other heroes i'd recommend checking out are skeleton king, windrunner, sandking, and antimage. they arent necessarily EASY but get strong quite easily

I told my brother who has only played LoL to try out DK and he's having a good time with him. Maybe it will be good for you too. Think try stick with the Strength carries, they tend to dominate pubs.

Sometimes my mouse cursor glitches out during a game, and stays glitched in Windows. The only way I've found to restore it is to reboot, which I dislike to do. Anyone had this/know how to fix?

Iv had that problem all the time but it only happens to me when I alt-tab. It doesnt bother me in the least because i like having a smaller cursor and it just feels more precise to me. I think its just a known bug and we have to wait for valve to do something, not sure though.

If you actually provide context to what you're talking about and show examples, you can actually make a decent thread. Don't ask dumb questions like this on the Simple Q&A forums please.
Perhaps state what aghanims does for Dark Seer, NAME the actual hero instead of "DS", and provide examples or discriptions of what you mean.

It goes away for me whenever I target a spell or attack move.

If you actually read the Original Post (OP), there's a list of guides for beginners. Go to page 1 of this thread.

Damage and tendencies. Some players like spamming their hotkeys regularly out of habit so post manta they might deselect their images temporarily. Damage is fairly obvious, either done by the images or taken by the images.

That said, I hate the multiple unit selection interface in Dota 2. Playing Chen/Enchantress/Necros is like significantly more difficult.

Agreed, I wish there was a way to say, hit tab and it cycles through all units selected to use their skills. One game my friend played Lina and DC'd, I was playing CM, and I was controlling both heroes but I just wanted a way to move both but hit tab so i can switch back and forth between the fucking bevy of Q's W's and R's of the two heroes. It was hopeless.

go watch Navi vs J4T.. i was looking for some comp discussion topic but this was the closest, i didnt want to open a new topic.


"That said, I hate the multiple unit selection interface in Dota 2. Playing Chen/Enchantress/Necros is like significantly more difficult."

i had zero problem with chen, can u elaborate what function do you miss? there are a couple of custom commands not in the options menu available only via .cfg config but i think all unit command and tab cycle works the same by default.

The unit selection icons. They're placed right above the hero portraits with little icons. There's no clear indication what unit you had selected or what will be selected in the middle of a team fight when you cycle through your units. I never used the tab function in Dota 1 since the grouping function was ass and illogical at times. Basically, using a specific unit then back to multiple units and then back to a specific unit is pretty either different or just poorly coded.

The necros are too fucking dark and pretty much have camo in a team fight when you pop them.

Pretty sure he didn't mean for it to be a serious discussion, he was sayhing it half jokingly but if you really do want context for some reason

Agh's for dark seer lets teammates replicate in the wall, example? Well the only one you'll find is Navi vs J4t and that shit was fucking ridiculous. Plant a wall just outside tier threes, have teammates run back and forth, since the replicants do 90% attributed damage which scales the whole game, and as soon as it dies it instantly replciates again. This is just for your teammates though, if you vacuum in even just 3 enemies, it means there are 13 heroes dealing damage to the tower and eventually the barracks. Theres no way to fight out of it.

You mean Aghs puts his ulti back to brokeness especially when used in conjunction with pipe? Yeah.

Edit:

Yes, it's broken, dont even try to argue otherwise. There's a reason why that shit was changed in the first place.
