How do I go about dealing with Undying?

It might be because I'm a masochist who soloqueues, but it seems like fighting him without chaining off stuns/silences perfectly to stop him casting tombstone is like going to gank Riki without dust except instead of going invisible and walking away he kills your entire team.

To top things off he's one of the strongest laners in the game and his fightwinning combo consists of pressing 2 buttons and then running around spamming Q/W whenever they're off cooldown, so it's not like there is mad micro going on to enable the slaughter.

I realise he tapers off in the mid-late game, but is there a way to deal with his early dominance other than 'play around him'?

Found out by accident when healing a teammate that Dazzle's Healing Wave demolishes Undying when he drops tombstone and a lot of zombies come out.

Focus tombstone if it is out of position, else retreat and wait for tombstone to expire and reengage. Killing undying early game is nigh impossible. Either try to gank him when he's solo or kill his squishy teammates first and try not to die, his autohit isnt that strong, and early game he doesn't have themana to spam decay, soulrip and tombstone.
 
Need more people to get Planetside and roll with our outfit, just watch out for Chair as he'll shoot anyone, also Payday.

This is pretty hilarious.

I never got a single dota key but I had a few friends nice enough to spare me 5 keys. Created 5 new accounts and gave them all dota keys.

There are people that actually believe they're the real iG members on my team.

I don't understand how levels work in this game. My friend is level 12 or something and has like 150 wins. I have 253 wins and am level 33. You have 226 wins and are level 11. Have you spent a lot of time in low priority or something?

It's very odd.

Could be that he played most of his matches before the level system came out.

A lot of wins could have happened before the XP functionality arrived and don't forget about battle points bonuses.

Eh, 3 creeps plus whatever farm you lose out on slowly trudging around the map to place the wards. Even as support thats the biggest thing I run into: they're not expensive, they just take time

Reviving usually takes longer then putting some defensive wards down.

Edit: TEST IS UPDATING :o

50MB, so not expecting much.

What's being pushed out to test right now?
Click to expand...

Not sure, patch notes aren't up, and it stopped at 40/50MB. Work faster.

Edit: Got it open, no hero. Lets see if I can dig anything up, my gut says Valve may do some new items.

Well, there is cosmetic item support for Lion now.

Austria has a server now. Yes, Austria not Australia.

Couriers now have a cosmetic item slot.
 
when people really get into pulling waves into the neutral creeps, is pulling every single wave a strategy? I haven't tested it out, but theoretically the opposing lane would lose out on all exp, and wouldn't be able to attack the tower without taking beats if you were to draw aggro on their creep wave and pull that in the jungle as well. Is this stupid?

You just need to pull your own creepwave into the jungle and then pull the enemy creepwave behind your tower to have that desired effect. Still can be counter-warded at the pull camp though, or all else failing, the enemy heroes can go looking for the stack and still get XP and last hits (or worse, kill your pulling support).

Ok, my prediction of the patch notes.

- Several Things for Slark are supposedly fixed, but aren't really.
- Servers in Austria!
- Two new League Passes
- Fix of some random bug in the game for 9 months that doesn't matter.
 
An expensive mechanical keyboard with custom keys for everything.

Fuuarrrkkkkkk got excited :(
 
Another reason to be thankful is the new Battle Point bonus you will get for playing Dota 2 games while in a party during this week. The bonus goes up depending on how many friends are with you in the party so it is time to let bygones be bygones and make those points rain.

AWWWWWW YEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
 
So like, I have Planetside.

How do I play with you nerds?

I recently got a Noppoo Choc mini with brown switches. The link is for red, I can't seem to find a brown one on amazon or newegg. There's a lot of good mech switch keyboard info around in a couple threads. I can't speak to the longevity of this as I've only had it for about a month and a half, but I really like it. I wouldn't recommend mechanical if you have roommates nearby that you could bug, they do make noise.
