So, before we get 6.50 what do you think are the best hero combos for Scourge and Sentinel?
I did some testing with my friends and pretty sick combo with scourge would be:
Lich
Shadow Fiend
Magnataur
Tidehunter
Pitlord

It's quite astounding what happens when you do it like:
Tide ulti -> magna ulti -> pitlord pit+rain+explosions -> lich ulti -> sf ulti
Horrendous damage and enemies can't really do much about it, definitely can't run away.

We didn't manage to come up with similarily good sent lineup though Any ideas?

btw. 6.50 beta has been leaked:

speaking of Pit Lord, how come people dont use his ult more to gank? doesnt seem hard, just have an allied hero or 2 stand next to pitlord and select a lane where your creeps are nearby his hero..

also doing some theorycrafting, seems like Expulsion (an ability many forego it seems) would be kind of decent with ES's ult

Is 6.50 supposed to have big changes? I've been bored with dota for a while and will only get back into it if there's a bunch of new heroes / items to try out

Mass AoE is owned at lanes now. 1-1.5 years ago, It was all about area damage and own but now, at competitive play you need good lane controllers and gankers, this team will owned and with mass BKB's you can't do nothing.

There's no dream hero combo atm, everything depends on your teammate's style and choice to control your lane good.

Pitlord and Tide are trash. And even lich is only used only in anti-specific hero situations. I do believe AoE play could work well at low levels (CAL-O) because people are not good/coordinated enough to effectively slow you down enough.

But as said, you will be punished to no end by a good team.

I'm curious, how do you jungle effectively?

I've tried it with heroes like Naix (the old one) and Axe, but after about level four I fall behind in levels. I don't have a replay so obviously people can't pick out specific mistakes, but some general tips on how to effectively jungle would be good.

I always avoid the higher level neutral creep spots until I'm actually high enough to take them on, so I don't know.

Most heroes jungle differently. Typically heroes that rely on bottle are the best at jungling because it's such a strong way to stay in the lane.

Naix is an example of a hero that can't really jungle before gaining some levels in lane first - he's just too slow.

Furion, on the other hand, is like a really easy jungle - can do with just clarities.
hmm.

There's the jungling B-trio!

Beastmaster
Broodmother
Bristleback

All heroes that have perfect jungling capability with not much more than some Clarities and later on a Bottle (Broodmother does fine with just a Ring of Basilius, no Bottle needed).

Not to mention other good jungling heroes like

Undying
Centaur
Axe

etc.

learn the basic idea to jungle with your hero (some just attack move like undying, some can easily double or triple pull spawns like furion and beastmaster, etc)
learn the jungle pulls

and practice a bit.
i had a chart somewhere that showed all the timings. i dunno where it is. if in doubt, pull at ;53. bottom sentinel into lane pull is at ;15 or ;45, lowest level scourge is at ;11 or ;41

here's a vid that got me to practice jungling:


btw jungling sux.

edit: can't find my chart, so i shamelessly steal some from internet

respawn zones = if anything is in that area during the respawn time, nothing will spawn. this includes corpses, heros and so on. corpses take 16seconds to decay iirc

What do you mean?
IIRC there is a protection if you try playing it in multiplayer, so you have to spoof your name to IceFrog or some tester I didn't have any problems in single player to check out the item changes, so I doubt you would. Also, the hacked versions of Xantan have this protection removed.
If the map doesn't start at all, probably the download screwed up and you should just redownload.
Once I even had a corrupted download, that actually ran in the game and the map had some strange and widly different textures all over the place, lol.

I'd definitely replace pit lord with sand king or... almost anything else. He's slow and sucks at getting last hit, and his skills aren't very high damage anyways: consider that most stuns will do both the damage and the disable (in a single spell) that two of his skills will manage. And his skill cooltimes aren't even on the low side, either, so in a longer fight you'd get off two skills instead of the one combo that pit lord could do.

btw, those versions of the 6.50 beta are a bit outdated (I think the most recent one that's leaked is Beta version 11 and I'm pretty sure we're on Beta version 14 or 15 now.)

Pitlord , when its allower on Serious league play , will be used in a pusher strat. His last hit is very good , he has 2 aoe skills , 1 aoe disable and has BoT for everyone. The problem is in which lane can pitlord go , so im guessing some of the pro's will find a way to jungle with him effectively.....

Well, that's exactly what I'm saying. His last hit animation may be not very hard to get last hit with, but you have to go through the whole swing for damage, which when coupled with melee range means you're probably going to get hit.

He can't jungle, because his spells cost too much mana.

Pit lord could be useful if he's same level as everyone else and as rich, but that's going to be difficult. There are a lot of heroes that are ruled out of lineups because they have no lane control, and I think pit lord will be one of them.

The new Pit Lord seems to have a fair degree of lane control, any thoughts on that, BD?

Pugna >>>>> Pushers

Lina/Lesh/Zeus >>> Pushers

Tinker > Pushers (much lesser than Zeus)

KotL/Harb/NA > Pushers (you are going to be boned in lanes and during pushes)

Pitlord is still a bad hero, reason why his AoE skills suck is because they are semi-channeling meaning they don't do well early game because there aren't any creeps to take down because of the constant moving of the lanes and Corpse isn't worth shit till late mid.

His BoT is probably now the worst ultimate since the nerf. And Jungling a Pitlord is not going to yield anything significant, hes nowhere near the level of the other junglers in terms of usefulness mid game.

So uh, Pugna will rape lets see 3 of those heroes outright with Ward in team fights, control any combo of those in lanes, yeah best line up ever. Actually, that line up in general will get raped in lanes and in ganks against the standard scourge QoP, Lock, Sand King, Lesh, CK/SK/NA/Mag/Spec/FV/TB/etc.

Not to mention no one plays LM anymore.
