*** Official Dota 2 Thread ***

Wow, didn't realise there was a Dota 2 thread here.

I find that Luna does well against most characters that rely on illusions thanks to the bouncing gleaves thing (especially using Manta Style which triples the effect). I have wasted my ult on PL before though when I've come across one of his illusions on it's own :(
Just go with an AOE character if you see PL.

My current hate is for Troll and Drow, I can handle them both fine but if they get fed just 1 or 2 kills early game they spiral out of control and become unkillable. Played a game yesterday where our safe lane fed drow, who then carried the game for his whole team and ended up with 40 kills to about 6 deaths.
 
Eugh, we have 5 in a team now and we are doing OK, but we haven't done any team match making yet, purely because its Captain's Mode which takes like 20 bloody minutes to get started!!! :@

We only get time for 2-3 games in evenings, so captains mode would probs mean only 1-2!

Outworld Devourer or Medusa are also awesome for PL.

Outworld Devourers Q does huge extra damage to illusions and medusas ult just melts them.

Or earthshaker his ult causes shockwaves from all the illusions :)

This always happens with Drow, tried explaining it in another thread and I basically got told I don't play the game right and apparently it's easy to kill Drow lol. There's a reason you see someone go Drow 99% of pub games, because it's such an easy hero to play and is so powerful if it outlevels you by just 1-2 levels.
 
You can ban Drow from pubs too :p

Insta-pick her yourself (type "dr" to spin to her instantly), wait until the game is about to start then repick the hero you actually wanted :L

You made it out you lose every time she is picked and she is picked every game.

What bracket do you play in as a matter of interest as her and the other list of heroes definitely aren't picked every game I play in?

Also she is banned from captains mode due to a skill rework, this happens every time this is done. (This is not to say I don't agree with the notion she is not OP but if someone picks her or say a Riki for example and I'm not hard carry I'll go out of my way to **** on their game and let them achieve nothing. Infact she has a 56% win rate which is slightly high going by the data available to dotabuff but is hardly extraordinary.)

Medusa is a good idea. I have only played her once, and was pretty bad at it, but it might be worth spending some time playing her. I really hate Phantom Lance at the moment.

I usually play Single Draft or All Random, so the Drow thing is not too much of an issue, but I still see her now and again, and while it is not an instant win for the side that has drow, a few early kills and it is easy for it to spiral out of control.

Generally i would avoid Medusa as a counter to PL her ult has too slow of a cool down and PL can easily just spawn another army quickly, + Medusa requires far too much farm to become viable.

The best counter imo is keeping the game short or having a shadow demon, Just use disruption on PL or his illusions and you can have your own PL army.

You can keep on refreshing this by just locking the last illusion away and gaining 2 more as well.
 
If I see drow picked I call mid and go NS. Super fun and havnt lost to a drow in quite a while. Unless she gets fed of course but then I've lost to a lich with a skadi before.... Anyone can carry a game if they get fed.

Tell you who winds me up, TA :/ thank god she's fallen from away from being fotm lol.

Bingo, this is what I do when playing vs him. Other counters me and my friends run - magnus for RP/cleave plus something like void running maelstrom, the previously mentioned luna, team gank (nyx/batrider/more stun). All work decently well with co-ordination. Early ganking in lanes before he gets a diff really sets him back and forces a much slower buildup which you use to push towers to reduce his farm area etc etc...
