Pucks actually a decent offlaner as well because of all the escapes he has.(at least at my mmr 2700) i've had alot of fun hitting 6 then the mid coming up and going after the other teams carry. I really like playing bristleback offlane but you actually have to be really careful with him early on...

If your not having fun you absolutely should take a break. I had to not to long ago bc I was getting to frustrated constantly, or maybe try a new hero in unranked? That way your not as worried about rating and more about learning the hero

Penance, anytime I play ember I just try to wait until you see that flash hitting either the hero you want to chain or the creep next to it... I need to stop watching n0tails stream. Every time I watch him play meepo it makes me want to try him then I go into a bot game and get destroyed lol.

notail,fly, and H4nni are playing together on N0tails stream pretty funny listening to them trash on each other

I like watching merlini especially when he's drafting.. N0tails the other one that I like watching but your not going to learn much. Still its entertaining as shit and it's also almost a guarantee that someone else with fnatic will be playing with him at one point or another.

just drafted this priest deck... first ever arena draft so just tried to use the draft tiers sheet someone linked.. thoughts, or advice?

notail - YouTube N0tail got hacked while streaming. I was watching when it happened and he handled it alot better then I would've

so who wants to develop a program for me (not a computer program but a training one) that will give me something to focus on to get better at this game again. I'm not sure what exactly has happened but since i fell from 2900+ to 2500 i just seem to keep playing worse and worse and its so...

Your probably better off having to wait until tomorrow last patch people were regularly getting dc'd constantly.

When do you all play captains pick? I did the same thing where i got ranked at 2700 got up to just under 3000 then fell to 2500 and now i just bounce between 2500 and 2700. I know some of its my fault but every time i've played captains draft recently people just piss and moan about the heroes...

I tend to cut people a lot of slack in captains mode if the carries fail at last hitting because honestly last hitting consistently is seriously one of the hardest (imo) technical skills to master in this game.. I don't know why but I'm hit or miss all the time last hitting it's embarrassing...

I fail more often then not when i go after mids but like i said im just starting to learn the roaming "lets fuck people up" side of supporting. I've had some epic deaths though from misjudging things. I think in my first 500 games I may have bought all of 2 smokes and maybe blocked a pull camp...

Im finding more and more on your "nuker" supports that this is so key to being able to win games. The other thing to consider is grabbing a fast mek on this type of hero means a better chance of winning those early team fights which will in turn set up your carries to snowball. By the time you...

How do those open leagues work? Do you have to have a team? how does this all work

Teck I wouldnt be adverse to grouping I was almost 2900 but now down to 2600 due to one hell of a losing streak ive been on. Kind of an off topic question but I got a new laptop (hp) for Christmas and ive been trying to set it up to play dota but cant figure out how to turn off the short cuts...

I just went through that. Started off around 2750 worked up to almost 2900 then fell to 2600. I understand losing streaks but im playing with people who say wr is worst hero ever or 3 people who build vlads and say they built it for themselves. I know im not all that great at this game but I...

All pick... I probably should try captain pick lol I think I got to the point where I couldnt believe it would get worse and it did

I usually only play 7 or 8 heroes and of those only np puck and clock arnt supports. Its more other lanes feed horribly or we get a rambo or 2 that try to solo the other team or pick bad fights like by radiant ancients when the other team has veno or tide or any big teamfight ult. I was playing...

I just went 1-11 in ranked games. Was right at 2900 down to 2600. Im not even sure what happened... guess I need to find a hero I can play really well and take over a game.

Solo que for me always seems to be 50-50 im either getting a fun close game or im playing with the people that fit every bad stereotype this game has to offer. Im not sure whats worse the guy screaming at everyone for sucking or the unintelligible gibbering of some foreigner who pings the shit...

On the flip side of that I get really frustrated with people who farm past their window to win. Played a game where they had an am and our best carry was a jug. He kept insisting on farming even making a comment "its ok am doesn't have anything" long story short he kept farming am came on line...

Linkins you're right about. I think I was building it out of habit instead of when needed. Puck is so good at getting out of trouble and because of that I didnt realize you dont always need something like it. Ill have to try building a dagons. Usually avoid it because I think dagons has a rep...

Not entirely. I like rat dota but I cant stand alliance. I think its bc loda annoys the hell out of me. On an unrelated note ive been playing a ton of puck and besides wr hes my favorite hero but what do you guys build after blink dagger/Linkins to go into the late game? I feel like im...

In this case I can't agree with you. In regards to the force staff to circumvent the high ground they needed 3 plus force staffs a sheep stick plus the coordination to time the pushes, get the sheep ulti combo off then the rest of the team had to get in position bc the guy force staffed was...

i don't think people should be complaining about force staff being used to its max. It's not like say the pudge fountain hook or other things that technically work because of a bug that wasn't fixed.. (having said that i think removing the fountain hook removed something that was awesome to...

The announcers did a great job filling in the downtime but my god. Dk just doesnt make many mistakes do they?

Well that was anti climatic. Any chance speed beats dk?

Wanna beat dk why not 2 divines.... my god

This should be an exciting playoff shame dk navi are playing each other early but at least the semis should be close and ill say it, if not navi winning im pulling for sigma.int. I like dk just dont want them to win mlg.

Dendi on windrunner was just amazing. Kind of disappointed that it seems like 80% of the crowd is pro dk. Random question time: what kind of reputation does notail have? The second and third streams you have to stand behind the players and watch over their shoulders and he's stood out as pretty...

The wierd thing is I figured id be seeing some combo of dk alliance navi in the finals and now theres an outside chance of a sigma dk final...

I want to like alliance. They're a good team and rat dota doesnt bother me but theres something about the players that I just cant get behind them

Just to add to that it wasnt even the crowd chanting it. I was sitting pretty much in the middle and didnt hear anyone yelling that. I suspect it was only one or two idiots yelling it. I don't know why hes exaggerating it.

Ahh fuck I hate messing those up i'll use my phone as an excuse. So apparently the plushies are an extremely hard to get item. They have limited amounts at specific times and only 1 per person... on a side note and kind of cool dendi's been roaming around signing autographs and just mingling...

The problem for newer or weaker players is often their not going to know why they got shit on like that. It could've been the hero matchup skill factor positioning or a myriad of things that unless you have some one very knowledgeable with you to point out what happened and why not only will you...

I thought I read they wernt going to have any.if they do that means as soon as the doors open (I didn't get the vip ticket) ill have to head over there. If im able tp get my hands on any ill let you know I dont mind

Im heading to columbus tomorrow and since ive never been to an event like this figured id ask anyone who has for recommendations. Are there things I definitly should check out? (Other then the matches of course) anything to avoid? Also theres a couple things in the secret shop id like to grab...

Im starting to really enjoy clinkz I just wish his animation wasnt so slow. http://dotabuff.com/matches/368851084 Not a clinkz game but decided to try a dagon riki build with alot of success

Two More Mistborn Novels if im reading this right 2 more alloy books plus another 6 in the mistborn world along with the stormlight series and other works... and he wants to finish alot of those projects in the next 5 years..... I cannot believe how spoiled we are in the fantasy science...

I meant that you can't dissasemble them any more was nice to grab them for laning then turn them into something else... was something i liked doing with lycan and some other melee carries as to the jungling then if i'm reading what you said right a. i need to learn pull throughs for stacking...
