Remember the construction meme for OD?
I think devourer was also one of the suggested names for OD.
Incoming BristleBog renamed to Bristle ><

Is the matchmaking any good at the lower levels for someone who never has played an ARTS before? | ||

Is the matchmaking any good at the lower levels for someone who never has played an ARTS before? I mean, I only played a little bit of LoL, and came in a COMPLETE noob, and it worked out okay. If he's never played ARTS before, tell him to play some bot games to get used to how it works, and then when he understands some basics, to move over to low matchmaking. | ||

As far as I know the (dota1) max attack speed was max ias, not attack time. And pubs are so stupid at playing alchemist. Pick a hero that gives more gold the more creeps you kill, and buy an item which gives a constant gpm increase instead of an item which allows you to kill creeps faster. Pick a hero that is supposed to be a natural tank (with a little armor), and buy a shadow blade on him. | ||

I honestly think that bfury is really the way to go on him, farm like a boss. Though with a Mjollnir you can clear the jungle creeps in under a minute, assuming an average of 3 creeps per a camp, that adds up to an additional 450 gpm, you can probably clear it at a similar rate with bfury | ||

According to him the first ~10-20 games are a bit rough but it gets better quite quickly after that. (He had played a fair amount of war3 and CoH before then). | ||

That ult man he is easly countered by naga. And if you are going to pick an alch in competitive chances are you won't ban naga because its a waste. Also he isn't really that strong till his third item, which can take ages | ||

It's very rare you hit that in dota though although I haven't seen troll with this new global ult before. He used to just have self bloodlust ^_^ | ||

Unfortunately we're playing a game where carries need to be doing things 10-15 minutes earlier than that. | ||
