So I just started playing Dota 2, I've really enjoyed it so far. I originally played a bit of LoL but never got into it, there was something about it that I didn't like.

My favourite characters so far are Viper and Luna.

So after playing 30 hours against bots I played my first multiplayer game and won! There was a really nice Lion who helped me without getting mad when I made mistakes, but I did fairly well with viper. I have a long way to go, watching some live games and the internationals really showed me how newbie I still am.

I don't really think i'm at the stage where I want to give out my ingame name BB, I only get a limited amount of time anyway to play.

Some hero's I want to try are Gyrocopter, Wisp and Nature's Prophet. So far I haven't found too many character's that I'm really good with.

It's so hard learning to play Support with bots... Wards are pretty useless with the set patterns they usually follow and the bot iq can be so frustrating. I saved Luna's life as CM with a freeze so she could get away, and after I die in the process she turns around and starts harassing with no hp instead of going back to base. She then get's killed >.>

I was happy that I got my 2nd pub win with viper today though. :D

Does MafiaScum have a dota guild? Or you all just meet up on steam?

Also I was wondering, how do I join a 5v5 game that isn't ranked? I have been playing co-op bot matches but that is getting annoying.

Well coop bot matches have let me improve my hero pool without getting raged at.

What I mean is stat's like win/loss, don't these affect your queue spot?

I recently tried out Nyx Assassin and Vengeful Spirit, the latter being a nice fit and probably one of my go-to supports from now on.

It said I needed your steam ID numbers for some reason >.< We should make a Mafiascum chat in the game client so it's easier to find people.

I played a game while I waited and lost as Vengeful Spirit. You know your team is pretty bad when you have the second highest kills out of a Night Stalker/PA/Sniper/Silencer

Reactions? Like reaction time or is that something I am not familiar with?

By the way, I got a weird invite to what appears to be a guild, but it didn't look dota oriented and the page was in Russian.... guessing that isn't the invite? :lol:

I speak a bit of russian, just enough to swear at the ones joining my games. >.>

If you're trying to silence people as a Bloodseeker it seems like you aren't going to be focused on the fight as well as you could be. The best defence is a strong offence, at least when your playing a carry who excels at fighting. And since he is is melee you need to get in close, so your basically giving them the means to kill you with an attack boost.

But i'm an ultra noobie still so you can just ignore me. :P

Oh I see, I didn't know you could play without all 5 spots filled.

I'd be interested, depending on the time and whether you want someone so inexperienced.

EDIT: 6 oclock rolls around and I have to leave lol.

I played 1 game that was over an hour long, which sadly we lossed but it was close. I tried out Sand King for the first time which was probably stupid without trying him out, but we needed stuns and aoe.

Went 17/16/17 in the end.

So with SK's Sandstorm, can heroes hit you if they don't have a GoTS?

Also, are you suppose to channel the ult then blink in, or stun and channel?

Everyone was on steam but nobody was playing :(

Only got one game in today, but it was a 3v5 which we won convincingly even though the odds were against us. Ended up getting so fed at the end they just all disconnected except for an Axe.

I was a Viper with a Divine Rapier on top of my SB/Manta, go figure lol.

I've never really played against a huskar before, really caught me off guard. I was being a bit too aggressive in lane though against that lineup which is probably why I fed for a bit. That was a fun game though.

I'm going to have full access to a gaming computer tomorrow through to thursday so if anyone wants to play anytime just shoot me a message.

Can someone explain to me why people are saying "Trilanes are dead"?

I am still in the pub phase where every teammate you have is simple-minded and gets mad at you unless you do a 2-1-2 so if someone could explain this trilane/4p1 talk I'd appreciate it. :)

Unrelated: I am getting sick of these silly people who go into queue obviously with someone they know, pick carries and farm together and leave 2 supports in a lane. It makes me mad because they totally ignore the setup just to be with their friend, and lately they have been dying because of it.

Playing single draft has remarkably improved my gameplay, it's all I've been playing lately. It's helped me get so many new heroes I can play, forces me to learn in all situations instead of being an Admiral Bulldog lol. It is so much better than All Random which I hate because you don't have a bit of choice if you need supports/carries/counters. I always get screwed in all random >.<

I played a single draft and it was my first game with Bounty Hunter, other choices were terrible. Our Lycanthrope ended up Dc'ing at lvl 3 so it was a 4v5. Ended up going 23/2!

Track really shut down their Night Stalker and helped us farm.

Well AR could be 1 hero you can't play and a team that sucks together because you had no control. I have more fun and just think of it as a challenge, so I don't care about the extra gold. :P

AP is probably the best choice you're right, but only if you know what you are doing. I found myself continually picking Skywrath/Viper because I was too scared to branch out and I was playing them well. Since I'm new I don't really know everyone I can "play well" so I might change my view in the future but right now there is something about it I love. I have yet to get a bad hero or one that I couldn't figure out.

Actually, that's not true. I stupidly picked Morphling after seeing him played in pro and thinking he looked easy. Our team was terrible anyway, but that is one hero for the life of me I could not figure out. But, I chose him so it's my fault. ^^

Heres an interesting question, what are the 3 worst heroes that you absolutely suck as? :lol: Or even if you just really dislike them or had a terrible game.

Mine would be:
Storm Spirit / Morphling / Timbersaw

By level 11 you're looking at 15 less agility which costs you two armor and 15 base attack speed both of which are actually a severe hit to Huskar as suddenly he's that much easier to kill with physical damage and the 200+% AS steroid on Bezerkers blood means the 15 base attack speed lost is suddenly costing you aronnd 1500 gold worth of attack speed items.
Huskar one of your main heroes and you are sad you aren't an ultimate tank anymore? :P

I've been in a bit of a slump lately, not winning many games.

I'm finding there is just no coordination between the team members. They never want to five man, they are always halfway across the map when we are trying to push mid or defend. Not to mention they always get caught out, or my personnel favourite; when you initiate and they continue to run back and leave you to die. >.<

Oh dota... it's a love hate relationship. It's not always like this and you do get good teams sometimes, but when you get those 55 minute games with people like this you just want to hit something afterward. :lol:

In post 1051, BBmolla wrote:The unfortunate thing is at the level of play you guys are at, you HAVE to play a carry because your team is unreliable. Not trying to be like "Oh I'm in Very High so I'm awesome," whenever I play with people in lower ranks(AKA, a lot), I can't count on my team mates to carry.

Back in the days of Heroes of Newerth, which was basically Dota 1.5 at the time, I had a >50% win rate. The only way I got it up was by finding a group of players who consistently played at the same time as me that I could play with. I played support for my whole HoN career, and only started playing carries due to lack of others being able to in games I've been playing.

Joining a team for matches or just pub play is really important. You can't go at this game alone, you'll have a bad time. I know we've got our little MS community here, but I don't think we're all always on at the same time.

If we really wanted to try to congregate the MS community a bit more, we could all start trying to frequent the mumble. As silly as it sounds, not talking to players disconnects you from them. Once I talk to someone on mumble, I want to play with them more simply because I have a better sense of who they are.

tldr; find a team/group of players to frequently play with.
I have actually been playing support in most of my games, I don't mind it by any means but I haven't had a lot of chances to carry. The problem (or I should say, 'another' problem) is either your teammates usually spam rush carries as soon as the game starts, or ignore the fact that they might need to play support. I do have some experience with carries, Viper of course was my only hero when I first started that I could play. Last bit I've been branching out a bit more, playing more heroes like Luna, Bounty Hunter, Riki, Queen of Pain, but my selection pool just doesn't cover all the situations yet.

The reason I got into Dota was because my friend nagged me continually to download the game on steam, and %90 of the time I will be playing with him in pub games. It is nice to have a friend to play with and I enjoy the games a lot more. The communication is still a problem with your teammates though since it's always so uncoordinated. I totally agree with what everyone is saying though, it's usually the carries that are the trouble makers on the team. Sad thing is the bad ones are usually the ones who can't even take the slightest bit of advice.

Sure is fun when you get a good carry on your team though, it's that fact that makes the other games so frustrating.

Just played a 60 minute game (loss) that was really close. I think 56-54 for them in the end. I tried out Abaddon for the first time, really enjoyed playing him.

My case and point about earlier; We had a mid Spirit Breaker who died 20 times. If he hadn't of been a feeder for no reason we would have easily won. Those angry facepalm moment when he charges t3 towers for a kill and dies first. Or when he charges a full hp pudge whenn having about 100 hp himself... I had fun anyway, found a new hero I can play. :)

I'm gonna be on pretty much all afternoon today, and I will be on tomorrow as well.

Any chance we could put together a 5 person team? :)

Well it's not on purpose xD

Certain situations i'm just not good in and I make poor decisions. Although if our team sucks and we are losing I tend to play more aggressive and die more which affects my k/d at the end. I get frustrated when you have to play 40 minute games when you know your going to lose at 15.

And sometimes I get Courage and Stupidity mixed up. :)

Had a really fun day today. I got the opportunity to pick some carries in games.

I won two games as Phantom Assassin, had only played her once before with bots. I'll definitely be adding her to my roster, I had kind of underestimated her before today.

My last game of the day I tried out Magnus for the first time. I should have tried him way sooner, he's awesome. :D
First game as mag = Soloes Roshan, Gets Divine Rapier :lol: Was just one of those games.

Good games, that was a lot of fun! Definitely need to do more of those. I'm not used to Slardar, only played him once before. I like all the stuns he can dish out. ^^

ArcAngel I really enjoyed that one game, I finally had a game where I didn't feed lol! That was a good team with PA/Mirana, well played. :]

Oh my goodness! I totally had forgotten that I started playing Warcraft III a couple years back! I was at my brothers and he had it on his computer, it was totally awesome but I only got to play a couple hours. I never got to continue.

1v1? That's a lot of free farming.

I didn't know such tourneys existed, but I'd be interested in trying it. When you say tourny do you mean winners move on losers are out, like in a cup bracket?

Thanks for the game Arc and Mister!

Sorry I had to afk for the last minute or so, my dinner had been growing cold and my mother angry so I had to go after we had taken the base. They were all waiting for me otherwise I would have been able to stay for that little bit extra.

That last teamfight was awesome, I had like 5 hp left ^^ You got some nice items as well :)

Earth Spirit seems like he will be a hero that will rely on the skill of the player, which I think is kind of cool. When everyone one of his skills has to be used together to be fully effective it will all come down to how well you can play him and strategize in the moment. I just love how his skills have so much combo potential. I got first blood in my bot game with him :D

Haven't been able to play Diretide yet, had to go as soon as it started. :(

Tons of the Uncommon Recipe and yet not even a single set of common ingridents. :/ If anyone needs a copy of the uncommon recipe give me a shout.
It's to bad they changed the reward system, I was hoping to get some awesome items :(

Finally got to play DT :D It's awesome! I love the shorter time only being 20 minutes.

The drops aren't as bad as forum trolls were making them sound, I got an AM item on top of my other things so there is still a chance for non-crafting drops.

Question: I was playing Abaddon, and when Rosh pulsed my ult got refreshed and I was unkillable. Why did I start dying at lvl 2 rosh all the sudden?

I got a Shadow Essence and a Locked Gem Cache. :D

Oh I figured out why I was dying while Abaddon's ult was up, you need to buy a heart for it to work.

The thing I love about Dota is that it only takes one game to make it all better.

This morning I had three terrible games as Warlock/Bloodseeker/Templar but then I decided to buckle down and really try a lot harder. Went 11-1 with PA, only died the once at the end in their base. Wasn't really a stomp, just a ton of close calls and near lost fights.

If your still having fun then having a couple good games might make it all better, but if it isn't fun anymore a break might be the right call.

I'm hardly one to give advice though, my whole life has been a waste and I have no willpower to change. I probably couldn't quit dota now if I wanted to :cry:

I want to play that snow map all the time, I wish there was some option to do that.

You mean frostuvies? I am doubt frostuvies are happening this year. I heard that frostiuvies Day 3 was cancelled in last year and instead they did greeveling.

Wow, just had the biggest rat dota game ever. This pudge got fed all game, just had no chance to do anything.

Finally we got ultra lucky with crits andtook him down twice. He was greedy and didn't have buyback so we splitpushed to victory. They were just stunned when we won.

It's something I'd really like to try, but I think it would be hard to get going into something like that. The free equipment is going to be a disadvantage and when you see so many awesome items already on the workshop it's hard to imagine anything ever getting accepted.

Still, I think it would be a fun experience. I've always liked art and contributing to games, but i've never done 3D modelling before.

Been far too quiet in here lately.

I did a couple 1v1 games with a friend, was a lot of fun. Also started some hero concepts for modelling.

What has everyone been up to?

If you can get 15 kills with skywrath then you should be able to wreck them by choosing a hard carry.

I'm a pretty carefree kind of guy so if I play support I just try and have as much fun as possible. If you win, bonus. ^^

Too many carries fighting for farm is worse. And you wouldn't be able to kill or live until you're fat because everyone needs items D:
Well there are a few who don't need a ton of farm. Viper with a mek and possibly aghs can be just as good teamwise for supporting. I have even seen an influx of support alch's recently in pro games even. Sometimes greedy is good as long as you balance it properly.

Or you can be the guy who instapicks the carry :P

If I don't then I'll be very close, had a bit of a bad streak lately and I think i'm back in the trenches. Just had a game with russians >.<

Hi Rothwell. I would suggest Micro games as they have fun setups that can really spice up mafia. Regular games with no cool roles and hardly any power roles aren't my favourite either.

Frostivus Yes, Grevilling No.

Oh gosh, what tier am I in... Have noobs feeding nonstop, have no clue what they are doing. (I am talking about my party MMR btw, I always stack with my friend.) Why is it when you get noobs who just suck the other team never has anyone of their same skill? Thanks balancing. :(

On a brighter note, I finished some concepts for a Beastmaster set! I got a modelling software and I'm gonna try to shape it out soon. :D

Meanwhile the high mmr opponents are picking hardcarries while I'm stuck in the 5th position because people usually instapick.

I think I am getting better at support though. I played a crystal maiden game and my warding was spot on.

Happy birthday Arc!


I don't see LC anywhere? Is she released yet or still on the way?

p.s.: What are the monsters in the back of that pic?

Sorry i haven't been able to have a game with you recently Arc, it's hard when I'm at my house since I'm very limited.

I got a wild boar cour, diretide skin, DP announcer, tourny ticket + most of the other stuff you got.

Farthest I have gotten is the Ursa round.

So far I have had the most success with SF, necromastery builds up so quickly with so many creeps and he has good aoe as well.

What counters a PA? I just went 12-0 with her in an awesome game.
The only trouble I have ever had with her was when I was against 3 blademails in a prior game. I'm thinking in terms of heroes though, not items like mkb or hh.

Granted, you learn to crochet. :P
I wish for a magical pony.

Could you look into finding a team with mics around your timezone to coordinate and practice? I always play better when another player has a mic and enjoys joking around/chatting in lane.

Or are you noticing it's worse when teammates don't speak english? I find I have like a %20 win rate when I can't understand them in spanish/russian.

If your sole focus is to win then that is the only thing that will make you happy, and things will bother you a lot more. If you play for fun you will never be disappointed. :)

I am going to Arizona for a month starting Sunday, so I'll be on way less.

Hello from Buckeye, Arizona. After driving 1700 miles it's nice to relax by the pool with my feet up. ^^

Dota has been at the back of my mind, bot games are the only thing I can play lol. Played a couple just to try out characters for a challenge, I won a Chen game which was fun.

So I found out my crappy RV park internet is actually good enough to play a full game. Damn I was rusty…. Lost my game as Mirana.

I have been practicing Lone Druid in lots of bot games, and yesterday I won a co-op game with him. I find team fights to be a real nightmare, but that could just be because it's against bots who have a billion nukes usually.

I was watching a game that had a Nature's Prophet/Medusa/Alchemist combo.

NP had medusa's trip shot and mana shield along with Alch's ult. He tore up heroes and had enough farm for a 15 minute rapier after Midas and Deso.

Am I the only guy who uses WASD to move the camera? QERF are set to my abilities, and occasionally TG or mousewheel if I play someone like Rubick who has a 4th skill.

As for micro I have Hero set to "Space" and my summons set to "Cmd" (which is the same as Alt on a windows pc). That way I only have to move my thumb a tiny bit to switch between myself and something like a Syllabear. And if I play chen I can cycle through them with C.

Seems to be working very well for me, I won my first Lone Druid game.

P.s.: My friend just taught me how to Deny with a right click the same as last hitting :D

After a couple months I finally played 10 ranked games and got my MMR. I was kind of expecting it to be low, i've been getting paired with a ton of idiots lately. 2.3k, meh what can you do.

I've been thinking about looking for people to stack with, it's getting to the point where it's hard to have fun with such stupid teammates... and I think they are starting to rub off on me :igmeou:

In post 1785, Katsuki wrote:I watched part of the replay, and luckily the caster didn't ever focus on my fail jungling (but he pointed out my very late 13-min midas >.>)
I think I would have scrapped the HoM at that point. :P

Anyone notice something weird with the MMR recently? I've only lost a couple games over the last couple days and I'm starting to get a bit paranoid lol. Also, that bug where you couldn't see your recent games was annoying. :?

Sure a lot of pro games with an Ember spirit in them lately. I don't really see him winning a lot of his games though, why does he keep getting picked up?

I wish you could see more creative lineups like Support Wraith more often. Something like a Wraith/Lifestealer/Ursa/Omni/Venge combo would be killer. :lol:

What do you mean vegetable maiden? She just stole Abaddon's spot in my top 3 heroes for wins.

I'm on a 7 game winning streak, I'm not sure if I should keep going or uninstall and be able to sleep happy for the rest of my life. :lol:

Edit: I chanced it, i'm up to 10 :eek:

I agree that it's random, especially with April so close. Does it change after each game?

P.s. Lost my streak at 14 games. :cry:

Same thing was happening to me but I thought it was just my internet since my steam chat was cut off at the same time. I can reconnect fine but when it happens in a teamfight you want to pull your hair out.

I got gifted a compendium yesterday by my best friend :D I got the axe immortal which made me sad, I was hoping for storm or DP. Ace, why didn't you keep the DK item? That thing looks sweet!

Is the fantasy league thing easy to figure out?

p.s. I might binge on dota on monday so if anyone is around i'd love to play, it's been ages since we made a party :/
