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.

Huge play from Tide. His blink ravages were perfect in the last few team fights.

Just tried Clinkz in a bot game (I'm bad at this game) and I think I'm in love <3 I did way better than I usually do playing carries.

Giving invoker away in a chinese competitive game especially is considered auto-lose....

Not sure where the notion of "he is not very popular anymore" comes from..

And emp-tornado is basically the only way these chinese plays them. Only Recca from Starsboba goes Quas/Exort if i'm not wrong and he goes a very weird build like blinkdagger first or something like that.

Not saying that invoker can only be played the Emp/tornado style but it is clearly superior when compared to exort builds in a proper game.


???

clearly a lot of teams have decided not to pick invoker and win against it anyway. theres plenty of very strong heroes as it is now and invoker is just one of many.


Auto-lose is a slight exagerration. He obviously does not have 100 percent win rate. But invoker is still extremely strong as opposed to just one of many or "not very popular anymore" as someone said earlier. In the WGT, he is almost always banned, He is probably top 3 most banned heroes together with lycan/bear.

According to one Chinese commentator (I forget if it was 2009 in PCGL or 820 in G-League), current banning strategies are focused around banning against players and teams, rather than against a specific hero, and that there's not really auto-lose/auto-win heroes. Invoker still stays high on the ban lists because many top teams have well-practiced Invoker players like DK's rotk or iG's 430, not necessarily because the hero itself is too strong.




Who the hell is making up this shit about Invoker being overpowered in the Chinese realm? He is only consistently banned against ONE player, and that's Ferrari. And that's because Ferrari is like literally the best Invoker player on the damn planet.


Banning Invoker means you're not banning other more very important heroes like Lycan, Syllabear, Batrider, etc. etc. etc. who will make or break your game.

Can I ask here for someone to link me to some people (Who are decent at dota, IE comp level) discussing how different changes, etc change the comp metagame? Its something I have an intrest in, but due to being a pub, I can only guess and I have no idea where to start for such insights.
(Also I cannot watch youtube, so text or audio would be lovely.)

I never got why people like dust so much, imo sentry wards are infinnetly better than dust(baring in mind your team has some cc), can someone explain to me why do people focus on dust so much????


Riki can easily blink-strike a creep out of range of sentry to escape. Same goes for other heroes, given that many of them have movement speed bonuses.


Diffusal Blade can purge dust. I always lol @ people use dust on me when I play Riki. To counter Riki, you just need to buy Gem and rape him right off the bat.

Blizzard why you always leave me down ?


What does Blizzard have to do with you not getting a key?
The unrealistic sound of these propositions is indicative, not of their utopian character, but of the strength of the forces which prevent their realization.
