Ok. I like Nyx's buffs.

They're pretty noticeable. I like picking him when they have lots of ints, or invoker mid + enigma/enchantress jungle. Such easy $$$.

Even though the lifestealer buff seems incredibly small, I have been losing every time I play against one. Purely anecdotal experiences, but he seems really good now.
 
Man, Luna.

She's such an ass-stomper. 600 gpm without stacked ancients (because mates keep stealing them saying, "I couldn't resist...so big...")? No problem. Dom Helm, treads, RoA and bkb in 18 minutes? no problem. Manta or Shadowblade by 25 minutes? No problem. Satanic and Bfly by 35 minutes? No problem. Always the same with her.

I've only played her 15 times or so and only lost twice...both times close matches, but not quite enough help. I know she's not a broken hero (she's not picked enough at higher levels of play to be), but damn she's never out of a match, is she? I'm pretty sure Luna can start 0/7 and make up a ton of that in 10 minutes.

Anyway, is there a bigger ricer than her? Maybe an unreleased hero? (I didn't play Dota 1)

Medusa
 
Yeah, Medusa is pretty much the ultimate of ricing carries.

Expect to see exponentially more Antimages in the week that she is released.
 
Mad bad Russian on the opposite team goes 0-17-2. Gets a courier for his troubles. DAT PHANDY QUEUE.

ok wtf i was just witnissing the world's biggest comeback, we were fucking going off chops and about to pull a houdini and grab a win from outta nowhere and i just got d/c and it won't let me reconnect. NOOOOOOOOOOOO

"Disconnected from server
You must be in a lobby to connect"

Don't do this to me Gaben D':

That means the match is over.

Ah ok ty, I can live with that looks like the whole match just crashed out when I did then. There's a sharp spike of people dropping from steam just now as well so I was starting to lean to that conclusion just bummed we didn't get to pull off that massive comeback.

Yeah steam has been coughing today
 
I don't even know! I just hate it that when you KNOW you play really good and your team just fucks everything up and then YOU get flamed by the WORST player of the team with stupid comments like that.... still mad!

When I have games like that I just try to focus on mistakes I made and things I could have done better or should have predicted. Otherwise I'll just burst a blood vessel raging to myself about my shitty team.

I had a teammate who farmed solo for the entire game as Tinker, an Enigma who didn't get blink (and only ulted once or twice during the whole game) and PA who did nothing but farm and still didn't have Bfury by 40 mins in, when we eventually lost to a team me (Shadow Demon) and my lane partner (POTM) were shitting all over 2v5 until they eventually farmed to the point we couldn't fight anymore.

When I asked Tinker why he won't help in fights he insulted me and said, "I need my Dagon." I also ran into someone who claims to have played Dota for 5 years but he still insta-picks SA?

Maybe I should queue for CM games and hope to get matched with a good group of 4.
 
Good build for Nyx that doesn't involve Dagon (or not as core item)?

Hon's equivalent isn't identical but I preferred Treads -> Orchid -> Crits on Fayde when I played her in Hon. Fayde has a slow and Nyx doesn't so maybe substitute Treads for Phase. Might have to go something with stats over Crits too as being tread-less would leave you with lower HP

Maybe Phase, Bracer, Orchid, Drums. Then maybe a high end carry item, like Daedalus, or Ethereal Blade.
 
Nyx needs a Dagon because he relies purely on burst. If you're going to play him as an AGI carry then just get whatever you would on another AGI carry, as long as you realize that it won't be "good" so much as "not awful".
 
Realistically, I figure Centaur will come out today.

I think Valve are holding Slark and Medusa for the 2spooky update which will likely be next week (probably the same day as the TF2 update)
 
What am I supposed to be seeing in this steam? All I have seen so far is poor rune control.

Also, he refuses to carry a TP scroll.
 
All my hotkeys got messed up somehow. I didn't notice until I started a game, and the Lion on the other team spam unpaused every time (how can you have so many unpauses so quickly?). Fortunately the match ended like this. The Sadist buff on Necrolyte is a nice improvement.
 
Out of all the waifus in the game, you couldn't find one? ?????

Everyones so damn boring and/or annoying. I like Lina and Crystal Maiden but they're so damn squishy and I hate supporting since I always get shitty teams. I cant land anything with Miranas arrow otherwise I would like her, TA is too high tier for me, Luna is just eh, Drow and PA are 2moody4me, Brood has too many kids, yada yada

I'd play death prophet but she just never shuts up. I level up and she gives me an earful, I use her ult and she has to tell me her ult is over, I type lol in chat and she never stops laughing.

Same here, happened to everyone I know.

Same for me, thanks for bringing that up so I didn't have to find out while playing.

Hush now.


I would never mute her though.

The keybinds are completely resetting for me when I play too. I have camera controls on wasd with the spells on tab qer and everytime I start a match I have to redo it. I hope they fix this fast.
 
I like all the waifus except TA. Too trendy/high tier for me. I like Drow, CM and Lina. Luna is too much of a ricer, and Windrunner is great but not my type of support.
 
What ever they hotfixed last night has SUPER fucked the game. For the first time ever Dota 2 just crashed on me.

Edit: Oh apparently people were doging games by disconnecting before people loaded so they fixed that and broke everything else.
