I always thought damage was before cast but silence was after cast. Can anyone confirm? | ||

Tested void and OD. Don't feel like fishing anymore. | ||

Try not to play overly aggressive early on and dive towers, reason being if you die way early you could start getting flamed by your teammates which is annoying. Then having to play a game with any teammate muted is a disadvantage. Just be nice and play your game, mute flamers, continue to learn and have fun. Good luck! | ||

I've played probably 10 or so games with a few heros working on last hitting as well as watching a bunch of videos on how to lane and pull and solo-mid and all those nuanced things (for a beginner anyway). When should I take the plunge? Is there any sort of macro-benchmarks I should be hitting against the BOTS before I go into pub play? Any thoughts would be appreciated. Hard Bots will play about 10x better than any newbie ladder games you get thrown into. I'd say as long as you got a nice lockdown on how to last hit, just go into matchmaking. Don't try to pussyfoot around it and just take the plunge. You will suck a bit, but it's part of the process. | ||

I play on a laptop that has 16-9 native but I also plug that laptop in to a monitor that's 16:10 so I have to change resolution every time I play (well I don't have to, but I like native resolution). Just wondering if there's a good way to do this, perhaps with autoexec file. Not the biggest deal, but the picking screen doesn't change resolutions until a client restart and sometimes my game crashes when I change resolution so ite's quite annoying. You could try to use the launch options and fiddle around with that. Rightclick in your steam library, Properties, "Set Launch Options". As an example of what I'm using (I'm forcing the game to run in 16: 9 instead of my native 16:10 because 16: 9 displays more of the action on the screen) "-windowed -noborder -h 1440 -w 2560" ... just adjust the numbers for what you'd like to have and see how it goes. Random tip since there might be lots of new people around since TI2: if you use "-international" in the launch options you get the sexy calming blue TI2 loading screen instead of the evil rage-inducing red one. =P | ||

AKA, retired ex-professional who still understands the game. Tobi knows absolutely nothing about DotA on a deeper level and he is really, really bad at the game. Just try to remember his tutorial on furion, his most played hero.. | ||
