That Spectre is fucking farmed too, wtf how did you kill her?

**BlackMoomba** · 2012-03-04 22:49

Specter was off farming another lane, while Sniper and I were baiting another lane for a fight, then Storm, AA and DK ambushed her.

**Vandole** · 2012-03-04 22:50

70 minutes in and dire has four carries, one of which being a farmed as fuck dragon knight didnt hurt i bet

Four carries who make DarkSeer's ult extremely potent, combined with the grapples from Bane and Pudge (and no Linken's/BKB on the Dire side) and Spectre's reflect killing anyone that tries to kill her? There's a reason Moomba is surprised.

Important 6.74 changes (will be implemented in Dota 2 eventually)

Darkseer Ult Nerf: Illusions take 300% damage (normal for an illusion; DS illusions took 250%). Aghanim does not allow ally illusions, instead Scepter will increase the illusions' damage (to 140%).

Invoker Nerf: EMP will not drain mana from units still in the air of a tornado, so you must precisely time the combo now. Also will not hit units in the air from Eul's Scepter.

Puck Nerf (for baddies) Buff (for pros): Phase shift no longer has an autocast but no manacost. Potentially you can cancel out all autoattacks directed at him in lane if you have good timing and control.

Also Nerubian Assassin's scarabs removed and he gets Chitinous Plating back (old skill). It's been changed to prevent and reflect 100% of damage directed at him for 4.5 seconds.

The EG fellow with Tobiwan was just commenting on DS' ulti needing a nerf in the mouz game (I forget the other team).

Anyone ever play Medusa? I'm wondering how often she's used, if ever.

If you're talking about Dota2...she's not in it yet.

Nah, not Dota2, I've played about 30~ games thus far (all AP/APEM) but none have had medusa in it. I don't see people using her -- is she a "weak" hero?

**Rivero** · 2012-03-10 19:22

She's "weak" cause she's super late game and hugely dependent on farm. It's not really a weakness one can exploit in a pub but it's more-so weak in reference to her viability in competitive play.

**Gredival** · 2012-03-10 21:57

Medusa as she exists currently is a lot like Spectre. Once she gets to a certain point in farm, she becomes virtually unstoppable. The issue is getting to that point. In pubs where people usually won't push as aggressively as they should, it is easy to get to that point. In competitive games though, pro teams all know how to play the push meta-game effectively to win the game before a carry like that is an issue.

Void, Anti-mage, Syllabear and Lycan will remain the favored hard carries of the game for the foreseeable future, with Mirana, Dragon Knight, Chaos Knight, Skeleton King, and Naix in tow. (Terrorblade too probably if he ever makes it back into Captain's Mode.)

Anyone else having trouble downloading their latest update? Mine is stuck at 94mb and it won't go passed it.

**Gredival** · 2012-03-11 03:00

Playing on my troll account with Clinkz to unwind. These people on the bottom bracket... just wow.

This Nightstalker asked me if it was nighttime... and was butthurt and asked why the community was so mean rofl. And we still won the game 3v5.

Hell yes! I got a dota2 invite!

My friend says dota2 is much more favorable to my...skill level...(aka tons of noobs online). Can't wait, I hope my comp can run the game well...

**Vandole** · 2012-03-15 15:16

got real drunk last night, and decided it was time to troll with necrolyte. convinced them to give me a solo lane, had mek by 8 minutes cause the team was smart and ganked(took kill with Q to get my mek asap) then told them to push for a win since i have double heal. that worked pretty well, but we noticed we all had about 3k gold to spend so we didnt take a rax just yet...

i was about 5/1 then.. THEN I GOT DAGON. necrolyte combo then dagon 1shot their entire team, then the team would give me all my mana back. as a joke they said don't upgrade boots cause we'll protect you so you dont gotta run away looooooool. i would have been 11/1 but i dived the pool to kill their shitty OD twice cause he wouldnt stfu

**Tyr** · 2012-03-19 22:28

Good Lord - the competition is worlds apart between Dota2 and the original...i'm so happy to be amongst my noob peers, it really helps the learning curve.

Anyone want to play sometime? My steamid is moodgravy.

**Tyr** · 2012-03-28 18:10

Are all the Dota1 heroes (with exception to maybe the newest wave: Ember Spirit, Legionnaire Commander, Sky Mage) going to be ported into Dota2?

Also, does matchmaking take into account your wins/games-played? Or is it anyone available?

All heros, including the ones you excluded, will be ported to Dota2.
