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.

Miss dota1 courier so much(also miss penguin courier). According to some dev blog, courier models are going to be one of the things that will be sold in the cosmetic item shop.
If the price was right I'd probably buy a couple, diverse courier models clearly wins games.

Just finished playing for like 4h straight with soniv, T_D and some other guys. I'm gonna take a break right now but there were 2 people on who wanted to play.
People should start afking in the steam group chat (not ingame) that would make things a lot easier.
PS: If I can carry dna with a first time weaver, you can do it too!

Yeah I'll jump in the chatroom when I get home in about half an hour Hopefully you guys have a couple more games in you and you can experience my terror bloodseeker!

Who was he farming with? She's typically not a babysitter(although she certainly has the skills to work as one), so it's not abnormal for her to take a farm position(solo vs duo/trilanes).
She actually is scary as shit with good farm too. Force Staff/Guinsoos WR is beast.

It was either Weaver or Death Prophet on radiant hard lane. We had CM and DK on bot.

Though Western teams play her on higher positions way more often than Chinese teams.

With that teamcomp, I would expect her to just get something like 50-70 CS and end the game with something like Force Staff + Janggo (assuming DP is getting Mekansm, which she should be). It's fine if she's taking time to farm clearing up lanes, but if there's a legitimately easy to farm big wave pushing to you, that should be for Weaver, DK, or DP.

He already had Force Staff and Mek.
He wanted to buy MKB. :|

You can try Mirana. The autoattacks feel similar. You also tend to get more farm since you're in the semi-carry role most of the time.

That would work. I need to master all of the competitive heroes so that I'll be ready when Na'vi or a chinese team comes calling.

Get carried by my Death Prophet with Dagon, npnp

Hey guys. I just got a beta key today, and as i plyed quite a lot of LoL lately, heavily lurking this subforum, i thought i'd come play with you guys.
http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561197980862122
I remember playing lich and enigma quite a lot a few years ago, but I havent play dota for like 6-7 years. I plan to play jungle mostly ( as i did in lol), so what are the heros i should learn in order to fit most team comp. I was thinking Enigma and Furion, and later Chen ( microing 3creep + hero too hard :p). Any other i should learn ?

Not a hero I'd recommend until you've got a good grasp of the other heroes in the pool and all the items.
Mirana was a good suggestion.

Yay just got a beta key of my own! (No need to continue using my friend's.)
Can you change my username to WaveofShadow and also add me to the group if you can? I can't add friends myself for some retarded reason, only others can add me. http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198025565349

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.
