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

Just got an invoker that called me a noob for missing a hook and left the match ...after I got first blood and 2 other kills. :I

silencer vs dark seer just take a level in surge and hes useless against you, 20 mana cost and very spammable

tornado+emp+deafening blast so fun

Morello trying to justify why there will never be a hero like Invoker in LoL is kinda funny: [url]http://clgaming.net/redtracker/topic/26518/?p=1[/url] It's like they have a stick that measures the fun ratio.

" if you make mistakes big enough to cause "disaster" on a regular basis and it isnt one of your first times playing then you probably go down the stairs each morning on your fucking face

[QUOTE=Tokagero;34322606]3 Invokers fought already, all went "Wex max first, Tornade + EMP". I know it's effective, but hell if it's not as annoying as "Cheese" in SC II .[/QUOTE] Good strategy for a starting invoker?

pugna is underplayed, hes an amazing support

not to mention that even at the low levels, quas gives invoker the hp regen of a fucking god, so harassing him out of mid is fucking hard.

This has changed directionally for our upcoming characters, starting with the very next one." don't they say that every patch 'our next champion with have some new system that really isnt new at all and doesnt do anything to affect gameplay but it sounds cool'

LoL is bad. I hope DotA 2 is F2P and makes it die out.

"i cant see pudge?? hes probably just tower hugging no point in checking the sidelanes" -the last words of everyone ever

Is aghanims on invoker even useful?

[QUOTE=titopei;34327956]Is aghanims on invoker even useful?[/QUOTE] yes, it allows you to invoke your spells ungodly fast, but theres sort of a "skill cap" and if you dont reach it you wont really get the benefit

[QUOTE=The Mighty Boat;34327749]pugna is underplayed, hes an amazing support[/QUOTE] "I put my abilities to no good use." "Time to earn myself a bad reputation."

[QUOTE=Haxxer;34328294]"I put my abilities to no good use." "Time to earn myself a bad reputation."[/QUOTE] youre right, when hes played its usually very badly, but if hes played by someone who knows what theyre doing he has the potential to be one of the best suports in the game

nether ward best ability ingame

ok i played quite a bit of pudge and i now have a lot less sympathy for people who complain about hooks being tough to land. unless i faced 6 horrible, horrible russian pubs in a row they're nowhere near as bad as the amount of people who complain about them make them seem

[quote]No, I'm painting it as a good example - I don't care if it's original to LoL. I care very, very little about originality, only making stuff that's good.[/quote] no wonder half of lol's champions are the offsprings of past champions.

Having fun with pugna so far, even if I'm facing terrible people.

how do I pugna I've tried a lot of times to play him right and I just can't

He needs a team that uses a lot of teamwork because most of the time he won't kill a hero 1v1. But he is an extremely good tower/lane pusher and his netherward does wonders in teamfights, not to mention his Banish spell.

[QUOTE=Dr.Scrake;34329219]how do I pugna I've tried a lot of times to play him right and I just can't[/QUOTE] For me, it's usually life drain when they use all their disables, hide the ward somewhere since 1600 range is pretty huge, and I think decrepify yourself before a fight/decrepify someone who is dying so they can get away. [editline]21st January 2012[/editline] Once mana usage is up into the 400's, lvl 3 ward does wonders.

Can you use life drain while you have decrepify on yourself?

yes

Man, it's no wonder shadow shaman is my most played/successful hero. [img]http://cloud.steampowered.com/ugc/631862291342046757/8F1D21B70EAFB895DEB1074D972DA3E490FA03DE/[/img] fucking love him
