That's BS then.

That's how it's supposed to be


Doesn't make it less BS. She tower dove me and killed me because I couldn't see her refraction animation. Why can you see invoker orbs but you can't see TA refraction ? That's stupid.


That's like saying I tried to gank Crystal Maiden but died cause' a Lifestealer was inside her and I could have never known. A lot of things in DotA are pretty subtle and the game expects you to know things a lot of the time and when TA dives your tower, expect her Refraction to be up or ready.


How can I tell if she is just trying to last hit or diving me. I CAN'T, but if I could see her refraction animation ( or at least the 2 buffs on her) I would be able to react properly. Still, I don't understand why you can see Invoker orbs and not the refraction.

Never could see them in DotA1 either. What I'm curious about is whether you could see the buff/debuff on her in DotA1 because they don't show now.


Maybe because there was no animation, as the guy above you said.

I don't know why you'd complain about not being able to see TA's refraction when like half the stuff in this game can jump you from longer than vision range.

As far as stuff that's hard to judge, TA's refraction hardly qualifies as the worst one.

You just click on the unit and see buffs. Same way you click to see mana.

How do you counter naga? If you don't have BKB then you can't kill her most of the time (ulti+tp too stronk), and it seems like she is actually a really good counter to BKB since you can focus them down but disable their team so they cant interfere, as well as entangle. Her laning doesn't seem particularly weak, so is there some weakness that I haven't seen yet?
The only barrier to truth is the presumption that you already have it. It's through our pane (pain) we window (win though).

Kill her illusions. she relies on illusions to deal damage w/ diffusal. If you have strong aoe nukers (earthshaker, lina, invoker, etc) you can remove something like 60% of her dps.

Lion is especially good at killing illusions, his mana drain and hex instantly pop any illusions they hit.

Bloodstone feels kinda imbalanced right now. Why did they give it 6 charges from the start? I remember it to be 1 stack in DotA. It feels like a snowball item now and some heroes profit way too much from that extra boost in midgame.
I haven't played many games of DotA II yet though.

Bloodstone has always been to strong/weak though. But 6 stacks seem overkill right now.
I had a good night of sleep.

It no longer increases HP regen from extra stacks. Please read the description fully. It is nowhere near overkill.
Logic fails because we are lazy.

OD is like TA - you dominate, while the rest of your team feeds to all hell, then you can't outcarry the 3-5 enemy carries and it's over.

Yeah she does, Lina looks bigger than her, and she doesn't even have a tail. And compared to Slardar...^^


ye lol i was like 'wtf'!!!! I was using Rubbick and naga's head is like half the size of my head rofl.

And seriously how can Naga share the same basic model with slardar but naga looks amazing while slardar still look like shit.....

Current bloodstone isn't OP at all, and it only really works on a few heroes. Like leshrac and storm spirit, i guess it could work on necrolyte as well.
Also naga is top tier pick, so yea, gud hero.

It seems Dota 2 is not noob friendly like LoL, what can i do?

Suggested items for every hero seems to be bad for them, where i can find accurated items orders for every hero?

I had so much fun as TA last night. Mid vs a Tinker who, I shit you not, stated all of these things upon me pressing q once he fired his rockets:

"WTF"
"Way to abuse a glitch"
"GJ playing a hero who takes no skill"
"Way to play an OP hero"

I love low level MM. So much fun.

There are no item orders for every hero.
Everything is situational bar a few core items(Like blink dagger on sand king, for example).
Best tip is watch good players play and learn from them, or play and learn from experience.
