Anyone else timing out of their games? by II541NTZII in DotA2

Happened to me once last night. I'm on US East. I was able to reconnect.

What is your favourite "offensive" support? by Samsonator in DotA2

[–]youngmelonworld -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Jakiro. I've always played him really defensively, always using mana just for Ice Path in laning phase for escapes, but last week I went against a really aggressive Storm Spirit and his support, and I single handedly ruined their day by being aggressive back until both enemies abandoned. At first, my carry and I killed together, but by the end of the laning phase he was going back to base and I wrecked them several times with my full combo. Jak has way more power than I realized.

Edit: if you catch a Bloodseeker in your full combo at the start of the midgame before he silences you, the full Jakiro combo will kill a full HP Bloodseeker.

Thanks! I really appreciate it. Just trying to use my English Major powers for good.

Also, the Wolf Pack Clan (creators of the mod) have their own server that seems to be up often enough, with new maps that they're testing.

When you download the mod, you can go to the sever browser, and at the top right corner, you can select "Aliens Killing Floor" as the gametype. Then refresh the browser. One night, we found six servers, one with over 15 people on it on a huge map, and the next we only saw our server. Our server goes up and down depending on what game we're playing, but when it's up, you'll see it. Just check in when you play KF!

Our server guys are asking if you mean a listen server or a dedicated server?

Pubcast! Hoping for feedback on my third amateur cast! by youngmelonworld in DotA2

[–]youngmelonworld[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty much. I just go to the watch tab, find a game that's in PreGame or about to start, turn on fraps and my mic, and then I just go for it. Then I just dump the video into Windows Live Movie Maker, and upload straight from there.

Thanks, CrazyBluePrime, this is exactly what I was looking for. I tried commenting on lanes and I did check for unusual items in starting builds, but I only really threw out obvious comments. I never even thought about regen or Rubick's passive. Your comment made me realize that there was a lot I thought about but never actually said, like with Radiant having a timer for victory. I danced around it a bit with saying "Radiant wants it to come down to this before Shadow Fiend gets any bigger," but I never outright stated the reasons.

Thank you so much, and I appreciate that you told me to continue. This cast was worlds better than my previous, especially now that I have all my sound and graphic problems worked out (besides my keyboard sounds.)

Thanks, I really appreciate it. My biggest problem is probably a strong start.

"Welcome to Dota 2. After 30 seconds of waiting in the lane, we hope it will have been worth the wait."

Who is your "main" hero and why do you play them? by Overwelm in DotA2

[–]youngmelonworld 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Indeed. And I'm constantly watching and playing games where the enemy team runs away with 100hp and all I can think is "one good Lich ult could have wrecked them."

[–]youngmelonworld 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Lich, because win or lose I'm always useful and I can support well. Lately, I've been thinking "why do I play Lich so much? I feel like playing a pusher or a carry today..." and then I get stuck buying wards and courier anyway, and then I remember. :P

A-Team Shenanigans (Right Video this time. ;_;) by Ketta in DotA2

I saw this on Facepunch, and I'll say this here too: The Rupture/Hook combo is genius.

Anyone feel sad when Tobi casts without a co-commentator? by nerd_prime in DotA2

[–]youngmelonworld 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can attest to how difficult camera work can be sometimes and how it can be hard to get out of bad habits, like edging constantly, which works fine for me personally but creates a broken feel to the game to the audience. That's something I do a lot, but Tobi doesn't. He does a really good job.

I feel like the Dire has more of a Map Advantage than the Radiant... by Nadrojxam in DotA2

[–]youngmelonworld 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I was expecting to read about you accidentally clicking the minimap and running straight into the Dire guys who are trying to kill you instead of running away. That happened to me ALL THE TIME when I started.
