Suddenly I have respect for aui's skadi spec. Please I've done Spectre Refresher a lot, the longest game I had was 60min... I got trilaned against and wrekt. At 40 min I managed to get Radiance. I had Phase/Bracer... I even had to sell Bracer just to get Radiance recipe. In the span of the next 20min I managed to get 6 slotted. Enemy team even had 3 roshes.... Every other game was between 35-45 mins. To not get hard games like the one I described, I have discovered that Armlet first then Rad/Refresher is the best. Armlet is just too good on Spectre in a losing game. It's easier to toggle on her than other heroes since you take less damage from everything. Also if you've been Armlet toggling for a long time in a fight, the enemies will be discouraged to chase you since you are dispersing damage that adds up overtime. Also I always try to have Treads over Phase, and get Phase only when necessary | ||

Not trying to start a which game is better debate just simply asking for Sc2 players experiences, wrist is getting sore and it's getting harder to play Sc2 so I might try and pick up Dota to focus on and play Sc2 casually. I find DOTA is easier to play casually. When I play SC2, it's either with friends who are worse than me, or 1v1. In both cases, winning the game completely depends on me doing really well. Sometimes DOTA feels pretty independent of me playing well, so it's easy to feel no pressure to put everything into the game. Also, playing really well in SC2 basically means staying at 110-120 APM for the few hours I'm playing. DOTA I can play well at 30 APM. Not that DOTA is easier, but it's just doesn't feel as high pressure, and it is definitely less draining. | ||

My transition was easy but it couldn't be easy for others... In fact I can see most just outright quitting and get frustrated with this game because of how hard it is to learn the mechanics. Not to mention tolerating the trolls and flamers out there. Whoever out there is like this, kudos to you for sticking it through!  | ||

It's actually easier to learn DotA2 because the courier control is better, the spots are more defined. | ||

Whoever out there is like this, kudos to you for sticking it through! I tried to play WC3 DotA but I was young and didn't get that I had to download the mod, so I just got insta-kicked from all DotA lobbies. It was hard switching to DotA 2 and I'm still definitely not a great player or anything, but hours and hours of bot games and watching lots of DotA really helps. Even with my 0 WC3 DotA experience I was still able to support my way into High MM (I know it means nothing, don't need to remind me :D) | ||

Also I played a little wc3 dota. About 100-200 games over 2 years. It was tough, but it was fun. | ||

I just used a mass downloader and went inside the folders, filtered it to grab all links that ended in *.dem. Used Flashgot on Firefox to do this. | ||

The first ability is really hard to use. actually i could recommend people who has around 1000 hours into dota to learn the game with SF. You gota learn map control, learn skill shot and lastly: learn to last hit. SF is pretty much a well rounded hero that is very high rewarding for good plays and is a good hero to keep track of your personal improvement. But yeah if you are new SF is pretty hard >.>.... not as hard as meepo though  | ||
