Ok so Outworld Destroyer seems really dumb.
At level 20, with just a ForceStaff, Rod of Atos, Treads, a Talisman, and an ultimate orb:
I was hitting for almost 500 damage.
Also when u get too about 1600-2000 mana, you dont have to turn off your orb. Because after 3-4 attacks, you will always regain your mana back from those attacks.
He just seems insane, I was literally 2-3 hitting some of their heroes. My gpm wasnt even that good, I ended with about 400.
Imagine if you went crits or got DD :S
He has a few weakness though, one being BKB since his orb is magic, and two being early ganks since he's super squishy with no escape.
Umm isn't it pure, so BKB has no effect on it? Or am I just thinking spell resistance from Pudge and Anti Mage is what's useless against him?
spell res is useless, but its still a magic orb, so bkb makes it useless. Although in all honesty, he'll still be hitting for around 150 dmg at that point. And he can always astral himself to wear out ur bkb in a 1v1 setting.

How does OD's q work? It's an orb why do I cast it on enemys?
is there any meaningful way to report cheaters?
What I learned tonight: there are still some *significant* cheats out there. I downloaded the replay if anyone wants to see. a SK had Radiance at minute 14.
nope.avi
Whats the Match ID?
Also, this is how I feel when Skeleton King is on my team:

Orbs (Called "Unique Attack Modifiers" in Dota 2) that are abilities work by either casting them or toggling them. The default key to toggle an ability is alt+key. With OD, you can hit Alt+Q to toggle it the effect, and every regular attack will have that effect. If you just want to use it once, you can just cast it normally, it still has the same effect. This also applies to heroes like Drow Ranger or Huskar.

Just watched the second DD v EG game. DD really threw it at Rosh twice. The windrunner in that game was freaking awesome though. I'm going to have to watch it again to study him.
AKA xP versus Fire
Got the game last year and played like 3 games which made me rage quit for months.
Now I've started playing again with few guys from here, mostly practice and some MM and it's going rather well, I really like the game now.
My question is, how/where can I learn more? (read that playdota article)
Now, by practicing I keep improving my mechanics, learning about heroes, improving my last hit, got that suggested file someone here made and that's all ok but what I really need is to know counters to heroes, how to play them properly etc, so what's the best way to do that?
Practice practice practice? Can't figure it all out myself.
Should I just watch people play ingame?
^ that's the main thing I wanna learn, how to pick character based on what others have or what my team needs, so far I've just been practicing random characters
Got any good website where I can learn about heroes and that sort of stuff, playdota best for it?
Tobi's oarsome, but he's wrong. Great hero, fun to play and watch.DOXIAAAAA

Play every hero at least once, and look at what they are, I suggest checking out dotacinema's youtube channel and watch that movie about the hero you are about to play. They explain every skill the hero has and shows how they work in about 2/3 minutes. Then I use a alt-tab guide for the skillbuild and items when I play them.
Using this method I'm almost done with the radiant side, just Chen and Silencer left. And this way REALLY helped me see how teambuilds work. Also playing single draft kinda helps I suppose, people work more on their teambuilds in that mode I noticed.

I just got into the beta. Holy shit I suck. FIrst game VS bots. I'm Crytsal Maiden and I got wrecked. My final score was 5-12-3. Dire won. I understand last hitting and denials but it's not easy in practice. I seem not to register the last hit. I also wasn't over extending either. I seemed to die when it was a team fight. Mass AoE stun, a nuke and I die.
Stream just went up, waiting on players.For Mouz vs coL http://www.gamereplays.org/dota2/live/
