You can try the invoker game (invoker game . com) (without space) it helps practice your memorization of his spells and your finger agility to quickly change spells in the allotted time. | ||

Invoker can have tonse a influence with just forge spirits and cold snap + sunstrike, I learned invoker by just forcing myself into it and now I usually have ALOT of impact everygame, so it worked for me. And I'd argue that that invokergame.com website is pretty to learning invoker to me, I basically got +50 % winrate with invoker without ever using Ice wall, alacrity and emp. Now EMP is the only fucker I keep forgetting in the lategame, even if I usually play with aghs scepter and I have had plenty situations to use it. But playing invoker is like learning a language, you don't have to know it all to speak it and you slowly expand your vocabulary. Edit: I recommend watchng iceiceice stream if you wanna catch someone who often plays invoker on stream, I think he's the one who plays him the most often | ||

You should play with HotBid's Invoker, it's awesome. About 70% of the time when he tries to make forged spirits he mis-invokes and randomly ice walls out of nowhere. | ||

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've switched completely from SC2 since I got the beta key. I found there are more variation in Dota2 compared to strict 'meta' in SC2 and more relaxed timing (dont need to have x unit or y base on z minutes, etc) On August 27 2013 10:50 AgentW wrote: I just played SF for the first time and, wow, now I know why people say he's "all skill."
