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

Luna's ulti should be channeling like Sand Kings.

 

[Dream_Walker]

Why do people think it currently is channeling? I've had numerous games where people are like "Wtf, i thought it was channeling!!" Then im forced to sigh and say it isnt, they say its gay, and leave.

 

[ChrisH36]

It isn't channeling. It sends out a beam. If there is no additional target nearby, then the damage will repeat on that target until something ventures near it. That is why Eclipse should be used when less enemies are near your attended target.

The one that i thought was the best was maiden and warden. They took mid and at lvl 2 the maiden iceburged me then warden blinked in used her dagger hit hit hit until the slowness stopped and then the maiden used nova and it was gg from there.
O yes and about the black hole freezing field. You better be careful which heroes u r agaisnt because if someone has a stun u r screwed.

[Wing Zero]

[Octopor]

Treads, S&Y, Lothars, Battle Fury, Heart and just build off of that.

 

[phatfish_08]

Aight thx will try that tonight.

 

[Jenny]

Lothars...?

S&Y, Refresher Orb, Heart.

 

[Octopor]

Lothars in case they don't get maimed.

Look people, read the ****ing stickies. It says many of the threads of dota will be merged with the current discussion (THE DotA Thread(basics strats and other stuff). There is a reason we have it, so try reading the stickies.
~Merged.

OK lemme ask you guys...I am having this addiction of using Tiny as my player for 5v5..i wanted to ask you what to build first since there is low $$ and what would be the best build? or who can I best team up with? I dont want techies...hehehehehe!

 

[phatfish_08]

Last night i played a game we had 1 leaver but the rest of our team was good. Our team was earshaker tiny and chaos night. It was impossible to gank us because of our stuns. Thats what i would try to go for if you want to use tiny.
For your item build i have seen multiple builds. People get guins or people go for the hyperstone. It just depends on what you want to do.
srry for the double post by the way.

 

[Vhinz]

I had a build which I liked...I had a MKB, hyperstone, butterfly, linkens sphere, blink dagger and BOT.

 

[ChrisH36]

Hyperstone is a must, since Tiny grows bigger, his attack speed drops.

I also heard you want a Tiny avatar for battleforums!! I can make you one tommorow when I got free time .

 

[Dream_Walker]

Battlefury is also good for Tiny because of the damage he has splashed amongst nearby enemies it is really devestating.

 

[ChrisH36]

Or combine both items to make a Hero of Mass Destruction when it comes to farming .

OMGZ TEH DOTA FORUM IS ALMOST BACK ONLINE YAY FTW! http://forums.dota-allstars.com/index.php?

 

[ChrisH36]

Hooray, I rely on my intuition to win me games, not other people's strategies.

 

[Dream_Walker]

Well so do i, its just that dotaportal claim theyre the #1 dota website when dota-allstars is directly related to the game. And the admins on portal suck balls.
