  1. Dota 2

    Late game you will virtually never kite with drow. You will cast your silence and then autoattack. The kiting is more for earlier in the game, when a melee hero is trying you kill you and you are trying to deal damage without taking any. It is situational and doesn't work well without several...
  2. Dota 2

    Phase boots are not particularly good on clock. Moving through units in your cogs to escape is the only real application; the bonus damage is good during a manfight in your cogs, but you'll probably win that with your Q anyway. I usually get tranquils and disassemble them to make mekansm, or...
  3. Dota 2

    My items are F1 F2 Z X C Space I came to dota from SC2, so I was already set on having control groups as 1 2 3 4 etc. In SC2 it was also common to have control groups for areas of the map set to F1 F2 F3 etc. so that wasn't difficult for me, though I never use items that have a target on F1...
  4. Dota 2

    I am almost positive that the ctrl clicking does not work with anything besides basic commands (move, attack target, etc), since if you have multiple units selected and press ctrl+Q it will cause them to do different things (and maybe one needs a target and one doesn't, or a different type of...
  5. Dota 2

    I play meepo, and Poppy says he played it well in dota 1. The problem with meepo is that his power is very dependent on the opponent's lineup, and there are certain heroes he is completely terrible against (e.g. nyx assassin, bounty hunter, sven). He also needs experience very badly, and in pub...
  6. Auto weather poll

    It is my opinion that permanent weather has been a major contributor to the downfall of OU as a fun metagame, in BW especially but also in DPP. Weather is just too powerful for how easy it is to set up and - more importantly - how difficult it is to stop without using one of only a small few...
  7. Dota 2

    being totally serious here: queue captains mode. I queue it quite often even by myself, and in general the experience is much better than all pick because people actually play for the team rather than themselves and the teamcomps are fairly even, barring a stupid captain. The downside is that...
  8. Dota 2

    Even if it isn't exclusively for centaur, at least make it so heroes need to be near him to get the buff. Then at least there is some vulnerability when setting it up. Even with the 6.76c nerfs he's going to be a top tier hero due mostly to his ult's initiation power. And speaking of globals...
  9. Evolution and Science Acceptance

    Now I can't cite any study on this, but I am almost positive that the large majority of people who are anti-abortion hold that position on religious grounds. I have never in my life heard of a non-religious person making the claim that life begins at conception. I couldn't for the life of me...
  10. Evolution and Science Acceptance

    Not only that, but we share less genetic code with life forms which are obviously further removed, but still some. Something to keep in mind is that a scientific theory is, in the words of wikipedia: The theory of evolution - much like the Einstein's theory of relativity and Newton's theory...
  11. Evolution and Science Acceptance

    Mostly I agree with you here, though I would like to address a couple things: This isn't a bad summation but it is a bit more complex I think. If the embryo has rights that outweigh those of the mother then it must be considered a person. There are various definitions of the word person, though...
  12. Dota 2

    The shop is really all about memorizing where items are. If you didn't already, you should switch the shop into paneled mode (there is an icon at the top right of the shop window). Also, you should set a hotkey to open the shop for quick purchases. An useful feature of the dota 2 shop that I...
  13. Official MLB 2012 Season Thread

    I really want oakland to win but it's not looking too good here in the top of the seventh but hey they pulled it out in the ninth last night so I'm sure as hell not counting them out!

    How does this entire thread ignore A's walk off win with with 3 runs in the 9th Those motherfuckers always make it exciting Go A's!
  15. Dota 2

    Well if your team gets you good farm (and they should) then radiance is a solid first item to get. In that case you should be sending illusions individually to jungle camps or to push lanes, which does take a little bit of micro. But the penalty for screwing it up isn't huge, you just don't farm...
  16. Dota 2

    Wait people who just started dota 2 can stomp with TA? I have like 800 wins and I am shit with TA =( Also as someone that plays both invoker and many "micro" heroes, invoker is hands down easier. It isn't even close. Not only is the micro required to play him not particularly intensive once you...

    Hey do you go on irc at all anymore?
  18. Dota 2

    I agree in general, though I think that the nerf to lycan specifically will probably allow him to not be banned every game. His jungle game is severely weakened, which requires a lot less investment from the opposing team to stop. Additionally, although I think the nerfs to naga aren't super...
  19. Books

    As someone who rarely reads new books, $14 seems ridiculously expensive (e.g. I recently bought the lotr trilogy for under $10) Though I also bought the latest game of thrones book right when it came out for like $25 so I guess I'm a sucker too
  20. Dota 2

    I don't think drow and sf are really outclassed, just that their skillsets aren't in high demand. Though I do agree with you in that I doubt drow and sf will become even remotely commonly used carries. Drow was already able to outcarry morphling; her dps wasn't the issue. The simple truth is...
