IRC chatter should remain in IRC - http://webchat.quakenet.org/?channels=tl.dota2

Posts that relate to topics with their own thread, such as in News, Tournaments or Strategy should go in those threads.

I'm not sure what's going on. They announced the whole free Defence weekend but now it seems like there's no Defence?

But the reason for this isn't because everything's balanced, it's because everything is changed every two weeks, so obviously the picks will change often and everything will seem viable.
I much prefer IceFrog's way of doing things, he allows players to figure out what to do, or the meta changes so a hero falls out of style.
And yet, a lot of different heroes are picked in DotA, they work in certain lineups and strategies, almost all of them, it's just that some are a lot better for the current meta.

actually i'd say there isn't a single hero in dota that doesn't have a lineup that works well for them and that they couldn't easily be replaced by another and have the lineup work the same. Unlike lol who have a ton of redundant characters. it's cool that way.

There was the match yesterday and there is EG vs Quantic tomorrow. Plus it also means you can access all the vods.

What skill level are the people in the TL chat channel? Solo queue gets boring at times and I'd love to play with others when my friends aren't on, but at the same time I don't want to annoy others if I play way worse than them.

Well, spirit breaker. but when he's strong enough to be used competitively he DOES get nerfed because he's too strong in pubs.

Their Youtube account is behind. They put #104 on their Youku account almost a week ago.

EG? :D To be honest I don't think there is something comperable in dota. There are a lot of old teams though.

Everything from newcomers to high tier players, but the activity of the channel isnt what it used to be. There used to be inhouses going on almost constantly, in addition to mm groups being formed / general talk.

Teamliquid will always pretty much be the closest thing to the "Teamliquid" of XYZ game. While the community may not be as big, a lot of the other aspects still apply. You still have good players here to ask for advice from, talking about the game, you still have TL-level moderation (albiet relaxed somewhat for small communities) and the TL Steams+Calendar for major events. (Admittedly, we should do a better job putting LoL and DotA events in the calendar.)
It's like, "Is the Federation's Mobile Suit some kind of monster?"

Basically if there is anything you want to know hero/skillbuilds, feel free to ask here, we have enough knowledable people on TL who can tell you what to do, for quick guides Playdota as Yoshi(basically, OMG I RANDOMNED THIS HERO WTF DOES IT DO WTF DO I DO?WHAT DO I BUILD?) said is pretty decent too.

I wish there was a way to edit your recommended item builds outside of a game.

Brewmaster, what a hero. Definitely my current favorite, once you get up a blink dagger, its just so much fun to blink>clap>ulti and start killing dudes and reigning down mass bullshit like cyclones and rocks. Its like playing Tide except you are a badass drunken pseudo panada that can also be a kickass semi-carry,

I tend to go phase>drums>blink>aghs and then an AC if I am farmed enough lategame but I dunno if thats the correct decision, it gives more attack speed and tankiness but I don;t think the aura affects the brewlings. Thoughts?

+ Show Spoiler +
On another note, last game we were stomping, enemy riki kept complaining about "bs hooks" from our pudge and the fact that we had a gondor and 2 gems. Apparently he was whining in team chat a lot as well about laning setup and stuff. Towards the end of the game, I started shit-talking him back even using phrases like "get dumpstered riki" and "riki king of butt-ravaged." This coming from an extremely mild mannered guy who always thought the MOBA community to be full of terrible flamers.

I am becoming what I hated and feared D:

AC affects the brewlings. Earth Panda has the aura.
