look for windrunner
itemwise build really depends on the situation and the heroes picks
bottle + phase boots + mek + force staff is my usual core build

Conceptor said:I could never get around the alt+qweasd that HoN had by default. I've been using ctrl+qweasd instead because I find it a lot easier to manage. Buuuuut.. I tried to set that the other night and it wouldn't let me- so I guess I'm back to clicking items again?!
I've been using 456, space bar, and mouse button 4 and 5 personally.
I may change the 4 5 and 6, though.
How do you use Ctrl + QWEASD?
Your hand is best suited to hit alt with the thumb and QWER with your index, middle and ring fingers. You'd have to bend your wrist the other way every time you hit ctrl with your pinky.

I used 123456qwartg and Ctrl, Alt and Shift.
Ctrl gave me a lot of pain because of how I had to twist my hand and extend my pinky in an awkward position each time.
Although Alt + 6 also required some serious arm gymnastics.

Looking at it, yeah I can see where you are going with the ctrl issue. I guess I've just never had an issue twisting my wrist like that. To be honest, I'm not even sure why alt is such a pain for me considering where my finger is placed at all times.

Trust me, you don't want to be holding Alt with your thumb on an Apple Keyboard, ugh. Ctrl with the pinky on the other hand works great.

Even though I have plenty of other stuff to play I'm suddenly desperate for the DOTA2 beta. Here's to hoping I get an invite soon!
Awesome compilation of Na'Vi (Dota 2 champion team) best moments from The International tournament:

Watch it, it's not very long and it's pretty good edited. Sometimes they show you the abilities/items they have used to escape/initiate if I'm not mistaken. Awesome stuff.
It's mostly artstyle though, and I think he's not in Na'Vi anymore.

Why the feck is the AI so shit when they're on your team? I've pretty much got the mechanics down with the game & Windrunner now (Storm Spirit is amazing too ) so my and Kyaw are there pushing their base at 57 minutes in and our three AI team mates are all at our base doing fuck knows what against the mass of creeps around the nexus/thing. But when you're playing against the AI, they're a tonne more competent than allied AI.
At the end the AI were all like level 13 and like 1/22/12.
Also from what I've seen, Tidehunter looks pretty OP, but I don't know.

Well, I think it is that way because the All AI team has a consistent strategy. They probably communicate together things, the same way they try to communicate with you saying "i'm ganking top" or whatever. You can't communicate with them (yet?), and I guess they don't guess very well the human player intentions/reactions to events. But they surely know perfectly what's the plan of their IA teammates.
