[LiquidParty] DotA2 Learning Group ^.^ - Page 21

Prev 1 19 20 21 22 23 57 Next
While this thread is labeled "DotA2", this is in fact a community thread first. Many of the users in the TL LoL subforum have been playing as friends for over a year now, so it makes logical sense that they would want to play other games together.

Do not compare DotA2 to LoL, you will get banned.

TL LoL veterans know what is expected. Newcomers be warned.

always fun to learn a new game when you THINK you know how shit works. I played dk last night, maxing stun, only to find out that the stun is only ranged when you are in dragon form. Shit made me so sad.

Especially since I even knew not to upgrade ult till level 15.

Wrong.

You take level 2 ulti if you can get unhampered farm or if you need to solo push fast as fuck. It's how you clear stacks of ancients instantly.

It's not a hard and fast rule, but yes, poison is more useful for keeping people slowed and killable.

Yeah when you get rank 2 ulti as DK is actually pretty situational and comes a lot down to player experience.

Also, get Stats over ranks 2-4 of Dragon Tail.

Look at the scaling on your stun :D It's really terrible and not worth getting past lvl 1 over skills.

I'm still trying to imagine wtf that thing is supposed to be, I didn't dare googling for it. =D


In other news I think I found the BEST (yes, the B E S T) youtube channel for learning some basic shit:

http://www.youtube.com/user/ProfessorFiercE/videos?view=0

Sadly there aren't that many videos but what's up there is short, entertaining and full of info. Check the DotA 2 playlists.

Updating the item guide when I have a chance this afternoon.

Evo, just link my post instead of copy-pasting it into the OP. It will save you some trouble if I decide to update it in the future.

I put the OP on a diet, should look much better now. I also linked to your - rather short - "which heroes work for LoL players"-post in case you ever want to edit that one.

I've been playing dota 2 for a while now, can't believe I didn't see this before! I'll definitely be giving this a shot, I've mostly played with friends (some of whom are way better than me) up until now :D

Lego games are actually pretty good, at least the ones i've played so far. Surprisingly, they're pretty age-independent.

Watching pro games, I see a lot of situations where people are pushing a tower with creeps, the tower starts attacking them, and then they somehow drop aggro from the tower back to the creeps without going out of range. Does anybody know how this is done?

a-click (attack+left click) on one of your own creeps (no matter which health), then the tower switches aggro off you. Also works for minions (e.g. Chen/Ench creeps or Lycan wolves). Also usually surprises people if you tell them about it in pub games.
