Dota 2 - Newbies, read the OP. Veterans, play Anti-Mage. - Games

[QUOTE=Godrek;34117194]I really dont like playing against AM.. but I don't want to pick him because hes boring. Ugh[/QUOTE] AM isn't boring. Hes incredible

Is Anti-Mage's real name Magina? I saw it on one of the sites. It's a goldmine for puns.

[QUOTE=Demeschik;34117412]Is Anti-Mage's real name Magina? I saw it on one of the sites.

Anybody here tried playing Tinker this way? [url]http://www.trinigamers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=4269[/url]

[QUOTE=xCladx;34117405]AM isn't boring. Hes incredible[/QUOTE] Incredibly boring. Blink, manta, win. You don't even have to right click heroes, just let him autoattack everything and you will still win

[QUOTE=Godrek;34116041]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? [editline]8th January 2012[/editline] What is the advantage of a trilane? just the two solos you get out of it?[/QUOTE] The goal of a trilane is to feed money to your carry. That is the ONLY purpose of a trilane. With 2 supports in the lane, your carry should be getting every last hit which = 400 gpm. You pick supports like earthshaker and ancient apparition that need no items and are fully effective at level 6, coupled with a hard carry to get them their core items as fast as possible. The fact that you get two solos is just a benefit. [editline]8th January 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=Kendra;34115695]You're new to Playdota.com.

[editline]8th January 2012[/editline] I just think it's weird that everyone is willing to laugh when people make fun of me but no one is willing to own up to the fact that everything you say at this point is bullshit.

Holy shit, most amazing game just played in The Defense tournament. Na´Vi vs. J4T, it was awesome!

stop your drama you trolls

[QUOTE=melonmonkey;34118043] Again something I've never said. You guys are a bunch of retards. [/QUOTE] calling people retards isn't very nice sir!

The former. Although that is not related to this thread so continue with your discussion!

So, Spiritbreaker, 6.73 and Silencer soon. Silencer seems pretty cool, Spiritbreaker looks like a rodeo bull and 6.73 seems to buff almost everything. Anyone played Silencer in Dota ? I wonder what sort of hero he is.

[QUOTE=Pascall;34118277]calling people retards isn't very nice sir![/QUOTE] I know, I'm just not sure how much more of the lying I'm going to have to take before it stops. [editline]8th January 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=Godrek;34118855]I have played him, hes an int carry basically[/QUOTE] More a support than a carry. He has carry potential but a real problem actually reaching that point, since he has no survivability nor a farming mechanism.

Silencer is an excellent carry.

[QUOTE=pvt.meh;34118922]Silencer is an excellent carry.[/QUOTE] Not really. 1. He's rarely ever picked in competetive play 2. He has no survivability. 3. His carry mechanic is snowballing which requires kills that aren't guaranteed in dota. 4. As I said before, he has no farming mechanic so he can't get last hits. 5. He has no hard disables. Last word is nice because it's global, but it doesn't stand up to chronosphere or or mana burn in consistency.

So I'm a bit stuck on what boots to get on Night Stalker. I usually get Power Treads on him but I sometimes think "Wow I'm getting stuck behind allies/creeps/enemies and it's causing me to die. Maybe I should get Phase instead?"(This doesn't happen too often but it has stopped me from getting kills and has caused some problems when escaping.) But Nightstalker is already so fast that I feel he doesn't really need phase most of the time. The stats from Power Treads really help out too. What do you guys think?

He is called night "stalker" for a reason. He is most effective in a 1v1 situation. 1v2 makes his life much much harder, and 1v3 is impossible without a euls.

[QUOTE=BeardyDuck;34118598]she's mexican[/QUOTE] Well I meant a fan of the French language. But Pascall answered my question the the answer I was expecting. Also, Death Prophet is french!

Pascall if you think melonmonkey isn't being nice then wait 'till you see a DOTA 2 pub game! [editline]8th January 2012[/editline] Fortunately though the DOTA 2 pub games in the beta aren't as bad as some MOBA games, however.

Honestly, I expressed an unfavorable opinion without naming names or attacking anyone. Then everyone started attacking me personally. I haven't been mean to anyone.

It's kind of funny every time melonmonkey asks for people to show him the quotes and such to back up why people don't like him, because he's the only one that needs to be convinced when almost the entire thread is sharing the same opinion about him.

What I don't understand is why people keep making things up and then refusing to say where they got their information from. I'm really confused now. I've asked at least 10 times for people to back up where they pulled their stuff from, and no one has ever done it. Everyone just ignores me and pretends like I'm spouting some sort of monstrous, profane insult that people are too good to read. I honestly couldn't care less whether or not you people like me. I honestly don't care whether or not you insult me. I just want you to insult me based on things I've actually said, not things you've made up.

[QUOTE=Smashman;34119036] A buff to everything, is a buff to nothing. [img]http://www.facepunch.com/fp/emoot/eng101.gif[/img][/QUOTE] It's some minor nerfs, a couple of significant ones and entire rest is increasing abilities damage, tweaking cooldowns, or stuff like with Axe (buff to team on ulti kill, bonus MS via berserker, decreased CD between helix). I think game might become more lively, as survivability-wise not much has changed ( or I didn't notice the changes) but damage-wise a lot has gone up. Oh, -25HP on Vanguard.
