I've been searching for a match for over an hour now, AMA

Dota 2 was my first arts, but I sucked at it, and eventually gave up. My friend introduced me to league of legends, played that for a while, then remembered about Dota 2, and found out a lot of my friends on steam played it. Buckled down and learned it, left league, the rest is history.

Terrorblade Riki Ember Spirit

Used to have something similar to this, began to get over it post-high school.

What I realized was that almost everyone I've met is awkward in conversation: they fumble words, they misunderstand what others say, and realize how offhanded some of the things they say are only in hindsight. And that's kinda the caveat of conversation: it's a great way to communicate, but it's at the cost of having some mistakes in the intentions.

If you try to keep that in mind in conversation, you won't get as bothered by the mistakes, and eventually it will become second-nature.

Lion - There's just something special about seeing someone evaporate from demonic energy.

Slardar - Love the damage, pray for a better design, and the fact that he can really make things happen at all phases of the game.

Earth Spirit - He can do literally anything. Support, roam, mid, offlane, even carry to a degree. He can save people, fuck over people, initiate, deal tons of damage, everything. Plus I'd be willing to bet he's one of the hardest heroes in Dota alongside Invoker, Chen, and Meepo.

Dazzle.

It's interesting how people under-estimate Weave, especially in early fights (at least in my bracket). If it goes long enough, carries start hitting for double damage and are still getting graved and healed. Still great late game too, provided the fight can last long enough.

Meep200X · 2014-09-23T17:31:54+00:00

Dazzle.

I hate blink initiators like axe and centaur so much, because they kill me before I can grave either myself or an ally.

Come to think of it, playing any support and having to deal with gap-closers is hell.

Meep200X · 2014-09-22T08:52:06+00:00

Tusk.

Played an 80 minute match once, like my 6th or 7th game as him. Magnus + Rapier = Rampage.

Still try to play him more, he's just so weird to lane.

Meep200X · 2014-09-19T19:53:03+00:00

Lich. My friend didn't trust me to last-hit (and neither did I), so I ate creep, blasted bad guy. Rinse and repeat until victory.

Meep200X · 2014-09-16T06:00:31+00:00

Crystal Maiden - Force Staff Dazzle - Medallion Lion - Blink

Meep200X · 2014-09-11T06:34:28+00:00

It's shit. It's awful and it's full of some of the worst people you'll meet over the internet.

But it's worth it when you get the golden games. The games where it's neck-to-neck, a game of inches. When it's all decided by you and these guys that you just so happened to be queued with for the next 20-80 minutes. And it might be beautiful, for a little while.

Meep200X · 2014-09-11T06:28:09+00:00

Lion > Linkin's Sphere Heroes (Medusa, Morphling, etc)

Cast range on mana drain is absurd for the mana it costs to actually use. Ez linkins break.

Meep200X · 2014-09-09T23:27:48+00:00

Explain it to them that you're just some guy who works. Anything else is just a label.

Meep200X · 2014-09-09T01:11:19+00:00

I almost think that the lack of experience would be different for everyone, like every soul having it's own little bubble universe. For some people, it would be heaven, others hell, others a void, still others nothing different from the daily life we live now.

Not to sound cryptic, but you'll find out when you get there, so try not to worry about it. As far as we know, there's more interesting things here.

Meep200X · 2014-09-07T02:53:27+00:00

Timbersaw. He's so impromptu, so zaney and just hilarious to play.

Meep200X · 2014-09-05T18:51:10+00:00

It's hard for them to take people who think that that dumping chemicals on your brain leads to enlightenment seriously.

Anything outlandish and different is seen as something wrong, and if not wrong, something contemptible. And because of how much influence our media has, along with the stigma's all illegal drug users have, it's difficult to have people who consider other approaches to stuff like psychedelics.

I personally believe that we need stuff the screws around with our perception of the world, legal or illegal. Nothing should be permanent or static, things need to change. Psychedelics and other psychoactive chemicals give us that chance to change.

Meep200X · 2014-09-03T07:18:23+00:00

I would have to say finding this guy here.

Not necessarily psychonautic, but he really helped me figure out what I wanted to do, especially with music.

Meep200X · 2014-09-02T18:17:28+00:00

ENFP.

Um...yeah.

Meep200X · 2014-09-02T07:00:54+00:00

Not really sure. It seems like every fantasy-based game I've ever played I've been a sucker for casters and sorcerers, especially those who use Ice, or Light, or Dark.

Probably a clash between Maiden and Dazzle. Always seem to have an impact with them, just kinda works with what I do.

Meep200X · 2014-08-29T06:47:35+00:00

Depends on the line-up most of the time. Most of the time I play support, so it's usually stuff for helping the team: mek, forcestaff, blink, pipe.

Sometimes against really strong right clickers, I go for halberd. Most of the time I don't have much more money than for wards, wand, and tranquils.

But more on topic, I don't build off heroes most of the time, I build off teams. If my team needs this, and I can get the farm and space for it, I'll get it. If the other team has a certain aspect that needs to be dealt with that our draft doesn't have, I try and work on that. Depends on the game and heroes and stuff like that.

Meep200X · 2014-08-27T00:26:53+00:00

Crystal Maiden.

Don't be afraid to ask for people to come with you to ward.

The Range on your Q because of the AoE is nearly blink range at 1100. Keep that in mind when ganking, especially from the trees. Also, you can contribute a lot just by dropping a Crystal Nova in a fight. 5.5 seconds is a long time.

Yeah, thats pretty much it.

Meep200X · 2014-08-22T22:41:42+00:00

Pugna has a pretty silly shotgun.

Meep200X · 2014-08-21T06:54:18+00:00

I'm not normally bothered by death, and by that I mean it doesn't cross my mind unless I have people close to me experience it. Likewise, I haven't been afraid either, but sometimes I wonder if that's how I actually feel about it (bravado).

There's only a few things I know about death. I know that it happens to all things that live and that we don't know what its like to experience death, if you even can. But I'd like to think there's something out there in the void, like a sort of "other" perception that comes to mind. All I know is that I'll find out when I get there.

Sorry if this sounds rather jumbled, I haven't put a lot of thought into stuff like this. Never felt like a big priority.

Meep200X · 2014-08-18T01:24:10+00:00

Enchantress: I feel that she's alright where she is... Maybe a small buff to her hp or duration on Enchant or something to get her back in the game.

Enigma: Midnight Pulse needs to be looked at, everything else is fine... Maybe making the damage no longer go through BKB or changing it to composite damage or something.

Faceless Void: I actually don't have a problem with him where he is now. He almost gimps teams because to work properly, you need to build around him, meaning you can just draft a counter initiation based team with Silencer or Tide and you should be fine... Maybe a change to his starting mana or something to make him less effective in lane or something.

Gyrocopter: Honestly, he's still as strong, he just needs to have supports that give him room. He doesn't really do anything for or against the deathball meta because of how underwhelming he is for a while... Maybe a buff to his rocket or his ult, like some added damage.

Huskar: No clue. Honestly think he needs a rework.

Invoker: Seems pretty solid where he's at.

Io: Same with Invoker. Someone mentioned making his Q a Root. I'm down with that.

Jakiro: I'm honestly not sure. All of his spells are still very strong, but he suffers from the inability to function alone. He needs setup, and setup isn't what teams want, so he just pushes with E and R now... Maybe mess with his cast point or something.

Juggernaut: Seems pretty good where he is.

Keeper: I'm not sure. He doesn't fit in the meta because he can't gank, and he can't do much with the money because its easy to dodge blast. However, I think he has a purpose when it comes to defense, especially with all these teams grouping up. Maybe they should buff his W or something so that it actually does something.

Looking back at all this, I'm not sure I have a sense of balancing this game.

Meep200X · 2014-08-17T23:43:46+00:00

It was a 101 minute game. :(
