I just went crazy and bought a key..

got..

A Mythical "Unusual Trusty Mountain Yak" with effect : Resonant Energy.

What you reckon thats worth :)

From a quick google I see offers of 20-23 keys. So about $45 I think (haven't really looked at price of keys these days but I think they are floating 2.1 dollars)

Nice luck getting that first key, unusual Yak was my first too.
 
Basically you have two options

Sell it for keys or cash.

Keys you usually get a better deal due to the fact you'd have to actually sell them to make real money. Cash you can still get a pretty good deal and most of the money.

Problems with real money, you'll want to use a middle man who you would trade the item to and would hold it until you receive payment, there are many trusted middlemen that can be found on sourceop/dota2traders. The only other issue is they can chargeback using paypal, you want to ask for them to put in the message of the gift payment 'This is the payment for a good that has been collected and no charge back can be requested' or something to that effect, paypal can still chargeback but I've never had a problem with it.

As for stranges they can sell for a key or two as well, go into the trade chat in the client, check out reddit.com/r/dota2trade and dota2traders.com for price guides and if you are looking to sell.

If you don't need the money keep it, it is quite a nice courier and always nice to have unboxed your own. :p
 
Sweet jesus nerf Dendi lmao. Chinese might have technically better players at mid heroes like ferrari but god they don't have a patch on Dendi's entertainment.

I semi burnt this out a few months ago, need to get back into it. Will add some of you guys. Are people mainly using in-game comms?
Click to expand...

I'd use Skype/Raidcall depending on how many I'm playing with.

Raidcall surprisingly good for being totally free.
 
Support/Gank - Lich/vengeful spirit/lion/crystal maiden/bane

Initiator/Tanks/Gankers - Tidehunter/Windrunner

Easier carrys are probably Ursa/Juggernaut/Lycan.

Just check out quick guides on any of them, none are overly complicated.

Cheers Kamwah, i think i have your Skype so i'll message you for a game sometime soon.

Just playing co-op vs bots but enjoying lion, decent stun, a big DD and lolfrog although the mana leach is a little pointless.

Mana leech is very good, remember you can use it on a ranged creep and it'll give you mana back, great for getting mana back to harass the lane you are in.

If you don't understand why item x is suggested feel free to ask here. The shop "suggested" items are just to get you going really, think of it as training items that will do well whatever your build is but going offtrack to counter a specific lineup is perfectly fine too.

A good example I guess is that force staff is virtually never in the suggested items for supports/disablers (assuming you're doing fine with buying wards) but if you're having a great game with excess gold it is godlike for positioning and a great pickup after a Mek. Likewise, a ghost scepter counters heavy melee lineups from jumping you, a Euls interupts any channel or gets rid of that pesky void when he uses chronosphere, you get the idea.

Indeed, force staff probably one of the best items in the game tbh.
 
Just played my personally most tense game ever, AM starts bming me because I played bad (awful) as furion first 20mins, no ports working, getting caught. He gets a 25-30min rax on us, kills all our shrine towers. We pull it back, christ that felt so ****ing good. (Obviously bm'd back when we won like there was no tomorrow)

mother of god, get me on the list who plays on OCUK :) , got a great little community flowing on my mumble, we pretty much play religiously every night, got nearly 2 full teams, so if anyone is wanting to learn/play hit me up on steam.

I'll get you on it next Tuesday on holiday atm and it is pretty hard editing big post on phone, definitely love to join in on some in-houses if you guys do them

anyone got an invite to give?
Click to expand...

I've got about 7 invites to do in a giveaway on here soon which I'll get done when I'm back from holiday.

I'll try and organise an OcUK inhouse soon after I'm back but Halo 4 is out the same day so could be a bit after

I wish Steam did a deal where you could buy a few keys at once cause I have a few friends who I think would be interested aswell, shame. Thanks nex, I'll probably buy the early access sometime this weekend. If there are any kind souls out there though that have a spare key wasting away please feel free to trust me =P
Click to expand...

I'm doing a giveaway of 7 keys soon but since you have specifically requested I'll send you it when home.

I really need to update OP with latest patch notes and content analysis and get the in house on the go, just been too busy with Halo 4 etc
