Who hasn't played with Slarg?

I'll go now.

Mandorallen turned back toward the insolently sneering baron. 'My Lord,' The great knight said distantly, 'I find thy face apelike and thy form misshapen. Thy beard, moreover, is an offence against decency, resembling more closely the scabrous fur which doth decorate the hinder portion of a mongrel dog than a proper adornment for a human face. Is it possibly that thy mother, seized by some wild lechery, did dally at some time past with a randy goat?' - Mimbrate Knight Protector Mandorallen.

Excerpt from "Seeress of Kell", Book Five of The Malloreon series by David Eddings.

I'm happy to play with anyone on Dota 2 to be honest.

Also, I can't wait to play Dirge. Have been getting a lot of mileage out of Zeus lately though. Aghanims and Refresher Orb = Hilarity on him.

I love playing Lycan and Luna. I've also enjoyed a few games with Undying and Disruptor. A good Disruptor is just so nice to have on a team as well.

I haven't played wisp yet, but I'm not a fan of Hard supports.

Had a really good game as Luna here

I basically have to play support all the time. If I want to play without my group of mates, I just have to deal with a team of 3+ carries with me as Venomancer/Ancient Apparition/Earthshaker, etc.

With the bracket switchup, I was moved down to Mariana Trench bracket for a reason I cannot fathom.

On my way back up to High/Very High. I love playing games with the pros.

I always play support, except for the very rare games where some people on my team manage to random supports. Pity the only carry I really know how to play is OD.

I'm not HIgh/Very high yet. I'm in Normal(AKA Mariana Trench) bracket along with 90% of the playerbase it seems.

When I get there, I'll be more than happy to show you my 5 stacked games.

Well, you mentioned that you loved playing with pros, it seemed to imply that you were High/Very high.

So who all will I have to watch out for when Lord of Avernus comes out? I only played Accursed twice and fell in love with him, so I'm not sure who to watch out for....

Ancient Apparition seemed to be a top one, until I remembered that my sheild will get rid of the No Heal Debuff.

I've never feared Death or Dying. I've only feared never Trying.

Apparently it doesn't remove the debuff accordning to a Reddit thread I read. It stops you losing life but you can't heal up either.

I might give it a shot. Is Anti-Mage any different this time around?

AM is exactly the same as in DotA 1. I don't think he's had many changes recently either.

Well, this week brings us Lanaya, the Templar Assassain.

Here is the Dota Cinema vid



I've honestly never played her, so I'm going to read up a few guides, and play a few bot rounds, before hitting her up. She seems like a pretty good Solo mid.

One of my friends is an absolute god with her. I now refuse to play against him in private games when she's available to pick.

I played a DotA 1 game today as Visage. He's quite fun, and I can't wait until he's out in DotA 2.

She's a royal pain in the arse.

Extreme range slow traps, invisible with critical hits and damage buff and armor reduction.... ugh...

in a word ,dota 1 is better than dota 2,You know evony? perfect, the evony team is now developing a new game tynon featuring city building, farm managing and quest doing, and this game is quite similiar to the browser mmo odin quest by youjoy. Well, these two games are great. just check my review or video and screenshots for these browser mmo games.

That's seven, if you count numbers as words.

Care to say why you think so?

Possibly because most Chinese can't play Dota2 yet. A Pinto you can drive is better than a Lotus you don't have.

Dota 1 is actually better.

Dota 2 is not nearly as fluid. For dota 1 players, it feels like theres always a slight delay to actions. Also, some attack animations became aweful.

DotA is definitely better.

Once a couple things are worked out, including the things Soladrin mentioned, Dota2 will be better.

In terms of production values? Not even close.

And things like attack animations are design choices. Giving all heroes zero cast wouldn't suddenly make the game better.

Well, looks like you haven't played Dota 1.

Production values mean nothing.

This has nothing to do with instant cast. Dota 2 has a tiny delay on every single action you take. For someone who's never played dota 1 this is a non issue. For everyone who has it's a giant pain in the arse. The game simply isn't as fluid.

And obviously the lack of imperative heroes is there as well.

DotA is just better. Once the delay is fixed and all the heroes are ported, then it will be superior.
