This game is hard to learn, especially since there isn't a tutorial in yet. Best thing to do is read up on some basics and play a few bot games with people who can explain more about the game. Also, WC 3 DotA patch 6.73 just got released with 4 new heroes and a shitton of balance changes (nerfs to antimage!) so you can expect to see these come up in Dota 2 as well. http://www.playdota.com/changelogs/6.73 This skill cracks me up btw:

Nice! Could you post your steam ID? I'm always looking for more people to play with.

If you have 40 minutes to burn, this game is SO worth watching: Part 1 Part 2 Due to group-stage shenanigans there's a tiebreaker mechanic in effect which means that mTw has to win within 36:08 to qualify, which makes for an incredibly tense game. E: Oh shit, Bounty Hunter is coming!

Gaming journalism already is pretty much like that though. "They gave our game a 5 out of 10" "Okay don't send them any review copies of our future games anymore."

This. Videogames are still a relatively young medium and we have yet to see a Citizen Kane equivalent. Games like Mass Effect get lauded for their universe building and characters, but you have to realize that in movie form it would only qualify as a mediocre B-movie at best. Hell, even Planescape Torment (which I consider the pinnacle in videogame storytelling) would only make for a decent, not groundbreaking movie/mini series.

Politics typically aren't about whom you 'like' the most, but about which party's election policies are the most beneficial for yourself. Then again, this does explain a lot about US politics...

Uh, if your family gets anywhere near a computer with internet(i.e. Youtube or Facebook), SOPA would adversely affect them as well.

He can solo Roshan around level 7 if he has Vlads, which is usually the first item people build on him. After that Vanguard + Treads/Phase + Blink is usually the core, after that you can go Heart or something. He can pretty much afford to go for pure tank because of his ult. Patch is live now btw. E: Gondar Invoker Skills

Ah, awesome. They're adding Volibear. Also, customizable item builds.

Flamebreak is like his worst spell though. He's all about the napalm spam; get 5+ stacks on someone, turn on firefly and make a beeline for them and towerdive like a baller.

Yeah, Invoker is very strong in the right hands and one of the few competitive picks that aren't in the game yet. Then again Batrider is super banworthy in WC3 DotA, yet he's not popular in Dota 2 at all!

He also can't level his stats, but each of the instances can be leveled up seven times and the passive effects are really strong, so you can have 21 HP regen per second or 63 bonus damage at all times. He really plays unlike anything else in the game.

Rigwarl is the biggest troll hero (aside from maybe Techies). I really want Invoker though.

Yeah I guess they processed the voice a lot to make her sound more like a ghost, I didn't notice it ingame but it's pretty obvious in the sound files. Still worth it just to hear her say "Eenveezeebeeleetee".

Wow, Krobelus looks amazing. The quality of the models in this game keeps surprising me. She even has a French accent.

Videogame journalism is a huge joke.

Meanwhile I have like an 0-5 win ratio with Weaver, but I'm determined to keep playing him until I get the hang of it and start winning. E: There's indication that todays patch MIGHT hold Invoker, which would be amazing. Then again, it could just as well be Mortred, Spirit Breaker, Bane or Krobelus.

Lifestealer is basically Predator with his skills changed up and a different (cooler) ultimate.

Lifestealer either just needs to get outcarried (Antimage/Faceless Void would probably do the trick) or shut down early, whether that be through ganks or pushing. He destroys high HP heroes though.

Yeah I know, 4chan meme and all, but this is pretty clever. The bottom 3 panels are the actual skill icons for Shadow Raze.

Basher is kind a noobtrap item, similarly to SnY or Shadow Blade. Blink+Infest lets you pull off some bullshit escapes and fixes Naix' main issue, which is getting kited. He also mainly scales with attack speed so the stats on Basher don't do a lot for him because he already has a lot of innate damage per attack. A combination of attack speed and a good orb like desolator is probably the best on him.

Blink+ Orchid Naix best Naix. Also known as the "Screw Antimage" build. They fixed headless Kunkka unfortunately. .I hope they turn it into an alt skin for him.

This isn't a chiptune and it uses only 2 instrument tracks. You would have to put in effort to find a song sparser than that.

Lion and Lina are by far not the most imbalanced heroes in wtf mode, that honor probably goes to Clockwerk/Zeus.
