Anyone know if you can use Veil of Discord while channeling a spell(e.g. Black Hole)? Can you generally use items without breaking channel?

Can you permanently change hero hotkeys? I see that you can do a grid setup for all heroes but I want to know if it's possible to customize each one.

Completely random question: How come on Dendi's stream, his Dota2 account is level 6 and is gaining experience, while I cannot? Is it a bug or am I missing out on something obvious.


Before giving out beta keys, Valve had XP gains enabled. This allowed players who were part of the international to gain XP. For whatever reason, Valve disabled that when they gave out invites.
The only barrier to truth is the presumption that you already have it. It's through our pane (pain) we window (win though).

Im an average player who plays mostly MM (all pick). I was wondering if there was a chart that says what heros counter what heros. Kind of like how the starcraft unit descriptions say good vs blah blah blah and bad vs blah blah blah.

Or even better, a program where I can tell it 1-5 heros picked on other team and it generates the best theoretical hero solution to pick.

Every single game in my level (lowest lv1 possible) ppl either chose a stealth char or buy that stealth dagger (forgot the name) what is the best cost efficient item to avoid those pubstompers but without being so behind in gold ?

I might not be in a position to give advice, so take it as u wish. In lower level play, those stealthy char (usually carries) end up farming or feeding as the whole team is not advanced enough to either gank them often or try to push and win so buying dust might not help as you wont be able to gank them (no team support)

But in general, your only options are picking a hero like slardar or BH or buying dust (necro book is hard to use for lower player i find) If they pick something like broodmother, you should get wards on that lane.

I always love a good challenge. So I'm going to put all my time and effort into mastering Invoker.

So far, this is what I've gathered to do, so I want some confirmation:

Phase Boots / Janggo / Aghanims are my core. Quas/Wex maxed up first, dance between EMP/Tornado all day. Fuck people up early game, become a mass disabler late game. Anything I'm missing?

You might want to work Euls into your build before Agh's. It's great on Invoker for both the mana regen and move speed, and an extra disable is never bad.

Eul's is a playstyle choice, and is hardly necessary. European Invoker players get Eul's quite often, but as far as I'm aware, Chinese Invoker players almost never buy it in competitive games, opting for Force Staff or a faster Sheepstick instead.

as of yet there is no such chart, because basically there is no "hardcounter" there are heroes that are good to pick against others because they work well against a single or a few aspects but there is no such thing as a hardcounter, its not like get 3 immortal kill 24 roach or w/e.

I don't generally get Aghanims until I start getting some more points in exort. 5 second cooldown is fine when you only really have 4 spells you want to spam out in a team fight (ghost walk is an escape mechanism, deafening blast gives good CC in some cases). Also, unless you get some mana regen first (euls, sheepstick, or anything else you want really), you are going to face mana problems.

Also, if you are just starting invoker, you might want to tone it down a little, at least for a few games. I know my first invoker game I barely used invoke after getting tornado/EMP. I didn't get ags because it took 5 seconds to remember the key combination anyway .

Well there are SOME hard counters...Sand King vs Broodmother, Slardar vs invis heroes, but I mean you're never really going to have one hero counter all 5 opposing heroes so in that sense the hero you have won't counter a team it can just outlane a single hero.

Why are so many people who play this game the biggest dickheads in the world? And I don't mean flaming because of bad teammates, i mean throwing games on purpose repeatedly. Is that somehow fucking fun?
