EPTMy question is how do you deal with Keepers nuke? He can keep a safe distance and hard harass/farm while preventing me from farming/supporting because the few Last hits I can get between blasts I end up spending on mana/health regen just to be able to stay in the lane longer but mostly Im way back at <50% health avoiding being killed. The fact that I am not killing creeps and he only nukes at the right time to last hit means he can tower hug when Im at high health and push hard when Im close to death because i can't get anywhere near him. What's the best way to deal with it?

Or if you're close enough, just go fucking kill him, he can't do shit apart from the nuke tried that, and trust me I do my best to dodge them, when i can hear/see him cast but when he tower hugs and hides in the fog or in the trees and you can't see it till too late. What you're saying works in mid lane with a ward on their side of the river though, that much i figured out a bit too late though. ^^ | ||

For example, you're Radiant top lane against their Kotl. You place a ward either behind their tower (in between tiers 1 and 2 but much closer to 1) or in front of their tier 1, but high enough no the lane to give you vision of their tower and the horizontal part of the lane extending to the right (towards the dire base). | ||

deny as much as you can and also if hes timing his waves to get last hits then as long as you dont feed kills you should come out ahead you dont need the farm as much as pa, who obviously isnt getting any if kotl takes all of them | ||

The first game I randomed shadow fiend and went solo mid, the second game I randomed Omniknight and took long lane with lifestealer against KotL and PA. My question is how do you deal with Keepers nuke?

What's the best way to deal with it? Play him yourself 3-4 games. Try to do the same thing your opponents do. That's the best way to learn the difficulties and problems with a hero or a playstyle!  | ||

Is there any good chat channel/community/whatever place to start? I'd rather not jump into actual matches and start feeding like a boss.... Stickied Threads are your best buddies. Also the bots in this game are awesome. =) | ||

Coming from sc2, playing vs the AI is only useful for the very basic things like hotkey usage. Under the Play tab, there is an option to play vs bots, with 4 other live people against 5 bots. And they are actually pretty good. Most of those, your human allies might leave game, but it's worth staying in to practice, learn items, hotkeys, etc. | ||
