actually its a lot different to that photoshop reference, you see in dota heroes like Rexxar (beastmaster) and lich are both original names from wc3 so im sure blizz has a case thereWolfn wrote:

how can you even say "anyone else" would be able to name their game that when the very basis of them contesting it is that they are the only ones with the right toyeahyeahyeahhh wrote:

I heard Techies would be one of the last heroes. Haha, I really want to hear their voice ("muahahahaha" or if he gets a rune).Wolfn wrote:
Someone told me Bristleback would be one of the last heroes to be readmitted into DotA 2. I cried.
Every hero can fail so if played by a noob. I have already seen CM carrying (it failed ofc).Mikey wrote:
techies ruins the game by either:
1. being a complete deadweight on the team not doing shit excvept planting some mines getting a few novelty kills
Get a gem/necronomicon?Mikey wrote:

how is a gem gonna stop a 600 (?) burst damage aoe + random stasis during fights that need to be focusesd down in order to be prevented?Tshemmp wrote:

no im saying a techies can simply drop a remote mine and det it instant killing every single creep and nullifying any attempts at a pushTshemmp wrote:
You have creeps/ranged heroes (if you don't play a terrible pub) on your side. They can destroy mines with one hit. I don't see a problem here.
And scouting/warding is very effective, too. You will know where Techies has his mines and where NOT to go. Yes, you can use your brain. You don't really HAVE to run in his traps.

I got this recently, but I am absolutely new.
Took me three CPU games to figure out you buy items by right clicking, not left clicking >.<
Also, how do you deny (correct term, right?) your own creeps?
I right click them, but I don't kill them.
I really like SingSing, not as a player only, but as a person. His stream is worth watching just because of his comments on the playstyle of othersMagicphoenix wrote:

also my Dota 2 keys have been given out, sorry if you PM'd me and didn't get one. I had plenty of people message me about this.
Man, that was crazy. I've never seen a game like that. Even gold differences with a huge KD differences.Shadoras wrote:
btw did you watch Mousesports vs Evil Geniuses? Best game of the year imo ^^

Might want to try this, http://puu.sh/mNe7
Otherwise wait until tomorrow evening till new patch is out and try reinstall
are you sure that you're clicking transfer items? They changes the button/hotkeys around, so shits different (again). idk why they can't leave it T_Tfoulcoon wrote:
they broke shit... my recipe for assault cuiras wouldnt complete itself, and the courier will not retrieve items for me. i have to manually drop them and pick them up... so weird... all other courier commands work aside from transfer items
how many hours have you played? maybe it has something to do with that, dunnoSoulclenz wrote:
I still don't understand why I have no keys to give away, I've been in the beta since it started. Is there any reason for that?
Edit: Also Glass, have you tried installing Dota2 from a different steam client? I read on the forums that doing that solved crashing problems for some people.
It should, but its weird. I have 800 hours and I haven't gotten my 2 extra, but people who have <300 do T_TMikey wrote:

Ah ok, that would explain it then. I didn't think about that.Magicphoenix wrote:
You get 2 beta keys extra if you were chosen in the DotA2-Steam survey, if you were selected by some kind of lottery/invited by a friend you don't !

what? you can cancel animation perfectly fine in DoTA2Magicphoenix wrote:
If you mean his animations, yeah - his razes are a lot slower, his arm takes longer to swing and in DotA 2 you are unable to cancel spells after an animation.
Meaning - With Maiden/Lina you did a spell in DotA 1 which swings forever, that's why you move right after the spell to cancel the animation and do your next attack faster. In DotA 2 it got fixed, that's why DotA 2 Shadow Fiends razes are slower !
yeah I know what you're talking about. You can do it in DoTA2 o.OMagicphoenix wrote:
I think I put it in the wrong way.
If you are familiar with DotA / WC 3 you know that after - for example - Lina casts any spell, the spell comes instantly but the arm still swings in the air after the spell for like 1 more second. In that time you do absolutely nothing but watch her after the spell, unless you make her do an action right after the spell so she would cancel the arm-forward animation.
tl;dr?

His mouth opens and jolts forward before he spits his attack. I wouldn't say DotA animations are more detailed than DotA2 at all.Tshemmp wrote:
I have the feeling animations are very poor in DOTA 2 in general. For example Viper's attack animation: He is just standing around and out of nowhere a attack missile comes out of him. This is the only thing I really don't like about DOTA 2. Animations were so much more detailed in DotA Allstars.
Perhaps. Valve isn't going to get it 100% replicated, I wouldn't expect them to.Tshemmp wrote:
Well, ofcourse there is a little animation, but compared to DotA it is nothing.
Seriously wtf are you talking about, it does exist in DOTA 2, and yes you did put it in a wrong way, it's called (casting) backswing. The reason it's not as noticable as it is on some heroes is because DotA and DOTA 2 do not have the exact same cosmetic animation.Magicphoenix wrote:
It doesn't even exist in DotA 2
Indeed Vipers attack animation is very small, there are several complaints about it --> http://dev.dota2.com/showthread.php?t=14722.Tshemmp wrote:
