His hair looks too fake in this shot. There needs to be a hairline or something. I know it is a video game but it looks too much like a video game

MLG Prizefight on right now with Na Vi against Complexity. Complexity has a very interesting hero comp right now.

I wish Pro teams rediscover Undying more. He's my favorite hero to watch even during his perma banned days of 6.59d.
Nothing beats watching him going man mode during team fights.
Hopefully we can switch around without having to be invited all the time.

Excellent hero to start with.

They should just show a youtube clip of Sing teaching 2GD how to play the hero.

SB so good at ganking even before 6 now. OoV as an early pick up is nice on him.
normal start items -> roh, boots -> perseverance, pt, dagger -> bf, buri
max shockwave and charge first
I've kind of been against that choice since the first tutorial files were revealed a while ago since he's slow, somewhat close range, and has mana issues, but I guess there aren't too many other straightforward heroes to go with.

Who wants to form scrub league?
I went Treads > Mek > MoM tonight and it worked very well then topped it off with Daedulus and was tearing it up. Only person I had trouble with was a very fed Alchy.

Pub build back in Dota 1 is Treads, Mask of Madness and a Battle fury or two makes him solo instagib an entire enemy team.
He is a good solo mid rune whorer, maybe not against TA, but his Nuke hurts against squishes, 300 damage and cost like 90-ish mana and has relatively low cooldown.
And he can't jungle.

Hm, mana issues? I almost never have mana issues with him, at least comparatively. Heroes like Bounty Hunter and and Tinker are what usually spring to mind.

Page 400, whats the ETA on OT3?
That new heal for tree ent is insanely good... You might see some new mids just because of how hard it can babysit them.
I went treads drums OoVenom then yasha into s&y into ac, maxed bash first, one point in aura, maxed charge. Worked really well but anything works well against bots. I'm sure he'll get picked sometime in the competitive scene and someone will establish a new core for him.
Also just played a game as nyx, new shield is great.
edit: Its hard to get a gauge on anything with the mm on test. I had a enemy NS rush ogre club first item. Bots on unfair might actually be a better gauge haha. Going to test out lycan in a game. I don't think I can solo rosh with the wolf hp changes so I'm going to do a helm of dominator build instead of vlads.
edit 2: anyone play around with power cogs and force staff? Will force staff still get them out of it but they'll be electrocuted, or will it push them back in and keep them in?

Damn the new icons are amazing. I guess all the old ones are gonna be re-done.
Yeah, but I don't think you're playing like someone who has never played Dota before.
A team with a Shadow Shaman on it probably expects said Shadow Shaman to have enough mana for disables and maybe a damage attack spell as well.
Someone like Shadow Demon or Lich lets you cast spells pretty frequently by comparison while you slowly realize that spells eat up a lot of mana generally.

Shadow shaman is a pretty crappy starting hero (you gotta be STYLISH to play the 'wog right) don't get me wrong, but shadow demon is probably worse.
I could explain why, but it might just be easier to point at all the gaf ihl games with SD in them, if you're familiar with those.
So far Na'Vi have used both Repel and Song of the Siren better than Complexity have. Not good omens.

They also used heal better too, lol.
Yup! That's a really great spell for Rubick to have in his pocket. That burst.
