Tips for playing Pub Breaker:
1. Take all of your fucks, and throw them out the window. You will not need to give any while playing him.
2. Always target stealth heroes, they have the most hilarious reactions.
3. When you start to charge type, "OH YEAH" into chat but do not send it. Only send it once you bust through their lane like the Kool Aid man. (Bonus points for having the Kool Aid man as an avatar)
4. You must say, "The rape train has no brakes" at least 3 times per match.
5. If your end game build is anything but six pairs of boots you did something wrong.

Haha. I was actually typing, "INCOMING CORN!" in chat when I did it.

What pains me the most, is that even if the enemy team is retarted as fuck, our team is just even dumber. I hate going solo.

It's only viable above their heads to the other team when you are close. Though the person you target has an icon where all their buffs/debuffs are.

They only have the debuff icon when you're within 1200 range, though, I think.

I have one friend with no access to his laptop, one friend who's too lazy to play, and one who loves to play but is often busy, so I only get to solo queue. It's whatever, though.

Can someone invite me to the group, please?

If anyone wants to play right now, add me on steam

Once player xp and levels are introduced, can we expect matchmaking with appropriately skilled players?

More likely just for fun, unlocks, bragging and slightly for matchmaking pool. Like intervals, below 100 get matched with below 100, etc.

This of course, has to be very flexible, as there are as likely to be players that played 1000 games and still don't know how to stack camps and first-game geniuses.

did anyone else got an 5.7 mb update on the dota 2 test?

Well I just had that very fun Omniknight game like 30 minutes ago.

Wards ? That's for gay dicks.

Officially cursed. 10 game losing streak now after the internet cuts out and our Ursa left the only two games that looked like we would probably win. Blah.

[Santz]

Damn, I had a game yesterday were everyones build was so retarded the game was actually balanced

[Olas]

My buddy and I usually go Skeleton King and Ursa to get Roshan at level 1. Other team usually freaks out and having the bonus gold + boost to level 3 makes ganking and getting first blood a piece of cake.

Too obvious, you should be getting 5 happy enemies closing you in from behind at Roshan's Pit right when he is about to drop.

Everyone team I've gone against has been too bad to notice, or only 1 or 2 come to check Rosh durring.

Except if you do it before the creeps spawn, they have no idea that your attacking him.

Oh god the related videos.

Also Omniknight. What late game items should I go for with him, the Scythe?

Once I have Soul ring and Arcane Boots my money mostly goes to wards.

Edited:

Also, do I play the game wrong?
With a few exceptions, I don't buy starting items for my champs. I usually buy components for my core items, Like Sage's Mask for Omniknight or Gloves of Haste for Sniper. If I have any money left over it goes to a courier or some regen items.

Edited:



Your fault.

Edit: If you had the most farm and your teammates were being difficult, buy the goddamn wards yourself. Don't whine and bitch about nobody else doing it.

the idea that i might get matched on the same team as you one day is horrifying

Dota 2 = the beta everyone keeps talking about and is mostly finished product that is going to be updated/fixed until Valve is satisfied with amount of content transported from Original mod and releases the game

Dota 2 Test = proving ground for fresh stuff to isolate most critical of the issues, bugs and errors. Gets patched first, feedback goes to Valve, they do magic, it goes on to the proper Dota 2. Limited servers for the time being, less populated.

Play a lot more defensively if you are new and learn how to have good map awareness and last hit during lane.

I don't really think that's a community issue. You feed, people will report you for it. Play some bot games if you're new.

Steam support is notoriously shit. Were you contacting them about losing your Dota 2? If so maybe posting on the dev forums would help. Or perhaps emailing the dota 2 team. http://www.valvesoftware.com/email.php

It is a community issue since you can't report someone for just feeding, only intentional feeding can be reported. The problem is the community regards any negative K/D/A player to be intentionally doing it.

Except there is report for intentional feeding (i.e. running into enemy in order to lose faster). There is no report for "feeding while learing how to play". And I am glad there is not.

And no, reports are not just "given". People actually do watch replays in order to check up on player's actual behaviour.

I am from League (very little of WC3 Dota and HoN 1 match)

346 hours so far in Dota 2 (just don't start bragging how you have 3 times more, I know you guys do.)

I pretty much started off League too, but he is saying a lot of other people who play League don't like dota 2, which I have seen a lot of people play like 1 dota 2 match then go back to playing LoL

[Belivo]

I played LoL for year and a half before I came into Dota.
LoL teached me the basic shit how the game works and other shit. But Dota is more challenging and rewarding compared to LoL, where there is a very solid meta which will not change in a long time. Dota's meta changes all the time from what I have experienced.
