They're sueing for trademarking it not for using it, they don't want the name changed either... Love the misinformation everywhere

Yeah they aren't suing Valve, they are opposing Valve's attempt to trademark "dota". Good comprehension skills though.

A few games after reading this discussion about lothars on trax, I randomed trax in a pub. I'm not a very good player so i was like "herp derp I'mma go BKB". Let me tell you, I regretted it at every point in the game, and would've given an arm an a leg (at least trax's arm and leg...) for a lothars instead.

Given ofc that they didn't actually have any stuns to counter with the BKB -.-

Next time I'm probably gonna actually judge the situation for what item I'm getting O_O

In most lower-level pub games, Lothar's and heroes with some form of WW or invisibility are able to do very well. Why? Because most low level players refuse to actively buy wards/dust, and it takes a coordinated effort sometimes to hunt/gank invis-capable heroes

If they don't have stuns, I think you should go Helm of the Dominator -> Manta. Either way, Lothar's will be more effective when your team refuses to fight together, and far less effective if there are actual team battles. If you play in games where your teammates refuse to work together, by all means get Lothar's and just try to get lots of kills/farm and carry late-game.

Got my key yesterday from the TL thread, got my buddy in, and went pudge first game.

34/14/12. Feels real good man.

People are so fucking bad the first couple games I played, they just don't give a fuck if you are pudge and you're chilling in the woods right next to say, their keeper....I throw the hook out, and miss. He runs EVEN MORE AWAY FROM THE TOWER after my hook misses, and I just wait a few seconds and boom hook dead keeper.

Seriously people just don't know wtf to do so far but if I pudge every game I'll still have lots of fun.

at low skill levels i've played more than a few drow ranger games. lothars is hardly any more useful than manta, and manta will allow you to 1v3+ them if you farm well.

I lol'd inside when I read your post because it's so true. People do NOT know how to deal with Pudge at all and the ignorance and shitty things people do when I pick him are hilarious. It's like you don't even have to hide behind the treeline, you just stand in the open and hook people trololol.

Blind rushing BKB was probably not the smart thing to do, no. There are still superior alternatives to Lothar's that give similar stats though.

The thing is, why gamble on the risk of one person on the other team not being terrible when Manta or Janggo+Yasha are just as, or more effective anyway? Again, it's not like Shadowfiend or Ursa where you get a huge payoff and gain in effectiveness when the Lothar's gambit works, even once.

Yeah it was good. I don't know if it all came down to Freezer spending all of his money on that shiva's in the end and not being able to buy back. I really thought the game was over after dignitas cleared the top barracks but huge black holes by Enigma.
Back and forth game, lots of heroes having bad decisions and dying on their own during the whole game though.
Let's see how game 2 goes.

surprised WE got anywhere with that lineup, though dd didnt exactly have a nice lineup to counter those kinds of fights, both viper and huskar scale really horribly against antimage and ds, no surprise they could bring it back as long as they survived until megas with a scepter ds
