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

[img]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9673253/Images/Screenshots/Silencer%20Vic1.png[/img] First win as Silencer. I really like the hero, but I don't have alot of knowledge for him. Anything I should have built/done differently? I opened with 6 tangos, 2 clarities, 2 branches and a courier, got base boots then build Rod of Atos, power treads, orchid and was building scythe, with a wand somewhere along the line.

God damn Bara.

I just noticed, Silencer looks a lot like Dragon Knight, they have a very similar helmet, and the same color scheme.

So I just did (and streamed) my first Spirit Breaker game. Oh god damn he's so good.

Ancient Apparition (me), Jeriko and Engima going berserk on their team. Frost Vortex > Black Hole > All of Jeriko's abilities and sometimes coupled with my ultimate. Fun fun.

Made both top laners rage quit lol. Their Kunkka was a dumbass though. I was running back to our tower after chasing Kunkka because he was on 100 hp or something. When I was running back he chased me so I turned around and ulted him. [thumb]http://cloud.steampowered.com/ugc/594707594708938447/400260FA22E4EA994AACF398B48CC60C0E391C7B/?.jpg[/thumb]

Just got a 14/4 as skelly king Have a 6/0 win lose ratio so far with him, :downs: best part is that our witch doctor gave them first blood because he disconected for about 10 minutes but then he came back underleveled as hell and still did decent

Allright, so my PC had to reset mid-game (didn't see the update notification) and now Dota 2 "doors" won't open. Console just says "Date query from <time when reset happend> ...> and Failed to connect. Tips?

just played a game as Nevermore, 45 mins into the game it crashes. I reconnect and some fucking retard sold my items, don't know how I still managed to win that match (we were losing when I crashed)

They really need to make the background image a .gif like the Invitational stream.

[QUOTE=BeardyDuck;34210628]silencer who built orchids before push stick SIGH.[/QUOTE] SIGH all those scrubs who don't know what to build. Force before or after upgrading boots?

[QUOTE=BeardyDuck;34210628]silencer who built orchids before push stick SIGH.[/QUOTE] why is force staff so important on silencer? its because he doesnt have scape skills, or another reason?

[QUOTE=Gate;34211408]why is force staff so important on silencer? its because he doesnt have scape skills, or another reason?[/QUOTE] escape, +17.5 damage (10 base 10 int) and more attack speed??? what's not to like. [editline]14th January 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=Glent;34211268]SIGH all those scrubs who don't know what to build. Force before or after upgrading boots?[/QUOTE] after 2nd tier boots.

Orchid is 1k gold less than it should be right now. New price, old (better) stats.

(It seemed like a good item to me, both for the active and some int)

[QUOTE=Smashman;34204657]Does the Battlefury Cleave stack? So if I get 2 Battlefuries, I get 70% AOE damage? Surely not.[/QUOTE] dendi lol build 5 battlefuries into 6 divine rapiers

Does valve even beta test before they release updates? 1. Orchid price not right. 2. Any item use dispells silencer's curse. 3. Spiritbreaker can bash structures

[QUOTE=melonmonkey;34212086]Does valve even beta test before they release updates? 1. Orchid price not right. 2. Any item use dispells silencer's curse. 3. Spiritbreaker can bash structures[/QUOTE] Why would they beta test a beta? ;)

[QUOTE=Glent;34211708]Otherwise, is power boots, force, atos, orchid good items? Or should I avoid atos? (It seemed like a good item to me, both for the active and some int)[/QUOTE] yes atos is a fine item on silencer.
