Please, excuse my n00bness.

Sorry about that last game, the lag and they focusing on me really frustrated me and I fed them a couple kills that I could've easily avoided...
I was doing ok in lane and thought I could get a fast radiance but when the lag began and died a couple times I felt the need to be aggressive to make up for the lost gold/time... The thing that frustrated me the most was the lag not allowing me to time lapse.
Regardless, it was a fun game where I get to play one of my favorite heroes with favorite item build for him Thanks for carrying me

In both of those games we had a pretty good Treant supporting pisakrapp's and then my Gyro. Y'all did good bot too, so it was pretty easy to farm. I love taking ancient 4 stacks!

Abaddon's coming out! He's one of the coolest old heroes in DotA.

Too bad he'll be weaker in certain lame combos now
No triggered healing FTL.

I think I've never actually laughed watching or playing until just now.
Watching Rattle Snake vs XPY and the most hilarious juke just happened, hopefully there will be some clips soon so you can all laugh too.

It's kind of odd seeing Abaddon's artwork compared to the older heroes. So much detailed and in depth. Well I suppose that's the case for most games anyways where the newer characters are much more detailed than the older ones with the older ones usually getting a rework on visual. It's going to be weird to see Terrorblade and Anti-Mage and see the difference between their artwork.

Abaddon voice is awesome.
Also dat sound effect when his ult triggers.

It really makes me want to meet the voice actors and see how they do the voices for these. I guess they're voice actors for a reason.
I found it interesting how Abaddon was released instead of Legion Commander when in Elder Titan's background there was a silhouette of Tresdin. But then recently Valve posted on their blog "The coils of life and death now bind us all" which was for the release of the tutorial however I immediately though of Abaddon from the Mist/Death Coil.


Also @Dusk, I really wanted to go play a game with you guys since there were enough for a 5-man party during that time at night.

They gave a finalized set of icons for Dark Seer. 1st and 2nd set are for comparison. Loving the newest icon set so much. Especially the ult and Surge.

Found out that Co-op Bot match is actually a decent play to train with heroes I never played before.
Still so much to learn...

Chen is so much fun to play though, but a hell to play in solo Q in my opinion, even if i have a good winrate with him in solo Q. Its just too much hassle without voice-chat.

And his rival lines with omniknight are hilarious.
Omni to chen:

Your congregation of squirrels and chipmunks cannot save you, Chen.

Omni to chen:

I don't have any issues playing him solo queue, but I guess I use voice chat in solo queue too. 67% win rate, he's really effective at shutting down ganks throughout the game and pushing, and that tends to give your team a big level and gold advantage that is easy to snowball with.

guys
guys
I'm back



what the hell happened

Na'vi wrecked china, beta is over and abaddon is out.

I'll be Streaming live.

First time played Shadow Demon via Compendium match. I had no idea what I was doing other than spamming Disruptor/Shadow Poison when appropriate, but he was really fun to play.

Today a friend was sending me messages ALL DAY LONG beggin me to stop playing Dota 2 and switch to LoL.
I only played like 3 matches of LoL and didn't like it, but even so I made some research and holy molly
LoL is really more newbie friendly than DoTA 2.
And you know what? I didn't like that.
It's utterly bs that you can buy and item whenever you are and magically appear on your items.
The fact that your gold pool isn't divided isn't that bad but stil is something really useful in some matches.
The fact that there's no bonus gold for killing a Hero with a Killing streak gives no incentive whatsoever for the team to work around and kill that guy.
No denies?
Also read that:
Dota 2 : Tower Defense
LoL: Tower Defend
?

Oh well, glad I stick up with Dota 2.

Disclaimer: I like to point out that this info may be outdated

The thing that I can't stand about LoL are the graphics. I wouldn't mind playing LoL with friends every now and then but that's something that I just can't stand.
To me, Dota2 mechanics are just an extra that makes the game interesting and all that, but the way a game looks is the most important thing for me o.O
