Dota 2 General Chat XXII - Heros aren't the only things being remade... - Games

[QUOTE=Lefter;40168303]Bristleback, is the gayest hero ever in the fucking game. underpowered as shit.[/QUOTE] BB is super powerful and was once the most OP bullshit ever (But they made some changes so now hes just super powerful) [editline]5th April 2013[/editline] [QUOTE=Lefter;40168323]I've been playing dota for awhile and i never won a game with bristleback. And i'm pretty sure i'm doing it right.[/QUOTE] You are probably doing it wrong if you think hes underpowered and useless.

Visage is p fucking ridiculous. Grace Chill is so amazing at getting a early first blood holy shit, and his nuke is so crazy with his familiars.

[QUOTE=LtKyle2;40168544]Visage is p fucking ridiculous. Grace Chill is so amazing at getting a early first blood holy shit, and his nuke is so crazy with his familiars.[/QUOTE] I know I for one am happy I never see him. He's so insanely powerful right off the bat and if he gets an early Medallion gg, he can kill whoever the fuck he wants now except people with blink and Doom because Doom is a tanky asshole who moves at lightspeed.

[QUOTE=Quinnjdq;40166545]How much entertainment a hero give is all opinion based, I love farm based slow activating hard carries.[/QUOTE] There's only two of those, though. Medusa and Spectre. The rest of them really aren't 'slow' activations.

you know a hero's good when even Frog gets kills with them that aren't just blatant killsteals.

[QUOTE=Samiam22;40168391]Void isn't completely luck based. His RNG can make or break games, sure, but they can't make a bad Void good, only a good Void better.[/QUOTE] Still, game changing dodges and bashes are RNG and I don't really like that in the slightest.

[QUOTE=Pocket Medic;40168591][t]http://puu.sh/2rGct[/t] where we're going, we don't need medallions[/QUOTE] Medallion is an insanely good early game item though. -6 armour is a lot and for 1025, along with the mana regen it gives you, it's just all around an absolutely great item on Visage I get it every game as him.

[QUOTE=BuffaloBill;40167874]I fucking hate Spectre. Extremely mediocre until she gets her farm (No stun, no silence, no nuke, no slow worth mentioning, no evasion, no bashes etc etc), then she turns almost unstoppable. At least Medusa can establish lane dominance with that goddamn snake.[/QUOTE] I guess Icefrog balanced her around her mid-game rather than her early like the vast majority of other hard-carries, that can be my only guess though. Mid-game she's pretty brutal with her ultimate and a maxed Desolate. I always max Desolate first, with only one/two points in dagger. It's just so much better the earlier you get it. Dagger is a useless nuke anyway and your ult is much better for picking people off. [editline]5th April 2013[/editline] [QUOTE=Valiantttt;40167879]Doom not bringing much to total project of power? Radiance + Alpha wolves + Cuirass doom disagrees with you.[/QUOTE] And he usually gets Basilius too. Overall, Doom is an Aura whore. A giant flaming tower of death of an aura whore.

I remember my first and only game as spectre. Luna was low hp after a teamfight and then she goes in jungle. Pop my ult and 1vs1 kill her with 2 hits. type in chat 'lol', the rage of the luna was strong.

suddenly, a new general chat with a whopping 8 pages in it..

So glad that the few times I do get a Visage against me I've seen Medallion only once.

Dagger takes 130-160 mana and gives a fairly minimal speed change. By comparison, PA's dagger deals similar damage as Pure damage, has half the cooldown, a MUCH stronger slow and costs 30-15 mana. Spectral Dagger is in serious need of a buff, imo. [QUOTE=ForgottenKane;40168642] And he usually gets Basilius too. Overall, Doom is an Aura whore. A giant flaming tower of death of an aura whore.[/QUOTE] Ton of health, high regen, high movement speed. Can you blame him?

I accidentally queued for single draft. Our team comprised of a few people: A Furion and DK who were a party, a good Void who was a very good farmer, but was always calling out DK for being a terrible player, which he was, and a mute Razor. DK was a total cock and was insulting Void about everything, which made Void return comments, which in turn made DK throw even more insults around. DK was calling Void out for his spelling, while Void was obviously the better player. I sided with Void for laughs, since he was doing well and DK was calling him a spick and a Mexican, and then DK was shouting in allchat about how I was Void's friend and dicksucker and was obviously trolling. Void got a commend and DK reported everyone that wasn't Furion. How I wish that game ended before about 50 minutes.

I love when people jungle as Prophet and teleport to that radiant hill to kill the large camp. It looks so stupid, it's hilarious.

Randomed Viper, BS calls mid. We eventually switch right before the creep waves meet and I get to mid against a Russian Tiny. Needless to say, I got fed like Kim Jong-Un

The game TROLLS them. HAHAGHAAHAH I AM SO FUNNY Also, microing treants is too hard bro, that is a much better thing to do.

Is there any advantage to jungling at the radiant mountain/dire rune spawn as Prophet, when compared to using treants? I just can't see how that would be better, microing the treants requires no skill at all anyways.

[QUOTE=EXoDUSFLT;40169061]I love when people jungle as Prophet and teleport to that radiant hill to kill the large camp. It looks so stupid, it's hilarious.[/QUOTE] I've seen a Profit on my team get First Blood with that. As he tp'd to the Radiant hill he saw a low health Ursa trying to take down an ursa warrior camp. Ursa was getting low on health, and right as he turns around to walk away our Profit Sprouted him - with the big ursa creep inside the trees. Easiest First Blood I've ever seen. :v: [editline]5th April 2013[/editline] [QUOTE=Bordellimies;40169182]Is there any advantage to jungling at the radiant mountain/dire rune spawn as Prophet, when compared to using treants?

At the same time it's a hell of a lot slower than using your Treants and if they ward those spots you're fucked as you can't walk away when they come to you.

Finally broke my losing streak with Tide. I've also had a really good game with Sven, it could've been won if... PA was at least a bit useful. She went PT into *dun-dun-dun* Linkens. Sure, they had a Doom. But why would he ever ult her when she's able to do, like, nothing.

God damn it, I had a really good hero idea I was gonna write in the suggestions thread, and now I've forgotten it.

Hope that's how Skywrath will actually look like, that looks badass.

[QUOTE=Shibbey;40169456]Doom disables Coup De Grace.[/QUOTE] I know. But you see. What damage can she do with Linkens and PT. None, that's how much. There were much more interesting targets to doom, for example me with BF and a Daedalus.

[QUOTE=Jrock455;40169311]My girlfriend has 516 crates, haha[/QUOTE] Fair bit of store credit waiting to be made when the crate prices go up.
