*** Official Dota 2 Thread ***

Game two was kind of my bad, should have got some smoke for my roaming ganks although I was involved in 16 out of our 17 kills by the end but I gave away some easy ones before night time.

I agree random draft is crap, mainly due to the fact 15 of the heroes were boring as **** last night in both games really. Think least played would be good.

Why would you guys play any another other mode other than captain mode if it's in-house?Or was it just a stack of 5 vs randoms

Last time we played captains one team went complete try hard whilst the other didn't, albeit the one who didn't still managed to win it was a bit silly. I'd play it but a few others seem to dislike it and all pick due to the picks some people do
 
Hi guys, well I have managed to play some games vs human opposition over the last couple of days.

Was quite nice getting a little helping hand from my younger cousin but unfortunately he is trying to get me to play LoL instead because apparently Dota is to slow and he rages that the team cannot forfeit.

I have enjoyed everything so far, even when I do get beat as I am learning every match.

It's way more fun playing with my cousin on TS but if he isn't going to play much any more, is there anyone on here still playing with low levels like myself that I can team up in the evening?

Gonna be free CAI this weekend and there is the bank holiday too so I will play with you.As for LoL it allows players to forfeit as you cannot make a comeback if you lose early game,where as in Dota 2 I have seen team leading with +20k gold and end up losing a match.There are so many strategies that allow you to make a comeback that are not in LoL like errm Buyback(when die you can buy ur way back into the match) so you don't just sit in base watching your base get destroyed....

And Purdy from my understand if go try hard picks in CM you get counter picked and end up losing early game.What kind picks would you say is "try hard" anyways?

I don't mind what gametype gets played but AP/CM are really the only balanced types, the flaws in the other game types are fairly big.

Murray a lot of your past games feature lineups that are really heavy on level requirements (eg bounty needs 6 then he can ditch his lane or OD who needs W&E asap) or gold heavy (most carries), I don't think there's enough gold/xp available in lanes for some of the lineups you were in unfortunately :( You seem to play a pretty good furion, assuming this is jungle you might want to check out the doom build I did last night as in beats the crap out of a lot of pubstars (OD/AM/QoP/Weaver/Puck) and you can midas in under 7 minutes if you get the right creep passives through your q. You don't even have to rely on your team mates and by 10 minutes you can clear out most camps each cycle.

Turbo edit:

Tryharding in a nutshell -
offensive tri-laning with doublestun&carry OR
defensive counter-attacker & stunner & farmer carry

One mid - can only pick from:
puck/QoP (gank team)
Magnus (lategame carry team)

One offlaner:
Darkseer farming behind their tower
Furion/LoneDruid with micro
weaver/bounty or something else invis

getting counter picked assumes we would have the co-ordination to pull off a counter strat (eg pushing vs team late game carry), not sure the newer guys would be up for this. I would like to see new guy CM though, but only if no one helps them pick ;)

Kinda, theres lots of different ways to be try hard, as listed above by Myrsha, I don't mind trilanes and stuff so much as I find them fun, but when you got one team just picking a TI3 lineup and the other with Pugna or something its a little annoying.

Also I hate all pick as people just wait until as late as possible to try and counter pick.
 
It was the Dolfrat & Roshinante shirt, did want the kunkka one but it sold out. Fed ex international one, there were only 2 options and one was 30 dolla :O
 
Had a game last night with Aedus and some others in a 5 stack, we gave CM a whirl and surprisingly it was rather fun probably because we won but i thoroughly enjoyed it, its certainly adds a different aspect to dota instead of doing the other modes also means you can ban out no fun heroes like PL.

It's something I probably would only try again with a 5 stack far too much hassle with random people.

I think for the in house games we could try something like reverse captains mode, It could potentially lead to some hilarious games :D .
