DotA 2: 6.83 patch, The International 5 on the way!

[Turazrok]

Lich so good, but invoker so fun

 

[PantyRaider08]

How do you go 0-19 with lich? That's possible?

I just clown stomped some noob team with Night Stalker...

 

[Ignatius]

Do you go Euls on NS?

 

[PantyRaider08]

Nope, went urn, bottle, stick, treads, armlet, bkb

I've never tried euls with him. How is it? Disable and ms seems good.

 

[Sinz]

I love Euls on him. It's extremely good for him. Gives him more time to q again. The extra movespeed helps him move at max ms (almost) and the mana regen is awesome :D

 

[Miharu]

feels pretty useless for how much it costs

rather pay a bit less for jango

500 more for bkb

1.5k more for aghs

1.3k more for orchids

or just save up more for big game breakers like ac/heart/hex even

hell even force is more useful

 

[Vyke]

Orchids seems like overkill. I thought the point of Euls of Balanar was the CC it brought that's an actual hard disable, not to mention Movespeed to keep up.

 

[Miharu]

if you need ms jango is better

but yeah orchids is a bit of overkill both in terms of mana and the extra silence

cyclone isn't even a "true" disable

i just heavily dislike euls as an item in general, and would actually much rather get any of the aforementioned items instead of it on most heros

basher and heaven's halberd aren't bad choices either

o yea and if you want a disable just get hex

 

[Cups]

still waiting on a beta key just watching like 100 pro replays/streams a week until i get my fix. On the bright side the 3 new dota 1 heroes are fun to play.

 

[Miharu]

don't worry about it, you're not missing out on too much

 

[fkacyan]

don't worry about it, you're not missing out on too much

what do you mean hes missing out on the full team leaves you get in the first five minutes! missing those will ruin his dota2 experience.

 

[PantyRaider08]

Only bad thing I have to say about Dota2 is the voice acting and some artwork.

 

[Ignatius]

You crazy, voice work is amazing.

 

[Miharu]

You crazy, voice work is amazing.

Yeah, most of the voicing is done very, very well.

Axe has the BEST voice set.

 

[Vyke]

Yeah, Dota only has like 3 characters that make awful puns about their movesets. And one of them is amazing and tactful.

Axe brings the Axe.

 

[Frolossus]

was carrying a game so ****ing hard with nevermore till the enemy clinkz bd'd our nexus :/

 

[Miharu]

sf is such a bad hero

one of my favorites to play but he's so useless

 

[Sinz]

What.....

SF is amazingggggg.

Or at least was. Smoke kind of ruined him

 

[Miharu]

What.....

He's fun/rewarding to play, that's for sure.

But he basically loses terribly to any of the viable solo mid heroes, gets crushed by any semi-viable dual/tri lane, and he's one of the easiest heroes to shut down in the game.

Yaphets is a god.

 

[Sinz]

If anyone is looking for a betakey still post really good constructive criticism on this match for the commentators.

I have some friends still looking for keys, thanks m8.

On a game-related note, why are people so terrible against stealth characters? Its like the very act of playing Clinkz / Riki / BH gaurantees you at least 3 kills early.

 

[Miharu]

Dust is too hard to buy.

 

[Mic_128]

Got a key last night, played 2 games as 2 of my often used DotA 1 classes, prophet and sb. Other than a minor complaint about wrath being a bit hard to see (though got a great double kill on the 2 people chasing me with it by aiming it at a different lane) it's good fun. Bye DotA 1!

 

[Sinz]

Whats your streammmmmmmmmmm mic

 

[Mic_128]

Mic .

 

[DJRome]

On a side note, I am playing in the beta under the username "Dax"

 

[Gifts]

I got my beta key about a week ago. I am enjoying Dota2 a ton.

 

[Ignatius]

Again, if anyone wants to be listed in the first page with their steam ID so people can easily find you, all you need to do is post a formatted link with your smashboards name to your steam page and I'll stick it there.

I know we have more than 3 people that play.

I absolutely love the placeholder icons.

 

[Sinz]

The placeholders for Brewmaster are pretty fun.

 

[Mota]

Hahaha funny people at Valve.

Where can I see all the placeholders?

 

[Miharu]

I absolutely love the placeholder icons.

Pretty good one.

Has anyone played OD yet? Hero looked so smooth when I played in a game with it today.
