I keep having the most terrible games as Alchemist. Occasionally I can do amazingly if I can manage to get my last hitting right, but otherwise I just end up so terribly.

KotL is currently my favourite hero to play, grab a veil of discord, hit your ulti and throw down the veil before your illuminate finishes channeling and you do insane damage :D

Alc is pretty useless unless you can rice pretty well at the start of the game, so yeah if you're last hitting is off it can be pretty awful.

Yeah all the LoL people going to rushing in oh dear :(

Doubt that, too much money and time invested in their skins and unlocks, it'll slowly grow. Can stay the same size for all I care, already massive, most interesting esport going atm (bar SC2 arguably) and will be backed to the hilt by Valve

I've heard things and seen a few videos on youtube about abaddon being released, but my client doesn't have it yet. are they staggering the update because of release or something?

They usually (9/10) release a test client on a Wednesday night/Thu morning, patch doesn't go live on proper client until Thu night/Fri morning. Always on the test client for at least a day
 
It'd help keep the people who have attachment to their progress and can't just play games for fun these days, wouldn't bother me, I'd like more stats present to view though :)
 
Or you can go to the 'watch' tab in dota, sort by skill and search your name in each one and your most recent replays will show what bracket you are actually in :p
 
There is an ocuk guild.

Me, Bung, Clearly, Jive Turkey(Hedge on here I think?), NigelWDS, Paj, tom113, tune can all give you an invite, just add me if you ain't got any of the others and I'll get you in in

Invited you Vtec9k, didn't realise you were ocuk on my friends :p


EDIT: If you're just starting, try playing with Murray/Anuraj from here, they are both relatively new and learning so might be good to join with them, they play with a few others also

Me = Happy lol

To think people pay that much for a courier

Good investment for some people, not so much that one, I've got two couriers that have increased by ~500% and 250% since I got them. (To be fair I'm a sad **** and bought them because I liked them but whatever :D)

Grats on getting 45 keys, didn't think it'd be worth that much :D

Started playing this last night, went through the first few parts of the tutorial and Purdy gave me a nice starting points with various guides to follow (thank you) so hopefully I'll be ready to get online in a few days after I have a better understanding of the game and feel comfortable. Guys is there a better way of moving around other than clicking with mouse2? The reason I ask is because when playing the ranged character tutorial I found myself clicking off the enemy slightly and starting to run toward them so I got myself into trouble a bit.

Unfortunately not, clicking is the only method of movement, you could probably switch left+right click if it mattered to you but in time you'll get used to it and see any other way would be a lot worse imo :p

Also guys think there are 10 days left to fill out the rest of your compendium, don't think the predictions do anything but will be fun to see the results :D

Yeah I have played Diablo games in the past so I'm used to the movement by clicking and I appreciate it's functionality but I always played melee type characters in those games so getting close was always the objective anyway so when I had to play a ranged character in the DotA2 tutorial it kind of threw me off a bit.



I didn't know about S stopping your movement, this will help a lot thanks =)

You might need to rebind it from H but Hold is better than Stop imo. Hold will make your character stop and not autoattack, or maybe there isn't autoattack in this and it was HoN I had to do that, I can't remember :p.

(Stop in HoN atleast just stopped the hero moving but then would continue to autoattack)
 
Really looking forward to the games tonight, probably be a few of us on RC watching if people want to come on, might do a quick game during down time also.
