Well, I played against an Oracle who went 8-0 after 12 minutes and he had Dagon 3. Guess which team lostSonatora wrote:

How many Oracles do I have to beat solo mid before they realize it's useless putting him mid.
Get him on the offlane or as support, but he should definitely not be a 1-2 position core guys
Also, never focus enemy core when Oracle is alive, it's basically death to your team
He is a counter to those physical junglers such as lone druid etc.Also, once hr got a fucking level five dagon, all hells breaks lose
(this happened twice)
Also, his winrate is 40%
BUT. If the team is good enough then Oracle can be extremly viable. I think if you have at least a 3-man-stack functioning together with all the Oracle buffs, he truly can be really strong. In solo queue though? Nahhhh.
few days old. apparently the arcana drop rate was too high :<
I wanna play again.. Dota 2 
tbfh this is the worst event ever made by volvo
idk about the other servers but SEA is going nuts
PA being reported for not having an arcana

Also I never saw that behavior.
i'm in sea and im still having a proper match against/with PA and her arcana idk why tho...
the only difference i felt about this event is when somebody is going to gank PA/the nemesis they went all out and sometimes it's really irritating to see

i wonder if my enemy are pudge :')
Pudge is an obvious counter to nonmobile heroes so pretty much you're screwed in the early game
BUT if you manage to get a shadow blade/BKB early, then you can essentially block off alot of damage coming from pudge

Try to go for Mjolnir and hope for the "Electric Sniper" :v
attack speed is usually better on sniper anyways, becuase of his chance to proc headshots (by the way, how does a half sec slow still have anything to do with a real headshot, beside the bonus dmg?)

Or say it was just a hit to a critical spot. Although that wouldn't make heroes who float slower, but are we really going that far? : D
Well if we were talking about realism, sniper would be one op madafaka insta-killing everyone that is unlucky enough to get hit by that.
But that would also mean that Invoker's meteor would spell the end of the world. So yeah.

Oh Newbee, how the mighty have fallen once again. Also lol @ BigGod, casual team getting 2nd place in the group stages.
Secret totally fell apart in the playoffs, though in the end they still secured 3rd place they were even lucky to have won against C9, rip 15-0 group stage overhype.
Glad EG doing so well, both them and VG are rightful contenders for the title. Too bad I'll miss the finals tomorrow

EG HYPE!!!
please nerf Sumail
That was incredible drafting and play by EG, also Sumail what a way to start his story.
http://www.dota2.com/newbloom/part3 oh man. my hype is building
I'm afraid of Winter Wyvern
She seems pretty good against Meepo. Don't think she will be played much in pubs though, just like any hero with skills that can fuck up allies (see SD, Pugna, Oracle, Tusk).
It's the same with every new hero that makes it into the game.
It gets so much attention during the first week, people think it's OP, picks it in games to either stomp hard or feed heavily, then proceeds to be fade into the background the week after.
That being said. I love playing Wyvern in the offlane.
Though WC3 Wyvern looked more badass.
Give us Pit Lord already!!

this year's new bloom is disappointing
new event sucks
everyone is stupid

new in this, what should I do after completing the tutorials? and who should I use?
there is no real recommendation, just stay away from chen and meepo if you have not perfect micro skills.
Maybe play Limited Hero mode to get used to the basic game mechanics first. But if you want to learn new heroes fast I recommend playing single draft as it forces you to play a new hero everytime.
Ask someone that you know and play with them. I'm totally recommending this since there's so many HATE in dota 2 right now.Trash Boat wrote:

You can use any hero that you want.
Play with someone who knows what they are doing.Trash Boat wrote:

The game has a pretty difficult learning curve so playing with a friend who knows their shit and be able to teach you will help tremendously.
For now go with heroes that does not need you to manage more than one unit.
Its so hard to play Dota and Osu hoping to get better at both. They both require so much time.
Help me.
Help me.
i wish i improved at osu! as fast as i improve at dota...

Alchemist
- Unstable Concoction countdown can now be seen by enemies
Unstable Concoction now has an area targeting cursor
Greevil's Greed now grants 4x gold bounty from Runes
Alchemist can now cast Aghanim's Scepter to directly grant any allied hero all Aghanim's Scepter bonuses as a buff (the hero upgrade and the stat upgrade). The scepter is consumed in the process. Multiple instances of this buff do not stack. Alchemist can target himself as well
What if you get the bounty rune on the 00:00 mark? Will it give you 8x gold? :O Lol 400 gold at the start would be kinda OPphaZ wrote:

I also think that Alch's aghs upgrade doesn't look too useful unless he's too farmed and 6-slotted already. It wouldn't really work if you play as a support too since you won't be able to farm for aghs fast enough without stealing farm from the cores.
"how can we destroy the game"
"add unnecessary Aghanim's"
"okay"

What's bad about it? Imo every hero should have an Aghs upgrade, especially now with the new Alch.

I have been playing this game for 6 years and I have only been hyped this much when they announced Dota 2. Great stuff coming up!
Maybe with the power of the new tutorials, I'll finally be able to play this game properly.
Anyone else here attending ESL One Frankfurt this weekend?

God fuck techies. He turns the game into a completely different beast where you have to buy 99999999999 sentries or a gem while your whole team plays ultra safe because you're so fucking paranoid about mines. Aghs upgrade is retarded and make it so fucking hard to push highground. This hero is cancer I don't know why icefrog keeps trying to force him into the meta, he needs to be deleted from the game.

In terms of mechanical complexity, how does DOTA2 compare with LoL? I know both are incredibly more complex than Smite (Plat 2 jungler there). Just wondering what everyone thinks.
@Repr1se
Also are there any VP fangays here? Go go Illidan (yeah that's the real one)!I have around 1k hours in LoL (peaked at plat 2 playing all roles) and around 4k hours in Dota, don't know if that makes me qualified enough to answer.
Anyway in my opinion LoL takes more raw mechanical skill in general, there is just way more focus on it. Since every champ has 4 active abilities (and some more) as oppsoed to Dota where you can have up to 3 passive skills instead and also the lower cooldowns and manacosts you can and have to use more stuff more often which I find really demanding at times, especially considering everything is a skillshot nowadays and you have to consistently dodge.
That said there are some heroes in Dota which go way beyond any LoL champ, for example Meepo, Chen, Lone Druid, Tinker etc. So if you want to have a REAL challenge try to get good at these.
Also there are way more game mechanics in Dota in general like pulling, stacking, creep aggroing (no you can't compare LoL's creepwave management to this xD) and so on, but tbh they are not really hard to pull off. Also even now I learn new tricks every other day whereas in LoL I've got the feeling I have already seen everything.
tl;dr if you care purely about mechanical complexity LoL > Dota
but in terms of overall complexity (because there is just way more stuff) Dota > LoL

ah yes the tie-breaker TI between europe and china. should be interesting. Actually it's guaranteed to be interesting from what we saw in groups, this comeback meta makes a great viewing experience overall.
I'm like 99% sure it's going to end with secret vs lgd, i dont see any other turn-out. from there it's a toss-up. Teams are a lot more even and it's due in part to the very comeback mechanics that define this patch. It's not like TI3 where all the money was on Alliance to win since groups because they were visibly better than everyone else, and it's not like TI4 where.. okay to be honest i missed TI4 completely and just watched the finals via VOD and had no regrets about missing it at all..
It's gonna be hard to top ti3 finals though, regardless of who is matched up.

Tbh you missed pretty much if you didn't watch TI4. Yeah, everyone ist circle jerking about how bad the finals were (and rightfully so), but apart from that other games were really good.xxjesus1412fanx wrote:

Also I am still betting on Secret vs EG finals, I don't trust LGD to keep performing at this high level considering TI2.
secret vs eg would be great, no matter who wins, 1488 prevails. but i think it's highly unlikely to have a no-asians final.

worst game of dota 2 ive ever played in my life despite winning. nonstop hyper aggression and offensive wards and smokes and zoning and augh, noone could farm safely the whole game.
