[QUOTE=Minimal;40980204]This is orb walking correct? I Meant to try to orb walk for sometime but never think to do it in game...[/QUOTE]
if I recall correctly, orb walking is actually using manual casting of autocast orbs like drow's frost arrows to chase without drawing creep aggro (cast, move, cast, move, etc.)
[QUOTE=Rarara;40980138]1. Don't ever pick Sniper, he is a lot harder to play than it looks.
2. Drow sucks overall as a mid hero if your enemies are competent, you got long range but that's it, no rune control or good harass or other such things.
3. Try heroes such as Lich, Lina, Ogre Magi, Zeus, Sven or Chaos Knight for simple but effective gameplay (unlike Drow which requires positioning and isn't very effective either)
4. Of the heroes mentioned in this post, Drow Ranger, Sven (to some extent) and Chaos Knight requires competent farming ability, if you fail at farming you lose games.[/QUOTE]
What about skele king? He's an easy right click hero for newcomers to learn due to most of his skills being passive.

He's like Sniper, looks simple but isn't very simple.
As SK you need to farm like a mofo, because you are useless without farm (CK is pretty decent with only drums or armlet and level 11), you also need extremely good judgement of when to stun because you barely have any mana and need 140 leftover for reincarnation, you also need to know when to not use your crit ability like a retard (I've seen people save enemies with it because hurrrrrr) and the fact reincarnation can spawn you into 4 angry enemies.
He is also very prone to just being slowed or stunlocked because he doesn't have any way to move fast or otherwise get away.

Pretty much this.
I'm pretty new to dota, what's the best way to counter Centaur Warrunner? He has a bunch of HP and damage at the start and his stun is 2+ seconds at level 1
Was just in a game against him, he was paired with Phantom Assassin and just wrecked the entire game unless he got focused by all 5. In hindsight we had bad team heroes on our side and no good stuns.

KK thx for the info. Might pick up lina cause i heard her get mentioned. I Usually dont like melee hero's. I like my range.

Don't get stunned by him.
He has a FOUR HUNDRED damage nuke, on top of the stun damage, so he hurts like fuck.
You should generally just stay out of his way early on and gank him with 2-3 people with good damaging spells.

orchid/hex are good if he just keeps raging your cc/damage
[QUOTE=devon_wargod;40980684]is blink dagger still legit on lifestealer because of how vulnerable he is to kiting[/QUOTE]
if your team has no expendable stuns, slows, roots, blinks or any sort of coordination then yeah sure
people will call literally any hero OP
my shining moment was when a Lifestealer called Pugna OP
I know this is a little off-topic, but considering how it's tied to my want to play Dota and there's no better thread to ask in, I was wondering if anyone else was getting this:

Run the fuck away, he is completely cheap and very overpowered in pubs.
-there's a reason I mentioned the pubs part Devon-
[QUOTE=FlashMarsh;40981052]Run the fuck away, he is completely cheap and very overpowered in pubs.[/QUOTE]
there is a difference between overpowered and just annoying to deal with
Currently on horrible loss streak, mix of godlike enemies and useless teams. Last game, I was Bloodseeker. We had died 25 times and killed them 6 times. Every kill was by me. I got accused of feeding, and everyone reported me (apparrently) because I moaned at them for dying to Riki 8 TIMES IN THE FIRST 10 MINUTES.

veno and anyone in a lane is scary
Veno might have some nasty DoTs, but at least he doesn't poison you when you touch him. Sure he has Poison Nova, but it's not like it automatically triggers when you smack his snakeflower ass about.
Also I've said this once and I'll say it again, Venomancer needs an Arcane skin that puts him in a banana suit.
[QUOTE=Gate;40980593]And how to counter lifestealer? I hate that bastard and im tired of counter picking[/QUOTE]
Bane's a good counter to him. Or just kite him around. It's waaay easier to kite him now with the nerf to open wounds.
From what I can tell, there's a new soundfile added among other things that I don't know. The ogg is the prime indication of said soundfile (18 digit number, if that is of any significance), so I guess an item/spell is getting a new sound effect, or a hero is getting a new voiceline, or there's a new piece of music in the game.

[QUOTE=supersocko;40976698]It's like the ranged hero's vanguard, so I've been told.[/QUOTE]
mek is, mathematically, [I]always[/I] the better choice for survivability over vanguard, but only if you have the mana to support it.
I prefer mek's buildup too, since I usually play supports.

Looks like they've updated that set for QoP, the one that you can only get from buying the Premier League Season 5 Ticket.
