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.

Oh lawd shikyo got banned.

Now he can spend more time learning the game than posting here trying to teach others. I think it'll work out nicely for both sides.

Speaking of which I haven't played at all today because of this thread let alone do anything productive... =x

Personally I like it when Shikyo argues a misinformed position, the resulting wave of people trying to debunk him makes the thread more entertaining than it normally is. Sure it smothers any other discussion but not a big loss.

Also, not a big fan of saying QWER for skills, it seems a little bit undescriptive. At least say X's stun/slow/aura/ult or whatever instead if you don't remember what the skill is called. Luckily all the casters already do this, would be very annoying to listen to otherwise.
I can't sing and I can't dance, but still I know how to clap my hands.

Isn't the "QWER" thing something from LoL? Never heard anyone from DotA talk like that.

This reminds me of the thread a while back on Dota 2 TI2 viewership. During the semifinals, Valve popped in and said the stream was over 550k viewers concurrently. Then the LoL forums suddenly got all pissed off and people were posting pictures and fact checking everything and stuff.

You can still check Dota 2 twitter to see that announcement.

Why does everyone hate Shiyko with a passion? From what I gather, he just seems like a guy who came over to Dota from LoL and is just not experienced with the game enough.

It's not really hate. It's more of general amusement.

There are plenty of guys that have come over from LoL and are not experienced enough with the game. The difference is they come in here and ask questions and accept our answers, instead of coming here, putting forward an understandably uneducated opinion, but then stubbornly defend it against the masses trying to show him the error of his ways.

Because he states opinions as facts. Because he tells everyone about strategy and item choices even though most of us who are talking about this game have played it for 8-9 years. Because he contradicts himself. Because he uses LoL terminology even though the OP says specifically not to.

I'm glad he's into Dota, and wants to talk about it, but he argues with the strats of pro players. He has even ridiculed chinese players (eg. about meepo).
Eagerly awaiting Techies.

they don't hate shikyo, they hate the things he says. He's at a low bracket an dplaying pubs and giving advice to people like he's a pro or taking his ideas straight from pros.

4 heroes being scared to tower dive a hero who has 1/6 health left is not hysterical, especially when one of them that was at full health dies... for nothing :/
I wonder how Artstyle feels while playing LoL.
EDIT: Wait... I just heard the commentator say that everyone in the team buys wards, and only in pubs support heroes are the only ones that buy wards, this just blew my mind.

I think I like the doom buff the most, being able to jungle him feels so nice.

2 rings of protection(1 for tranq, 1 for basi),gg branch and consumables,

you have to hope for some decent camps though.
