No it's more like my frame rate drops like its cpu or gpu lag. Everything stutters and its consistent. Its the same degree of awful lag and lasts until i restart.
Nope I have that turned off. Not sure what is causing it. Two people that I frequently play with also have the issue. I wonder if anyone else here does. It usually happens after I have already played 1 or 2 games of dota. This leads me to believe it is a memory leak since it happens over time.
You know that sounds similar to what I deal with. But I don't have v-sync on. Something else must be the cause of this.

What counters Huskar? Just got absolutely destroyed by one in a SD game (along with Riki help), but he gets picked up in pubs often too. It's awful since the closer he is to dying, the more powerful he gets, so you go in for the kill and nope, surprise rape (especially with that leap attack.)
He's pretty bad. Relies too much on teammates to be around him to get kills majority of the time. Unless you're pro like me, and go toe to toe with everyone. But not everyone is me unfortunately.
i knew you were good when you crushed bokr dk and procarbine ogre magi

It said new store items before I left the game to update D:
And Witch Doctor and Axe chests are getting old (have a bunch more of either of them than anything else). I have enough money left in my Steam wallet for a key, but none of the current chests really appeal.
YES! I always hated how I miss the voice chat because I prefer to listen to my own playlist
Oh, a Valve employee put up some info on how to make an announcer, any of you have some ideas? I am playing around with something like a unethusastic or a 90's Xtreme announcer, but nether of them seem that great to me.

Oh, and when I get home on Sunday, I am going to get back to making bowler hats for a few characters. Rubick, Pudge, Wind Runner, Enigma, and maybe Alchemist and Keeper, though I am not too sure about the last two. WR's would likely be the hardest, since I would need to splice it with her hair, and I am hoping to get an animation rigged up to the one for Enigma, that would make the hat warp around a bit.

Just bit the bullet and bought this game after playing league for a long time. Loving it so far!
I had a question though, is there anyone who has played league out there if there is something similar to smart cast?
I'm trying to use Linas Q move with out having to first select the ability and target if that makes any sense.

Thanks, my buddy has a pretty good voice and we've been throwing around the idea of making an announcer pack. This is pretty good to know if we ever get off our asses.

What's the point of adding swap if it's not yet available in SD?!
It will supposedly be added in at some point. I don't really see the point of it though, just do it the normal way. There literally is no difference in speed.
I could see why it was added to LoL, since there was both more castable spells (Almost everyone had 4 spells) and more skill shots.
There is this post on the dev boards that is supposed to have a guide on how to emulate smart cast in dota 2, but I have only glanced at it.

Yes.
How? I'm sorry, never knew you could with aa off. Is it done by pressing H?
I feel like the biggest nub right now.

Yes, but since you are mid-attack, you can simply just then attack that hero if you are also ranged. As melee, I usually only Stop spam if the target is below half HP, and/or harassment will not be severe.
Im not going to argue one is strictly better then the other, I was just saying that I dislike it for that reason. The way I list hit is stop spam, and moving a lot. It is something I got used to when turning Auto Attack off was not possible.
Lots of right clicking. Rather then auto attacking, you would be manually doing each attack. Don't forget, at the start of the game the attacks are about 1.5 seconds each, they aren't very fast.
I would be shocked if they charged. What is interesting is they will likely give out free items for those who watch in game.

That's what I'm most excited for.
Starcraft 2 could really use a spectating system as awesome as the Dota 2 one. I honestly think that the development of DotaTV is the most innovative thing to come out of this game.
I think SC2 is a bit beyond such a great system. It would be an extensive overhaul to their engine. But valve has innovated more than I have ever seen with the back end of this game. Everything it could ever need is native to the game, and its just incredible.
I think the game is starting to get a little annoying. I mostly enjoy picking a hero and playing it because that hero is enjoyable, Now though teams seem to be counter picking. Which ends up being frustrating and sucking most of the fun out of it for me personally.

Explain this?
downdowndown!
Buy $10mil worth of players, and it'll track gpms/kdrs/towerstaken/etc. from pro games and avg em out and give you a score (obviously weighing your 1 against other 1s and 5s from other 5s) and obvi whoever picks the best players gets the highest score. It's like fantasy football. Could compile a list of teams of gaffers and see who gets the highest score for fun.

I apologize if this was already discussed but anyone notice the lack of Phantom Lancer's head and Outworld Destroyer's face?
I would buy McGibb announcer pack...
But then IM counter picking, No fun!
Yea I mostly random these days or play axe. At the moment I had some fun with jug and AM. But since you end up getting counter picked it's a hard battle to win.
Also trying to learn VS, God am I bad at support.
