Dhsu Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 If it's not obvious yet, I would too. I will even send you a free copy of the Bad Dudes Metroid CD when it comes out! Offer still stands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BardicKnowledge Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 I need to play more often -- I've had projects due the past week preventing me from getting any time online. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tensei Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 (edited) We pretty much just lost a game against a three-carry team because the Sniper on our team would do things like trying to solo-backdoor the rax with the enemy team all in their base or randomly run back to pick up items despite having a flying courier all game. Playing a hardcore support/wardbitch Lion can be a really ungrateful job sometimes. Bottom line is that we need more people to play with! They also sent out additional invites to existing beta-testers but this excludes people that got in through the survey, so yeah...

eternal Zero Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 Bardic knows how to get in touch with me for when keys drop. Time to get the band back together! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tensei Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 - Added system that temporarily removes chat functionality from hostile players. <3 Valve. Oh, and Warlock (Hellbringer) is in now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Derrit Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 i can't decide if i think warlock is good or not the one i played with was good but i think he's just good in general i recognized his name also gonna keep playing puck seeing as that usually goes pretty well 7/1/9 is a good score for someone who's not supposed to be doing the killing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tensei Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 (edited) According to Reddit/other forums, the third wave of invites is going out right now. Not as an e-mail but as a steam popup. AFAIK Warlock is a decent support but he's extremely teamfight focused, since 3 of his skills are supposed to be used on multiple opponents. It's pretty funny that he can summon up to 4 golems with his ult if you get both Aghanims and Refresher Orb on him.

Dhsu Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 Wow, and I thought 2 was pretty hardcore. By the way I FREAKING LOVE THE RADIANCE EFFECT HOLY CRAP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tensei Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 Invite wave 4 went out, keep checking dem e-mails. I gotta say, the global mute mechanic really seems to work, or maybe it's just coincidence. Lost all three of my games today but overall I still had a good amount of fun, and there was next to no whining from pub teammates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eternal Zero Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 Warlock is a pretty exceptional laner both as a baby sitter and as a 1v2 or even 1v3. Good animation on his auto attack as well as a solid regen spell makes him hard to argue against. He does peter out more than Hellbringer does late game but midgame with an ult read he just wreaks havoc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rambo Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 herp derp. Then still not be sendin me an email. I thought if I put all support heroes as my favorites, I'd get an invite faster. :3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bahamut Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 What would Rambo do to get a dota 2 invite? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rambo Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 What would Rambo do to get a dota 2 invite? I still have 2 kidneys. naaah, I'm not DYING to play, I've never played more than a couple hours of DotA. But I'm really excited to see what valve does with the game and how it plays. Until I get an invite I'm fine with playing HoN. I just... hate S2... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Derrit Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 i played my first true 'carry' game as tinker today. got my teleport boots, pushed lanes, got more gold, got to 25, it was the best Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tensei Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 If you have a really good start with Tinker (like, you get your boots of travel about 15-20 minutes in) you should consider building a Manta Style instead of going straight for Sheepstick. Manta adds a decent amount of DPS and makes your pushing even better because of the illusions, and you can spam it almost constantly with rearm. When you get your sheepstick after that, you're basically unkillable by anything less than a 3v1, and the enemy team can never really commit to a push as long as you're alive because you can instantly teleport to an empty lane and counterpush. He's a really cool hero overall, definitely one of my favorites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tensei Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 (edited) Well, level 16 rearm takes 1 second, and the disable you get from sheepstick lasts for 3.5 seconds. Even lategame there aren't many heroes that can survive getting disabled for 10~ seconds and eating your nuke combo three times, that's where his main 1v1 strength comes from. He doesn't really carry in the conventional sense. I think you can kinda compare it to Master Yi in LoL: he just sidepushes way too fast for the enemy team to ignore, and is too strong to take down in a 1v1, so you force the enemy team to play very defensively. E: also, fifth wave of invites went out. If nobody else has gotten in so far I must have had some god tier luck to get in with the first wave.

If nobody else has gotten in so far I must have had some god tier luck to get in with the first wave. I think it more has to do with your "europe" status.
