Especially heroes like windrunner who have a slow animation and then it takes a while for her arrow to be shot, shes a sitting duck for that second or 2 so its good to shave that fraction of a second!

Yeah Uno im in the same boat, i dont even want to know.

Welcome dude! cant wait to see you on mumble/teamspeak/in game for some games!
Dont worry I wont make you go Crystal Maiden Mid unless you want to

Fun games yesterday man, welcome to the group!

Yeah shane it gets fun too when you dont skill anything lol

6.76c just got patched into the game today so hes got his nerf!

Basically the deal with him is hes really tanky and puts out alot of burst damage, his ult makes the entire team move at max move speed and if they run over someone they get stunned and take a huge nuke, they cant be slowed at all so all the dota 1 heroes that were common picks against him to counter him are out the window. The big one that comes to mind is Naix aka lifestealer~!

Thank god! thats honestly the reason why hes as popular now, no skill aoe line stun . Now it requires some skillshot to land~!

The best most simple animation cancel ive seen is the antimage blink, he blinks and its really fast
but then he stands around for a split second, people will work things so that hes not standing around doing nothing! and he can keep chase!

Yeah gg all around, the first game is actually up on his youtube id suspect subsequent ones will be up soon

I'd see him here or there, but he was like used for super secret pocket strats because CM or VS or Veno were picked or banned and they needed a trilane stunner. He got some small reworks and its all he needed to be an all around really good hero. i dont mind either since hes a great support to be on your team plus he makes fighting against him alot of fun and a whole new game of its own

Come join us on teamspeak. looking forward to playing!

I like going phase boots or arcane boots on him early since he runs into some mana issues if you constantly gank ALOT.

your big item is blink dagger since you channel your ult, blink into all of them and unload 1100 magic damage on them!

Your a little weak early since your stun has a short range (it increases the range the more you level it up so you want to max it asap!)

Late game the best option would be aghanims scepter or bkb so you can live a little more and help your team push later with caustic finale!

Going to say it was a team effort, we made smart team decisions, like that lane swap. that was a team thing for example, we all seemed really in sync with eachother too which is like to die for if youre running a ganky team.. not to mention that early communication

Awesome casting man, it was such a treat to have some top notch casting this past weekend!

I'm a week ahead of you

Been working on different ways to do guides, playing around with different ways to do guides to.. like a guide for jungling a certain hero, or a guide on playing a hero in general, or even game concepts like ricing or lane control 101

i put together a replay analysis with BigBoss as well im going to upload to youtube when i get a free moment.. i play too much dota.

I do graphic design, mostly illustrator and photoshop but can do web design as well!

You've got alot of insight so replay analysis or writing content for guides isnt out of the question!

Like for example your jungle doombringer guide was awesome, thats the half the job of making a video guide. Like once you have it written you know how you want the video to flow! its just either getting replays together or sitting in a inhouse lobby or practice lobby showing some things off and recording and cutting them, throw in some infographics and transitions and your good to go!

Awesome dude! Welcome, hop on teamspeak theres always people looking to play!

Yall is famous now! GG dotanoobs.com be everywhere!

Ranged heroes tend to dominate lanes harder, and at least this is my opinion. In the new metagame if you can dominate your lanes especially hardcore then you can win the game if you keep applying pressure be it a split push or what have you.
