*** Official Dota 2 Thread ***

Ive got you on my friends list Purdy. Im "Jive Turkey". Sometimes play with Gord. Im not usually TOO bad. Sometimes I play horrendous if Im thrown a character I dont know. But Im competent.

Ill hit you up for a game one night. Should be Online tomorrow evening.

Maybe we could arrange something for a set time and get a group together.

I played this morning with a great Natures Prophet player. He helped our team win massively. Harrassing/downing towers then Porting across the map had the enemy team allover the place.

Yeah I know I really should ask people when they are on, you guys go on mumble or skype?

Also you guys ever play captains mode? I sometimes get fed up with all the pubstomp picks in all pick which are kinda insta wins if they are remotely competent.

Also yeah think I like furion just a bit :p - https://dotabuff.com/players/57201495

What keybinds you use for items?

I'm on 1 2 3 4 5 Spacebar, usually panic items like shadowblade I'll put on 1/2/spacebar as it is pretty easy to hit, I certainly noticed I had better memory of using items when on more familiar binds and easy to hit ones.

For some reason Ive only ever had one Item on Space and then Ive clicked the rest. Thats bad so Im gonna change the binds now to match yours :)

I have a Logitech g510 keyboard I should set up properly
 
Spirit Breaker, Bounty Hunter, Nyx and Naga are my favourites currently with special mention going to Meepo. Trying to play games as morphling currently hes quite a fun character to play although can be quite a hard carry and I still haven't got to grips with his attack animation yet.
 
I've just started playing this after playing a bit of LoL and like it.

Not quite got my head round which hero to use, I plan on picking one and learning the game mechanics then experimenting with others.

I like Lich so far, is this a decent hero to learn with?
 
Good choice on Lich. Good use of his Ultimate can absolutely annihilate the enemy team.

Ursa is a decent starting character I think. I started out on Luna and I quite enjoy using her. She can farm gold ridiculously fast late game. Cuts through creepwaves in seconds.
 
Really getting into playing DOTA2, Lina, Huskar and queen of pain are my rotation. Huskar is very fun to play. still trying to get used to the items (used to playing LOL)

For some helpful insight to characters i am watching PurgeGamers on YouTube who is a very good DOTA player, he explains as he plays first hand so if you’re wanting to play a char i would advise checking his YouTube channel out.
 
Really getting into Dota2, didn't notice this thread!

After finally getting used to the game (still more to learn), I'm getting heavily used to Medusa, Clinkz and Slardar.

Medusa is just awesome if you farm the crap out of spawns mid game. awesome survivability as well, just have to watch classes like Pugna (who I also like playing as) and Anti mage.

anyone fancy a few games hit me up on steam (diabolic_killer)
 
Slardar is an awesome character although Ive never actually played him. Friends have played him and hes always a key player in the team.

Clinkz is a good fun character. Hes unreal for taking down towers. Very fast.

Sounds good, thanks. One thing I struggle with is knowing what to buy and when, trying to find a decent build I can have on my second monitor while playing to follow if you know any decent websites?
 
Dotafire is good.

With lich my buying order is..

Courier, 2xgauntlet of strength, tangos, branch.

Then urn of shadows, boots, power treads, mekanism

Then whatever I fancy, agas scepter or scythe of vyse.

And pop your ultimate only when it's gonna be most effective. When there are no creeps or non heroes to take bounces. It can be a good at any time in the fight to give your team an advantage. It's awesome against a pair of players out of lane. Build wise you want to concentrate on frost and sacrifice until they top out and then go for frost armor last. That's what I do anyway :-)

Pugna is awesome!

Decrepify then Drain Life, when you've maxed Drain life, pretty damn deadly!

Pugna's DL with a sceptre is a total blast.

Zero cooldown, massive range, lowish mana cost = totally awesome.

Having big tanky melee heroes initiate on you and then watching in vain as you health starts to go up even while they're hitting on you, and then realising that their health is going down even more quickly is just priceless.
 
If you really wanna pubstomp, just get good as lifestealer. Basically the most annoying hero that rips teams apart that don't team fight and work together properly.

I did have a game last night where we were in a good position but we had a broodmother who just farmed safe lane all game. In 40mins only managed to take down tier 1 and 2 towers and only had BKB, soulring and boots. Basically all teamfights were 4v5 and the brood was a complete mute and never left lane. FML.
