LD is different to play. Microing the two units has a totally different laning feel that can take some getting used to. Lord knows it's still tough for me, and I got to Masters in SC2, so it's not like my micromanagement is just utter shit.

Pretty much, you use the bear to tank and the hero to do damage early on. You can use the two together to last hit and deny, of course. The bear is very good at harassing, because nobody can really trade hits with it, especially when your hero comes in to join the fray. It's like what, seventy damage per attack and 2k health? You just have to be careful with your positioning, and be sure that you're never ever getting your hero into the initiation range of one of their heroes, because that's how you die. Play safe and whittle them down, generally. If your lane is really tough, you can use the bear to drag creeps to your tower through the jungle. That was an old AdmiralBulldog thing: you'd see maybe even most of his farm early game being taken between his T1 and T2 towers.

Big thing is just practice. Merlini claims to have played forty games straight with him to get used to the hero.

ixmike with a few more details about his allegations of ghosting; he also says he's not going to pursue any formal complains. Which is dumb. I don't understand the gap between "saying uG definitely did this thing to everyone in the world" and "saying uG definitely did this thing to the admins". If they did it, and mike knows they did it, he should bring it up to the admins. If he doesn't really know they did it, he shouldn't talk about it publicly.

He might not be able to prove it to the admins or something like that. Who knows, I am really shocked they allow so many obs in games at any event. All that is needed is the casters.

really depends on the person.
On the one hand sylla has no real active abilities that require any thought to use (dodging stuff with transformation aside) but on the other you need to have strong multi-unit control to be effective.
if you have that skillset already then hes not too tough otherwise your gonna have to build up those 420apm microskillz.
hes definitely a good hero to have in your repertoire.

in other news post #1234567 is coming up real soon.

I thought playing sylla was hard and Brood impossible. Then I discovered unified unit control or wtv its called (ctrl click for all units).
And there goes my 420, not high because no paper

I love micro heroes but I got in the bad habit of having a 'select all other units' button rather than control grouping them.

Makes brood visage and LD easy, but I have a hard time with ET since spirit doesn't work with it.

Control is pretty useless when it comes to sylla. Much better to use control groups when it's just two units.

People have always overestimated how hard he's to play, based on the fact that there's more than the hero.

Honestly he's more of a middleground between regular dota heroes and the really fun ones like meepo.
I speak fluent sarcasm.

Not really hard to play just try it, first time ever going vs bots is not a bad idea. He has a different power "curve" then most heroes. You probably wont find anyone being able to go 1v1 vs the bear at lvl 5. So get lvl 5 and bully people out of lane and farm like hell otherwise you fall off. Just boots oov and lvl 5 gets a kill in like 70% of games i promise!

summon players to help you if your really stuck.
all his attacks are super slow with big winddowns to fuck him up. if your patient you should be able to kick his butt.
honestly you should REALLY be able to beat him with npc summons and resin. maybe your just being impatient and getting hit when you shouldnt?

also i think the TL dark souls thread is still active

The key is to get him from the side. His main attack is mostly to the front and he also has a tail attack, but nothing much to the side. Just wait for the NPC to draw his agro and then get in a few hits from the side. Also, the majority of his super annoying attacks are when his head/torso is down. When he is propped up(like he is when the boss spawns) all of this attacks are from the front and are super telegraphed.

But seriously, fuck the Knight Artorias, that guy is wrecking my shit right now, but I want the armor that you get after you beat him.

Anyone live on the US east coast and getting stutter lag? Hero keeps moonwalking and I can't see projectiles (auto attacks, qop/PA daggers, tower attacks, etc.) Rest of my apps are running fine. Just had 2 people across 2 games complain about the same lag.
