gonna upload 2 replays from me
first one pissed me off really bad:
http://download.yousendit.com/3AEE52353CF6C4D0
we were playing a funwar with a combo we usually dont use alot
problem is that i moved to my parents place 3 weeks ago, didnt play any dota for 2 weeks PLUS the mouse of my dad sucks sooooooooooo hardcore
every1 who watches the replay will see why i was pissed at that crap mouse after about 2 min and 15 seconds, with my mouse i would have gotten FB
still, i got eventually used to it and played a nice funwar with pugna, our opponents were doing pretty good, was a fun game overall, even tho only 3 out of us 5 are from our best lineup
2nd replay:
http://download.yousendit.com/70C01A7F4C206BA2
just to show how much a spectre rapes if scourge gets into lategame, even if the spectre gets owned by a trilane early game and takes for fucking ever to farm radiance
RPF, even if u dont wanna learn pugna or spectre i still recommend to dl and watch the games cause they will give you a basic idea of how a team with ventrillo functions (buying wards, ganking etc)
p.s.: funwars, we didnt take them very serious, usually we buy more wards and concentrate more
and my mouse sucks!

I'm thinking... this server i've been playing on is currently down, and I've lost all my CD-keys.
Is anyone interested in a dota over hamachi - or will there be a big lag if it's 5v5?
|
im down for dota over hamachi, just give us a specific date and time, it'll be easier to get a match going that way because we don't seem to have a really big active dota population at tl

Hm, Strafe, I got a question about Lich. I started off going dual bracers, like always, then built straight into a soul booster so I could go scepter, but I got a lot of shit from another teammate because I went bracers before going soul booster, so my question is this: if you intend to go scepter eventually, should you go soul booster first or bracers/talismans?
I mean, the bracers regen is .36hp/.24mp /sec., right? The regen on the soul booster is better, but more expensive (3300 vs. 1020), and then you lose that regen when you get the scepter, as straight +hp/mp isn't the same as +str/int.
I think I did the right thing. I have a large enough health pool to stay alive during the back and forth harass from other players, and it boosted my mana pool enough, too.
I wish I'd saved that replay. The commentary was hysterical. The kid playing pugna kept running into me and other nukers, and he'd just die in 2 sec. and throw a tantrum.

hmmmm, well with lich I don't get the point of making bracers if you are going aghanim anyway. I make bracers to get more HP and survive, when you are making aghanim a point booster is a whole lot better for that. In general I think of bracers as a waste of money and a necessary evil so I try not to make them whenever I can.
Dunno exactly for lich items anymore, I used to go mekansm and aghanim and bot and then w/e but thats not really good for team support:O

btw if any of you want to see a hero in action just say which one and I'll play a dota-league game with it

I'd like to see you play:
Magna
Drow
Sniper
Axe
Juggernaut
And I'd still like to see you play Lich. I know what you mean about bracers being an expensive waste, but they are necessary at times. I can see why going straight to soul booster/scepter could be better than going bracers, but I guess each has it's good and bad sides.
Bracers net you a good amount of overall stats, mana, health, and regen. The boost adds a noticeable amount more mana, and has significantly better regen. The scepter itself loses the regen, but nets a higher total health and mana.

with awesome bnet delay and vs sucky opponents :D

well brain you are just as bad as the players i play against so I dont understand what you are complaining about. the only difference is taht you have watched 5000 replays so maybe make some better items at times, not sure;o i can play just fine with a little delay, im not bitching about 70ms

Well, for Juggz, you should rush BoTs and Bracers. BoTs help you chase with fury, but you need life from Bracers. You can get some other damage item after that.
Sniper can be played in many ways, you can go for large mana in order to spam Assasinate, a push build with Scattershot, or try to carry by going for MKB. I actually just played a game yesterday as Sniper in a pub, and went 20-2, even though it was essentailly 3v5. MKB, Heart, Assault Cuirass, BoTs, Aegis and Bracer, with Skadi on chicken at the end of the game.
I would probably just go damage with Drow, Butterfly or something. In most cases, you're only there for the slow and the silence, until you've farmed up a nice DPS item.
I probably wouldn't get Bracers with Lich, since a Point Booster gives both, and is much more useful late game when it's made into scepter. Getting two bracers delays you about 1 booster, but it does give good bonuses early on.

you should start playing hamachi and listchecker
after you have done that for some weeks, you will complain about bnet too !

Can't imagine Scepter being better than Refresher on Lich; I guess I would go Meka/Point Booster to Void and see what I need to do for the team from there; Void gives me pretty much every option bar Book.

Speaking of items, check out this noobish stuff I got
I didn't plan to die this game but my team left me all alone on several occasions and I couldn't handle 1v5 before dagger.

By the way, HOW THE FUCK DO YOU COUNTER BLOODSEEKER?
It's seriously the most cowardly hero in the game. You can't run from him, as if you do, you die, and if you can somehow stare him down, he still kills you.
Or does he just counter Axe?
Edit: If I have a hero I intend to go heart or scepter on, like axe (eventually I go heart after vanguard/dagger) or lich, should I not get bracers and put that gold towards a vitality booster? Or should I still get some stat items earlier on?

If you're axe just fight bloodseeker..
|
if you are anything, just fight blooseeker..
|
get a tp scroll to counter bloodseeker
