This game is such a fucking waste of time. If I don't pick S tier heroes then my team can't win a game to fucking save their lives. Better things to do than to play naix or bat every game with this recent bout of shitty matchmaking.

Game starts, someone picks Alchemist. Cool. Creeps spawn; *Alchemist: I jungle". Im like ok this is weird. Of course he proceeds to feed and do nothing usefull in the game but yeah hes alchemist, you might think hes got awesome farm 45min in to the game ? Well, he had a Vlad and a Sange, _45_ minutes in to the fucking game. Can someone confirm this is even possible

Eh, I've seen worse. Alchemist in general has to be one of my least favorite heroes in the game.

Why do so many Invoker players build Midas first? Especially when you're laning against TA and losing your lane ~_~

invoker is level dependant, so an early midas will help him snowball more than other heroes

When you're dying in lane to a hero like TA, though? He went Midas before even getting brown boots, which led to at least 3 extra deaths.

I can understand getting a Midas on him when you're winning your lane or you're playing a safe lane Invoker, so you can have more of an impact during the midgame, but not when you're 1v1 against a hero that can easily kill you.

probably because of the "Invoker Invoking Invocations" vid, that has a 6slotted Invoker wreck entire teams with combos.

I admit, I tried to emulate that vid myself and go midas too. Did not work (incidently I tried 2 times, both were against a TA, lost the lane both times V_V)

I think the midas invoker is just people copying pros who stomp with him on streams. It is actually good if you're ahead, more for the bonus XP I would say, I've seen it in a pro game for this purpose at least once. A lot of people copy these sort of things in pubs and just fail. Sort of annoying that people are more inclined to copy troll pubstomp builds of pro players rather than things like consistent warding and lane control.

Bad luck streak on pubs. 6 matches lost in a row because I only get noobs on my team.

TA was weak and almost dead.

Me: Zeus, use your ult.

Nothing.

A minute later

TA: Zeus, use your ult.

Fool uses his ult.

People love to feed and mid doesn't gank or fails horribly letting mid get fed too.

For now I'll retire from Dota unless I get a team.

Yeah had one who got vlads and was not even able to finish his sange in 40min... But I find that alchemist is a great hero honestly, people are usually quite bad at farming in pubs so with alch, even if you don't farm that well during the laning stage you can always find some space to catch up in farm and quickly outfarm the ennemy team.
I usually go for maelstrom/shadowblade and try to get some kills, shadowblade helps a lot to land your stun, you can usually do quite a lot with that. It also allows you to farmba bit more safely or even split push a bit.
Then I go maelstrom/ac/abyssal blade and you can really kill people extremely fast with that, it's probably not an optimal build at all but I find alchemist very satisfying.

just was in a game with a 4 man stack where they jacked my aegis, kill secured like a bunch of bitches and threatened to report me 3 times

''lol we're 4 on skype shut up or we report you''
"you want 4 reports?"

naturally i told them to suck my dick
multiple times

i dont know why, but their whole kindergarten attitude ''we tell on you to teacher teehee'' infuriated me so freaking much

edit - next game is a support puck in safelane who rushes force staff laning with SnY BM who doesnt skill or use his summons.
''rosh is up'' must be russian for ''all get as far away from roshan and let the troll get the aegis"
In Soviet Terranistan you rush the Zerg

Man this ain't league of legends you don't have to fucking gank all damn day if you are a mid solo. If you are a mobile hero or have a blink or find a dd or haste rune then by all means gank. I here all too often mid never ganked gg. And to that sir I say "pssssh" some times you opponent has better rune control. And when you are playing with strangers all the time unless you get them to like you enough or prove your skill to them you over time get a group of peeps together then you have to deal with the world 5 stacks with a little more coordination then you syndrome.
we all hope to be like whitera one day

This is true. Mid lane needs to be GANKED by other lanes, not the other way around

Phantom, fucking, Lancer.

I know he's probably not broken on a pro level (altough we don't know yet). But in Pubs, where teamwork is a rarity, tactics are futile, and skills are wanting, he's far too powerful to handle. Even if I go for a strong ganker like Bara, Storm, Invoker or such, you don't stand a chance unless you have your team with you..and in pubs, you simply wont..

Also, we do know he's not broken on a pro level, if he were, he'd be picked a hell of a lot more

He's a strong ganker when I play him o:-)

I don't think he's opened in CM yet? I might be wrong, but I don't remember having seen him yet.
