I’m excited for any ranged characters that look interesting, just because I like being flexible and WR is the only ranged character I like(morphling looks cool but I am super bad at any character that requires me to control more than one unit).
edit: Oh yeah and bat rider(7-0 with that guy!) but he barely counts as ranged, so short!
Friend randoms Warlock. The two pubs pick Razor and Anti-Mage. Friend and I have not picked, so we decide to pick Void and Sand King. Razor is a bit confused; the AM calls me really bad for picking another carry. I told him not to worry about it and went bottom with AM. For some dickish move, he decides to leave bot lane and go mid, so I’m left to fend by myself at bottom versus Clockwork and Viper. Not sure why they didn’t harrass me or even attempt to gank me, but as soon as I hit six, Warlock, SK, and I roamed and just killed everyone when our Ults were up. Team fights were completely free since I would initiate with Leap plus Sphere, Warlock would channel slow and then Ult after Sphere went down, then SK would clean up with Ult. Shit was pretty funny.
Oh yeah, and the AM that called us retarded literally did nothing the entire game but farm mid lane while the four of us pushed/ganked. Good shit, AM.
Naga Siren in DotA. Has a net move that prevents AM from blinking and her clones fuck people up FAST. Geomancer fucks up AM pretty good too early to mid game. A well-played Geomancer can be lvl 25 before AM gets to 12.
lol yeah i was about to post that the new patch is out today. Spirit breaker + Silencer. The new items from 6.73 and apparently some graphics overhaul that everyone is raving about. Also unlimited spectating is nice! that 64 cap sucked cause the good matches were always full :{
They fixed some models, new minimap,when you hit alt it shows a pixel face icon of the heroes on the map and some heroes limp and shit when they are low on hp
also apparently you can try to get a key from playdota.com… they do daily drawings if you have had an account on there. Or try to get lucky and trade someone for a key. I might take a risk and try to buy an extra key from someone :\
Right now AM is the hardest hero to gank because of his blink ability. A well-timed Silencer ult makes AM ganks have a much higher success rate. I’ve already seen it done. Hell, I’ve already done it. Used to do it all the time in the original DotA. Just need good communication with your ganking teammates.
So many awful Spirit Breakers. His bash seems to be bugged as it is hitting towers (although it doesn’t appear to be actually stunning them; not sure about bonus damage). Images bash too, but I’m sure if this works with all images of heroes with a passive bash (like Slardar) or Cranium Bashers.
