[QUOTE=nERVEcenter;34231984] And not a hint of elves so far.[/QUOTE] Isn't Nortrom an elf? Or was that just in Dota 1.

enchantress is like "come i have low hp please gank me" then she turns around "nope full hp you can't run away and i kill you myself"

[QUOTE=Terin7;34232842]I don't think it's as simple as humans, dwarves/gnomes, and elves. The only really cut-and-dry standard human heroes are Lina, CM, Windrunner, AM, Chen, Omni, Kunkka, Beastmaster, Mirana, Warlock, DK, and Silencer.[/QUOTE] Well, just to nitpick, DK is able to turn into a dragon. I, personally, would be hesitant to call him a true human.

If anyone has ever wondered how many players or servers there are in dota2, [url=http://games.opensteamworks.org/Chart/View/570]look no further[/url]. Interesting thing to note: The fairly linear increase in server counts can most likely be attributed to some automation on Valve's part to handle load after patches.

Back from my trip and no longer friday the 13th, hopes for a win. [editline]15th January 2012[/editline] Lost. Now I really am going to stop caring about my W-L. I thought I would even out, but 11 game losing streak, 10 from friday the 13th, I give up.

Generally speaking, which is better for Drow Ranger: Power Treads or Boots of Travel?

power treads boots of travel is a late game item most of the time (unless you're tinker)

[QUOTE=NomadicNinja;34234512]power treads boots of travel is a late game item most of the time (unless you're tinker)[/QUOTE] Let's say I'm well fed but not quite unstoppable. Should I go ahead and get the BoT then?

no get carry items first like i said boots of travel is a real late game item especially when tp scrolls start being less useful late game

Thanks, that helps a lot. [editline]16th January 2012[/editline] On a sidenote, I hate it when you have someone leave an inhouse game early because they get mad. It's one thing if everyone agrees to end because the game is going to be an unbearable onslaught, or everyone is a stranger to one another. But when it's always the same people playing together and someone ragequits, it really kills things.

My Lina build is like so: 1 Tango, 1 Mantle, 1 Scroll, 3 Branches Bottle, Boots 2 Null Talismans Boots of Travel Pointbooster, Void Stone Scythe of Vyse Should I switch the boots to after the pointbooster and void stone or is this fine?

Other than that your build is pretty good, but you must be some kind of farming god. [editline]16th January 2012[/editline] Also, 494 hours. You all lose.

Is it just me or does Windrunner fall off late game? Even when fed her Focus Fire ain't that great. Nor is her powershot

[QUOTE=ashxu;34236126]Is it just me or does Windrunner fall off late game? Even when fed her Focus Fire ain't that great. Nor is her powershot[/QUOTE] She does indeed, though not as much as most heroes. Her focus fire is always viable for killing towers, and shackleshot is really good forever.

Shackle Shot is one of the best non-Ultimate skills in the game.

I need someone to q with. I dont care if they're vastly greater than me, but I'm pretty much in elo hell for lol players except the hell is on my team and I'm facing arranged teams. [editline]16th January 2012[/editline] This isn't dwarf fortress, losing isn't fun, 13 games in a row.

Is Ursa Dota's noob stomper? He always feeds off my teammates.

[QUOTE=ashxu;34236685]Is Ursa Dota's noob stomper? He always feeds off my teammates.[/QUOTE] Ursa and SK = best pubstomp. [editline]16th January 2012[/editline] Or 4 carries + tidehunter.

[QUOTE=titopei;34236693]Ursa and SK = best pubstomp. [editline]16th January 2012[/editline] Or 4 carries + tidehunter.[/QUOTE] Level 1 Rosh win

First win in 3 days. [MEDIA]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P3ALwKeSEYs[/MEDIA]

Earlier today, I played a match as Chen. I only got 1/1/4. But I managed to bring down 3 towers and 2 sets of baracks with me and my creeps. (1 barrack and 2 towers there was other heroes though) But he was fun, and he is really easy to jungle with, or at least in the skill level I am at. (not good, I kinda fail at jungling as someone else. Would like to get better though) It's fun to have 3 good auras with you. The Satyr one, the Centaur one and the alpha wolf one. So HP regen, attack speed and damage. Together with Vladimir, Mekanism and scepter ( and of course power threads). I like how much you can push as Chen with scepter. Global heals every 30 seconds.
