But how can a hero with a 5 second blink be hard?

Cos you're bad @ Kassadin.

Seriously though, it seems like she's trading away a lot of utility for that blink, which means you have to use it really well. The blink probably won't get maxed until her other two skills? So it'd be like 12second cd for most of the game. Plus it pops projectiles and when I play dota I can't see shit much less figure out what projectile is coming at me, lolol.

I never got into dota because the only heroes I liked were lanaya, puck and chen, all of which were way too hard for a moba noob.

add me to group please

How do you actually join a custom channel, I can only click on the rooms from the premade list..

And no the autoexec stuff didnt work.

IF THIS FAILS TRY THIS:
1) open config.cfg
2) find the parameter "dota_camera_speed"
3) change the area around it to something like this:

dota_camera_speed "5000"
dota_custom_channels "teamliquid;LiquidParty;"
dota_gamescom_althack "0"


Seems like the last patch broke the autojoin stuff in the autoexec.cfg for whatever reason. qq.

@all: k, got everyone except for dismiss added because steam doesn't like him. =D


Did you try the suggestion for if autoexec doesn't work?





Because if yes, I'm kinda lost there. I still autojoin my TL/LP channels but I just tried to add reddit to my autojoin and it doesn't work no matter where I add it. Time to check Valve forums, I guess. -.-

Can't do it guys...can't do it. I'm 1-3 with windrunner with all scores going 8+/1-3/X. I'm thinking the only way to raise my MMR here is with partying because I keep getting all the players who are worse than me TT.

Anyway, actual question, who would you recommend is a newb friendly hard carry hero to play? I've mostly just done in houses with redditnoobs channel, but in my soloq games it feels like lvl 1-5 in LoL all over again

2) By being one of the most positioning-dependent heroes in the game, while also being one of the most punishing for positioning errors
3) By having some of the most diverse and situational item selection in the game

Hard carries are actually a really poor way to win pub games. Regardless of the stage of the game, your teammates usually won't do a good job in creating the room you need to farm, and you'll often lose games before they can get to the point where they're under your control.

The best heroes for winning pub games are semicarries with strong lategame potential--you can take control of the game early, and maintain your strength throughout. So long as you use your advantage to suppress the development of heroes that are stronger than you lategame, you shouldn't be afraid of "harder" carries because they will be less farmed than you. Someone like Mirana or Windrunner isn't scared of Spectre if Spectre is a full big item behind her.

Windrunner is actually a fairly good semicarry for winning pub games. Others to try would be Night Stalker, Mirana, or Viper.

So. I just played a bot game. My first ever full game of DOTA. I was DK. I got like 3 kills. Died only 10 or so times. And we lost. I had most CS on my team and Ursa spent the whole game telling everyone we sucked.

Is autobuy a good idea for the newest of noobs? Also who is the EASIEST champ to learn. Like the one that can stay alive the easiest, still do some dece damage, and has a clear build/role? Just give me one to learn.

Actually, QoP is very, very similar to kassadin. Not really even close to ezreal.

DK is actually a really good newbie champ, you should stick with him. You can lvl up his E early as a crutch, then ween yourself off it as you get better at laning.

If (prenerf) kassadin was my favorite hero to play by far in LoL, would it be possible to start playing with QoP or would it be impossible to learn anything because she's too hard?
