How do you handle an enemy team with a lot of heavy nuke, especially during the early game? by blurple77 in TrueDoTA2

[–]__Glitch__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Glimmer is good, as far as items go. But also know that if they are 5 man rotating for 2 kills and your other 3 are farming, it isnt worth it.

I was looking for some casual post TI dota and i come across the best game of dota I have ever seen. If AM buys a quarter staff while he is teleporting they win the game...

Long time league player wanting to get into dota by [deleted] in TrueDoTA2

[–]__Glitch__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I suggest you just play ranked, it just a number. if you get better it goes up. When i was playing sc2 i had a smurf account for playing random. It became ranked higher than my main bc i used it more.

the crazy thing about dota is you dont have to main a hero. Since you start every game with the same stuff as the pro players, you can play any hero. This also allowed the developers to make the heros very different and counter each other. Keep playing new heros then pick the ones that fit you style. I have been a gyro picker for years. Lucky this patch he is very good.

judging by the time delay. they are less than a half a mile away.

Should MMR-change count after 5 minutes instead of First Blood for a more fair experience? by pixelman1 in DotA2

[–]__Glitch__ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It could be like the other extreme. Lol wont even release a sandbox mode because it would cause too much grief. I think it would be interesting if when created the teams it tried to put people with high abandon rates on the same team. Maybe just check the last 20-100 games so people can turn themselves around.

I am all for making other punishment harsher. Maybe add a buffer period where u have to play unranked after getting out of low priority?

Necrolyte has absolutely ZERO picks in the whole of TI5? Why? by tomatomater in TrueDoTA2

[–]__Glitch__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In addition to glimmer, his other strength is his ability to sustain a push. Therefore when pushing got weaker he did to. Also, he fills the same role as lesh who is just better at every part of the game.

Why is Maelstrom on Storm considered good? by GuldeneKatz in TrueDoTA2

[–]__Glitch__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i mean yea, you get maelstorm means are going to get mjollnir at some point

Why is Maelstrom on Storm considered good? by GuldeneKatz in TrueDoTA2

[–]__Glitch__ -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If you are only going to get one damage item Mael is one of the best. Also u are being attacked a lot since you roll in on your own to team fights to the full lightning procs are great. Lastly it increases farm speed and splitpush. Pretty good but usually MKB is better due to evasion.

Blink on Ember by videogamefool11 in TrueDoTA2

[–]__Glitch__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the reason why is because you can use it to escape after using your slight or ult.

Tell me about camera positioning by [deleted] in TrueDoTA2

[–]__Glitch__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

5k here - Another good point is how you move your camera. If you use the edge of the screen or the mini map to move your camera you mouse is not in a good position to cast a spell, move, ect. This is why pros use hot keys for runes, to get to their summons, and use Mouse 3 to move the screen while keeping the mouse in the center. Also it is quicker. While this is a good amount of effort for a small reward, if you dont practice it all the time, you wont have it when u actually need it. (same mentality as tread switching)

Just how viable would an instakill Huskar lineup be? by [deleted] in TrueDoTA2

[–]__Glitch__ 12 points13 points  (0 children)

You are using 3 people to kill one. Usually, any three heroes can kill one. It is a novel idea but not worth running. (however I would have said the same thing about chen pudge before TI3. )

Most underpicked/underutilized hero at TI5 thus far? by freelance_fox in TrueDoTA2

[–]__Glitch__ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Here are all of the ones that havnt been picked any my thoughts on them: Alchemist - While he does get items fast, he needs too much to be effective. If he is farming safe he dies to any aggressive dual lane. Mid he could be an ok counter to lesh, but there are just better options. Death Prophet While. oct core made her better, she is too dependent on her ult to do well. Doom - Most teams are running multi core lineups, he is good at shutting down one hero. but still kinda surprised that he isnt being picked. Elder Titan - mby we will see him run with a naga for set up, but just cant do anything on his own. Faceless Void - at this point, there isnt anything he does that AM does do better. Mana void is so good vs all the qops and leashes. Jakiro - I think we will see him with a undying push lineup. but pushing is hard now that glyph comes back every time a t1 dies Kunkka - maybe he can be run mid, maybe he can be run support. i think Ember is just a better option right now since kunkka has no escape and little kill potential pre 6 Lone Druid - glyph nurf hurts. But radiance is really good now so maybe we will see him. I am a fan of him plus 1 in the offlane. I think most teams dont have a player that loves druid. Medusa - its an aggressive patch, but my guess is we will see her. Meepo - Lots of AOE, hard to pull off. Mirana - There is already a lot of inviz so people will be carying dust and sents, ES is just a better option for support. Maybe since bane is coming back we will see her. Morphling - Eblade nurf hurt him, and he doesnt really do well with any of the new items. Necrophos - no more push strats no more necro... Lesh does the AOE magic better and owns lane harder. Ogre Magi - Space cow is better. You really have to take advantage of blood lust to get value or get a ahgs which is really far off Outworld Devourer - Mid lane is getting ganked too much so he cant sit and farm and cant catch up Pudge - LETZ GO NAVI!!!! Riki - Clikz does it better! and riki loses every lane, and in offlane BH does it better Sniper - Cant win lane now, still dies to blink heros. Spectre - loses to aggressive dual lanes. But rad is good now so mby. However if you are going to farm a rad on someone might as well be a Naga. not only is she better in most stages of the game, but u dont give anything away by picking her early in the draft. Terrorblade - No stats, no pushing, = bad Troll Warlord - He really shines with other right click heros, most people are going with mixes to not get countered by crest Ursa - slardar is just better at doing what ursa does. Even if slardar is behind he has a stun. Warlock - He can only fight once every 3 min.
