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.

Medallion so awkward at times because of casting animations. BH feels slow using all those target spells

Just a quick question (not really important enough to warrant its own thread, so I figured it'll go in general): I recently went back to China to visit relatives (usually in Australia) and now my DOTA 2 is region locked to Australia only. Is there a way to play dota from here, or am I screwed?

Your dota 2 is region locked :O how so? I didn't even know that region lock exists.

I think they added it in with the later keys. I actually got my key from an Aus friend while I was in America, and couldn't play there either.

Is there any way to lower the graphics settings below what you can get in the options tab? Like using the console? I want to make the game run slightly better on my laptop (it has an integrated video card), right now I can get 20-25 fps when not much action is going on with Windows Aero turned off and everything else geared for max performance. It is somewhat playable as it is, but I have really bad fps in 5v5 fights with lots of spells flying around.

Do you need to use more bandwidth to play on the US server from somewhere like Singapore? I am currently using only 10000 max bandwidth and wanted to play with people on teamliquid. Loneliness T_T

Can someone explain the idea behind headdress as starting item on Lone Druid to me? Because everybody builds it in pubs and I just don't see why.

It's in recommended items The idea is you get it, spending all your starting gold, and have a nice regen for both you and the bear, it's mostly for the jungle thou

Tip of the day: This isn't as much mechanical as it is just tips to surviving solo queue and pubs. BUY YOUR OWN WARDS IF YOU ARE MID. You can't just whine about not having rune wards or highground wards, people suck at warding and helping eachother in pubs generally and you winning mid for the cost of 150 gold seems like a fucking good trade-off to me. Even if you buy 2 sets of wards for the entire early game you've only used 300 gold to know where the rune is and have vision of highground later on.
From the Ghastly Eyrie I can see to the ends of the world, and from this vantage point I declare with utter certainty that this one is in the bag!

The only reason people buy it is because it is a recommended start item for him.

It's a terrible recommended item and Valve should be punished for it.

Is it me or do mods rarely post in the dota 2 forums? I see heyoka and bumblebee sometimes but I never see any other mods.
