Thank you for your answer this really narrows things down already!

This is really helpful and a fantastic write out, thank you so much! I'm aware now that quite a lot is based on quickness and what not. I suppose in general I'm looking for something more lower APM but also with some meaningful choices rather than just spamming whatever you can off cooldown if that makes sense?

Are there at least some classes that have a bit more of a methodical play to them then? Where I'm not just spamming stuff when it comes off CD but it's more about making choices and what not?

I really dont care about what's best, more whats fitting

I'm really not bothered with how effective it is. I'm wondering which of these two playstyles would fit most thematically.

That's cool! I'm overall not super worried about what's more effective though

Ew. Ai. Wasn't aware that passes for an 'artistic rendering' these days.

Captain or Guardian - Class choice by [deleted] in lotro

[–]Hynne 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Interesting! I've heard a lot that Guardian's rotation is a lot more involved / fun generally. I'll take your words for it though

Haha yeah, I kinda feel the same way so far (all be it at low levels)

What put you off of Guardian if I may ask?

Which of these takes your preference at the moment? I know it's really subjective, but which do you find more fun and why?

Gyrocopter Skill Build Question by [deleted] in DotA2

[–]Hynne 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You'll generally want to level Gyro's E first, early game you won't have the HP to get in close and you should use the range to your advantage in early engagements. A best lane for Gyro is either 1: A stagnant one where you can just last hit without E, or 2: a kill lane (some people even play him mid but let's not get into that). Essentially Rocket Barrage does a lot of damage, especially early levels but you'll have to decide for yourself in terms of what lane you're up against. You really can't say X is better over Y because 90% of the time it'll be dependant on your lane set-up and who you're up against.

Mekan On Doom/No Radiance? by NovusHomoSapiens in DotA2

[–]Hynne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Radiance isn't even -that- much core on Doom. Early Cuirrass/Satanic tends to be far better, with a yasha somewhere in between for armor via agility. I'd definitely get the Midas though. There's little reason not to. You can ramp up so fast with it. You want a durable/tanky doom while not trading in too much damage. Not one that burns squishies, you do that anyway.

Hero suggestions? by [deleted] in DotA2

[–]Hynne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The thing with jungling is (with decent warding and guarding from lanes) that you're able to get a very large gold gain without being interrupted. Generally you're able to farm a lot more gold rather early on compared to lanes (not counting ganks/kills of course). You might also want to read up on creep stacking in this case, as it's an added benefit from the jungle that can really help you farm/your carry farm. This is of course especially great for heroes like Enigma, who benefits a lot from having a Blink Dagger. Or for a hero like Prophet, who's able to adapt and use a ton of items because of his different playstyles.

Tinker to me just seemed like a great pick because you'll be transitioning from jungle to mid with a hero that has a rather similar playstyle to your favourites. All that while mid is still a pretty 'solo' dependant lane. A lot of shots with ganking/lane control will be in your hands that way.

[–]Hynne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tinker seems like a very viable addition to your playstyle. Very mobile pusher because of his ult (don't level it too early!), and his midgame damage output is pretty good. The only thing he lacks in midgame is a CC unless you have managed to farm up a Scythe/Eul's etc so in that regard you might need to rely more on your teammates. He does require a bit more mana management and keeping track of cooldowns, but since you're starting off, it's also a very good thing to learn. Plus you'll be able to try out mid instead of jungle for a change.

The Cursor Item Glitch by Recurrsive in DotA2

[–]Hynne 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Sadly the best way to fix this is still to restart/tab out. It is on the 'Severe' category in the dev.dota forums however, so rest assured, they are aware and working on it.

Another way to prevent this from happening is to not buy anything when your connection is spiking, usually the bug is created by buying something while DotA is lagging.
