Dota 2 Megathread: Wraithed

[kevin 51l]

friend chooses single pick instead of all pick, and one of my choices is wisp so i autopick him. right when i get my ult i teleport me and my friend into the fountain. was really fun. it was his first game and he went 18/8/18 ES and stole every kill ever. i went 6/11/27 :3

Earthshaker is loving awesome. I always forget to hit S when I'm about to cast a stuffty wall though. Same goes for a Split Earth on Leshrac, I've done some kickass MLG-level stuns because I lead my targets too much.

Halloween map coming soon.

I find it funny how everyones matches are so clean, Hero X X X then they play some Hero Y Y Y Y Y for a few rounds then some Z Z Z Z Z, mine are completely random.

[Bloody Mary]

So is Dagon viable on Bounty Hunter?

[Proog]

Possible but no recommended due to the nature of his skills, he has better scaling nukes with physical damage rather than magical damage.
On the other hand as someone like Nyx Assassin dagon is very reliable to stack more nukes, then followed with an ethereal blade to make brokenly strong nuke combos after your initial hit.

[ChexGuy331]

I feel like I should give fewer stuffs when solo queuing.

e.g.

Where do I start with jungling?

and

test out every carry and see which one I suck the least with.

'cuz Earthshaker and Tidehunter are awesome, but they get old.

Stop trying to justify your mistake!

Granted the other team sucked :(

[ChexGuy331]

I feel so useless playing Rooftrellen. I know it's mostly placebo because his ult is actually better now (dmg was pretty low imo) and Living Armor is pretty awesome (armor loss is kind of saddening, but global block/heal is godlike), but Leech Seed. Leech Seed makes me feel useless. Use it and have no mana for anything else. Don't use it and feel like you're not contributing.

/wrists

or rather

/branches

Before the 6.75 parity, I played pretty aggressively, maxing Leech Seed first and rushing a Soul Ring. I didn't need Arcane Boots if I had a Soul Ring. I tried taking things a little slower after the patch (soloing against a Dirge and Rylai - not fun) but the Zeus on my team was a loving handicap. I felt like I was doing alright, up until teamfights happened. My ult timing and positioning sucked, mostly, but the aforementioned Leech Seed mana problems occurred (I didn't buy Arcane or Soul Ring that match - definitely a mistake).

Then someone will say to me PLAY TIDEHUNTER INSTEAD.

and you know what forget YOU TIDEHUNTER ISN'T A loving TREE

[Proog]

No but Tide has a 40% slow, 40% damage reduction and his own personal purge every 600 damage. Plus his ult is massive and does damage as well. There's a reason many people considered him the better Treant, and it's because all his skills were really good with even just 1 point in them, and his ult was generally more useful.

[ChexGuy331]

Notice how I never said Tide WASN'T better than Rooftrellen. That's not even debatable, no stuff he's better than Rooftrellen. But you missed the part where I mentioned that I get tired of playing Tide, and I specified at the end of the post that want to play Treant Protector because I want to play Treant Protector because he's not Tide and I don't want to play Tide at that point in time.

So yeah. Every time I see "WHY PLAY TREE WHEN YOU CAN PLAY TIDE" I get pissed the forget off because that's the stupidest stuff I've ever seen. If you're going to loving yell at me for playing someone I want to loving play, play whoever the forget you think is better your own goddamn self.

Which leads back to my complaints of not being able to manage as Tree, which will inevitably lead to "your fault for playing an inferior hero blah blah blah I'm an ignorant starfish" yeah forget YOU I want to play my loving tree.

[Proog]

Congratulations you completely blew that out of proportion, maybe think about what you said and relate that to your game performance. Getting unbelievably worked up over something as trivial as that is going to throw your focus off completely. If you can't manage him, don't play him? That's literally the reason everyone can't play a micro hero like Chen, Meepo or Invoker. Maybe it's the armour being a skill instead of a passive?

[ChexGuy331]

I think I can handle the armor (actually it doesn't give armor anymore D: ). I've always been terrible at mana management, so I should just keep getting a Soul Ring and mana boots, along with more teammate awareness so I can use Living Armor properly. I only played one game with him after the parity, and got some bad luck.

I'm just tired of the "play Tide instead" comments. Needed to release some steam.

As for other heroes, I'm strangely attracted to the prospect of Bash and have a sudden urge to play Spirit Breaker, Darkterror, or Slardar...

[ChexGuy331]

They finally fixed the armor display in 4:3, all stone age monitor users like me rejoice.

But some other complaint thread about 4:3 says "fix zoom," is my peripheral vision at a disadvantage? Streams with widescreen (as in ALL OF THEM) seem to be zoomed out further, but when I spectate, it seems to zoom out further too...
