[QUOTE=Glent;34278627]Why would Roshan call you a noob?[/QUOTE] Because I often forget to ward paths to him and he gets "jacked" half the way.

I think I'm getting good as Lich. [img]http://cloud.steampowered.com/ugc/649876689790235218/C67494BD5D6F9B2C1A331EE4FD48E4A5EF9B67B1/[/img]

[QUOTE=Glent;34278627]Why would Roshan call you a noob?[/QUOTE] Not directly. He bitch-slaps you every 1 second or so, which is sort of calling you a noob followed with occasional [I]bashing[/I].

Played 3 practice matches So that i don't upset a team with being godawefull. Juggernaut- got raped, i can see that he'd be a good hero in the right hands, but these hands are not currently mine Sven- Got raped, but i improved a lot, He's a decent enough character and i almost got a kill. Would play again soonish. Jakiro - Fucking awful Character. Strength heroes - Best for new players?

Oh man, still don't have a beta key, did the survey a looong time ago.. Are you guys holding any contest for invites or something similar?

Try Lich (very simple, yet powerful support with infinite mana while laning) Skeleton King (3 passive abilities, one requires you to just have mana when dying, only "spell" = target stun) Sniper (raaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaange, 2 skills, simple AoE and target nuke on long range with delay) Necrolyte (satysfying guy to play, honestly) Warlock (same) Axe isn't really that deep, just read his skills Doombringer too I think, as long as you eat creeps and eat creeps.

Just had a game with a huskar who didn't know how to turn off burning spears and killed himself several times with it. :downs:

Rikimaru is so fun. (Disarm is godly) Made me lol: [url]http://www.dota2wiki.com/images/b/ba/Riki_invis_02.mp3[/url]

[sp]Just played him with witch doctor and completely raped our lane[/sp]

[QUOTE=The Jack;34278991]Jakiro - Fucking awful Character. [/QUOTE] don't blame the hero, blame the player.

Landing a full macropyre results in the entire enemy team been half dead(dead if low hp) if you got Aghanims. The damage it does its fucking stupid.

playing with a venomancer that doesn't use wards (at all), a sandking that never uses his ultimate and an ancient apparition that shoots random ulties at people with full hp

So, I'm looking to branch out from Skeleton King. Tried to get into Batrider, but he's just a bit tough and tricky to play as (Yea, I know, spam napalm at anything that moves), but I guess I'm not used to a Ganker role. I've played as Alchemist a few times, the only thing that gets me is when I self-stun, other than that, I just really haven't played him. Any other heroes you guys suggest I try?

She takes a bit of learning, but I feel that her role is rather easy to identify and her skills are self-explanatory. The blink might seem a bit daunting, but even if you only use at as an escape mech you're bound to get the other spells off successful.

[QUOTE=BeardyDuck;34279866]don't blame the hero, blame the player.[/QUOTE] What i got out of trying Jakiro was that he is harder to focus fire someone down compared to others, but totally rapes entire teams in teamfights with AoEs

Anyone have tips for pudge? I want to play him but I don't want to look like a retard when i matchmake. Other than being in the retard mmr, I don't think they'd care.

Don't you mean you hug(????) their faces off?

fuzzy wuzzy

mother of god Actually had a kick ass team just then. Most of the people used voice chat and we had an awesome Tidehunter that initiated like a boss. I was playing Omni, I used Repel on him, he blinked in and locked down the whole enemy team.
