You get it if you're going to get the parts individually, and have a good-but-fragile momentum going that you don't want to lose by sitting on component items for a while before your next big item finishes. Nobody should *plan* around getting Vanguard at this point. Vit+Hood is 10000x better on ranged heroes. You don't get any extra HP from Vanguard, and the block is extraordinarily weak for ranged. Turn Hood into Pipe later and Vit into Heart. Except there's a bunch of other items that are better for that that are also way more useful for Brewmaster in the long run: Janggo, Vlad's, Point Booster (to turn into Agh's), Plate Mail (to turn into Cuirass later), etc. Would you regularly skip it on slardar, especially if you need to fight before you can get blink? | ||

Is there any way to remedy this? I suggested to him finding an inhouse league to join, but he doesn't know where to start looking at one? | ||

Keep letting him see that you play DotA 2 on steam but never talk to him about it anymore. He'll be back in two weeks max. =P | ||

I'd get Vanguard if I really felt I needed the RoH for lane, and that Bottle and Urn weren't enough regen. The thing about Vanguard is that you commit to spending 875 to Ring of Health, which is quite a lot. For Vanguard to be good, you have to 1) be sure that you actually NEED the RoH, and 2) absolutely need to build the RoH into something and can't afford to wait on more solid items to keep your tempo going. Because of Tranquil Boots, many of the heroes that used to need RoH regen simply don't anymore (and the prevalence of Bottle-Crowing means that a lot of heroes that previously got the RoH can get away with Bottle for 275 less), and many of the ones that still use the RoH are OK turning it into Hood or Battlefury. | ||

2. Is there an option to change the spells bindings like it used to be in DotA? 3. How do you guys bind your spells/items? 4. Can you see creepstats on the scoreboard? So freaking annoying. Maybe I should just get used to it but I fail so hard because of these new hotkeys. Spells are simply burned into my skull. I bind my spells on "azer" but it makes it so annoying to denie. Arff. Yesterday I was trying to play with creeps and I couldn't freaking use tab to toggle between units. Good thing I am always in the right team. Never won so much so easily. Thx Dead9. Fucking azerty-keyboard. First time in my life it annoys me. a-move was always in the top left for me. Think I will go for the 123456 for items or shift/azerty like in WoW Arena. | ||

It's in the same menu as shared unit control (shared unit control automatically applies to Chicken regardless of whether you choose to share anything else). | ||

If you told me that courier was always shared before dota 2 came out I'd say that's a disaster waiting to happen. Not just that, but after I found out it was that way after getting in beta, I still have yet to have a game where someone just constantly feeds courier. I guess these people would get banned but still I've played a shit ton and yet to see 1 game like that. | ||

Fairly new to DOTA, played a lot of LoL though. Few questions here (yes I've read the OP!) K, basically after getting used to mechanics vs bots I've played 9 full 5v5 games for 6 wins, 3 losses (no idea on number of ones with early abandons, seems like a lot). Every game I've played Drow Ranger as she just seems like an easier version of Ashe (if that's actually possible), anyway, on to the questions! Can anyone recommend me a few heroes that are simple? Bonus points if you can compare them to a LoL counterpart for my simplicity and link me a build/guide just to get to know them. Found the drow build I'm using on dotafire. What's the point of out of game levels/battle points? I have some items (2 unopened chests and Demon Blood belt for Axe) is there any way of getting keys without paying cash? I'm moderately interested in cosmetic items but I've never paid for a skin in LoL and have no intention of spending RL money in DOTA. Do I have some measurable form of ranking (ELO/MMR etc) other than wins and losses? What is the "highest level" of play without joining a team? "Captain's Draft" lobbies? - currently I just play all pick and probably will until I know more heroes... Oh and if anyone can answer this question I posted on reddit about a console command it'd be much appreciated! http://www.reddit.com/r/DotA2/comments/vm2bh/any_way_to_change_major_vertical_health_bar/ Thanks in advance! PS: Oh, and I found my way in to the TL chat in game, i'm milesvt on there. | ||
