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

[ChrisH36]

Invoker was a unique hero to the game. Instead of the basic 3-1 skill ratio. He had rune combonations! The way you combined the runes, the different spells you cast. But the problem is, its pure memorization.

 

[Renzokuken]

Yeah, too bad if you pull him in a -dm -ar and you don't know how to use him. I pulled Spiritbreaker in an -ar match, i got my ass handed to me. First time i used Spiritbreaker.

LOL u know who i like silencer hes pretty awesome. Its even better when you verse a noob in your lane and you use curse of the silent on him and he dosent know that you jsut use a spell tog et rid of it. I did this to a newb earthshaker and he jsut ran around haha i killed him like 5 times just use curse of the silent and attack him with glaives of wisdom LOL its soo funni !!

 

[ChrisH36]

I don't really like his ultimate that much, global silence for 4 seconds or so is only good when you want to shut up a group of channelers at once. However, the aura itself compensates for this skill. You can easily silence someone just by them going up to you and casting spells, a truly nasty anti-Rylai weapon.

Apart from Rylai, it rapes any chain nukers.

Silencer is great with Aghanims, MKB, and Guinsoos. It is just rape.

his ultamate is godly!!!! are you kidding? when i play scrims his ult saves our asses all the time lol. his last word is awesome as well but global silence is just l33t + drow's silence.

 

[kitty64]

holy shit man this is one bigass thread... i played dota a few times and i sucked of ass... except with the rifleman guy that guy ownz but hes pretty cheap

 

[Wing Zero]

y was silencer allwoed to summon those infernals at first?

 

[Dream_Walker]

Because that was his original skillset. It didn't have much synergy, so they remade him.

 

[ChrisH36]

Also, it was an easy way to take down towers and also take tower kills fairly easy. Mostly because of the chaos damage they cause.

 

[Renzokuken]

Terrorblade in Metamorphisis had chaos damage. Thankfully nothing has chaos damage anymore (Except neutral creeps).

 

[ChrisH36]

Yeah, but here is the thing about Terrorblade. ITs not the choas damage that hurts, its when he metas, mirror images, then he has the Eye of Skadi on him. We are talking about monster damage from multiple clones along with cold attacks from the original.

Yeah, and then when you try to kill him, he will Sunder an image/you. It is even worse when he has a Dagon, see this.

 

[ChrisH36]

Cause he can Dagon you to finish you off after robbing your life via Sunder. If that doesn't work, then he can either attack you or Life Drain you to death.

 

[Dream_Walker]

Soul Steal sucks vs heroes.

 

[Renzokuken]

It's good early game. But makes more sense to use it on a creep, while creeping.

 

[Wing Zero]

i gusse it migth work if they run away with like 100 health

 

[Renzokuken]

Hey what do you guys think is a good build for SA? I hardly play him and i got him in an -ar match. I got a Ring of Regen first, then Treads, and then got a Butterfly because i didn't know what else to get. Heaps of people use that hero, but i never check what items are good for him.
I would've gotten a Buriza next if i didn't disconnect. But damn, SA is an awesome hero killer...

 

[ChrisH36]

Well Ring of Regen and speed boots help the hero out. You should have enough money for the two things together. Agility heroes lack a strong hp recovery (except Ulfsaar and N'iax later). So you need to make up with it by increasing your hit points via strength items or getting the 2 hp recovery. Mekansm is recommended too. As for SA, think more stealth and less battle class. If you get him items like Buriza or DR, you should have no trouble with him. Don't forget to try to deny your enemies' creeps so they get underleveled.

 

[Dream_Walker]

Call solo, grab 2 Slippers/1 Circlet. Farm and farm, get Ring of Health, then farm and get Sacred Relic, then form Radiance. Best way is the only way!
