Was your Veno building damage because you had 3 supports?

Was your Veno building damage because you had 3 supports?
Their Veno was doing that because everyone doesn't know Veno is a support but to them agi=carry regardless of the hero.


I did my first captains mode game with all but 1 person in skype! :D

I'm almost good with templar assassin.

But it didn't seem to keep any record of it.. :(

Got a picture!

i'm quite good with the death prophet

Defense 3 courier is so cool!



Would it be bad to pay £6 for that? I would probably watch some of the defense too..

And he comes from space!

I know I'm bad at this game but WHY THE forget DOES THIS BR LUNA RUSH loving SATANIC

I was positive as a mid that wasn't Krob, I was loving WRECKING this Morphling mid and their Nature's Profit cashed off of our stupid loving BR Luna.

Loads of people don't know how crucial adjusting your item build is.
Luna is the kind of hero who wants all the huge items but going Satanic first is an awful idea, the first one you should always get is a BKB for sure.

Having a nuke as a carry, along with one of the strongest level 1 ults means you can focus less on damage items first and more on survivability, except all these idiots go agi treads, poormans and helm of the dominator instantly. Not only do shields suck massive richard on ranged heroes, you have like, 600 HP and explode in a few hits.

Magic immunity on squishy heroes is a must, and having free damage lets you pump that out and still be useful. It's like how the older traditional way to play Anti-Mage was a Vanguard into Manta, so you were more useful, since mana burn does great damage. Now people opt for a Battlefury since his blink allows ridiculous farming, as well as a good escape if you're caught out. The problem with doing that is that they sacrifice his early game contribution, but dumb pubs go Battlefury AM and still try and fight with just that, only to find out they still can't do much with no health.

Luna is also one of those heroes that is more likely to be a terrible pub player, like the stereotyped Riki and Sniper pickers. Coincidentally they also build stuffty items like VLADS FIRST EVERY HERO and Shadow Blade every game despite not even needing it and Manta rush on Sniper being so much stronger due to headshots proccing on illusions, as well as headshot being the best skill to max first since it boosts your DPS by a little under 50 every shot on average.

I should just stick to playing Invoker because he's so strong at all points you get to set the game flow early. He's also incredibly hard to outlane due to his versatility. Usually leads to me netting some kills in the sidelanes and hopefully going something like 5-0 heading into the midgame. I just hate when people ask me to run to their pushed out lane to gank when I already have a global presence for when they realize you can't gank pushed lanes.

Granted, I had some itemization hiccups - went for Sheepstick first for Furion because I did well in lane, but had to get a BKB for the Magnus. I was pretty much stuck with half-completed versions of both for a while.

But I didn't go HotD first into Satanic as my first major item them grab an Eaglesong at like 50 minutes.

Contrast with my last QoP game, where the Luna I played with was the only reason I won.

My rage is immense.

My current Slark Builds so far have been
Vanguard, I'm a bit iffy on the vanguard since his ult heals him up really loving quick, really just needs armour
Arcane Boots for mana regen since your manapool sucks early game but because of your maneuverability it really helps as a support item just to run in pop it for a team mate and run out.
Vlads really helps for farming and makes your regeneration even faster
Many times I bearly escape a gank and start off to the fountain with really low health only to find I'm at near full HP less than halfway there.
Butterfly for extra evasion, you're super slippery already this just makes it near impossible for people to successfully gank you at all
I want to throw BKB in there like proog suggested, Slark is subject to a lot of spell abuse.
Pounce and Shadow together make a really good alternative to Blink dagger so that could be a bit redundant.
I've wanted to test manta on Slark but never seem to build it before the game ends
I'm very bad at dota :/

Vanguard is a waste IMO because damage block is only good for the first 15 minutes or so and the health regen doesn't really add much. As for boots, you're probably better off going Treads instead as you need the stats desperately and the attack speed is a boon as well.

HOW DO I PLAY THIS GAME I JUST WANT TO BE FRIENDS WITH EVERYONE BUT THEY ALWAYS KILL ME AND I OFFER THEM THESE LEAF THINGS BUT NO THEY STAB ME

WHY

oh god slarks loving attack speed is brutal
late game hyperstones I guess would be pretty good
that last one I ended up building Bloodstone

If anyone is in High to Very High MM I'll be more than happy to party with you.

Outcarried by Lina. Am sad.



So now Void is the only carry where I have more wins than losses and generally didn't do too badly in half of those wins.

Out of the carries I've played, I've only played each like 5 times. :(
