Why does everyone hate on Sniper? Serious question, I have no idea.

Who knows. My favorite pusher (carry larry) by far. That dwarf just eats through creep waves and towers when properly built. He starts off with pitiful damage, but after a few levels he really cranks that crap up.

I just hate that he is so squishy. Still, it's not as big of a deal with his range.

Super squishy, no escape skill, completely dependent on positioning (admittedly made easier by his ridiculous range, but still). His skills are pretty cool, his ultimate is pretty awesome but you need good Dota fundamentals to be good with him. Not a good hero for a beginner.

[The_Player]

Dazzle so good, so good. Was solo laning with him against Puck and Huskar, decided to go Medalion. Well, even Huskar's passive can't save him if he's facing this much physical damage, that's for sure.

[Dreams-Visions]

I think I have found the mother of all console commands, the command to display information related to the hero performance! dota_hero_standings_debug Turn developer mode on (developer 1), and feast your eyes on numbers.

I can't seem to find instructions on how to turn on developer mode.

Played a game as Naix with a VS, Slardar and a Dazzle with Medallion. Built AC.

Open wounds someone, quadruple/quintuple armor debuff...

What lies! Dwarfs are little tanks, 2.3khp lvl18. Build tanky items, no escape? build Skadi kite them all day long, have a good team to back you up.

Remember what are snipers? best support for you infantry. Always be behind your team, get caught? lol try killing me with 2k plus hp while my team helps me.

[Irish]

Bah, no need to do that. Sniper shouldn't even be at risk to need that much health. You should be doing more damage and quicker!

[Swag]

That Screenshot is disgusting for so many reasons Sanjay

I love dazzle. Whats a medalion do?

Reduces their and your armor.

Great for Dazzle because both of his damaging spells do physical damage.

Ah thanks.

I wish everyones abilities said if it was physical or magic. I'm sure i could read up on it somewhere but it would be nice to see in game, then i would know what to buy on people

[Dreams-Visions]

Got probably my most absurd win ever last night.

Match started fine. I was mid with Drow; lion and SB were bot against Omni + Axe. Omni and Axe start off ridiculously aggressive, chasing bot beyond the t1 tower. I go down to help and we get an immediate double kill. Up 2-0, things are going smoothly.

Well, I must not have been paying good attention because by the 7-minute mark I look up (expecting to see 2-0 or something like that still) and it's like...2-9 in their favor. By the 12-minute mark its something like 20-3. The majority of my team is feeding, so I pretty much conclude that it's all over but the crying. I keep playing it out anyway even though we're getting molested. By the 30 minute mark all our towers are down (all but one of theirs stands) and we're pushed in our base trying to fend off waves of creeps, trying to absorb aegis axe, etc. we lose a couple of tier 3's and the top rax, so we're trying to push top out as far as possible while dealing with their pushes. Somehow we get 3 consecutive successful team fights (resulting in their mid towers getting pushed down), and their key players run out of money for buy-backs. The last engagement happens at mid and baby, they don't see us coming. invis bounty + shadow drow + shadow lion + sb doing *just enough* to silence/stun down omni, gem exposes riki next...np nowhere around...axe and viper goes down quickly...and we win the game.

I still don't believe it. when 3 characters on your team go a combined 8/41...you don't expect to win.

Never give up. That's the lesson for the day.

[dorkimoe]

haha singsings stream, its nothing but people spamming him for invites to play with him. Yeah i know what that feels like *flexes*



^that is a weird win.. well that riki had 0 farm

[Forkball]

Honestly, what's the best way to stop farm heavy heroes like Ursa, Lycan, Druid etc. I know you will say " don't let them farm/jungle" but they seem to get built up so quickly and by the time you see them, they can already wreck you.

I kinda suck and have no clue what im talking about. But i would guess the best way is to force team fights. If they have someone in jungle just 5 man up and push a lane to force that other person out of the jungle. If they dont come out of the jungle to help, then just keep taking towers

Bear Knight went 17-3 and he still lost. His team was so bad.

Yeah... And I've seen other people with the same name. HyunA(1), etc.

I'd like to think that stupid first blood wasn't him. lol

[Guesong]

Awww.

Does Hyuna stand for anything? You'd think there wouldn't be alot of people using that nickname. K-Pop idol?

[dorkimoe]

If you have multiple jungling heroes like Dark Seer, Chen, Enchantress, etc, you can offensively jungle the shit out of them. But you need good coordination.

What really screws me up is an agressive venomancer. Venomancer + a Bounty Hunter will just own junglers. Using his wards to block spawn camps and venomous gale ganking + putting pressure on solo lane with wards makes venomancer a very good choice.

[Finalow]

sniper is just the worst carry in the game.

btw sing_sing just lost against a 21 - 3 ss called Hyuna, not this gaf Hyuna tho (this ss was a good player you know). so yeah, a lot of Hyuna.

Is there going to be an all random mode? Or was there in dota1?

Its already there in lobby games and might come soon to matchmacking.

Oh never noticed. Nice. Gives me an excuse to try a new hero and suck

[Sanjay]

Look at the map.


Windrunner doing her best to stop weaver and mega creeps from taking the base while the other 4 of us are doing the same after wining teamfight, came down to a 10% left on our base while we took theirs. Man this game was a high to low back to high.

[Drkirby]

Looking though some texture files, I did find what I think is an unused texture relating to bounty hunter's track, since it's called status_track_scroll.



Also, a bunch of the items actually have models to them.

[Dreams-Visions]

I can't seem to find instructions on how to turn on developer mode.

anyone?

Do you mean console mode?

I've been wanting to switch my keybinds up and use camera pan on wsad, items on alt 12345, skills on 12345, controls groups on f1-f5.

[SteveWinwood]

Getting extra money from randoming makes me just want to do it all the time. Getting boots that much faster really helps. I can't wait to be burned by it hard and never want to do it again.

[The_Player]

Actually, you can find this kind of information in skill popups.

Hey, Cyborgmatt, you forgot to relogin.

I would have called him a Pusher from the start.

Get Freshpro and Trixi back to make the best team possible.

[Artanisix]

Why does everyone hate on Sniper? Serious question, I have no idea.

They hate him because he's the greatest carry known to man.

Also if you look at the latest filipino competitive replays, Naga Siren is a top pick and top ban. Interessttiiiiiiiiiing.

I am surprised matt never posted about these:




















I finally know what Shiva's actually looks like, the icon looked like some arctic mushroom.

They already asked Trixi back, he said no. Then probably drew a penis.

Why have they modelled items in 3d when all you can see ingame is 2d icons?

[Lirlond]

Why have they modelled items in 3d when all you can see ingame is 2d icons?

So the heroes can carry them

[Haly]

Maybe we'll finally see the items on our heroes now.

Makes me happy. I <3 Siren.

[KScorp]

Why have they modelled items in 3d when all you can see ingame is 2d icons?

Probably for when you drop items on the ground. Most items are the generic item box atm, only a few have models, like the TP scroll, Divine Rapier, and Gem.
