It's wrong to play ONLY one hero and I think Shikyo hasn't played dota before so it's pretty much his only hero ever. You won't be a good dota player till you've played at least one full length game with each hero

my profile looks like that sometimes, only with practice games. Jungeling with nonconventional heroes while watching bad tv shows helps me get through solo queue rage.

Next 2 pages are full PA as well. The 4th page has only 10 games with PA and 3 with others.

Oh maybe you can't see my history in practice games? Either way ...

I've played every hero at least ~5 times apart from the newest ones so I'd say I've played close to a thousand games of DotA(WC3)

Storm Spirit is such a fun hero to play, but seeing those big man boobs for 45 mins is really disturbing... they need to change the model, maybe make him the same animal as brewmaster is.

You're misunderstanding something, I'm not playing to win, exactly o_O It's a future investment.

what do you mean future investment? pa is never picked in serious games, why would you want to be really good with her in the future?

all you learn from playing her is how to last hit, besides that she teaches you nothing really. If you want to learn how to play an effective carry then pick morph.

I dont understand what the returns on any investment in pa are.

I don't ever look at the portrait when I'm playing, maybe if I die (SO NEVER LOL), seriously though, even if I die I probably have better things to look at most of the time.

Doesn't bother me at all whether a hero has an ugly portait or something like that. Also I quite like storm's model.

Not really. He will still win around 50% of his games, assuming nothing weird happens with matchmaking, with Lycan or other OP hero he would just play at a higher level. I have to adimt I have no idea how playing PA every game is a future investment though.

Doing things exclusively in your comfort zone doesn't make you good at anything in life. Solely executing the same thing over and over until it's all muscle memory will only make you confused when you don't get to do it.

The fact that he is playing PA is what makes it doubly as confusing honestly. At least holicmore and Pirate are playing heroes with some playstyle variety to them, but PA is a completely one-dimensional right-click carry who mostly just plays PvE half the game... and a mediocre one at that.

I mean I've been near-exclusively randoming ever since I fired up garena for the first time, and I get a little bit annoyed when I get the same hero a bit too often. Different strokes for different folks I suppose?

I dont understand what the returns on any investment in pa are.

She teaches me to watch carefully for when disables are used because I am fucked if I don't, for example. Another example would be to watch for when my opponents are preoccupied with someone else and using that time to strike, and so on.

Optimizing farm is a very important thing to me as well because I'm going to be playing only hardcarries(Maybe something lighter in certain teamcomps).


Also she'll probably be buffed next patch ^-^
