Definitely not harassing. :v: [editline]29th January 2012[/editline] I don't understand how she's a semi-carry. Can someone explain.

Insatiable hunger is a good steroid skill that helps her do a lot of damage and stay alive in a teamfight, if she has BKB, which isn't too hard, seeing as she can get a ton of gold from getting towers down and sending spiders to jungle.

You can even turn around when 1 person is chasing you and just use it when you have low health

Good god, I'm only qing with a team, my brother, or friends from now on. Just saw a batrider go 0-10 and a slardar go 0-6. You have to actually try to feed with slardar.

Solo Lich, Ring of regen. Never leave lane. Win lane.

Just had two matches with good ol' Haxxer. The outcome: [IMG]http://cloud.steampowered.com/ugc/595834936612185264/3A06D403C88D3F3D7351E93C59CE4803282B8173/[/IMG] [IMG]http://cloud.steampowered.com/ugc/595834936612180568/6E4ED359E1F2476AA9E0D1AC36609A0E7D1E4D1F/[/IMG] Now, enough matches for today. Don't want to feel bad before I get to bed.

What's an easy class to play? I'm terrible at this game and a complete noob in Dota.. [editline]29th January 2012[/editline] I really want to get into this game, so if anyone has any tips?

Step by step guide to nightstalker: Step 1: Carefully farm to level 6. (try to max void and hunter of the night as much as you can until then) Step 2: You are now level 6. Wait until night and look for heroes that are alone. Gank them. Step 3: Continue to gank, use your ulti when the night is almost over. Step 4: Start being in teamfights, helping to secure kills with your void, and chase ability (in the night). Step 5: Win. Just go with recommended items, if they have a lot of disables just go bkb after phase boots/power threads & Urn of Shadows.

Might be better to cast at the start of night for cooldown.

[QUOTE=Glent;34449338]You can use ulti at any point in night and it will have the same effect as using it when night is almost over, because it pauses time.[/QUOTE] Yeah, but using it at night is a waste unless night is about to end.

[QUOTE=Rats808;34449353]Yeah, but using it at night is a waste unless night is about to end.[/QUOTE] Why? If you cast it at the start of night, it makes that night last 25-80 seconds longer and it will be off cooldown before night ends.

[QUOTE=Rats808;34449353]Yeah, but using it at night is a waste unless night is about to end.[/QUOTE] what are you talking about

[QUOTE=The Mighty Boat;34449392]what are you talking about[/QUOTE] All his ult does is make night longer, if it's already night. If you're chasing someone or about to gank, it's pointless to cast it unless night it about to end, since you'll get nothing out of it.

[QUOTE=Rats808;34449353]Yeah, but using it at night is a waste unless night is about to end.[/QUOTE] it adds upon night time so basically you pop ultimate and it goes into night, then it goes into the normal night, then you pop it again and woop, you have nighttime 24/7

[QUOTE=Rats808;34449420]All his ult does is make night longer, if it's already night. If you're chasing someone or about to gank, it's pointless to cast it unless night it about to end, since you'll get nothing out of it.[/QUOTE] Making night longer is the whole point. It will be off cooldown before night ends. You realize that his ulti pauses time, right? So if you cast it at the start of night, you get it's duration of night, aswell as the whole night cycle.

So if you cast it at the start of night, you get it's duration of night, aswell as the whole night cycle.[/QUOTE] Yeah, I know. But using it when it's already night, and night is nowhere near ending, seems pointless, since you don't get anything immediately. It makes more sense to wait until night is close to ending, or it's daytime.

[QUOTE=Rats808;34449603]Yeah, I know. But using it when it's already night, and night is nowhere near ending, seems pointless, since you don't get anything immediately. It makes more sense to wait until night is close to ending, or it's daytime.[/QUOTE] THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE DUMB DUMB. if you pop it at the start, it pauses the time and when the ult ends it resumes the time. if you pop it at the end, it pauses time and when the ult ends it resumes the time. you also want to pop it off as early as you can so that by the time night ends, you only have like 40 seconds on your ult.

I retract what I said, Beardy and Glent is right. You can continue to keep it night by just spaming your ult at the beginning of the night. Therefor making it take a lot more time to become day. You should be able to make at least 2-3 ultis, and that is a lot of time added to the night, in-game.

Right, I'm dumb, nevermind. I've only played him once or twice anyways.

Any tips for Faceless Void? I fucking die way too much early game; I use my Q to escape, but most of the time it's a dot.

[QUOTE=Meatpuppet;34449804]Any tips for Faceless Void? I fucking die way too much early game; I use my Q to escape, but most of the time it's a dot.[/QUOTE] Don't take any risk until you have Chrono Sphere. I played like that my very first time as Void and never felt in danger.

Long lane, get support to harass and pull lane. Farm for 30 mins, that's it really.

I really need good people to play with, I'm done with playing with russians who think that doing well midgame then fucking around will help us win. Lost 2 games today where we could've ended at ~30 mins but it lasted to 60 mins with their hard carry out carrying us

Hey maru you didn't happen to record my Stalwart silencer skills on your stream earlier did you?
