Bone fletcher was damn fun, back when I was playing DotA.

Nevermore

my fav hero is invoker because of his huge variety of spells (and meepo but he hasn't been released in dota 2 yet)

I love playing as Jakiro, those fire spells kill so quickly. I also like playing Viper and Axe. Oh, and Chen, but I am still terrible at using him.

He might be coming out quite soon I heard.

I'm not suicidal enough to play a carry, so I stick with support. My main characters are Dazzle, Omniknight, Doom Bringer, and Sand King.

Too bad they are too dependent on their team (aside from doom bringer). More than the average character.

Invoker is out he has been out for awhile now they just released BrewMaster
if anyone ever wants to play add my steam name HeWhoSmokesBitches1337

Jakiro is boss for taking out towers

When I'm not playing support, Bane
When playing support (80% of the time), either Crystal Maiden or Witch Doctor.

I play Bane because he was the first DotA hero I was really good with and I liked his variety of disables (sleep and ult).

As for the support heroes, I play CM because she has what most teams need (slow, disable, mana regen and an AoE nuke). Witch Doctor is similar and I like his Maledict and ulti so that's why I also choose him.

I was actually talking about Meepo. I heard he is close to being released.
Which is gonna suck cause he was annoying in Dota 1

so far my best are Lina, Skelton King, Sand King, Axe

TINY :D
Avalanche + Toss = 2ez ganks.


Also Invoker and Faceless Void.

TINY IS THE MAN.... well rock

and FV is awesome but can really mess up team fights but same time can carry all day i went 25/3/14 in a game with him once but everytime i play him now i lose =(

Hah, not if I'm using Omniknight. Just yesterday, I rendered a tiny useless in my lane. Gotta love that repel.



True, I've seen FV mess up team fights quite a few times. Especially when there are a lot of ranged and spell casters. It's very useful when the enemy is hugging a tower because it catches everyone and it deactivates the tower as well.

Now you don't want to fuck with an Enigma with blink dagger. Dam, they are annoying.

I have 6 5 bar heroes on the performance tab and another 8 that are over 4 bars (not saying too much, but it is a decent way to see how you perform with certain heroes).

Those heroes include: Balanar (NS), Leshrac, Death Prophet, Rhasta (SS), Sand King, Wind Runner, Ancient Apparition, Beast Master, Queen of Pain, Axe, Mirana, Razor, and Lycan.

Out of all of them though I would say that Beast Master is my all around favorite to play (roughly 20 games played with him so far) and I also love Lesh and DP since they fill the same roles essentially, as well as WR in a solo lane because her animation makes it super easy to last hit/deny with and I ball hard with shackles. Windrunner and AA are my favorite supports. Invoker is the next hero I really want to get good with.

I'm really excited for the new patch though because Phantom Lancer was one of my absolute favorites from DOTA 1. I got the beta really late compared to my friends (about a month ago), but so far I have about 210 games played with about 55-60 hours/week of play.

Goin' hard in the paint yo, probably going to start streaming this summer.

Any tips for a beginner? I got a beta invite to this about 2 weeks ago and while I do enjoy the game I'm absolutely horrible at it.

Enigma is soooooo annoying if he is good that ult is worse than FV imo lolol

i think Phantom Lancer is already out or they just put his info out in hero slect

if you really wanna learn do what i did watch top matches on Dota or go to twitch.tv and watch some really good players on there sometime top players will even teach you but sometime they ask for money alot of people have been doing that but mostly in SC2
