IRC chatter should remain in IRC - http://webchat.quakenet.org/?channels=tl.dota2

Posts that relate to topics with their own thread, such as in News, Tournaments or Strategy should go in those threads.

PGG and NS still used numpad to use items in DotA before switching over to Dota 2. And Dendi used to keep one of his fingers on alt the whole game to see healthbars. People are REALLY slow to adapt.

Before WC3 was patched to allow the option to always see healthbars, I would use an auto-hotkey program that kept the alt-key permanently pressed. It also rebound the item hotkeys to ctrl-ZXCV. That was extremely useful.

When I played LoL (over a year ago last time) I never did that, seems awkward.

On a side note, are we now competing with just how hipster our signatures can be? First 5-s, then that guy 'before 5-s changed his sig', and now you. I'm going to have to come up with one soon.

How could you be more hipster then me?

im not sure its possible for dota players to be hipsters, i dont think that Dota is available on mac, so how could any of the players be hipsters?

Didn't war3 run on MACs? So people could have been playing dota on macs a long time ago...

Anyway I dunno when my first game was probably back 06/07 but hated it and stuck to other war3 customs. Don't remember playing properly till phoenix patch whenever that was.

I've seen people level decrep over ward.

Which is hilarious because in a lot of situations you should be 4-0-4-0 at level 8.


This is actually true xD most pubbers didnt notice. and especially if you are not on vent with team, decrep is problem more than usefulness.

With a single point in decrep you just have to cast nether blast before decrepping them if you want the extra damage. 4-1-4 works pretty well.

I play dota 2 the whole week and Dota 1 for around 6 hours with 9 friends every sunday. The transition is a bitch but eventually you get used to it, I'm liking the qwer better though.

On the subject of old heroes, Who remembers the old silencer with orb silence and infernals? I was wondering to myself why that hero wasn't broken as hell (also the buildable aegis)

I still use legacy. Too stubborn to switch over yet but getting there. The lack of consistent item hotkeys is such a drawback.

I just use 1-5 and tilde for items, you really don't need control groups for dota. MAYBE if you're going to play meepo, but that's about it.

There are a lot of heroes where control groups are basically mandatory.
Basically anything with summons or necrobook you want control keys for imo.

With misery and tears.
