Although some was done in a good job such as Prophet or skeleton king(wht a badass look now)


I actually like the new storm spirit. He's a hilarious energetic mustached fat chinese man.

But yea some of the designs are kinda bad (Venomancer, you radioactive lizard, i'm looking at you, you freak). I'm guessing they'll sell different skins? Who knows.


Within Chinese commentary, they used to call him 蓝猫, litterally blue cat, car from panda. But becuz thts changed, players felt weird whilst playing him and calling him a blue cat. I guess theres Pros & Cons to it.

Selling different skins like TF2 hats or LOL? If its free then i dont mind paying(hopefully) a few dollars to change.

I think they're selling cosmetics as in like, what shape of their weapon, hats, monocles, gauntlets, shoulder armor pads, etc. They won't do the whole skin of a character different like LoL or HoN do, thats never been valve's thing.

And sometimes "电猫“ or "electric cat". Also "blue" is what Chinese casters refer to as "mana"... because the bar is blue. "Little blue" is clarity and whatnot.

Ah my bad, i always thought blue cat its cuz the panda was blue itself.

Cosmetics would be nice, but would players be able to see them stand out during the game?

pincers not quite big enough, walk looks vastly inferior to the dota1 walk animation. also dota1 epicenter cast animation was a damn epic animation, new one is ok but looks kind of dumb to me.

I wholeheartedly agree on everything you said, but they didn't fuck it up as bad as some other heroes the epicenter in dota 1 was truly amazing. It's easier to sneak in a random channeled ulti though, in Dota 2 now that the animatino is more subtle tahn in Dota 1 lol

Lich, cm

Earthshaker isnt an easy hero at all. Fissure placement stresses extreme positioning, a mid to high tier trait.

If I were trolling you I'd say play Chen.

ES is probably one of the most difficult initiator/ganker/supports there are lol, the idea of staying retardedly underlevelled, roaming, not taking exp or last hits, fissure placement, pulling/stacking, etc. is nuts.

Easiest heroes generally are Lich, Tidehunter, CM, if you want to beat bots though, for the most part supports aren't going to do it lol

I'd recommend Viper for people just starting, pretty basic and can be hella tank while dishing out worthwhile damage

Does anyone know in Dota 2, does targeting your own creeps when a tower is attacking you force the tower to re-choose who to attack?

My dota two client starts up fine but then ends up at the main screen and nothing else is there besides the main tabs at the top. The middle of the screen with the two closed doors just stays closed.. No names, cant join chat clients or anything, is this something wrong on my end?

Looks like this

Or restart steam if it's not because the servers are down, this will fix it (its a common bug).
