I usually play sniper as ranged so he can't be so squishy. xD
I would love to but where do I put that code?

You can filter recent matches and enter the code I think. Just click the watch tab.
You should feel as if every moment of your life from this point on is richer and better than any moment preceding it.
I lol'd.

You guys gave up before the game starts AGAIN? .______. I swear there should be an option to disable allchat AND have enemies appear as anonymous until the game's over or something.
Viper, Clinkz, Weaver, Drow, Nature's Prophet, Outworld Destroyer, Storm Spirit.
Of those, only Viper, Clinkz and Weaver are somewhat easier to play than the others.
morph is GOAT
Unless a morphling killed your family I don't understand why you'd feel that way.
Ok, I'm sorry, but every morphling isn't created equal. He might have just needed the nutrition and care of a tri-lane to work really well.
And he scales really well with levels and items, but takes some effort to play.
I wouldn't really recommend him to a newer player though.
Morphling's main problem is that, to stand up against other hard carries, he needs a significant gold advantage, which is problematic considering his abysmal farm and early game.
His other problem is lololol 285 movespeed.
His other problem is lololol 285 movespeed.
I don't agree at all, I'd say he's at least as good with equal items but it's just harder to farm them.
And abysmal early game? What do you mean with that? It's true that he might need a tri-lane more than some other hard carrys, but on the other hand he has a great nuke where he can dominate those lanes and get kills.
I don't like Viper. never tried Clinkz. I don't like Drow. How do I kill with Prophet? It's more like a very good support imho, but I guess I can try him. I don't like OD and I suck with SS.
about Weaver, dunno, never understood how to play him, maybe I should check a build or something.
btw a good guide for animation cancelling?

Refresher + Scepter is very easy to farm with Zeus, I'm finding.
Edit: unless your team is terribad. Just spend 40 minutes with a Huskar hard carry that goes
0/16/10, building only an Earn, Iron Will Hat and Power Treads...in 40 minutes!
He has an undeservingly bad reputation, that's my point really, and he has a quite unique playstyle (which I really enjoy)
Too many people buy into the "meta-game" of the pros as something stale and that it's always correct, and throw shit at some heroes that aren't being picked without evaluating them rationally.
I won't say that morphling is as good, but DS is a good example of a hero that was never used but was still incredibly strong pre-patch (and coL managed to show it, which changed everything)
And morphling has more than burst...
AFK farm in jungle until you get Midas and Desolator/Sheepstick. Then port around the map and instantly add +1 to any gank.
Mind games. I consider Weaver easy to play because I'm used to playing mind game heroes, so I guess there's some bias there.
None that i know of, sorry.
Well actually, I'm not really privy to the ways of the competitive meta and it's not how I draw my opinions on this hero or that. My problem with Morphling is that his execution level is too high for what amounts to a decent AGI carry. With certain heroes, I see them get picked and I think "oh shit, need to tryhard this asshole so he doesn't go bonkers late game". I never get that reaction with Morphling, he's just a nonissue in most pub players' hands.
Well he also has 152 hp/sec self healAnd morphling has more than burst...
It was definitely not an accusation against you! Just how I feel about the general discussion.
You argued your point, and you might be right, and I'm sure people get a lot more out of our exchange (if anyone cares to read :lol) than the people telling each other they're trash in this thread t_t
Well he also has 152 hp/sec self heal
He can be built for insane sustainable damage too, and with the buffed 10 sec cd adaptive strike I feel that it can be used to control battles with other means than damage better than many other carries too.
Thinking back, I might agree partly with that he needs more items in a way. He needs more items to get to the point of being really useful, but once he has reached that point he is just as amazing as any other carry.
There is a channel, and there are groups from time to time.
Look for Neogaf in the channel list.
As for Anti-Mage. Well, there's no one trick to him. He's just an overall strong hero, if you're struggling to do well with him you should work on your basics. At some point you'll realize that AM takes little to no effort to play to great effect.
I suggest looking up some decent replays of Anti-Mage and just trying to mimic what they do.
Don't be like Archie and only play top tier broken heroes.
Farm, farm, farm. You should not be running around on the map.
Getting kills on your lane is great too, but if you disregard getting creep kills it still won't work out.
When you have farmed either bfury/manta or vanguard/manta, you can start helping out, but obviously you'd rather continue farming unless the teams needs you to defend (or if that's enough to take rax).
I think that's the biggest rule to playing carry:
Unless your team absolutely needs you, you should be farming. If they're pushing down a tower at bot, you should be pushing down top. It doesn't matter if your tower falls, as long as you take one out as well. Immediately porting to a tower to help while you sit on your ass as they push is just a waste of time and potential Gold.

I like buildling medallion on my prophet. Gives you faster farming + easier ganking + mana regen.
They look okay. I prefer playdota though.
Jesus, the scorecard. Will watch anyway. o.o
edit: LMAO. Should be watched with autospeed. Spectre going off the map in slowmotion was epic.
Poor Hyuna. I feel for you man.

It really depends on how you want to play prophet.
I like to play him as a more active ganker, I don't trust most pubs to do fine without my assistance. If your team is self sufficient or you play with them enough I'm sure rushing midas is fine.
Why would you jungle until 8 though?

The test client also got an updated economy_english.txt, although I dont think it will be much help:
Trololol
Well played.
I just had a decent game as Furion, my name is Halyhaly.
I think that argument goes both ways. I don't trust pubbies enough to go for ganks. Too often would a prophet port in and no one goes in to help him and then he dies miserably.
It's safer just to afk farm until you can carry and hope your team doesn't feed too hard.

I think it's fine.
Furion isn't a fast jungler, but he's a safe jungler.
Make sure you're starting with ring of basilus and a set of tangos. If you're going for midas you should have it before 7 minutes.
LOL this game was REALLY late at night and we were all balls tired and just wanted a fun game, but Hyuna queued us up for Captain's Mode when we didn't want it. SO WE MADE OUR OWN FUN.
Drow Ranger is killer.
ye I'm in the chan too, final.
