Dota 2 General Chat XXIII - You can't go wrong with 6 boots - Games

i'm hoping arc warden will be a midget anubis

Yea, he'll probably be like an electric anubis

i just want skymage :c

I really want Abaddon, his concept is cool as hell. Hopefully they don't do the whole Skywrath thing and change it massively, I really preferred the old one.

5 cents says Arc warden will be related to Razor and Visage. You know, Warden. [editline]17th April 2013[/editline] Maybe he'll be like a Razor's hound :v:

[QUOTE=LukeyxD;40314958]I really want Abaddon, his concept is cool as hell. Hopefully they don't do the whole Skywrath thing and change it massively, I really preferred the old one.[/QUOTE] He already partly seen ingame from the screenshot that revealed Skywrath, he pretty much looks exactly the same as his concept art minus the cloak (but the cloak is in his texture files so I assume it was just bugged or unfinished in that screenshot).

So today I tried out clockwork. Yellow picks void as last pick, and goes with my lane. 'shit' I think but.. after giving first blood, it goes. double kill and then we gank Dragon Knight(who is in the damn jungle level 4) and I gank him again after. Then it is just GANK after GANK after gank. [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/bRCfgnp.png[/IMG]

Blademail isn't bad on Clockwork but I personally would rather go Necrobook, it works so god damn good together with him imo.

Skeleton King has 2175 gold Blinkdagger and 1600 gold Shadow Amulet Has no money for 450 gold boots What in the everliving fuck is going on in his mind I'm going to need the replay to that game, I want to see what was going on.

[QUOTE=Harpie;40314225]Viper is strong but no way is he OP, he's shut down by the fact his only escape mechanism is you attacking him which he wont have early game because he'll level nethertoxin like a smart cookie also he loses the game for his entire team if he goes solo mid against a caster (especially Silencer or Zeus)[/QUOTE] I wouldn't mind him nearly as much if his passive didn't give him 25% free magic resist at 4 He's just got resistances to every mechanic and it's annoying as shit.

[QUOTE=Petachepas;40315886]3 damn hearts. Good initiations I guess, though I prefer him as ganker/carry destroyer with Necro and Blademail[/QUOTE] Mana boots, drum, necrobook, scepter into heart or blade mail is very fun. "Lemme fuck your shit up".

29 minutes in, comfortably winning as lifestealer. A bit underfarmed due to people stealing all my kills, but I'm still able to output enough damage. We finish rosh and I go to take it. Suddenly, our gyrocopter takes it and announces in chat "finished rapier". He flat rushed it after treads. You've got 3 guesses as to how this ends. You only need one.

He feeds rapier and you lose the game.

[QUOTE=IAmAnooB;40315744]He's trying new meta, duh.[/QUOTE] wtf mode 24/7 meta obviously

Just 2 days ago I solo'd against what must have been the most unlucky group of dudes playing all random that day [img]http://i.imgur.com/dy5xqKc.png[/img] Take a guess which team won [url]http://dotabuff.com/matches/174057896[/url]

I want winter wyvern. How much you wanna bet him and Arc Warden will be done before techies?

[QUOTE=BoxinShrimp;40317005]I want winter wyvern. How much you wanna bet him and Arc Warden will be done before techies?[/QUOTE] Well, we got Gyro, Rubick and Shadow Demon who are much "newer" that techies, so it's very possible.

[QUOTE=Phir3;40317103]I'm new to dota, but I thought viper was a really bad pick competitively?[/QUOTE] Correct, because; 1) Viper is only single target in his moves 2)His teamfight contribution is pretty poor; he can zone in on the DPS carry and that's it. Not also counting how your business wouldn't go unnoticed. 3) He doesn't have an good escape 4) He's not Night Stalker

How counter Lifestealer? I gank gollum constantly and half the time he just comedy magic-immunes away, and the other half he dies but still gets away with becoming the fedmaster.
