I'm actually starting to feel bad.
I've now won 9 (unranked) matches in a row and in only 4 of them I managed to at least equal kills to deaths. In the others I had some really bad results (considering we won).

I quite often suffer in the laning phase by having unhelpful laning partners that seem content to watch the enemy farm and deny. Because I try to get last hits and harass the enemy without help I tend to get myself into bad positions. I then reverse snowball for the laning phase and have to try to recover in the mid and late game. By which point I'm often a target for the enemy team when ganking or initiating.
 
I've been playing Pudge tonight.
First game I went 13/5/21 (or something like that) and we won, but the game didn't count because of poor network conditions.
Next game went 7/8/12.

But considering my normal performance on Pudge that was still pretty good. Plus we won. 10 in a row now.
 
Got FV first try, went 9/4/12, wasn't the best but had a decent game with him and pretty happy all told :)

Tinker up next, who I think I have only played once, then Mirana who I have only played once :p seem to be in a patch of heroes I dislike or don't play.
 
Woooo Tinker second try, first game I was horrible having never really played the hero, second game knowing what expeted just kept them pinned in and caused them loads of grief diving about the map :) was actually a lot of fun. Went 6/1/9 but didn't really need to get involved, let the team keep them occupied whilst I pushed and took lanes, worked really well.

Hopefully Mirana game will be as smooth :p
 
So it looks like I rolled Meepo as my next all hero challenge, one of the few heroes I haven't played, looks like this might be a difficult one.

Anybody got any tips for a meepo noob?
 
Meepo is good when you get going, I would just recomend lane until you get your 2nd/3rd Meepo then just jungle until you snowball. Best bet I always find especially if you struggle micro managing is to go with 1 meepo then when you find someone net them and have the rest portal down for insane *poof* damage.

Also easy to solo rosh if you know what you are doing through base porting, good hero but hard to master.

edit: and remember to use tab to yle between Meepo's for faster teleport attack.
 
Treant Protector next, can play him as a good support but im always tempted to go TP carry build. It's a ***** to farm up to but with his base stats you murder everyone insanely fast.

Probably just play it safe and support :p

Not really, buy a gem :p

I've been begging for the 'mines get gold and mines can be destroyed without killing you' changes for ages. This makes techies fine imo. Lesh changes are pretty harsh I think, I thought lina would get a stronger nerf tbh. Nobody looks stand out strong this patch. Support side a number of nerfs leaves Dazzle as one of the stronger supports imo. We might see more venge after the nerf to medallion/solar crest as well.
 
Yeah the destroy no damage is good as is the gold reward but the thought of what techies can do to a map with no mine cap is pretty scary :p

I think the Lesh changes are about due, he's a bit OP at the mo (though a BKB renders him thereabouts useless) I found the Lich changes interesting and whilst I'm no Oracle expert his changes look to make him a bit more viable as a full time healer.

Another interesting change is the Siege Creeps. Does that mean they can also be controlled by Helm/Chen/Enchant? Just have visions of rat Chen appearing out of the jungle with a fleet of siege engines and melting towers for fun :D

Interesting stuff, will be playing OM first though :D
