nah I think I'll get travel, vlads, orchid, linkens, diffusal, manta next game
or maybe sheepstick instead of linkens
yeah

Basher is actually a viable choice, especially when you upgrade it to Abyssal Blade. He's easily kiteable and you want to get as much dmg as possible out of the little time he got ulti and you can't depend on team support if you go chase off a hero on your ownGabi wrote:

Vlads, Medallion, BKB, PT/BoT, Necro/Basher->Abyssal, HoT/AC is what I usually build in that exact order
I never said it wasn't viable, i said it was typical pub trash.
If you farm basher into abyssal it usually means you're going to be useless for quite a while, it also means you won't be able to push as hard as you need an insane amount of farm for abyssal. BoT in a pro game won't get you far either.
Lycan isn't "easily" kiteable, what the fuck? he runs at a 522 move speed and can't be slowed, if that's "easily" kiteable then i don't know what the fuck is hard. You want a Force/Dagger/blink skill to manage to get away from him(stun if he doesn't have bkb), and not every hero has that.
If the situation calls for it, get a BKB up asap after vlads/med/PT, if they don't have too many stuns, you get a necro book up which will improve your pushing potential by a lot. After that you buy AC/Deso OR IF YOUR TEAM LACKS STUNS YOU CAN GET A BASHER.
But in pubs people don't play him like that, and people don't know how to properly play against him, so he just farms jungle for 30 minutes and come out with mega items that will melt anyone he hits.

Love it how they immediately added her to Captain's Mode
I need psychiatrist help right now. I just lost a pub with lycan.
Lanayaaaaaaaaaaaaa
he's probably the best hero in DotA 2
Oh man, I just can't wait to go and be a useless piece of shit with Lanaya.
No idea why have I always sucked so many dick when played her.

Lanaya's ultimate is like the most op shit in the game, worse than Ice Wall
And Meld as well, 200 bonus dmg and -8 Armor OK
Seriously, Refraction is a joke as well, she kills you in 3 secs and you can't do a fuck about it and Psi Blades is like the ultimate lane-winner-harassassassination passive...
Whoever loses a lane or doesn't get any kills with her seriously got a problem with his playability

I like how you can one-shot the enemy supports with her as soon as you get your Desolator and Blink.
Oh Lanaya, I used to play it frequently whenever a Techies was picked. Blademail plus Refract -----> walk to Land Mines ---> proceed to lol.
^That's also OP, the fact that she doesn't simply block the damage, she drains it and readds it again to do exactly what you just said
You can always blink while having Refraction activated now.
I hope that is a bug
It was just not possible in DotA 1 because Refraction was based on a heal there. Now it really blocks the damage and so Blink is not disabled.
Anyway one can see this as a buff, since Refraction got somehow nerfed with it's big visual effect.
But if this was unintentional...lol. Why did Valve already added her to -cm?

First DOTA 2 game in the pro-scene Orange vs iG with TA
Orange picked TA, ky.xy played it and gg for iG - TA 1 hit every support

Man CK has to be nerfed. That hero is not balanced in anyway.
i literally just played with that Super Shit Boy guy, he played Riki though.
Agree.yeahyeahyeahhh wrote:

I think it's funny how a CM with boots is barely faster than a CK with absolutely nothing, running away from CK is futile until you have some kind of escape spell, get drums & phase boots up on him and even Clinkz with Skeleton Walk has a tough time running. It's alright he's the fastest hero in the game but the fact that he's also got one of the highest dmg outputs with 200-dmg stun on Lv1 & base damage 'n stuff...
(Also, his ultimate is too OP with armlet -_-"")
Chaos Bolt deals 1-200 damage atlLevel 1. Not really that OP, since Shadow Strike deals exactly 200 damage at level 1(not counting magic resistance)Magicphoenix wrote:

GUANTES DE PLUMA DE HLOTL Y ESPADA DE LOS MONO MILITIS !!
that game started so well for us, but we were outpicked for sure. and then i just went tower diving for shits.
Happens at times unfortunately, the incidents every MOBA player has at least once in his career ... I remember losing games with 27-3-20 or 21-7-14 stats with Invoker, teamfights went well until the time dragged the game so far that everyone from the enemy team had BKB and just trampled down my 4 teamm8s who were not much than very bad.
But I SERIOUSLY agree on that Refraction thing with TA. Especially the way it influences the pro-scene, she's like a reliable surviver unless you waste a ton of chain stun on her to kill all the refraction charges and then try to prevent the dagger out. Though on the other aspects she's slighty weaker, her projectile is slower and the refraction shows up every time she takes damage, even when in invis mode. If she's in meld or invisibility with Refraction, hit a AoE spell on her and you will see her shield and then see her position.
Looking forward to Nyx Assassin/Naga Siren/both

But basically, Exort is the best build.
Exort gives more balance & variation... it's called Exort build but in the end that only counts for the early-(mid?)game though and ends up in an overall build.
I go 1-1-4 => 4-1-4 => 4-4-4/4-1-7 => 4-4-7/4-7-4/4-4-7 This means a lot more skills you can use and with an early Aghanims you will have a lot more nuke power(even without it).
If you go Wex/Quas build you will definitely have 2-7-1 by lv13 and all you'll have is Cold Snap-Tornado-EMP + Invis. It's just too ineffective even if you have high mobility instead of just dominating the lane much more with higher base dmg & casually helping out with Sun Strike.
The only phase for W/Q build should be when the others are very disarmable by EMP (no mana) or you have the need to be running away from their heroes 24/7.
Though this is all based on my personal opinion, Exort(->overall) for me is stronger than Wex-Quas in all phases of the game

Exort build is best paired with an early euls. You can kill any hero in a solo gank once you get your euls (given you have the ability too).
And aghas is not the best item for invoker, since it lowers your ulti CD by around 3 seconds, and you can get a hex for same price, but better effect.

"better effect"
You realise in DOTA, even half a second can decide the tide of a fight?
