I swear, this game is against me. Just had another game, had a good team and the enemy had a good feeder. We still lost somehow.
I dare you, group up four of the best Dota players of all time with me and toss us against some random pubbers, I guarantee we will lose!

[Eonart]

Playing new heroes without a guide is fun.

Everything is a little shaky at the beginning of the game, but eventually I make use of the hero's potential and take back the game.

How do you set control groups? Isn't it usually ctrl+ a number? Thats how I did it for starcraft but it doesn't work for dota.

Check your settings, because that's how it should work.

I played Bounty Hunter, and I started to build a vlads but I only noticed Ursa already made one right before I was going to buy the recipe.

I used the components to make a Pipe, an Urn, and a Mask of Madness. vv

Weirdest Gondar build ever.

actually getting a vlads is just as bad

why would a bh get a vlads
this is a legit question

What the pub mindset is build vlads on every melee carry.
But I think that most people think the crit+lifesteal would help. It's a waste to make vlads on bh tbh. A Medallion goes so much further to help kills.

Yeah, and with the sheer number of Dota maps there are, I'm sure it would be appreciated by the community.

@Rats: I'm sure it won't be valve-only servers forever. It was the same way with CS:GO until the last patch (before this most recent one.)

False, CS:GO has had local servers since beta released.

Well, you might be able to host your own server, but I don't know if there will ever be any support from Valve to do so.

Ninja'd my automerge.

They said LAN support will be implemented before release.

I already had a Medaillon and I'm a bad Gondar so yeah.

Medallion is good, Vlad's is not.
I get a Battlefury and a Desolator.

Manta/Diffusal and you can deplete full mana in a matter of seconds against anyone. Actually, I remember getting all my copies and just sending them to harrass and deplete the enemies mana or eventually killing with them. 11 copies from Yuxtapose and Spells + 2 from manta AND yourself, a true horror.

me (pudge): vengeful what are you doing in mid
vengeful spirit: you suck so Im taking over

a few minutes after that, I was 2/0/2 and she was 1/4/1
oh how I love this game's community

[Rats808]

Game I had earlier: 2 of them insta-lock hard carries(Morph and Drow), I say not to pick any more carries, then go Witch Doctor so we have a support. At first I don't expect us to get any initiation, but then one of them gets Tiny, then the other goes Axe.

Morph doesn't say a single word all game, but he's decent at laning and we get 2 kills early on(one of them first blood), so I don't complain. By 10 minutes, top(Tiny and Axe) and mid(Drow) have pushed the towers down, but mostly because their lanes kept coming to gank bot, and it's pretty much 24/7 4 bot with no help from the other lanes even when I ping and ask for help.

We eventually get up by about 10 in kills, and take their mid and bot inner towers, but then things just turn to shit. They stop pushing, Axe, Tiny, and Morph keep randomly deciding they want to farm or try to 1v1 an enemy hero and splitting off from the rest of us only to die in a 5v1, they all constantly focus Brewmaster when their Riki is doing a fuckton more damage and we have gem/wards, and eventually we start losing. Thankfully, Morph left and we managed to hold out for 5 minutes so it would be safe to leave, and I left asap. IDK if they finished the game or not, I closed dota right after I left.

I hate the teams I keep getting.

[OutOfExile2]

Finally broke my losing streak by playing Warlock for the first time. Being level 8 and seeing the enemy sniper at level 4 is such a great feeling. Also helps that they fed our BS really hard.

It's actually a legitimate build, not the best, but it works.

I am so bad at this game.
So bad.

Lifestealer is just too easy.

Hi guys I'm pudge and I like my life stolen.

[OutOfExile2]

It's even better when Pudge specifically hooks you
Repeatedly.

[Gripen2]

Man i love Witch Doctor.

I went with tiny and we made more than half of the total kills together,

god hook+rot is the most annoying thing playing a hero w/o any escape mechs (drow)

that's funny because finol had nothing to do with dota until valve started working on dota 2.

You can just shoot him with frost then silence him, get out of his rot then run or kill him.

No, it keeps it on.

It keeps it on but your frost should be slow him enough to get you out of there
