Getting matched against pros is probably a decent indicator of very high skill too. Getting matched with pros not so much since you might be acting as dead weight.

No need to level invoke past lvl 2. Just makes it cost more mana

Honestly, depending on the matchup, Sniper isn't the easiest person to lane against (with headshot) if you're hero isn't very good at solo killing. He just so happens to be one of the easiest heroes in the game to gank, so it kind of depends on a teammate to think "free gold!".

Well, I've gotten shit on by Demon and EternalEnvy, as well as a few ex-names from HoN (in dota2).

But yeah, I'm well aware that I'm not really "up there".

Its the base damage nerf that really hurt me, he was soon just denying most of my creeps, blasting down my wave and pushing me into my tower. I really do see now why pros have to go QE, you just get out cs'd if you don't

FinestHour is too heavy to carry. Also makes me cringe when I last saw him play Faceless Void.

Well, claws of attack + gg branch + tangoes gives you a fighting chance at lasthits with QW invoker, but good snipers basically just win lasthit wars vs many many heros.

I still remember a pro HoN game where the de-facto best HoN mid player went 12/12 CS after 3 creep waves as sniper (vs a 0/0 Shadow Fiend). Not the most relevant example, but good snipers can sometimes just get all the CS.

Anyone else have some weird connection time-out issues?

I just had a game where it would just error me out of game over and over. Happened at the worst possible times too (DC RIGHT WHEN ROSH DIES AND I NEED TO GRAB THE AEGIS). Didn't think it was my connection because Steam chat and Vent didn't have any hiccups or anything.

Kind of a shitty way to lose a game.

I had one yesterday and multiples freezes (not very long luckily)
might be because of new invites :D

Happens to me constantly. Adds some fun suspense to teamfights.


I've been having some issues where Dota 2 just closes when I'm alt-tabbed. I'd say 1 out of every 15 pre games, I'll 'accept match' then alt-tab and the client will crash. Weird

Why do I get the feeling people seem to want to automatically blame joinDOTA for everything bad that happens, I just don't get it. I mean, at least listen to both sides before you even judge. I thought people were at least better than this but I guess not.
It just makes me a bit sad, that's all.

I remember that. He just missed your "must have 150 cs at 20 minutes or noob" benchmark.

No more like AFKFARM all game when he could at least clean up enemy heroes while our team was failing to 4v5. Or to do something with 5-6 slots.

Scapegoat / vocal minority / hivemind mentality. Tobi has made a few mistakes in the past (and often apologized for them), so now everyone jumped on a bandwagon of hate for him.

I mean, yeah, they make mistakes, but a lot of the hate is unwarranted. Sad that the community is turning this way.

Is there a way to check what page your game is on other than actually going through each page till you find yours?

Ehh... I mean JD has done a lot for the scene, but at the same time for quite a while they were THE name in dota 2 and rather than try to promote the game and the scene, they used their position to self-promote wildly, often at the cost of up-and-coming competitors. Understandable, but not really appealing or helpful to the community.

It isn't that I blame them for too many things, just that I don't like their organization at the moment.
