anyone knows how to change the shop ui to display all the items without text?

Top right option in the Shop menu.

Hi guys. I now have access to the beta but I've never played this type of game before. Is there a user friendly newb's guide to help me suck less?

the short answer is no, try and find a friend who can teach you is my advise. Also play vs. bots to learn how to use the shop and things like that.

There is a little grid button in the top right corner.

For the basics I guess

Story of SS this game :

1. Start at full mana.
2. Bounces around to get some charges.
3. End up going too hungry and head in 3-4 heroes by himself while running out of mana.
4. Dies.

smh, smh

 

[ksan]

Kunkka so stronk.

Probably the best hero in the game

Now that the game is done, Kunkka was a great choice against SS.

X marks the spot > SS's Ult.

Huh. Good thinking by Fear. Here I was thinking he was straight up trolling.

 

[mr. puppy]

i can't believe Phase Shift is now free and they gave him another projectile dodge for some fucking reason just to piss me off. Puck doesn't even die anymore.

For specific heroes, look up guides on playdota and then watch the corresponding Purge plays with ..... to get a basic understanding of how the hero plays.

Also, if someone has a good positioning guide/micro'ing guide, please throw it out there as I'm interested in that as well..

 

[Guesong]

So they're banning Shadow Demon everytime today, but Windrunner mostly always go free.

Why!

SNIP...

And after you've finished the 783 hrs. correspondence course you are ready and certified to start playing against bots ^.^

uh? I didn't write "OH NOES LYCAN TOO STRONK" or "HOW DO I COUNTER HIM OMG" just saying that he's pretty popular.
learn to read, kid.

this is normal for any new hero.

 

[Guesong]

Leshrac/Dark Seer on EG again.

Will Kunkka return? Stay tuned!

 

[HK-47]

There was a pro Kunkka!? What match up?

EG vs PR on joinDOTA earlier today, played by Fear.

 

[Finalow]

this is normal for any new hero.

nope, didn't see in every game one SD or one Bane etc. at least I didn't.

oh damn, I missed it. where can I watch the game? Can't find it on you tube.

 

[Tenck]

I did, which is pretty sad since most of the terrible people pick them.

Wait for the VOD on JoinDota.com

 

[Lirlond]

That's because SD and Bane are harder than right click > win

 

[Insured]

That's because SD and Bane are harder than right click > win

If that were true, why would so many people pick Invoker?! I think it has more to do with the public perception of what is "imbalanced" and "easy to win with" because winning is obviously all that matters :l

 

[close to the edge]

So much trash talk in this EG vs GoSu game... haha

 

[Guesong]

Ah hahaha!

Eat dirt and die, Bulba.

Trashtalking in tournaments? Not cool.

Said trashtalker getting suddendly overwhelmed JUST after having trashtalked and now the game is totally turned around? Best thing ever.

 

[Ultrabum]

Anyone watching eg vs. its gosu, so much hate between bulba and demon/fear. They are always bming eachother on fears stream too.

 

[Balehead]

Haha, yup. Backfired hard.

 

[Insured]

I really dislike people who trashtalk in competitive games in general, but in clashes like this it sure makes for more entertainment :>

 

[Artanisix]

Invoker is very easy to be useful with just with emp/nado/cold snap. In low level games this is all you need, and Bane and SD are more challenging than shooting a 3k range tornado and following with cold snap.

 

[Guesong]

Why is that throne still standing.

Why EG, WHY.

*naibilter*

 

[Togglesworlh]

nope, didn't see in every game one SD or one Bane etc. at least I didn't.

That's because Bane sucks, and SD takes a modicum of skill.

If that were true, why would so many people pick Invoker?! I think it has more to do with the public perception of what is "imbalanced" and "easy to win with" because winning is obviously all that matters :l

EMP/Tornado, insta-win, easy, supa-easy. In other words, yes, what you said also applies.

 

[Ridli]

Amazing game, so much back and forth.

 

[Schweinehund]

If it's worth anything my best pub stomp hero is ursa.

I don't really play invoker and I haven't touched lycan yet.

Ursa is easy to win with and easy to use, especially if you have a rhasta or lion on your team, or veno.

[PillowKnight]

THAT MANTA , epic games this week.

 

[Guesong]

So Gosu had it and then threw it.

Then EG had it in their mouth and threw it.

So Gosu wins.

Meh. Big meh.

 

[Balehead]

"go back to china" to wrap things up.

 

[JustinBB7]

Another hour long amazing semi final haha. Was great.

 

[Artanisix]

Awesome game. As much as I love Fear and Maelk, I was kinda rooting for ItsGosu because Demon is a complete prick if you've ever played with him in games before.

 

[Ultrabum]

cant wait to hear the trash talk from bulba on fears stream later, hes gonna bring this up everytime eg gives him shit now .

 

[Dina]

Even if they are friends and the smacktalk was friendly banter, I was rooting for ItsGosu at the end of it all.

GB2China!

 

[Earthstrike]

Is there anyway to set my speels to smartcast like in league of legends?
