[QUOTE=Smashman;34394077]I've seen pros get Soul Ring on Engima. I have no idea why.[/QUOTE] huge mana issues early game [editline]25th January 2012[/editline] hence why the recommended tab says to get four clarities

The magic fucking wand. Not that good, default build has it on EVERYONE. Am I being an idiot by not getting it or is it actually just really bad? If anything, I'm gonna get the motherfuckin' URN.

During team battles where spells fly everywhere it can be just the push you need to survive or kill, you can also save 15 charges and use it in a pinch or so. Its cheap as hell for the early game advantage it gives you. Of course its kinda useless against some heroes who barely use spells, like carries.

Troll names? Go. Bony the Boner king™ - whenever i play skeleton king.

I really hope clinkz is in the next update I fucking love him

[QUOTE=BeardyDuck;34394776]if you think wand is bad you're bad.[/QUOTE] I don't understand how to video game though.

Some stuff I did in the past two days. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6DSoAuqmiPU[/media] Beardy being fucking baller.

Randomed 3/4 games today. Won all 4 (2 with heroes I've never played before.) Quite fun stuff. The 81 minute game though I played with mirana was probably one of the most stressful games I've had though. Both Teams were out of barracks and it was just "whose mega creeps are gonna destroy the ancient first" scenarious.

[QUOTE=Reimu;34385854]We have a few actually. If you're interested, I'm running an inhouse practice/matchmaking group and I can send you an invite. It currently has 42 members (19 before I gave FP invites out :v: ) and we usually do one or two matches a day, if not more.[/QUOTE] That would be delightful

I wish DotA2 allowed you to pick but not lock in heroes. I always wait so I can pick around my teammates but everyone does fucking stupid shit like pick two more carries when I already picked one. Your average <moba> player (in my opinion): DotA2: People that think they're pro shit when they feed/do bad LoL: retards and brain dead idiots HoN: tryhards that yell at you for everything

? The only game I solo queue a lot is LoL. Only played duo queue for HoN and DotA2 maybe 50% of the time I play with somebody.

You can't just disregard whatever he says because of his kill/death, new player status, pro shit attitude, what ever. Look at it openly, it's probably true that pudge did suck, but he had no right to say you were balls, unless you really were off. Maybe you just need to take a break from dota 2 instead of letting the stress pile up.

Finally got the game, expected it to be hard. Started up a game with bots. Got my ass kicked. And again. And again. And again. Damn, I suck. I could use an invite to the FP group, but don't expect me to play until I'll kick the shit out of bots.

Bots are WAY more coordinated than your average Dota player, they can all literally time their abilities to the millisecond. Example: I'm playing as pudge, and I pull Tiny out of a group of bots. In the exact same moment he lands in front of me (as I START doing Slaughter), he does Avalanche, Earthshaker casts Fissure and Lina casts Sunbeam, then Dragonslave and Ultimate. This all happened within 1-2 seconds. Not possible with pubs. They aren't any better though, in terms of judging situations and could-be's and maybes.

Also that pudge was TehWoodPcker :v: He and I got most of the kills and initiations. At some point I forgot we even had an Anti Mage because he barely did anything to contribute.

Imma just draw a pic how it went: [img]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/29491585/essave.png[/img] The pudge was basically stuck there for 8 seconds. It's on the Radiant 1st mid tower, he was there in the small path between the trees as you can see form the pic. I'm the orange triangle (ES) and the orange line being my fissure path. Purple circle being faceless and red cross being Pud[B]j[/B]e. Everyone should figure out the place. (Before anyone asks why was I in such an odd position, I got an early blink and blinked there from river) Also, I was on Dire side.

Oh hey It's Thursday. [img]http://i.imgur.com/f189u.jpg[/img] Who keeps track of this shit?
