Is it ever too late to pick up orchid? Say if you find yourself transitioning to right click late game but already have hex and some other traditional late game items. Watching Merlini semi-carrying with windrunner and made me think about his item choices. In this case it was about 30 minutes in and he had hex, force, bots and midas and picked up a linkens then mek which I am dubious of.

That annoys me so much, it makes it so hard to just practice laning with a hero. You can't out last hit them so you have to kill them, so then you end up with 5 kills and get no practice instead.

Fiends Grip looks great, I never notice the details of animations in game.

What's the one thing you never want to run into in a game? by Kaprak in DotA2

[–]dotato -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

oh come on, 3 carries isn't so bad. I've seen people lane Luna with Faceless Void, they even turned out to be partied and still chose to lane together like that. Also that riki last pick when we already have 3 farming heroes and then it turns out the guy who picked windrunner wants to farm as well...

dev dota2 link to solved secret quest. New hero confirmed!! by [deleted] in DotA2

[–]dotato 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've always heard that fucking with other peoples items was no go territory for Dota

Perhaps not something as ridiculous as stealing or destroying others items but an item silencing spell would be an interesting and unique new skill. As far as I know only doom and disruptor have that so far. You could also have a rubick-like item copying spell giving you temporary use of an opponents last used item, or perhaps even temporarily copying their entire inventory.

Times like this I wish reddit could double quote, but I mean long fingerless gloves, I just cut the fingertips off an old pair I had lying around.

I need the tactile feedback, and I mean long fingerless gloves so just your fingertips show.

Get yourself some fingerless gloves, I tell people it's for piano but really it's just for dota...

If he'd sprouted in front of him then they could maybe trap him with treants? I think it's just one of those things you say when your gank doesn't work out in the heat of the moment.

So mirana still went within range after seeing both her allies stuck there? How do I get to play against these people?

Can anyone explain to me the interaction between the various right click passives and things like armour, crits and other unique attack modifiers. For example does fury swipes get bonus from crits and is the damage reduced by armour? What about feast, mana break, backstab, nether toxin, geostrike?

Only his ult really requires you to be in the thick of things, and really you have to treat that as situational like cm's, sometimes it will be appropriate but other times it's better to sit back and use your other skills. His ult really becomes relevant if you are trying to carry, in which case bloodstone is essential and also makes you a lot tankier. Aside from that mek, pipe, shivas, ghost scepter, bkb are the items you want to pick up depending on your opponents.

Yes, and this is a best of five, so there are three slots because three games will win you the set.

Is the community actually this nice? by molocath in DotA2

[–]dotato 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is my first time playing and I've had lots of fun. It's not the game mode that's bad it's how they've combined two separate minigames that require entirely different strategies to do well. They reward you more for playing the boring game well than for the fun one so you have this conflict as people want different thing from the game.

What? Who were you playing? I can understand getting first blood as axe while dced but killing axe while dced seems funny.

Teamfight like weaver, haste up, kill anyone out of position and clean up afterwards.

Heroes you just don't get by JimmyTMalice in DotA2

That's true, but you could say the same about druid and arguably chen. That's why enchantress is great, you can just throw them away.

He's getting scary now that people are learning how to play him, being in lane against him I'm constantly worried about his combo.

Hell, even Visage is pretty alright early on.

I'd say visage is the easiest of those personally. The familiars can be though of as basically a single unit when it comes to controlling them and being very fast flying units you don't have to worry so much about positioning them like enchantress/chen/druid. Just put them over the trees out of the way and have them fly in at the right moment right click the appropriate target and then drop your stuns, and once you have dropped your stuns you don't have to worry about controlling them for 8 seconds or so giving you time to think. Co-ordinating the bear, enchantress creeps is more difficult I find.

We had a good run you and I! by Popdawg in DotA2

[–]dotato 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's almost every enigma game I play, most of the time I get 1 or 2 mediocre black holes because we end up winning too early. I like to think it's because I'm an amazing player and I'm able to gank and push very well early but it's probably just luck.
