[Megathread] DotA 2

[Pickled Eyebrows]

Just saw a video on this guy. Insta locking... vs. bots.


[Yes, I am terrible at DOTA2.]

Tusk is hilarious, you should definitely play some games with him.

[Charge me Doctor]

I just wanted to add about PAs crits: heaven's halberd. It is so funny to see PA jumping on you and... doing nothing because she got disarmed and she is slowly dying because she can't instant heal herself with satanic

Too bad it does not work on bkb like abyssal

Abyssal is pretty much strictly a carry item though. HH still gives a lot of decent stats for supports.

[Longview]

For your convenience, I will list every single spell you could possibly use for this purpose.

Spirit Breaker charge (isn't helpful in this case though), Lycanthrope wolves, Weaver swarm, Spectre dagger, Mirana arrow, Storm Spririt static remnant gives flying vision (iirc), Venomancer wards, Enchantress+Chen can use neuts to scount (which isn't helpful since neutral creeps spawn at 0:30), Shadow Demon can also use disruption illusions to scout, Naga illusions, Batrider firefly gives flying vision, Furion can scout with trees and AA can scout with Ice Vortex.

March of the Machines doesn't give vision.

[Hermanni]

And some heroes can aggro the ancients on bot rune north cliff to get out of there or cut the trees or aggro the possible satyr camp on bottom cliff, or any ranged hero can aggro a possible satyr camp in the cliff above top rune!

(No but seriously, why is this discussion still ongoing?)

Vision given by Spectre dagger, Mirana arrow, and ice vortex are all puny as hell. Other than that though yeah, I guess.

Because cliffing was a very fun strat to use for everyone and in no way meant you won your lane by default.

[Lysah]

Cliffing is totally counterable, all you have to do is stay away from the river and let Rubick have all the runes.

Landing a Walrus Punch is one of the most satisfying ultimate moves in all of the ARTS genre.

Whenever I play vs Tusk I intentionally tunnel him all game (usually picking some faggot heroes like Rikimaru or BH) simply because I hate how he goes "something something punch" when ulti.

I completely agree with you. Try it with Battle Fury and/or Shadow Blade. Yes, it works.

Also, The Legend of Tusk should be watched if you haven't already. Skip to 0:45 if you just want the best part.
(Also sorry if this was linked already.)

[Hermanni]

If you ever have a moment of weakness and start to think that carry Necrolyte isn't the wickedest thing around, look up game 140508391 and skip to 26:15 replay time (not game time.) What the shit, Anti-Mage?

[Longview]

Dagon+Scepter is pretty legit on necro

[Scummer]

I've got 11 keys currently, if anybodies interested just send me a PM.

guys talking bout tusk on dota2 - i haven't played him on any game since he was added but i got some match against him. how's tusk on the game? i'm thinking he's a bit stronger when played on dota2 because i didn't notice him on Dota1 having some in-game impact.
