Anyone has spare invite? My friend wants to convert from LoL finally.
^That's the most basic way to try and get a beta key at all. Of course he already did it but when there's 5 months without reply he might as well look for something else

What kind of pings do you guys get?
I remember last year november, pings to US west were the best at 230ms.
However, nowadays, the average ping to US west is 310ms.
Hope Australian servers come soon

it generally is, going exort can pay off but is not as consistent. takes more skill too

it's really situational on pubs. as for the competitive scenes, it depends on what lineup you're against.Lybydose wrote:

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.

welcome to osu!dota2
"better effect"
You realise in DOTA, even half a second can decide the tide of a fight?

Did you really have to quote me to say that lol.
Some items got new look. Good stuff. Not as drastic as the previous.
And our 3 heroes
I really dislike the new courier icons.
You'll get used to it.
Ladies and gentlemen, Ferrari 4 fucking 30.

How luck? U can see when ur psi blade bounce. And its Ferrari 430, one of the best players in the world.
Great new update! Does the Dire have a blue/grey donkey? Both sides have their own courier icons now.
Keeper of the Light looks too much like Zeus. And Nyx Assassin like Lurker from Starcraft.
Shit game, wouldn't play.
