(To the previous discussion about "super creeps?" and leavers. Or "Mega Creeps" from destroying the racks?).
In DotA I play with the AI and always have scmcst at least (super creeps, mirrored super creeps, and super towers). Basically super creeps is the standard once every 10 minutes, super creeps spawn. Mirror super creeps randomly (1-4 minutes) spawns super creeps on both sides of the team.
Super Towers gives all structures 8 HP regen (makes up for the fact that super creeps can be really good against towers)
Playing against AI is fun (no leavers). Though note that the AI actually moves faster (I think it gains +1 or +2 MS every level. So at level 15+ it's nearly impossible to defeat an AI 1v1 unless you have a way of slowing or stunning since the AI runs fast). AI can be found on the official dota site in the forums (under AI section I think. Haven't checked in a while).

I chose to believe there is, except it's usually very bad mannered, sounds like a 15 year old and tends to rage if you kill it. I choose not to believe that they are actual people :< Makes me have more faith in the human race that way.

I find it really distasteful when the ai dies it blames the other ai on it's team calling the rest of the team trash.

Be level 7 before 35 minutes <3
A more real answer- there's a little wriggle you have to do with ss- after the first hand you move forwards a bit to make certain the aoe covers everything. Every good ss always does this, it makes him look a little funny. Just go into practice mode to try it out.
The Chinese Dota Scene's gotten a lot more interesting lately 1) with Ehome, LGD, CCM, DK, and Tyloo all looking strong and with relatively even chances between any of them 2) push based strats with picks like lycan ~_~

And then proceeds to call the hero of the other team "op"
I love Moraxus. Everything he has is awesome! AOE stun, Skill shot 3rd move (the axes that allow last hitting and skill shots), clutch shield for the twitchers and a powerful ulti.

2 is because laning metagame is changing ever since 3 solos jungle-roam or roam-roam, so we end up seeing a 1-2-1 and jungle in tyloo vs dk game 1 something DK didn't handle well at all especially on top and mid (not to mention DK had incredibly risky picks which pretty much sealed the fate when the game didnt go their way)
3-1-1 trilanes arent done much if at all these days

Same here, otherwise I wouldn't allow my children to be born in this world.

You forgot HoN metagame is ~2 years behind dota
hon lacks some heroes and slightly different mechanics that made this happen in dota, you say that like theyre 99% the same game.
if that were so, its at most a year "behind" chinese dota. euro dota hasnt exactly done this yet but with all these replays and vods i think itll be picked up fast if it really is a worthwhile metagame change. it may not even be worth it to play like this in hon, im not sure since i dont know the nuances of the game.
at this rate with how euro teams are assembling, ESWC might be another chinese rape

Tanky as hell and I love his expressions ;D!
Assuming that you ALWAYS build portal key on him good on you! Also some advice on the shield, it will actually proc off valks arrow, voodoo's cask in mid flight and i believe (clarification?) Plague riders ultimate mid flight (as in already hit an ally).
Hey everybody, I have been playing dota quite often for the past 2 weeks lately after not playing the game for sooo long. I've gotten the hang of things now but i wish to improve my experience. Are there any of you like interested in playing together because as we all know pub games can just yield fucking stupid waste of time games because of leavers. Im kind of newb on how to use B.net with party (if thats even possible in wc3). I used to play in Garena like 3-4 yrs ago but when i try to go to their site it goes to like some weird russian place. link to my post with a picture of what i see: + Show Spoiler +
any help if u guys know any possible solution would be nice. I also been watching alot of alia's stream whenever he is on. Im also thinking that if i get a group to play with, i will try something i did numerous times a long time ago where I try and get a win with all the heroes in the game. PM me if u are interested
EPT
