Made me think of this game: + Show Spoiler + Sort of sad to see AOL throw away such an enormous advantage against DK--really depressing to see their inexperience show through when they couldn't end the game. | ||

Some of the guides are very hard to read for a newcomer :/ They show item builds only with images most of the time :'( | ||

Just for the record, this isn't tied to the Steam's "block communication" tried blocking/unblocking from steam but it doesn't work. Thanks for the answers in advance! | ||

solo mid go lvl 1 frost, lvl 1 silence, 1-3 levels worth of stats until you're comfortable, max aura, max arrows treads -> hotd -> yasha -> manta or bkb lothars is good for placing your silence correctly at the right time but is rarely relevant as pubs aren't good at positioning/hiding from your silence range. skip wand, skip bands, the fast hotd will let you jungle really soon and if you aren't being stomped in lanes you should have a combined 120-160 cs at 20 mins and roll over all your opponents towers as you hit lvl 16 + bkb or manta while opponents are barely lvl 11. | ||

In the second game they've picked forgespirirt Invoker solo mid, support defensive jungle Juggernaut assisting a QoP Lesh lane on bot. The QoP is going a SS build, and is incapable of casting SS on Venomancer due to a bug. Watched it too. Na'Vi is out of this world... I find it hard not to be a huge Na'Vi fanboy. Na'Vi alone probably have a wider spectrum of strategies than all of the other teams combined. And I'm not even kidding here. | ||

You put someone mid who can control runes, push, gank, or otherwise help carry the tempo of the game for your team because they have easy access to both sidelanes and runes. Putting someone there who's going to do nothing but farm for the first 20 minutes is an absolute waste. You're not even likely to get better farm than going to the short lane, since you can stack/pull creeps more easily there.

So it's too early for anyone to have gotten to high MMR in -cm yet? But I'm honestly completely guessing.

That's not really the problem. It's not that she's super easy to counter or anything. She still becomes a monster lategame if you really put the effort into getting her farmed. The problem is that she needs a lot of attention from your team as a whole to secure her development, and at the same time, requires very good positioning in teamfights to fully make use of her development. Basically with Drow, you either ignore her and accept that she's probably going to have trouble without help, or you put effort into protecting her farm and take the gamble that the player playing her might still be terrible anyway. Clinkz and Riki post-6 are at least fairly self-reliant, so even if the players playing them aren't that good, they won't need you to babysit them for them to be useful. | ||

She is a better carry then Riki and Clinkz is the worst carry in the game. probably talking about pubs here, ofc drow is one of the strongest lategame heros having the highest aggi at lvl 25 and all but it takes a team to support her or she's useless | ||
