[QUOTE=IAmAnooB;34449258]Nightstalker. Just watch out for disables (stun, hex and so on). 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.[/QUOTE] so I tried that and got 3/5 K/D...we lost. I'm terribad.

[QUOTE=Bullet100;34452902]so I tried that and got 3/5 K/D...we lost. I'm terribad.[/QUOTE] Call more for ganks, if you've been trying to get solo kills too often, you're doing it wrong. Also get at least 1 level of silence if there is a stunner/blinker/ghost walk on their team when you're ganking. If you feel like you're going to do well during first night, hit that ult RIGHT AWAY when night starts, this way you can use it twice in 1 night to extend the night. Keep this tactic in mind. Balanar is a snowball hero, if you don't start off well it's hard to keep going. Also try to runewhore

Also that pudge disconnected for like 20 or 30 minutes and suddenly came back towards the end of the game. It was like he ragequit but then wanted to come back for more. The SS was not that good too. He kept on running pass mid or getting silenced and shut down with my nuke :v:.

Played Clinkz for the first time, couldn't farm because Dragon Knight kept stealing my last hits. Axe and Void don't think to check Roshan until after Ursa's already killed it, and Rhasta keeps telling [i]us[/i] to buy wards and courier. Needless to say we lost.

[QUOTE=aydin690;34456865]Uh, use your fire passive thing to farm everything.[/QUOTE] It's not a passive, and I was trying to. He kept running up and hitting everything before it got low enough for either of us to last hit, and our creeps would kill it before I could.

I'm starting to get sick of one person fucking over a game. It's happened the past five queue's I've done. All the games of which i'm the highest level and sometimes the highest GPM. People suck.

Why do I always get Russians when I search the US East. Does this game somehow hate me? Because I've now had my 100th loss due to these idiots that always feed the likes of Riki.

I'm starting to believe Russians are purposely trying to ruin our games.

Venom too good. [editline]29th January 2012[/editline] [IMG]http://cloud.steampowered.com/ugc/631863734312293991/F55850E76974BEF224C810D856E968CB3A161ED2/[/IMG] Brood left after like 4 mins but we still managed to win the game.

[thumb]http://puu.sh/f5zT[/thumb] First Alch game, his passive is so cool. Really a motivation to last hit too. :v:

I would like to play Alchemist, but I don't think I am a good enough player for him sadly. So I will just try not go him and play something else instead. Like Nai'x.

[QUOTE=IAmAnooB;34459291]I would like to play Alchemist, but I don't think I am a good enough player for him sadly. So I will just try not go him and play something else instead. Like Nai'x.[/QUOTE] I randomed him 3 times in a row. Farm like crazy, get enough tank items and radiance then go apeshit on the enemy team.

I can't get myself to like Radiance, sure the damage bonus is nice. But I am not a fan of the whole burn thing. It feels like it can easily countered.

[QUOTE=IAmAnooB;34459652]I can't get myself to like Radiance, sure the damage bonus is nice. But I am not a fan of the whole burn thing. It feels like it can easily countered.[/QUOTE] It causes steady flow of damage on everyone in the radius. If you survive, let's say, 20 second teamfight it can deal up to 800 magical damage per unit. Not much, but that's per unit, so up to 4000 magical damage total in 20 seconds (still, magic = base -25%). But I think it's more of a farm item. Alchemist's passive + radiance = Farm-a-ton 3000

I just wanna win one game without having to match make with friends. I got a retarded Tinker that kept bitching about how bad pudge was, even though he died to him alot. The whole team wasn't even English and continued to bitch, calling each others noobs and such because Pudge being a fed asshole and Bounty being fed by Natures Prophet.

They just don't give a shit. At all. The moment they think game is over (and some can judge so by first blood) they will just pretend to play and voice their displeasure about the team, because they feel like they are stuck in the game until it's over so they can try again. They could go afk, but that's reportable. I've only once managed to turn a guy over, simply by being nice, talking to the team and acknowledging their good play. It might sound naive, but instead of calling people idiots he sat quiet and clearly focused. Would you expect a Pudge who bitched whole early game that bot lost the lane and Riki should be deprived of internet to actually save people with his hook mid/late game and sacrifice himself to save said Riki ? I didn't, but he did so. Too bad Riki was still hostile towards Pudge for that early game argument.

You really helped us a lot as Invoker too, saved our asses a few times with those tornadoes. [QUOTE=lionheart1066;34459843]I just wanna win one game without having to match make with friends.

[editline]30th January 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=Banhfunbags;34455818]587 GPM Mother of god[/QUOTE] To be honest 500+ is really what a carry should have if he/she is properly fed. But I appreciate the awe :v: A friend of mine actually broke down Drow stats for me, and a 100% flawless game should also end with 500 last hits. He had some pretty strict calculations for buying drow items, but, damn, do they work. Haven't tried ancient stacking yet but as you can tell did not need it that game :v:.

[QUOTE=Reimu;34460115]Yeah thanks! You really helped us a lot as Invoker too, saved our asses a few times with those tornadoes.[/QUOTE] I tried to do my best, but there's a few times I know I messed up and got myself (and probably others) killed.

Is it wrong of me to hate all Russian douches that play Dota2? ... The Russians that suck at this game... I mean: - no english chat - Russian mic speaking - 70-80% noobs (first time players) I tried switching to US servers... Guess what? 10 games where teams had at least 2-3 russians teamed up, no english speaking again. I'm frustrated even more. And if a Russian is playing pro-ish, in some sorts, he goes ahead and blames the rest of the team for feeding, etc.

And I'll agree that most Russians are annoying as fuck. But there are also times when I've played with a couple o' them who spoke good enough English and played above average.

I stated that only Russians that suck at Dota2... And yes, I've played with some outstanding Russian people. I won't deny that. Shoudn't they have their own area? Asia-Russia somewhat. Don't get me wrong, but when I see players with chirilic names, my fingers get itchy to press "Leave".

Sorry for the 20 actual proper Russian players but the rest fucks it up for them.
