The DotA Thread! [Basic Strats and Hero/Item talk]

[Dream_Walker]

yea but i think ppl underestimating you and running straight towards the shadow fiend is funny. then they have -10 armor n lose 1/5 of their life per hit and try to run away. shadow raze is better than the aura though i agree but i just think its cool to take the enemy down 10 points + the leva 's attk another -4

oh one more thing, who do u guys think is the best melee hero? i'm sticking to naix but my other friend is arguing sven and leoric.

shadow fiend, tidehunter, rigwarl, slardar, desolater all reduce armor. however, i still think presence sucks.

@ chris: better hope you got some sprints and high bash or it wont work because they will run away.

 

[Mr.Sloth]

that y u warstomp first. u shuld b able to at least bash em once if u max bash alrdy.
will the bash stack with that one stunnning hammer?

 

[Dream_Walker]

fo sho. and the hammer is called Cranium Basher.

 

[ChrisH36]

I am well aware of that. I once got 10-3 using that hero (which is pretty awesome considering I am not that good at dota).

 

[Dream_Walker]

@auron7772: DotA stands for Defense of the Ancients is one of the most popular games on WC3. There are over 70 diff heroes, and tons of items to get for each hero. The game is not really geared toward hero killing [although that does play a main part in the game] it is merely intended on pushing and destroying the opposition.

 

[munchyman]

I just got ft and started playing...


ahve to say, love the venomancer......reccommend him for all noobish players!

 

[Dream_Walker]

ya his psn is a bitch but he isnt so bad if you got the right person say like viper or something.

 

[micro.micro]

how bout that new hero? what a rigged bastard!!! his shield + ult is nearly unkillable if you don't have stunners on your team.

i been wondering, whats the best 5 hero team there is? i mean if all 5 people were working together and cooperated. all stunners?

 

[Wing Zero]

new hero isnt to bad really
just the mark of the abyss is a tiny bit gay but i liek how it still chases winwalk units so they cant escape

Enigma
Crystal Maiden
Sand King
Treant Protector
Naga Siren

AoE ults ftw :grunt

 

[Malcom Sex]

Treant, sven, crix, rhasta, and sand king.

 

[ChrisH36]

Any team containing the stun brothers (Sven/Leoric).

 

[Dream_Walker]

their stuns got nerfed though

 

[Malcom Sex]

i'd rather have chaos knight than leo

 

[Dream_Walker]

not really considering he has 50 sides per dice, and his stun isnt SO reliable.

 

[Octopor]

Gondar, Rhasta, Leoric, Clinkz and Sand King.

FTW

 

[josh88]

i have been playing dota since about 6.16 and i have just began playing regularly and i never know wat to do with anti mage i saw wat some of u guys posted about going cbasher and i was wondering if that strat has changed in the newer versions
i also want to know wat u think the best way to learn not to die is should i be overly causious or just push and try to keep up with other players?

 

[ChrisH36]

their stuns got nerfed though

I guess thier lengths got reduced to avoid the fact that people were nearly pwned when Sven would then use God Strength or when Leoric started getting crits.

 

[Dream_Walker]

no, its cause IceFrog is a dumb fag who nerfs everything to bits. he should rename the map "dota zerostars" :rolleyes

 

[ChrisH36]

Heh, HatoUP should take some lessons from IceFrog for sure lol.
