Well, I filled it in like 2~3 months ago... still no key

Usually when a team is losing there are still people who have good/equal scores. This is because kills do still happen and for example a carry like Viper is likely to get them.
If I was to guess, Brood got ganked a lot with some invisi removal, Doom got bad lane (but he could make a comeback by just nomnoming creeps), Seer just didn't get kills, helped get those 4 and died in process and Venom did bad.

It will be a good match.[/QUOTE]
Hah, Na'Vi just wiped the floor with nirvana on the first game.
Silly me, I always thought DotA was based on the map "Aeon of Strife" from Starcraft 1...You know, that game blizzard released before Warcraft 3.

A good tip is to get a bunch of friends and play with them. That's what I did back when I played HoN.

Yeah. Nah. They where simply awful.
[QUOTE=Prism;34111004]Hah, Na'Vi just wiped the floor with nirvana on the first game.[/QUOTE]
In the second game Na'Vi had a 16,000 gold lead at the 18:00 minute mark so that's that.
It was a very nice match, first game was quite balanced and the second... oh well.
Goddamn, second match is taking more than half an hour to set up.

Christ, Morphling is weird.
You need farm to do anything, as you are late game carry (stat managment, adaptive strike, replicate).
How do I farm early to mid without attracting shitton of gankers ?
Also, game suggests Perseverance as early game item. Is it good actually ? Regen sure helps in lane and allows to farm with Waveform, but aside from Linken or possibly Battlefury there is little to make out of it.
What's a good site for DotA guides?
Also would it be wise to get Vladmir's Offering on Drow Ranger? I get it after I buy that dagger which allows you to go invisible for 9 seconds or something.

Morphling is not really a pubbable hero. I've tried it time and again, it doesn't work. You need a trilane, and you need 4 teammates that can provide you at least one lane to afk farm in at all times. You need to get every single last hit for 40 minutes which is about the time morphling becomes viable.
By this time you need to have linkens, manta, bkb/butterfly, and at least one more 3-5k gold str/agi item, or you might as well have picked a different carry.

You're new to Playdota.com. You shouldn't have talked, nor should you be allowed to.
This guy is being polite and accepting his failure to see a button, can you guys just stop making this worse? I haven't ever seen him be rude to new players, maybe he has, maybe he hasn't, but all I see here is a bunch of people continually bringing it up and it's just trashing the thread so can you please stop?

I never played in any inhouses and such in dota, so I never saw trilanes or anything. What is the advantage of a trilane? Just the two solos that you gain from it?

I don't know much, but it seems that it's 2 sololanes and "micro-team" for trilane.
The "micro-team" means that trilane usually consits of initiator/support, support and hard carry. This way teamfights can happen there regularly during laning phase and they do happen, so that carry can start doing his job early against all 5 enemies.
I might be pulling this out of my ass, as I've never done trilane, but let's say Morphling/Faceless assisted by Omniknight and Vengeful Spirit. Carry gets heal, magic immunity, slow on enemies, stun, armor decrease and damage aura. This of course means that Omni and Venge will have very few lasthits and all three will have less experience, but this sort of lane is scary to fight against.
Now, for 2 sololanes you could cast anything, Venomancer and Pudge for example.

Is it me, or do new hero icons seem to fit old hero icons ?
I mean, new "faces" don't stand out among Warcraft III pictures.
I really dont like playing against AM.. but I don't want to pick him because hes boring. Ugh
