nice info, keep it up!

My favorite role is ganker and my favourite hero is lion or maybe sniper. I really like the suprise effect when sudenly attacking from the fog of war in forrest. I also like to overextend sometimes and try to gank where they dont expect it deep into their side. It doesnt always work out nice but its great fun

My favourite role is playing the ganker. My favourite hero however is Meepo. I love Meepo because playing Meepo is so micro-intensive that the fact it is one of the toughest heroes to play gives me a sense of satisfaction when i win using Meepo

Edit: Can't wait for meepo to be added into dota 2

I love playing support Rhasta or Lion. Being able to completely stop ganks and to gank like crazy are prob some of the best moments while playing. You know you did good when you kill 3+ heroes without losing a single teammate. :D

My favorite role to play is a support pusher. And with that my favorite hero is Chen.

With the ability to create early lane control by ganking on level 1 with a good creep you'll always keep them on their toes. Making use of the jungle to level allows of a gpm that Chen can use to get his early pushing items/courier upgrades/wards. Chens APM requirement is what makes him a very fun and challenging support hero to play. Checking the map all the time to support with a heal, porting back allies, stacking ancient camps with a creep - scouting with a creep, you name it and Chen can do it! Chen also makes Lich a bit sad and Enchantress a bit happy.

Supporting a carry that knows how to maximize his GPM is one of the coolest things I like to do in DotA. Creep pulling for him, auto attacking allied creeps with one of Chens creeps to slow down a lane. Pushing lanes when I hit 7 to get some early tower kills/forced TPs allows my carry to farm even more relaxed - might even do a solo rosh attempt if the enemy does not ward correctly - this allows for a great gold advantage which can lead to a momentum.

These are some things I really like to do.

Read your first DotA post and this one - just now. Seems like your really going for it xD. Loveit.
Also followed you on twitter my name there is scheefe aswell.
Your hero is standing at a bad posistion and deserved to die.

I like to play Ganker or support.

Favorite Ganker : Mirana. You ride a fucking white tiger. On good days, you hit all your arrows and get this feeling of being 1337. On bad days you get flamed to death by your teammates.



Favorite Support : Rylai. Because I love being the ward bitch, cutting my arms wide open for my team. I love to transform the minimap into a Christmas tree because of all my wards. And I feel like Rylai is perfect for that (imba aura) plus you can hide in the shadow with 10hp, start your ulti and kill the void who was chasing you.

Interresting Blog.

My favourite Hero is the Tinker. Back in the days (v6.37 yayy) it was the Hero i started with. Still have the Replay of my first online win haha (v1.20) After having read the legendary Virot2 guide, i appreciated that Hero even more.

Thing is: you dont have to limit yourself to one Role with him, and you have high damage spells right from the start.

Want to be a Ganker ? Np, run arund and lazorrr them to death.
Want to be a Pusher ? Np, tp around and push with March of the Machines and Shivas (any creepwave gone in less than 3 seconds anywhere on the map anyone ?).
Want to be a Carry ? Np, farm yourself a double (or tripple) Manta and be an unstoppable force on the Battlefield.
Want to be a Support ? Np, Hex & Rearm (aka Permahex) is more Support than any other Disabler can archive.

As the Game progresses, you often have Travels, Hex and either Manta or Shivas (or both) anyway, and the Enemy will throw everything they have to stop you :D Too bad BKB cant be refreshed anymore though, it was quite the literal definition of imba :D

Btw: i have backups of the best Tinker games ever (Tinker_Impossible_Victory.w3g, Tinker_with_Manta.w3g and Tinker_Epic.w3g, the Virot2 guide Replays) if someone wants them (needs WC3 v1.20 & Dota v6.20/v6.32b)

I really like playing carry heores. I find them so much fun, and raking up the kills is fun as heck.

Also because your playing carry sometimes people don't expect a lot in pubs from you. so you can essentially screw around and nobody is going to care. At least thats in my experince because I never really took the time to learn everything about dota. so I was always lost in the confusion

I like to play support, it really feels like you are actaully helping your team to victory. Too bad most often only the carry gets credit for the win :/

Favorite hero have to be Earthshaker, nothing is more satisfying than blocking an enemy in a trap with fissure or blink ulti right in a enemy group that annihilates them.

I play with some friends, we aren't very good or confident, but almost every night, we get on to ventrillo, and play a bit of Hon. My favourite role to play is the initiation, it requires that I take some sort of leadership role on the microphone, I have to make judgement calls of when the team as a whole should attack, some times its nerve racking, I just can't find the right opening, the right place to be, and when I charge into battle, headlong leading my band of chums, I'm the first to die, and then the rest of the team proceeds to shuffle off this mortal coil, but then there are sometimes, when everything works together, like a well oiled machine, I blink into the middle of their team, sandking's ulti pulsing with the magic glow of imminent death, everyone else on my side playing their part, slowing, stunning, disabling and attacking, and the entire enemy force disappears like a whisper in the wind.
And like when I play SC2, when my build flows perfectly, everything running into the next action, as if my victory is fate, it is more beautiful in HoN, because I was the one, screaming on the mic, "GO NOW!", starting that chain of events which led to five people working in harmony, resulting in destruction and devastation.

So if it wasn't clear :D
My favourite hero is Magmus/Sandking.

Favorite is ganker, although I'm often forced to play carry as there are so many noobs and I don't trust players I don't know from earlier games or from competitive gaming.

My favorite carry would probably be Razor, loves stacking up movement on him to be able to enter and escape combat quickly, depending on situation and especially HP

Favorite ganker would be sandking, I love that hero! Great initiate with ulti+blink and great stun for ganking early/mid game. As i've played a lot of times with Mania, I've firsthand experience with his awesome SK, so getting training from the best

I'm such a coward so I love playing heroes with stealth abilities. Like Riki and Gondar. Sure they are fragile - but your opponent never knows if you are missing from your lane. And that's when the ganking begins! I love getting a good start and making my opponents angry at eachothers.

I played alot of support back when Dota was on wc3. my favourite heroes are Slayer and Lich for their mindblowingly cool ultimates and their poweress during early - mid-game. Some times i would stray and play more focused support like Purist Thunderwrath.

Down the line i turned to Witch Doctor mass wards and heroes like Lion /Leshrac / zeus / Ezalor and Krobelius.

Later in my life when it got a tad more serious and some mates wanted to form a clan. I mainpicked DOOMBRINGER alot! Something very satisfying with devour, LVL? (usually we could kill anything as we dinged lvl 3) and an ultimate that silenced and did massive damage that attracted me immensely to the hero. It was like the first strength hero i felt was tailor made to suit me. It was everything i ever wanted in a hero. Supreme peed on demand, nice damage if your targets was on the correct levels and guaranteed gold in the early lane phase regardless of what you faced up against..


and for pubstomping it was Pudge, Nightstalker or Bone clinz, weaver, nerubian assassin and Rikimaru but that was mostly because the other team had lightweight heroes and my team had support already. I did play with other heroes too but support or tanky champions that might not get the kills have always been my mainpicks.

My answer will be
in the form of a Haiku.
Haikus are the shit.

My favorite role is
the pusher so I can be in
the heat of battle.

My favorite hero
is BroodMother because it
is a boss pusher.

Ok, for real now, I like BroodMother because I like the sort of game-spanning role that a pusher plays and the BroodMother is perfect for that. I can constantly be in the action and getting gold. It's partially because I'm not as experienced with DotA as some others, and this role is the easiest for me to fill while still being satisfying to play and useful to the team.

I like to play tanks and anything in the close area around tanks.

mostly because few things are as fun as owning your friends hard with a tank, so you never die either : ]

my favorite hero must be Tidehunter. oh hello, going somewhere? NOPE slowed. Trying to kill me? NOPE extra defense. Have defense? NOPE I have extra damage. Bringing friends? HUEHUE AoE Stun with knock up stun and dmg!

I played DotA like 10 games or even less so I'd take a shot with HoN hero - Fayde. I love to play gankers with stelth so this was a godsend to me :D. It's not that I'm super good with them but they are the most fun heroes to play (for me at least). Roaming around and crossing lanes whenever I feel like it fits perfectly my playstile.
I'm looking forward to playing Antimage in Dota2 ^^.
