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

can we try to edge back to the dota topic!

I always thought Monkey King bar was a stupid item to get merely for the 30% chance to stop channeling spells. You could get it for the damage but you have buriza for that.
I mean really... 30% chance to stop channeling spells?! On hit?!
If you're being life drained by, say, a pugna. That gives you 9 seconds to:
A) run away and break it in about a second
B) Stun him (There! The channelling is finished!)
C) Silence
Those are the best options.
Ok so say you got an MKB and you're being life drained. Are you really gonna keep hitting the channeller until they stop?

MKB tends to own...+15% attack speed, +70dmg and a 30%chance to stun for a half second.

That half second tends to help quite a bit all the time. It's saved my life quite a many time.

 

[Dream_Walker]

mkb is very good item for lets say, pa. it helps her attack speed, gives her a mini stun, and helps out with damage along with coup de gras.

Speaking of the King Bars. I like the Black King Bar. A useful way to save your ass from a spell that is about to kill you, if you can activate it in time. And the requirements for it aren't that hard to obtain.

lmfao... i wonder if you can make a chicken so buff it can actually start fighting like a normal hero ahaha

You can. A group of my friends one game when Dagon Booster Chickens (all 5 of them). With thier heroes helping and such, they managed to stop a push in a few seconds thanks to focus firing on the harder heroes with the Chicken Dagon.

Lol Lion with dagon is cheap. insta-kill early game :butterfly

 

[ChrisH36]

Also, he can use his Finger of Pain afterwards if you are almost dead. So you can lose a HELL LOAD of life.

Lion with Sheepstick + Maxed Dagon is going to kill any hero 1v1. Until like, way late game.

dream walker how did u pwn me with puga thingy in beging of game

 

[Dream_Walker]

lol. i bought dagon and used decrepify... that whole strat gets ****ed if they buy bracers though.

 

[zel0s]

Pugna... what a godley hero
seriosly if your good with him... you win at life

 

[Dream_Walker]

yes since hes about the hardest hero to master since he doesnt start out with much life and his ult isnt so great, considering anything that stuns or hexes stops it.

 

[ChrisH36]

So is Visage at some point. Until you get used to microing more than 1 unit, so you can farm more effectively.

 

[Dream_Walker]

but the thing is, you dont need to micro. lol. just turn on grave chill and then auto cast soul assumption, then order all of your units to attack the hero.

 

[micro.micro]

i think shadow fiend is the funnest hero to play with, just max the -armor aura and get a desolator . only thing is that when someone gets a plait maul it ruins everything

i dont get the aura at all, because i think its crummy. shadowraze and necromastery = pwnage. the requiem of souls is quite imba too ^^

 

[Mr.Sloth]

shadowraze is kinda iffy... the aura helps every bit

 

[Dream_Walker]

still dont like it. -4 armor? please

 

[micro.micro]

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.

 

[ChrisH36]

Whats worse? Oh Stygian + amplify damage, gg your armor. Nothing like Slardar the in your face stunaholic dropping your armor bad and keeping you pinned.
