The HoN/DoTA Thread

have you tried playing with people overseas? I’ve wanting to test if it is possible for someone in the P.I. to play with someone in the west without any heavy lags…

cisco_rain is my s/n in GG…

I dont like the new hero that much. Then again, i tried him only 1s and it was only upto lvl 8 because the game ended due to leavers. The new hero should have been taoron… i’m getting tired of new INT heroes.

I think mid game is when epi starts loosing it’s shit… or just as long as no body gets euls.

i just hate what they did to my spec :frowning:

is she nerfed or buffed? lvl 4 dispersion deflects 20% dmg on a 600 AOE. But it gets activated 100% of the time right? i dont see that purple wave that comes out when she disperses so i dont know if its working. Can ne1 clarify this?

Invoker… meh… Everyone I see using him ends up being a feeder so far…

Pain in the ass making 3 oblivion staffs btw… I do like that they made quarterstaff cheaper tho.

^_-;

Dang the cooldown on bottle usage!

I haven’t test this but after reading the change log for Dagger of Escape, lemme get this straight - you can’t blink until 3 seconds have passed since the last attack? Doesn’t sound like a good ESCAPE method anymore. Sounds like it’ll only be used offensively…pretty ironic to the name. Might as well spend a little more and buy eul’s to escape, unless eul’s got raped…

How is Invoker?

Invoker is ok, he used to be a lot stronger… Right now I’m seeing a lot of Lothar’s. Eul’s is expensive. I haven’t seen many people sticking with blink dagger lately…

I’m currently in love with Tinker and Dagon. I never really used Tinker much. Doing 1400 damage in under 2 seconds is fun, if they’re not dead, they’re scared and running. Pubs, anyway.

^_-;

btw new WC3 patch - now you can play without using the CD… Took them long enough, no?

^_-;

srk reading comprehension ftw

blink dagger: you cannot use this item if you have been ATTACKED in the last 3 sec

what did they do to lothars?

i played with 2 bad invokers, and 1 really good one last night. the really good one used the indiana jones and the temple of doom attack for pushes really well.

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL INVOKER.

Ok, I gotta play again just for that.

I like that indiana jones attack with the icewall attack. I throw up the ice wall behind the group during pushes and lob the jones’ attack at the creep line.

Invoker is hilarious to play, and I can see someone with fast fingers and nimble memory of keywords to really dominate.

EDIT: His QQQ (Coldsnap) is hilarious too because people don’t even notice that it’s on them.

Re-installing this shit after a good few months. No cd required + Tinker hitting air = good enough for me

Tinker used to not hit air?

Or are you talking about Techies and his mines? (I get those two confused a lot too)

^_-;

Talking about Goblin March lol.

Except… I can’t recall anything he can’t hit with them aside from magic immune stuff. Wait… that means he can hit dragons and those beast master bird thingies and couriers!

edit - The BM bird isn’t magic immune is it? I know those rez’d bats from uhh Viper? are…?

Honestly, I rarely use goblin march on heroes unless they’re pushing into my territory. It just takes too long for the little robots to do any damage. However, it works pretty well when I’m coming to gank and I set up the march behind the enemy as he tries to run away from the gank. Got a few kills that way.

^_-;

Lol, watch YellowS4 play for Goblin March 101

I want to play with you guys, but I don’t have an icon and I hate WC3 too much to sit through 25 games… is there any other way? I’m on USEast = Galactic_Dude

^_-;

Fuck that. I have to find out what all these changes are.

March and stats.

edit - amazing, first game I play, my net dc’s

Well, given Invoker’s ass stat growth (less than 2 stats per stat a level), I believe he’s going to be extremely item dependent. I mean at level 25 he only has 1300 hp, which would likely lead him to be killed easy if focus fired. His spells also cost a shit ton of mana, so without a huge mana pool and regen he’ll be out of mana fast. That’s just how I think of things, anyways.

And lol @ blink dagger being raped. Only reason to get that thing now is to use it offensively. :expressionless: I also dislike how they made it so that you can’t use your bird to place wards. Was that really necessary?

Couriers not using wards has stopped me from tp’ing and nuking from behind fountain.

So uhh, guinsoo is now a separate item without any charges like euls? I looked at the ingredients and was floored.

everyone and their mother is buying euls now

movespeed and no charges

like an intel version of lothars
