To be honest, i'm sure a majority of the people who post in this thread agree with your favored game .

Congrats to trying it! That alone takes courage (especially when knowing how harsh the community can be to newcomers). Always remember to mute the annoying trolls by clicking on the speaker icon next to their name on the scoreboard and follow that up by reporting them for their abuse.

Also, THANK YOU so, so very much for buying a courier. It's a little thing that goes a hell of a long way.

I just do what TB does just ask what lain i must go and there i go,then there pretty nice it seems but off course trolls and people who are harsh will be reported.

Also i turned off auto attack and seeing the animations to last hit on of those creeps. And killing them feels good. But to me killing a enemy player feels even better,though i did not kill mutch but a few.

It was good to feel alive when you wipe the floor with a few haha way cooler then in say a shooter. Yeah courier is a need,more people need to do it.

Oil is a fantastic spell though. Even just two or three charges gives a very good damage boost and can make enemies think twice about being too aggressive or getting too close to you. And using Firefly can greatly deter enemies from going after you, even if you're low on HP. Basically it's hard for Batrider to land kills on his own, but it should be even harder to kill Batrider for most other heroes. Most kills I ever get in early game are due to opponents trying too hard and sitting in fire when they really shouldn't, either due to them chasing me or my lane parter while they're being oiled down. Lasso is not really a factor unless my lane partner has a good stun as well.

Wait wait, Batrider is one of the best solokillers early in the game if you're solo mid. You can pretty much stomp heroes without an escape mechanism at level 2 with just some stacks of napalm and a firefly. I'm not talking about worthless heroes either, but something like an exort Invoker or a Shadow Fiend. When you get lasso if you manage to get a couple of stacks of napalm up beforehand you should easily kill your lane opponent if you use all your spells correctly (including the repositioning of your flamebreak).

dded Medusa!

GAMEPLAY
- Witch Doctor: Fixed Aghanim's Death Ward attacking Familiars and other psuedo heroes.
- Doom: Scorched Earth now only applies damage from Doom himself, not all the units affected by his aura.
- Pudge: Fixed being able to get units stuck using Refresher.
- Keeper of the Light: Fixed Recall interaction with non-hero units.

UI
- Added a Haste button to the courier HUD element.
- Added Mid Only game mode for private lobbies (disables other lanes and allows the same hero to be selected).
- The Announcer Share dialog has been replaced with a Shared Content dialog.
- Added a badge to the top bar to count the available shared items.
- If shared content is available in a game, a message is now printed pregame.
- Added Balanced Shuffle button to non-tournament private lobbies.
- Added All Chat private lobby option for enabling voice chat among all players.
- Fixed "Equip" appearing in the right click menu for some chests.

AUDIO
- Fixed hearing the wrong announcer after equipping a new item in the loadout.
- Fixed bugs with muting cobroadcasters causing other sounds to be muted.

BOTS
- The bots are now less likely to push with more heroes than what they deem necessary (less 5-man Dota). Probably needs some tuning.
- Made bots slightly less self-concerned when considering defending an ally. Also made them more likely to jump in if they have a slow or stun.
- Bots that are capable of jungling during the laning phase may now do so.
- If purchasing an item from the secret shop would complete an item, desire for going there is now increased.
- When their next item is purchasable, their desire to farm is significantly reduced.
- Fixed bad tuning that was causing bots to almost never farm lanes.
- Improved bot responsiveness to pings on Roshan.
- Bots are now less likely to assume that humans will purchase wards.

Can't tell you how many times I've been cut off to the load screen at the end of a game. Very nice.

Kinda happy about the courier haste button on the hud. One less thing to select the courier for. Now gimme a send to secret shot button and I'm set.

What exactly does this mean? Does it automatically rearrange and balance the teams using the hidden MMR?

Some really great quality of life changes in this patch. SF vs SF 1v1 mid lets go.

 

[HK-47]

I rarely come across people that hit the repick button after randoming a character they either don't want to play or don't know how to play. Most people just try to "tough" it out or throw a freakin tantrum b/c no one else wants to swap (had a guy abandon the game because he randomed CM and no one wanted to swap- went on a cursing tirade for like 5 min before he left)...

Id be giddy as a school girl if I randomed CM

If there's no banter between her and DP, I'll be so disappointed.

Just tried Drow Ranger and Bloodseeker. Drow Ranger was ok, the range on that one is really nice. Bloodseeker was amazing, after some a nice player pointed out that I shouldn't put the Q spell on enemies. Guess I should read these tooltips a bit more carefully

Well, you SHOULD put the Q spell on enemies if it's a caster. Someone who has devestating spells. Don't put it on their carry, but put it on yourself after you casted your ultimate and the enemy can't do shit.

Actually it depends....you want to silence casters but not use it on characters with high base attack damage...

You should use Bloodseeker's Q on an enemy spellcaster, but not on their big guy who's doing all the damage.

First game as Spectre. Crazy how squishy I was early to mid-game. Even after I had gotten my radiance up I still didn't feel like I was contributing much until I got 1-2 more big items.
Needless to say, once I got a couple damage items up I was wrecking shit.

Yeah, I've never really seen a Spectre carry, what is it that makes her so potent?

She spreads rad damage and mana burn all over the place and she kills you as you kill her.
