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

I used to do that. I only recently switched. I never used keys to move the map so i changed them one by one

A became attack. S became stop. D became an ability.

I've had it set up like that for ages :P but i'm thinking of changing it back. Cause it makes it hard to do the tower aggro switching trick sometimes.

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:

Is Luna a good carry to learn with when you're pretty godawful at this game, if not then who would you suggest when I'm forced to do things other then ward bitch?

Luna can be very squishy, but she has a much stronger early-mid game presence than a lot of heroes. She can also push rather fast. Need good positioning and good item building.

In general tanky heroes are good to start out with, if only because they don't die as easily. CK is one that I can think of off the top of my head (alch used to be one but not so much anymore). I tend to build a very tanky spec, but you need very good map awareness to play her to her fullest potential.

Let's see... bristleback can be very tanky... as can slardar... Doom is most definitely tanky but has low armor (solved by AC/shivas). Dragon knight is very very tanky but he is more of a semi-carry. Spirit breaker is certainly tanky. Skeleton King is a tank and his new ult does wonders in teamfights (slow takes place when you die rather than when you res). Tiny pretty tank as is husk.

A lot depends on your playstyle.

Perhaps this would be a good time to confess that I have never played Death Prophet in my life.

I will confess that my first 15 or so games i played bounty hunter, and built Sange y Yasha, Heaven's Halberd, butterfly. In that order. No boots.

Then once i built HH BoT and Sange y Yahsa.......and 3 shadow amulets. Cause moar attack speeed.

Once i built power treads......twice. Ah a trip down memory lane.

May i suggest trying sand king or bloodseeker?
