Yeah, I know, but he's the fucking coolest character in that he can pretty much do everything, plus he's really safe in midlane, and considering I get 4-5 man ganked by fucking bots at mid at least once per game means I'd rather play him than, say, Mirana. It's not like my teammates say if a lane is missing and I don't trust my map awareness enough to predict anything.
First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win.

If you're pushing a tower against bots their whole fucking team is definitely around. Always.

Definitely. Many dota/dota-like-game players have shit for micro abilities. Invoker is def a hero that teaches you to be quick with both your mind, fingers and reactions.
Also pretty pretty please with a cherry on top a cupcake on top for a beta key~

"Okay, stopped Ursa at Roshan with a Lich ult that he didn't walk away from, I'm 2/0/2, surely we're going to win this game..."

Welp.
Myself and QoP both end the game on 20+ kills, but farmed Ursa/SF/Phantom Lancer 2 stronk for the other 3 Russians on my team. All of them had at least 15 deaths. and were nowhere near full builds at 60 minutes. I hate low bracket so much.
Voker's not actually as hard as I thought him to be; I'm not even playing him near 50% of his capacity (because I can't push out more than 5 spell combos in 3 seconds and stuff), but boy is he a bullshit hero.
One mistake I see EVERY SINGLE PUBVOKER doing, is either going full QE, with no points in W, or simply not using ghostwalk. Ghostwalk is get-out-of-gank-for-free, or at worst, you make them use an extra 90 gold for killing you,
Yeah, Invoker is FAR from the hardest hero in the game.
He's pretty easy, simply because he's so powerful. He's a ridiculously strong laner thanks to Quas.
The thing is, until you get Scepter or max Invoke, you're not going to be casting more than 3, maybe 4 spells in any given engagement, and you can often get away with 1, especially if it's Cold Snap.
About the only hard thing about Invoker is pulling out spell combos while also keeping your orb composition right for maximum self benefit.
I'm bv310 in DotA2, but I can't play until I get my new laptop. When I do, someone needs to bring me up to speed on how to not suck at it. My few games in it were bad before my laptop-fire issues cropped up.
