shitty players does not learn you anything. [/quote] :suicide: I hate this fucking way of thinking "I will pick carry cuz It's a pub" "I don't attempt x ebcause is a pub" "I will ditch this attitude when i reach a higher bracket"

[QUOTE=lord0war;39963591]Meanwhile in dota 2 lounge [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/xIJGVSG.png[/IMG] People seem to have a lot of faith in TL[/QUOTE] There was a match like this once and I decided to bet on the team that was going to lose. (not quite as much of a landslide though) I have a lot more items now.

[QUOTE=Mr_Awesome;39963620]The skill and item overlays, as well as the Runes through Fog of War is a cheat.[/QUOTE] [img]http://puu.sh/2k9ZW[/img] [img]http://puu.sh/2ka0F[/img] Though, admittedly, looking back, the being able to see cooldowns/item cds is a cheat, yeah, and is a tad gamebreaking. But the rest of it is just for lazy people. Seriously? Being able to see the rune on the minimap if you have vision? JUST CLICK OVER THERE ARARGHG.

[QUOTE=Mr_Awesome;39963620]The skill and item overlays, as well as the Runes through Fog of War is a cheat.[/QUOTE] nope [IMG]http://img35.imageshack.us/img35/8146/20130318170406.png[/IMG] The skills/items thing is probably a cheat though unless it just tracks the last time it was seen and what level.

[QUOTE=Mr_Awesome;39963620]The skill and item overlays, as well as the Runes through Fog of War is a cheat.[/QUOTE] Not really. Keeps track of heroes abilities when they use them and their items when they're in your team vision. And runes only when you get vision ("See the location of runes which you have vision of on the minimap"). And ninja'd.

That implies that it actually does any of that, which I question

So if I count mentally 180 seconds after someone used its ult, it's ok, but if I use something that will do that for me is cheating?

All heroes are boring. Dota is not meant for fun. Fun is the mind killer.
