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

[Renzokuken]

I haven't used half the heroes. That's why i enjoy playing -dm -ar (LAN with friends), because i get heroes i haven't used and it's fun learning a hero in a -dm -ar.

Got Death Prophet once, first time i used her, i pushed mid hardcore and won. Exorcism is soooo good. I didn't want to die so i went for health and armor, so Mekansm/Travel/Bracers. She kinda rapes in an -sm.

how much dmg does exorsim do any wya?

 

[micro.micro]

well RoB will stack with devotion to give him + 7 so it isn't too shabby... i prefer getting cleave early on... instead of a hyper you can get a BF + MoM.... works like a charm that thing


----

exorcism does about 40 dmg a spirit i believe??? just an estimate... i heard around that area...

i've played every hero and i know how to play every hero at least at a par level so i come out even... i don't usually get a negative score unless i have a low dmg hero going up against high hp heroes and i try to play rambo -.-

 

[XDxxTX]

Leoric ??? stun brothers ???

ive hardly played with anyone let me list SA, zeus, sven scorpian king, drow ranger, centaur warchief i think thats all but im randoming now so i can learn with everyone

Enough to own towers. And when the spirits come back to her, she gains alot of hp.

She is also a bitch when it comes to spamming.

@Renzo: I'll reply when i get home, its not letting me return messages.

Well, you can still kill Krobeus off before she has a chance to cast the spell. But during it, you could try to avoid the ghosts and let the effect wear off. Or you can get in her face and kill her before the ghosts have a chance to restore any real life.

But most of the times, running and letting the ghosts kill the chasing hero is really ghey .

You just have to nuke her at once, to a point where she cannot have a chance at survival.

That's why i go Mekansm, an extra 300hp is handy. Especially early game.

 

[ChrisH36]

dude, 300 hp anytime is ALWAYS a good thing. Casters need it to supply thier HP and take a few hits from Magina without him slaughtering hte caster. Melee guys can use it to add a little extra shield to thier life.

 

[Renzokuken]

Yeah but it's not always necessary. I only really get it in a 3v3 or 2v2 game, or -dm -ar's if i pull an intelligence hero first.

What items do you guys get in -dm -ar's? I always get Travel, Lothars, Linkens and a few Bracers until i get a hero i'm sure i wont lose for a while. Because those items i just listed can help any hero. Lothars is so handy in -dm -ar's.

nevr played dm how do they work?

 

[micro.micro]

it's actually 250 hp.... but anyway, mek is actually garbage late game..... much more useful to just sell it off and get something more efficient

 

[XDxxTX]

I played a Dm today like you die and then you respawn witha different hero. does it random it or is that only when its -ar as well ??? oh and once a hero you use dies you cannot ever get that hero again in the game and first team to get 32 (i think) deaths loses.

Oh i guess supanoob you must suck at dota according to no.188 (by hellwolf ) on the you know you suck at dota when... thread. ahaha just kidding dude you know alot of shit haha

Oops you're right, it is 250 haha. But yeah, it is garbage late game, but it's still a huge lifesaver early to mid game.

nevr played dm how do they work?

DM = Deathmatch. If you die, you don't get that hero back, so you can just sacrifice yourself for that tower kill or first blood unless you don't care or hate your hero haha. Once you die, you must choose another hero (If it isn't -ar). If it is -ar, it randoms.

It's ALOT of fun! It makes you play harder and makes your more careful, and it forces you to get used to certain heroes. Sometimes -ap's get boring and sometimes i just don't know what hero i want to play!

I really hate -id. It's not that i suck, but if you lose something like Boots of Travel, it's like a knife to the heart! It sucks so much when you lose something you farmed hard to get!

 

[Dream_Walker]

If you guys want a REAL challenge, do -dm -ar -sm -sc -id. OMG it's so fun.

 

[ChrisH36]

But also, in deathmatch with regards to Syllabear. Transfer all your items from the bear to you before you "kick the bucket".
