There's a console command: chat_join "name". You can also have it autoexecute on Dota2 load.

Edit: Didn't refresh and see it was already answered.

What menu must you be on to bring up the console? I've tried from the main menu and in game and nothing works.

Options - Metagame.

Edit: Uh, it works anywhere. I guess that didn't really answer your question but that's where you bind it.

Nothing opens when I press the button. I've tried changing it from ` to M and it still doesn't open.

In steam -> Library -> DotA2 (right click) -> Properties -> launch options -> type in "-console" -> Ok.
Console should now open automatically once you enter the game. Use ` to use it/ turn it off.

I don't need a sophisticated answer but what in general makes a good team? In terms of a good balance / variation between Carry's, Pushers, Gankers, Supports ect? What do you think a good variation is

example : ganker, pusher, carry, support ,support. Of course different heroes abilities are different but yeah.

I hope this makes sense -__- Sorry if it doesnt.

Pusher isn't really a role as I've heard them defined, while semi carry is (mirana being the most commonly picked).

A team usually needs one player that plays carries, one that does semis and gankers, then the last three should be a technical ganker that is very good with certain heroes and the last two variations on support players. At a good level all can play all roles though, just that they are better suited for some.

I could swear that it's happened on a lot of heroes this patch for me. Like having Antimage blink randomly.

Has anyone found a way to prevent random spells from being cast? I was playing tide earlier today and kept getting random anchor smashes.

As noted above, Doom will deal damage and most likely kill the courier. If it hasn't changed from Dota 1, chronosphere will not pause the courier.

Other things that affect courier (some may be obvious):

- Culling Blade (kills)
- Backstab (Bounty Hunter WW, lothars)
- Critical strike
- Cleave
- Ensnare (Naga Siren and neutral Troll)
- Dismember (no damage)
- Amplify damage
- Krobelus ghosts
- Fiends grip (no damage)
- Lifebreak (no damage)
- Demonic Purge (no damage)
- Possibly Nether Strike (no damage) after recent patch

There are probably others, most single target ultimates go through magic immunity and as a result a lot of them are listed above, but only Doom will damage through magic immunity. For example, you can Finger of Death, Laguna or Assassinate a courier but they wont do damage. I'm assuming that a lot of these interactions have not been changed from Dota 1.

On this note, I've seen Kunkka splash kill it several times and I'm pretty sure that's a bug. Can anyone confirm?
