I am so glad dota2 is coming out soon. what does MK (and DM) being released two weeks ago have anything to do with being in panic mode? they've been releasing a new hero every two weeks and are simply continuing to do so. | ||

If you cannot see the huge difference between these 2 heroes and how their role fit in to their hero universe....never mind, i shall shut up now.

Not only do you not need 200 gpm to Invoker well, your first post said that having 8 skills is messy, while Invoker has 10. If you're going to make bad points, at least make sure there's no gaping holes in logic. | ||

Epic ro32 gsl too epic to sleep =P But what I was saying was your point was so simple and flawed that you should've expected someone to point that out. Aside from that the two heroes are nothing alike, and MoA's two-versions of each ability shares cooldowns. More importantly which the preview doesn't show are the high mana costs when compared to his sub-par stat growth for ranged agi carries which helps balance things out. Very fun hero that is very unique and has lots of potential. Best hero released in a while, although there's other cool ones to come. | ||

I was really good at dota but coming to hon and not rly knowing what any hero did, i'll tell you first hand if you're used to this type of game (and hence, wouldn't appreciate a game where people left in the first 5 minutes - pubs), then you should play ladder and pick - range heroes (prefereably an int hero with a stun) - so you are a support hero - you usually don't initiate as you are a tank, which is good b/c not having the game knolwedge, you wouldn't know WHEN to initiate - do NOT pick an agi hero because it requires really good judgement of when to engage/run in battles in the beginning of the game - judgement you can't make when you don't know much about the game - a different hero every time or every other time - play a hero till you get the feel for it. choose your next hero based on how much you like what you think you saw someone else pick. | ||

Anyways... I agree that it seems messy. It's like they took a bunch of utility skills and just mashed them together haphazardly, with no regard for the overall theme or aesthetic of the hero. A belated RIP to Travitus as well. Very sad story, and I hope something comes of the investigation, however unlikely it might be. | ||

LGD counter grabs xiao8 and DDC from IG, and there are rumors that they're going to find 2 more people and reform the team with ZSMJ However, due to visa issues, LGD will not be going to gamescon and will be replaced by some french team virus IG's new team is now the ridiculously stacked YYF,830,CH,ChuaN,ZHOU,430,SANSHENG, pick any 5 Speaking of stacked teams, DK is almost officially dead now that KingJ and BenZ have also taken "leave", perhaps to join LGD or something They really need to start using player contracts or the scene is going to just become a huge clusterfuck | ||

And they may be stacked but meh, DotA isn't a competition of individual prowness (unless you were KuroKy in Ks.int). | ||
