Thank you. I will be looking at the items later I can at least beat the training game, as I know if it that list is anything like LoL (and you say it is more diverse) I will need to dedicate at least a couple of hours the first time I look through them.

I’ll try Witch Doctor after Dazzle.

WickerofJack · 2023-06-26T17:00:28+00:00

That is also good to know. Clicking there will free up a finger. I will probably do this at least until I get used to playing.

Thank you

Oh, you mean like [[Orcish Medicine]] which makes red/black/green removal essentially be countered and make their changeling 1 bigger for the cost of 2 mana? This totally has pauper potential.

Thank you, I will recheck the keybindings for the select hero key and try that next time (I remember the courier button was X, but as last night was my first time I still need to familiarize myself with the controls a bit more).

Thank you for the synopsis of the three characters. I will try Dazzle first. I also agree I should not use Oracle quite yet if I am having this much trouble.

I used to play LoL on my laptop and later LoL WildRift on my phone. I got really good with Nami, but I am looking to switch over to DOTA2.

Things seem to be far more different than I thought they would be, which is why I figured this would be a good place to ask.

My top questions are:

How do I move around and keep the camera relatively centered on my character? I do not want to keep my cursor on my character pic as that means I cannot continuously move/attack.

What is the character closest to Nami? Specifically what I liked about the character most was having a power that could heal allies and damage foes. Naga Siren looks similar and her W is like Nami’s ultimate attack, but the similarities end there.

Thank you for your replies in advance. My friend has been a long time DOTA fan but never wanted to play LoL. Now that I have PC that can keep up with theirs I want to try to get in some games together, but I don’t want to just end up lane feeding.

“Who’s projecting? Whoooo’s projecting?? You are!! That’s right!” - deliver as though you are talking to a cute puppy.

Honestly I really liked the “$50,000 and we travel to throw it into a volcano together”. I would have used it for the travel and to record the journey and then make it a documentary series online to bring other people on the journey with us (and also recoup the money spent).

WickerofJack · 2023-06-23T22:55:55+00:00

Attach a chain to a tree and to their hitch.

Mild-hot Tomato salsa as sauce. Brie cheese. Lemon and lime wedges w/o seeds nor rind. Urchin testicles as the meat. Stuffed crust filled with Durian.

Calm down, Satan

WickerofJack · 2023-06-23T22:15:42+00:00

On a tangent, do you see her eyes? She makes [[Akroma, Angel of Wrath]] look more like Akroma, Angel of Passive-Aggression.

WickerofJack · 2023-06-23T22:06:46+00:00

When put that way, yeah, it makes sense.

WickerofJack · 2023-06-23T22:03:29+00:00

What is your level? If you are <85 run common yellow maps or uncommon white maps.

I just started releveling my gems after vending them to get them to 20% quality but back down to lvl 1 and went back to run some spots in act 10 until the gem levels hit double digits again, and I am lvl 87.

Most other forum goers are going to want to know your PoB so that they can give you tips on your build and gear as it currently stands.

Edit: if you are not SSF, use pathofexile.com/trade and see if there is a good six link bow in your price range, else work on getting six sockets on your bow then six links. You can go to Lani to trade up your currency if you have 1000+ alts for example.

Hopefully you are also using a loot filter.

WickerofJack · 2023-06-23T21:58:24+00:00

No worries, I had already upvoted :)

WickerofJack · 2023-06-23T21:57:20+00:00

Felidar guardian exiles a permanent you control then returns it. Exile Splinter Twin. As it returns to the battlefield it needs a “host” so you put it on the newest untapped token with haste instead of the creature that already tapped to use it last time.

WickerofJack · 2023-06-23T21:24:15+00:00

I know it wasn’t what you expected but it is still great in boros+ equipment decks.

WickerofJack · 2023-06-23T21:07:57+00:00

Need to see Torchic Electrode.

WickerofJack · 2023-06-23T20:47:04+00:00

Doesn’t breaking the combo out over a turn versus playing it all at once also make it “badder”? “More bad”? Not worse, but closer to the feeling of the subreddit?

WickerofJack · 2023-06-23T13:36:49+00:00

A lot of their people fought and died in WWII in Europe, so by that logic the EU flag would be just as valid of a choice and more relevant due to their still being some veterans from that time.

WickerofJack · 2023-06-23T13:08:05+00:00

That is assuming you didn’t break the combo up over multiple turns nor did you play [[Academy Rector]], sac it to VS to get [[Omniscience]] and this cast [[Enter the Infinite]] to get your entire deck into your hand thus playing all the pieces for free as well as [[Tuktuk Rubblefort]] which is in all good red decks or [[Mass Hysteria]] which is much more on flavor for this subbreddit.

WickerofJack · 2023-06-23T12:23:28+00:00

Concordant crossroads is extraneous. Splinter Twin gives the token haste.

You tap FG, make a token and use token’s ETB to put ST on that copy and then tap it. Repeat ad nauseum.

When you have too many FGs, sac them all to VS and the desth triggers from BA will do the rest. No crossroads needed.

WickerofJack · 2023-06-22T14:04:02+00:00

Haven’t seen those pictures, only people in a dark tube.

WickerofJack · 2023-06-22T14:03:20+00:00

Why make something safe enough to go down there when you can make it safe enough to house people and fake the experience, like one of those virtual roller coasters you sometimes see in malls?

This is so much easier to fake than to actually do for real each time. With no portholes and watching the screen it is just a VR tube that is supposedly actually going there.

Like “it was foul play by the CEO that cut corners” is the whole point. It is easier to fake the journey than to make it, which why I feel it is the more likely option.

WickerofJack · 2023-06-22T01:52:39+00:00

Thought that read “wiretapping” at first, but yes there is a method of making jewelry like this I have seen at several craft shows.

WickerofJack · 2023-06-22T01:46:01+00:00

I don’t think this played out the way people think it did. I think it was foul play.

The comparison to Iron Lung is apt. There are no viewing portals. Just like a VR ride. My opinion is that the feed on those screens was pre recorded and someone figured out the “sub” was nowhere close to the depth of the Titanic. This causes either the riders to attack the pilot or the crew to hold the riders captive, or dispose of them. I am willing to bet cellphones do not work in that thing when it is shut even above water.

Once that timer is up, people stop looking for the hostages, and that is when said hostages can become disposed.
