[QUOTE=NoShogun;41158072]That's so true. My newbie friend is actually pumped for Abaddon b/c he resembles the LoL character he was really good at.
It's more important new players know who to avoid as opposed to who to play as. IMO a newbie can pick anyone but Invoker, Meepo, Wisp, Chen/ench[/QUOTE]
my first hero ever was meepo, i got dota 2 on the week he was released and randomed him in a bot game
hes my favorite and best hero now with over 160 games as him in my 1000 or so games

if you are a new player and want to learn a hard to play hero, you just need dedication and you will hit the spot
[QUOTE=NoShogun;41157958]Teaching new players is tricky. Sometimes non-newbie heroes just click with them. I was told not to pick Dazzle, but he's probably my favourite hero to play as. On the other hand, I also really wanted to play Morphling and I did just terrible (I do better with him now, though)[/QUOTE]
To be fair Dazzle is fairly straightforward.
Using his heal effectively to damage people and knowing when to use invulnerability might be a bit tricky, but if a newbie really wants to play Shadow Fiend or Alchemist they will run into problems, although, nothing they can't eventually climb over.

Freefarm is best farm.
[QUOTE=Unisath;41157922]what happens if you're enchantress and you enchant a phantom lancer illusion
does it do a shadow demon disruption thing where you can have an army of phantom lancer illusions?[/QUOTE]
I think it just puts down a slow.
[QUOTE=Zoran;41158602]I think it just puts down a slow.[/QUOTE]
Nah, you get the PL illusion and can make an army.
I'm going through the player's handbook for Dungeons and Dragons [sp]because I'm making a Dota related campaign[/sp] and under Wondrous Items, for 17,000 gold is Dust of Appearance. It basically works the same way in D&D as it does in Dota, and gold basically has the same value as well. So that made me chuckle. :v:
Who do you guys watch for streamers? I like Purge and Merlini, and would like some others that just play matches and commentate what they're doing.

That's absolutely ridiculous.

if you have complete freefarm (which i assume he did) + exra gold from randoming, thats pretty normal.

my first two heroes were lycan and AM, because everyone keep saying how easy they were, this was before 6.75, I think that after that tried silencer
the following months I keep discovering heroes I really enjoyed (Disruptor, Death prophet, undying, necrolyte).
It's good to remark that the heroes people suggest in guides and stuff are that, suggestions, and new players should be encouraged to pick heroes they find interesting, or try out new heroes, and then get better at them.
Also I still enjoy playing lycan, always liked the theme of the hero since I tried him on W3 dota

I honestly don't get this whole deal about 'free-farm'. I don't think I've ever had a game where I could say that when playing a hard carry I had free-farm before 15 minutes or so.
carrymancer too stronk!

Freefarm quite literally means that nobody is hindering you from farming.
Example: You are up against a solo lane hero that sucks horribly (example: Faceless Void) or 2 incredibly bad feeders and can farm uncontested.

Draskyll taught me how to rice like a boss and he is funny when playing with friends.
Blitzdota taught me how to mid lane
Barnyyy for amazing heavy commentary and a laugh
Alia for big plays
NoTail for great micro skillz
QPADWagamama for pro player skills and also meepo
and Jigglebilly too
[QUOTE=Batmoutarde;41155509]orchid was just for tidehunter ultin[/QUOTE]
A question: there was a Bananamancer on that match? :v:
the way i learnt to play dota is by watching jigglebilly every single broadcast religiously
jiggle is love, jiggle is life
[QUOTE=Quinnjdq;41154848]Can anyone with Gloomblade take a picture of it with ulti? Seeing as they fixed my PA's warblade from the set I would love to see how they fixed Gloomblade.[/QUOTE]
Anyone?
[QUOTE=Tokagero;41156696]Situation, replay, enemy ?[/QUOTE]
I gotta check it out myself if I bother, but it might have even been a bug. Or a hidden nerf, lol.
Can't imagine shit like Magic Missile missing when shot up hill, let alone Shuriken.

Agree with ya there. Theme of the hero is a big draw for me, for some reason. If I like the theme and VA of a hero I'm inclined to play them more frequently and do well with them.
I used to think that Husk/Shallow Grave was the biggest cheese of all time, but I never actually did it.
Anyone else's game crashing to desktop randomly? Two matches ago everyone on my team crashed (at different times) and we aren't sure why it happened. It happened for someone in my last game too and to me earlier today.

People with names/avatars like that are just bad trolls.
They are trying very hard to look like they are trolling someone when in actuality they are only trolling themselves.

Can't argue balance but I wish Naix just simply wasn't in the game. He's so annoying to play against.
So after a year of not playing, I decided to try and get back into this.
Dear god I remember nothing.
