Hey guys,

What are your favourite Dota 2 heroes that are currently in the game? (So not the heroes that Valve has not yet added, like Techies... Oh the techies)

Mine at the moment are: Rubick, PL, Veno and Clockwerk, although I do play a lot of other heroes.

I generally play support and the most fun I have is Dazzle (giving your carry insane support and the shock when you kill them with Shadow Wave. I solo'd a Spirit Breaker that charged me the other night ) Disruptor (synergises well with other AOE effects like Dark Seer, sending people back to the fountain never gets old and he has a DINOSAUR) and Jakiro (just great team fight support abilities and he is a DRAGON)

Though I can't play him well, I would have to say my overall favourite is Invoker. The feeling of throwing the magical might of meteors, tornadoes and sonic booms is excellent.

Following that, I'd say Ogre Magi. Pure skill.

Atropos, the Bane Element.

He's the only hero I can play well, and he's pretty amazing with Fiends Grip and Brain Sap which at level 6-12 will equate to instant death for anyone trying to be 2sneaky4u (Riki, Bounty Hunter, Drow). Other than that I think Warlock and Dazzle are quite fun, and I want to try out Witch Doctor more.

Kunkka, Drunk Zeus, Doom and I think Enchantress (I used to hate her)
That said, I like a lot of the heroes just for the sheer amount of puns.

Chen is propably my favorite hero.

I can only really play Razor and Viper with anything even resembling skill. I can't play melee heroes for gak, and any hero that summons minions (with the exception perhaps of Engima's Eidolons, since they're fairly straightforward) requiring extra micro (such as Visage's gargoyles) just becomes a pain in the arse.

Out of Razor and Viper, my favourite is probably Razor.

Waiting for a dota thead for ages haha, been addicted for the last 2 weeks and just chalked up my 50th win online.

Favourite charecter has to be faceless void, love playing him and went like 25-2 with him in my last game. Other favs have to be Lich, Spirit breaker, phantom assassin, weaver.

If anyone says Drow or sniper I will hunt them down, they have to be the most noob hero's that you can pick.

I've seen some gak Drow's and Snipers. It's pretty easy to beat them if you know how.

(stuns, silence, inivis, it's not hard)

The problem with both of them is their right click gets crazy...
Their abilities just backs their right click up.
If you just stop their farm then it's fine but otherwise a drow and a sniper and be real painful to fight.

I'm going to revise my last post and change my favourite to Outworld Devourer.

Yep Ive seen some pretty bad droes to, but anyoone remotly competent in playing them and can farm decently is pretty strong.

You forgot Viper...

Slark, lifestealer, shadow fiend, nature's prophet.

I like kotl quite a bit and once had a very enjoyable game with elder titan after I randomed as him.

Mentioning Elder Titan to Vitruvian starts a whingefest.

Elder Titan OP.

Meepo.

Elder Titan takes OP to a new level atm.

I dont understand how?

Also what are peoples verdict on the new patch just released?

Bloodseeker can now go above the max 522 movement with thirst. Played a game and managed to get him to just over 1000 movement speed. He is now pretty ridiculous

I like seeing Broodmother more.

I also hate seeing Broodmother more.

My faves are Abbadon, Crystal Maiden and Silencer, though Lone Druid and Medusa come close

Close your eyes and you'll never see Broodmother again.

Crystal maiden and lich are my favourites atm. With the meta shift towards dual lanes and all out aggresion maiden is really really good. I like to dual lane mid to really shut down level reliant heroes like Night stalker.

Luna is really strong atm as well, with the nerfs to other heroes' night vision, she's one of the few who has the full 1800 vision both day and night, plus the subtle buff to the glaives offering much more dps now.

Cant say anything about brood as i pretty much only play cpts mode/ draft, played one game against her and now im not going to play all pick for a few months. Icefrog really needs to just remove the ability to get onto the cliffs, would sort bat and the new brood. Also, Death Prophet is fething stupid, wouldn't have thought the 10 damage buff to her spirits would have been such a big deal. apparently there was a bug where her max spirit limit was stuck at 21, now it gets to 32 so that might be it. DP needs a reowrk imo, she's probably the most dull hero to watch/play along with sniper.

Axe is so much fun. Used smoke to go invis near a team fight, waited until near then end. Then used my ult to kill 4 people in a row lol.

Then posted "and good day sir" on chat and watch them all ragequit. Best game of dota i ever played hahaha

As Lich, I was hooked by clockwerk and trapped with him in his cogs.

He died to my autoattacks. It was the funniest, and saddest thing I've seen in Dota this week.

I have had really bad experiences Vs Lich. I play clockwerk a lot, so I know his skills and how to efficiently kill people. So I hookshot kim, trap with cogs, battery assault etc..., then this AM appears, blinks into the cogs with me. Then lich decides to ult, bounces off AM, kills me, and then AM ks's me.

I am really sick of playing with Drow, Viper and RIki.

Been playing more Lich lately, love the character.

Also, my submission for Dota Fails was accepted.
