Aui just played support warlock against Na'Vi and maxed Upheaval first. http://www.dotabuff.com/matches/867938727/builds (Na'Vi vs C9 spoilers in the link, obviously) For the people saying that the skill build is garbage.

I dont understand when people pick heroes like CM and BH because they don't believe 4k has a meta... Even though the other team just deathballed and ended in 20 minutes Like I said they would.. Some games are simply unwinnable


I'd rather pick to the team than the meta, and I've had some games where CM was exactly the right pick. CM, Jugg, offlane bristle, mid necro, jungle enigma. It's not like that lineup is awful, and CM isn't really in thaaaaaat bad of a spot, really. She never had much base damage to speak of, so the fact that she hits like a ranged creep now is just a small step down from hitting like a catapult.

On another topic, I started playing solo ranked again, and am actually feeling fucking good about it. Perhaps I'm not totally awful after all.

I have a friend who absolutely loves playing CM. I have no idea why, just does. I make sure to get some mana-hungry low-int heroes to pair with her, such as Slark or Ursa, who can handle themselves pretty well. It works quite well.

Just find something comfortable that you can play along the hero that the other player is clearly comfortable with.


CM's just really comfortable to play because she's so versatile. She's got too weak a lane to justify always being picked, but she used to be my go-to support in any game where a counterpick / synergy pick wasn't obvious.

CM does everything decently and can support almost any lineup. She does all three of the greedy/aggro/defensive roles, it's just... low base stats across the board make life hard.


cm in pubs is fine too

cm + kunkka lane is almost a guaranteed kill at lvl 2 - frostbite, nova, torrent, tidebringer

melts most people's HP bars before they can get away. cm/kunkka is the lane cheese i do when i'm desperate for a win



my friend loves cm, so i just pick naga or some other mana hungry through entire game carry. CM+ naga can have naga constantly use illusions non stop to farm in the very early game and naga + cm is fairly hard to lane against cause they have a ton of damage early game

isn't it like the only way to pub without wanting to kill yourself

Best to wait to mute, because there are also some really great people who contribute a ton.

muting for me has the side effect of not getting flaming teammates but i mainly do it cos when im playing solo q i just want to play some video games on my own, i dont want to be playing with other people

Fair enough I guess. I generally play actual single-player games instead of playing pretend in those situations.

It's Aui's standard build. He's done it before in professional matches. Don't think anyone else does it.

I have the same problem. The game is objectively great. I play 1-2 hours and never start it again. Unless I force myself, then I don't like it.

He's not really OP but it's a hero that requires full team effort to win a tinker game. Just 1 idiot on your team can allow him to snowball from the start or not end the game early enough before he gets 4-5 slotted.

Also whenever i see a random noob on my team, checked his dotabuff after game. HIgh chance that account is a smurf and majority of the games are tinker games. Way too many people are spamming tinker and abusing the smurf detection system to inflate his mmr.

So fuck that hero. I wish he gets nerfed.

The thing with Tinker is that actually losing a game takes like an hour even if your team got completely wrecked because of how quickly he can push out lanes and still defend high ground with March. So even the games where you win against Tinker are insanely frustrating.

my problem with tinker is that you can be absolute garbage with the hero in the laning stage and not get punished cause 3 second blind then march and run away. I learned that no matter how bad a tinker plays its almost impossible to actually kill him 1v1 cause you will just die the instant you try to push your advantage and go on him.

i understand name changes, but i always thought that artosis had something intelligent to say on the matter. your name is equivalent to your brand. when you change it, you are essentially starting your brand over. if you have a crappy name, you have a crappy brand.

and with a name as crappy as BigDaddy, I would imagine many people feel the same, idonthinksobro
