We should create a small 5on5 dota league ourselves, so we can play dota and crush anyone who stands in our way. Or better yet, make dota games with the battleforum members involved.
second game sound like it would work better then the first, remebr last time?

Well when you swap heroes with Marc, complain, and feed to creeps it is annoying and makes you look noob.

You are pretty awesome, but it is a little annoying when people act silly when others are trying to play :(.

What hero models do you think will be used in the upcoming 6.33? I have a feeling it will be a PotM model, and an Alchemist model. Maybe even a Gnoll.

I'm keen on a little DotA league. Our 3v5's were fun, but a 5v5 would be total ownage. That way i don't have to choose a pusher hero like Enigma :p

As for the new heroes, i'd like to see a PotM.

I want to see a Mur'gul, just for the hell of it. Or maybe even a Gnoll.

I would like to bring a topic of farming and denying. Its difficult to deny creeps in battle, especially when your enemy gets to them first. I don't really deny too often, and exp denial can allow you to level up quite quickly, especially against the really good farmers.

Haha, yeah. I also want to see a Sylvanas model. Also a golem, and a Blood Mage. I hope they bring back Invoker and Gambler.

Yeah, I miss the Gambler, he was a hero that depended on money to cause damage. His attack animation was even gold coins. Invoker I never understood, even though I never saw him. I think you had a selection of runes, then you mix them around and you cast a spell depending on the combonation.

I believe someone posted some combos to his moves, but I find remembering that stuff to be too complex.

Here's where Invoker made his second appearence in DotA. (His first was in 6.0 and Guinsoo couldn't get him to function. (He also looked like the regular Blood Mage and his name was Morban.))

Edit; I'll upload once it wants to work.

How so? The runes used for his spells can easily be kept tracked in an array.

Then I don't really see what the problem was in making him function.

Well Quas/Wex/Exort never worked, and Invoke never formed any spells.

Heh, well things like that happen if you bring in combination spell heroes.

Yes, but they are so much more fun than the regular, 3 skill and 1 ultimate heroes.

Some of them you didn't need to remember because they were quite worthless. The good ones were (in my opinion) Chaos Meteor, Disarm, Fire Shield (or whatever it's called), Tornado Blast, Icey Path, Levitate, Firebolt, Telelightning, Frost Nova, EMP (if you can time it right), and occasionally Arcane Arts (if you meet Lina in the river and are fast enough to swap). Also it was fun massing Exort early game for the health regen, or when you are escaping turn on Wex so you can run faster, or turning on Quas for a nice damage output. Also a nice addition is when they added stats to the skills.

lol i have no idea what you guys are talking about :D anyway i never had a chance to play any of the heroes b4 6.1x ish and i dled 5.85 to try out once and that was it :\

i like the idea behind invoker from your descriptions, i mean if he takes a lot of hotkeys to create a single spell and the user has the remember the combinations exactly or a misclick can cause serious dmg. that would be a real pro hero.... either click like 10 keys in 3-5 seconds or suffer a feedback or do very little dmg kind of thing :D
