yeah but if you put it in the back, then they have to go through your army to get it
It isn't that hard to keep it alive for at least 4-5 seconds (maybe more) which is 16-20% hp

Dota is very overrated.

And yes I have played it extensively, and yes I will beat you unless you take DotA way too seriously, such as Ack1027 with his 30 600+ word posts in this thread.


lol this 16 year old immature fag was one of the people who came into my vent when I was recruiting people.

One of the most selfish dota players, has no sense of team work and spends way more time chatting than actually playing. He was going to play in our first preseason league match, never showed up, so we won handily without him and banned him from vent and channel and told him we lost. He kept apologizing but said we take dota too seriously hahaha.

Let go of the grudge romance you aren't that good at dota.

Hey Ack, next time let's play on GGC if that's alright with you.

Hamachi = fail, GG works fine. Although largely dependent on host.

Oh, and I wanted to hear more about how to avoid dying. Is it just intuition to avoid ganks? Or is it necessary on heroes like sniper, zeus, drow, etc., to get a lothar's or dagger so that you have the escape mechanism?

Lothar's is not just an escape mechanism. It's the perfect tool for ganking. Take Ursa, easily one of the best 1v1 heroes (imo. I also think Bane Elemental is very-very good in 1v1, but that's just me. We can agree on Ursa). My build with him (mind you, I'm no expert) is 2 bracers, BoT, Lothar's. Ganking soloing heroes / forest is just too good opportunity to miss.
Complete the cycle!

There are different ways to survive on different heroes.

For example, if I'm viper and I'm soloing bottom as sentinel I'll buy a set of observer wards and put them by the river 1 at a time which will last me a good 12 minutes. That makes it extremely hard for scourge to gank me unless it's at night time and they use tp scrolls so the missing call doesn't get to me in time.

The idea of getting things like lothars and blink dagger is so that you can farm in places that you would otherwise not go. Well, Lothar's which is much less popular than blink dagger is almost purely defensive while dagger goes both ways (more offensive though).

Also what I do every game is check the heroes that can disrupt channeling and if there are only 1 or 2 heroes all I have to do is look out for those on the minimap since tp'ing out with fast reaction will save you.

Another thing is sensing when your opponents are playing differently. This, I think helps more against good players. Good players are less likely to do stupid stuff. So if I'm vs a queen of pain and I have full hp and she blinks in and ss's me, I tp out right away since I'm almost certain some heroes are going to pop out of no where. Sudden aggressiveness is a common sign of ganks.

I got lc host if that's okay with you.

GGC is fine but for like 1-2 of my clanmates they have lots of issues with it so we usually run hamachi or ggc, however if neither of them are on we can just ggc I guess.

Lothars seriously sucks against decent opponents, dagger > lothars.
Ursa usually goes some bracers/RoRs to survive/stay in lane early, then dagger and mass hearts(it's the best item for him, upping both his damage and survivability by a lot). With the recent change to melee, vladimirs can also be beneficial in some situations, because of his insane damage output.

yeah usually bd>lothars for most cases, it's a lot cheaper too
i'd say bd>lothars even for ursa, i see a lotta people getting lothars for ursa and it makes me sad =(
you wont really see ursa in serious games but seriously, you wouldnt be trying to get a lothars for him, you would never have time to farm what you really need which are health items

gem/wards and your invis fail =(

if you keep dying, i would say you should keep a closer eye to your mini map. map sense will help save you a lot, and will help you save your allies and go in for ganks etc
it's nice when you have a team where you dont always have to say "B B !!!" or "GANK!!! *ping ping*"
and instead they know right away what they're doing because they have good mapsense
