So I decided to learn Invoker and started playing him. I went three times the Exort build and it was kind of very even in lanes (but I feel that if I played Storm or Leshrac I could've win lane skillwise) and I just dont know HOW to get a kill early in the game. I mean, the base dmg is great with Exort, but you have so few spells. I try to sunstrike low targets on the other lanes, but since there is no cc in early lvls, I just cant outlane someone who just stays out if attack range or on the high ground.
AND What item builds would you suggest for Exort Invoker? I went Phaseboots into Drums ( somethimes with Wand) and Bottle every game. Then I cant decide if I go force staff or Scepter next. Or should I switch up completly?

firstly, Wand is core on every hero. EVERY hero
and imo you really shouldn't be too focused on ganking, levels are far more important except with Sun Strike - and even then it's better to rely on your teammates' stuns to set up for your SS
and it's better to go Force Staff, then Scepter, because around that time, your levels aren't really high enough for Scepter to be completely useful, sometimes I also get it after sheepstick instead
my item build for EQ Invoker: Phase (not really used to Treads), Wand, Force Staff, Sheepstick, Scepter

The exort invo is meant for outlast hiting the enemy and global presence, not killing in the lane.

So apparently either getting a unusual courier or getting a strange axe belt that doesn't count anything, and thus is useless as a strange item. Is just random. So they want to thank people who supported them, by randomly giving some of the unusual couriers, and useless strange items to others.
Don't want to complain since it was a free thing ontop of the ticket, but still..

I dunno I find I get a ton of solo kills just with sunstrike + cold snap.
|
Do you get these chests from games like the others?
|
No those are the defense chests+keys. Given to people who bought a ticket to watch the defense. Some got unusual courier, and some of us got useless strange items.
|
Ah okay, I didn't buy a ticket so I won't get one then
|
It is only my experience or Random Draft is the better mode for get decent games in Solo Queue?
Captain Mode in Solo Queue has no sense, All Pick is a Carry Insta lock party and Single Draft is full of people that doesn't know how to play their heroes.
The problem is that if you queue only RD the wait is looooong.

Not sure if this is old news, but Dota2 replaces the initially announced LoL. I heard some rumour about it being due to Riot and WCG not coming to an agreement. Good shit, in any case. Of course not many people care about WCG much anymore with the PR suicide they committed with the mobile game shit and being behind the times in general.
edit: Seems there are doubts about this list even being correct? Wait and see I guess.

they are just quoting Greatfrag which quote the russian qualifier and the chinese news speculation. Everything is still a rumor until official press release. I have been tweeting slasher hoping he could share some insight but it seem like he was busy renew his passport -_-

Sooooo I've been in a like 10 game streak of brandnewtodota/totalnoob/ignorantspammingasshole/peoplethatdontspeakenglish and so on and so forth, which is fine and all but it does wear at your mind, even more so when you play quite well most games and still can't even come close to winning.
But then the 10th game ended, and the score screen popped up. Mythical summer chest.
Open it and find myself a beautiful skin for my favorite hero that I haven't played in a month or two, Tiny.
Next game I play tiny with my new skin and destroy the game completely.
God damn it feels good.

Hey guys what is the best build skill and itemwise with lanaya? I go solo mid skill only E 1 times and max Q and W depending on situation and getting ulti whenever possible.I trap the ward zones and common gank ways.I go bottle wand treads blink then depending on enemy team BKB or deso.Is it decent?
|
I get refraction - meld. Trap when available then range.
Of course refraction range with one meld should be better. I guess its style/lane dependent. If you can manage with short range early on, meld should help with easier last hits.
I do have a problem with my item choices though. I go blink Bkb deso but I'm not sure if its the most optimal item build
|
1 point in Psi Blades (dunno which letter but its b in legacy, I don't use the new system), 1 point in meld to dodge spells, max refraction first, get your ultimate whenever you can. Finish meld after maxing out refraction then max out psi blades. Reason you get one 1 point in Psi Blades right away is to not be a melee range hero and have to run around creeps to last hit them at the beginning of the game.
If you are soloing mid, I get a bottle asap, then rune whore with my traps all game long. Positioning is key with Lanaya. You have to be able to last hit and try to harass your opponent with the spill over range. Remember that traps give you vision in a 400 radius so use this to warn you of incoming ganks.
After the bottle, I will usually get the pair of boots and wand. After that, rush for blink dagger. Other items after like desolator and black king bar will depend on the situation.

Can't play Puck no matter how hard I try and changing the setup around all the time is too much too ask for Lanaya I only sometimes fuck up the trap detonation, it should really be under the same hotkey as the hero detonate one
