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.

I have a quick question (just loaded Dota 2 a few weeks ago). Is it normal that steam spams me with Dota 2 Keys??? I currently have 18! O.o

I didn't get half of what you guys were talking about last 2 pages. But Venruki is most likely the most prominent treant player from old Dota 1 days, am I right?

On a little more serious topic, I had an idea: Dominator Helm on Clinkz
To be at your peak power level in a teamfight, you should death pact one of the 1100 hp creeps directly before the engagement. So ideally you should have one of those running shortly behind you the entire time.
I propose Helm of the Dominator mainly because my friend called me a faggot when I suggested he plays Chen and carries creeps around for me to death pact.


You're wasting almost 2k gold on an orb you won't use because of searing arrows.

Lifesteal doens't work that way.


It depends on your source of lifesteal. If you are getting Vlad's or SK aura lifesteal then you will get it no matter what (assuming you are melee and would get life steal from the aura in the first place). If you are trying to get lifesteal from Satanic, HotD, or MoM, then it is an orb and it won't work if you have another orb. This is why people get Vlad's on Ursa and AM and not other lifesteal items


Those don't work on ranged heroes with orb anyway
Logic fails because we are lazy.

I'm pretty sure they just give them out to spread the game without using any criteria at all lol. I think this is their strategy to have a community full of players who know each other or something like that.

Let's talk pro scene. Do you guys think the new Orange could potentially challenge some of the top Chinese teams now? The team is pretty stacked and they have been crapping on everyone in the SEA scene. It appears that Zenith got the short end of the stick when it comes to the trades that occured recently. Yamateh and Ice are seeming more and more like hasbeens while the old Zenith players just don't feel as talented as any of the players on Orange.

Man. I hate PL. Despite starting a game off well and owning mid as Bat, ganking and shutting down PL INCLUDING THE WHOLE ENEMY TEAM, it's just impossible to beat him when he has a midas and lanes with KOTL for infinite gayness

advice to new players

pick pl and kotl to win every pubq

You missed my point entirely.

I don't fucking care for the lifesteal of HotD. I just want a high hp creep running close to so I can conveniently death pact it when a teamfight starts. That's up to 880 bonus hp and 88 damage that a HotD would give me(at lvl 16).
For 2k gold thats a bargain really.
But has anyone actual experience with that?

With some time, they certainly will be able to take some games, xtinct and net are a scary support-duo, probably the strongest outside of china at the moment
Also will have to see what is up with Mushi being "coach" again and again, that may bite them, if they mix players up all the time

As for zenith, except xy- i think their players are weaker than orange right now, ice³ keeps pointing out that Ice may not be the final solution for their team, afaik only Yamateh is really confirmed as a new player (although they played for a while now), seeing as they don't have sponsorship etc, everything can change really rapidly for them. I hope they make some magical discovery of a player like xfreedom or ohaiyo or i don't really see them competing for #1 slot in asia anymore.
Still my favourite team and i only wish them the best, xy so talented <3

this idea is pretty bad. clinkz runs around basically hasted once he maxes his invis. a creep wont keep up, will get randomly picked off, maybe give away your position. meanwhile you could just jump into the woods and snag a creep before you know you have to fight anyway

Or pick AM and farm with BF to 6 slot in 30 mins. Its what people got flamed for 1 year ago, and AM didn't receive any major nerfs. PL is just the FotM hard carry that works in pubs that lots of people are playing, like drow.
The only barrier to truth is the presumption that you already have it. It's through our pane (pain) we window (win though).

Okay then, he seems to crash whenever he picks a hero.
Any suggestions? We really want to play dota 2.

What OS are you using?
Have you tried to reinstall Dota2/Steam?

Don't want to reinstall dota2. Could try reinstalling steam, but I really dont think reinstalling dota 2 would help.

OS is windows 8
