Stacking creates more creeps at no cost, which basically introduces more potential gold and XP into the game (hopefully gold going into your carry). At higher levels of play where the smallest of advantages matter, it can be huge (a lane can be considered lost after 1 kill in pro games because they can use the XP advantage so well)

If you take a hero that gets an early Helm of the Dominator, it is standard to dominate the big Satyr (the one with HP regen) and use him to stack your Ancients over and over again (you need a Satyr specifically because he regens the damage he takes pulling the ancients). Whenever your carry is strong enough to clear the stacked camp, it can be 1000+ gold.

EG ran a play like this against Na'Vi where they stacked a ton of ancients, then had Tinker drop double March of the Machines, Dark Seer dropped Ion Shell on him, and they smoked. Step Three = Profit as everything died helplessly.

in the right hands, yes..he's a piece of shit.

there was a hilarious youtube video that sums it up well -- if anyone picks pugna or necrolyte, you're f'd. they know how to play them, and they're coming for you.

That ward is amongst the greatest counter initiation tools in the game and is particularly handy against mana intensive heroes with lots of spam potential (Invoker, Zeus, Lina) or who rely on skills without great base int (Morphling, Chaos Knight)

Also if the other team doesn't have lots of stuns, his ultimate is surprisingly useful.

I freaking hate Siren.

And I hate how when I am against her, she's a bitch-and-a-half setting up Shaman wardtraps and Enigma ultis, but when I have her on my team, the guy doesn't get his ulti until level 13.

Goddamnit I'm going to start playing Doom.

**Gredival** · 2012-07-21 21:49

Earthshaker and dunk on her. ES is getting better now that more of the image heroes are being ported.

How do you gain money as support? I dont kill and i end with a lot of assists, but i would like to have some money in the pocket ..

**ringthree** · 2012-07-24 13:51

Generally you don't get too much farm as a support if you are doing it right. But try to get farm in lane when carries are jungling, or in the jungle when carries are in lane when you aren't needed somewhere for ganks and map control. If you're in the long lane supporting, during the early stages when you pull for your carry always stack and try last hit.

It's also ok to take some farm in lane to get crucial items (like boots), and a good carry will understand that.

Still closed. People in the beta can buy keys for people for $50. I have three spares atm, but I'm not gifting to random people. PM me if you really want to get in and don't know anybody else.

Buy a beta key?

**Arkanna** · 2012-07-25 11:32

It does seem odd but it's so worth it. Dota2 is fun as fuck nowadays.

This is for a game that is going to be free to play, correct?

**Arkanna** · 2012-07-25 11:44

Correct. Like I said, it seems odd, but it could be in beta for quite a long while yet.

**Minardi** · 2012-07-25 13:02

Don't you get a ton of shop goodies with the purchased beta keys too? So you get a bunch of their "Dress up" content with it.

Edit: But yeah, I thought it was funny too!

On dota trade forums the going rate for an invite is 2 chest keys which are 2.50 each.

**Azuark** · 2012-07-25 17:02
