DOTA 2

Not sure who that guy is, but I liked his AA guide. Lots of good insight on one of the harder supports.

His Alchemist guide has some cool tricks in it too.

He is one of bigger casters, though I haven't seen him casting as much recently.

This is how you play vs 3 carries. If there is one thing russians know, then it's how to push.

Luckily they gave up way too many kills because that PL was getting good xp the whole game and could have possibly carried that game.. Highest xp/min even without many kills and a decent amount of last hits.

He was like the only guy pushing other lanes while the rest of their team tried to defend their towers, which seemed like a weird choice vs our 5 man doto.

Sounds like a decent enough plan to me. PL is worthless at defending pushes until he gets his Radiance, at which point he suddenly becomes very good at it. Having him push lanes hoping to finish the Rad before you can take too many rax sounds like a decent plan. Medusa could have done it instead, but she is better at defending pushes with low farm and is much more vulnerable when split pushing.

Well, they called gg when we got their first rax at like 20 minutes, which is when most of their team stopped playing to win, except for PL

Why does this game feel so clunky? Its like I cant get my timing for last hit at all.

Hero animations vary greatly... it depends who you were trying to last hit with.

Definitely feels better with time. If you're coming from HoN/LoL then it'll feel even more clunky.

Anyone learning the game and wants to play some games vs bots? Or is it better to start playing with other players right away?

Learn a few heroes you want to play, then play with humans. I wouldn't waste a lot of time on bots other than just to figure out the very basics of gameplay and the heroes you want to play.

I wouldn't learn every hero vs bots, just some heroes that really interest you.

Just remember, even if you're extremely skilled, people will talk shit whenever you have a bad game. So roll with the punches and keep playing.

I wouldn't mess with bots outside of learning some of the more difficult heroes (Invoker, Meepo, anyone with micro really). Instead, read a few beginners guides to get to the point where you at least are aware of things like lane control, warding, runes, stacking and so on. Don't worry about knowing exactly where to ward, or how to stack etc, but know it exists so you can notice it in game and learn. Then, dive in. Worry about not dying first, last hitting second, and killing third.

Expect people to be assholes sometimes and deal with that as you will. Saying that youre new and asking someone to explain works sometimes, makes em yell more other times.

Expect russians

Words of wisdom.

It doesnt feel clunky by accident or because its designed wrong. It's designed specifically and intentionally to work like that. Sometimes its quite a challenge to do it at lvl 1 with certain heros.

If anyone still needs an invite to this, I have a few spare I'd be willing to give away to any rerolled members. PM me if you'd like one.

Also have 6 invites if anyone needs.

Lol @ Na'vi forcing that repick.

Dendi smash. Don't you have to have a pretty big plan if you give away Batrider? Hero is so strong.
