    Just tried out Riki cause I've gotten owned by him before.

    Fuck he's weak as hell early game.

    Late game? Amazing just to roam and gank anyone who doesn't travel in groups.

    Anyone try the new class yet? Some guy had him and just dominated a diff game, was standing toe to toe with multiple enemies.

    If you play a tank right then you should be able to zone them all out and get thier adc out of position... i mean, thats the point in initiating and zoning right? take Darius in LoL for example, if you can charge in and pull thier adc into the fight or take Vi for instance, if her ult initiates the ADC and then her q zones them out then why would you adc not focus them... that is my theory anyway... may be why i suck at these games for the most part tho... :feelsbadman:

    Riki is excellent if the other team does not get invis detection. However he is pretty susceptible to getting focused down if caught.

    Is this game worth playing? I need an invite. And a steam account, which I'll make if someone can give a brother an invite.

    Because the enemy team also has tanks and cc. If you run past them to hit the adc , chances are you'll die and die fast.

    I'm pretty sure he is currently overpowered. I don't think any hero can stand up to him in mid right now, given equal player skill.

    Just had a not-terrible wisp game. I was doing pretty well and tried to rush a heart but then it took me probably 10 minutes to farm the god damn recipe.

    i played with wisp and enjoyed it. his w (the orbs that circle him) does some serious damage and has incredible range if you position yourself right

    If you're playing ADC you prioritize staying alive. The golden rule is hit the highest priority target you can without getting yourself killed. Normally priority is ADC>Mid>Top>Jungle>Support. There should never be anyone on the enemy team between you and safety.

    nah he's fine.

    i wish they hadn't taken away the ability to attack while lassoing someone though.

    blood seeker is kind of nasty towards end game, was able to just face tank bots in groups due to life steal thing,

    didn't totally get the best way to use blood rage, just trying different guys so didn't have time to read up on him

    wtf is an ADC? LoL term? In Dota you normally have a number value 1 gets most farm, 5 gets no farm.

    Right? If I saw this dog in public, I'd steal it and give it to a girl... Who would then become my girlfriend so I could play with it

    May need to reset Steam by going into your Steam folder, delete everything EXCEPT the Steam folder, the Steamapps folder, and Steam.exe. After you've deleted everything EXCEPT the files listed, click on Steam.exe and it will rebuild the Steam installation on your computer. Since you preserved the Steam and Steamapps folder you won't have to re-download every game.

    Hope this helps OTM

    Seems excessive. Just right click on dota2 and go to properties and find the delete local content button then re-download the game.

    Before you re-install, try the "Verify Integrity of Game Cache"

    To do that right click Dota 2 in your Library, click Properties, then select the Local Files tab. It's the last option.
