Chen...

When i see chen in pro games: damn! what a badass hero, that shit is crazy!

When i play chen: fuck my life...

Weird. He is the only hero with whom I have a 3 to 1 win/loss ratio. Pub that is... I think woods without counterwarding and the fact that no one seems to run away if your centaur charges at them makes him a great pub hero.

He's much harder to use than his HoN counterpart though, unfortunately.

How is he harder than Ophelia? If anything, having the TP on his dominate ability makes him much easier, imo, as his build becomes a lot more flexible.

Honstely I'm not sure. I played HoN during the beta and a lot of things probably have changed since then. I remember her dominate giving bonus MS to the creeps. I always got the slow first on her and blocking enemy heroes with her creeps was much easier than with Chen. Maybe they changed that, haven't played in a while. But the creeps in HoN gave me the impression that they walk faster and have a larger hitbox.

I never get slow first in Dota, creep positioning is far more important.

The lvl 1 nuke in HoN is 75 magic dmg.

The lvl 1 nuke in dota is 100-200 pure dmg.

Thats why you dont skill the slow first.

ophelias creeps gets a ms bonus.

It´s not hard to get in a stun when you minutaurs fly towards your enemy with 20k ms.

Mek is really cheap.

Your domination skill gets stacks instead of cd.

0 turn radius on creeps.

Only hard part is that the "not really netode but i dont know what its called" fucks up when you try to target different things quickly.

Only thing chen got going for him is tornado is super op in dota2 - dosnt aggro.

Chen can be so well played however requires a lot of Micro skill to use him properly. So many MOBA gamers are used to only controlling one character, so controlling up to 4-5 all with their own abilities can prove taxing on the APM. Thus why pro gamers can rape with this guy! Practice makes perfect though, so play him more to get better with him.

Drow.

I'm serious.

If I'm not doing some complex shit or position I'm at a complete loss. It's like Dwayne from Home Movies.

Give me Razor and I can position myself perfectly.

Give me Pushmama and I can micro to bejesus and back.

Give me Drow and it's like "Alright, Silence. Now what? What, I have to hit things now?"

Arc spam yo, its 85 damage and you can make it hit the same time as your auto which means like 135 damage at lvl 1.

Yes i do chain lighting to get creeps and harass but then there is a time you run out of mana Even if you have mass Mana potions you will run out of mana getting forced to right click. Maybe its just me but thats the reason i hate playing zues

[–]Weis 6 points7 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

If you arc-last hit most of the creeps for the first 2 minutes (I'm assuming you're mid because that's where Zeus belongs), using the mana pots you bought at well to keep you in, you'll have bottle up by the second rune. No big deal, 2 minute bottle just wins mid.

Yeah I know, I assume he's at least dabbled in Dota2 though and I wasn't aware he didn't follow the traditional build that I'm familiar with.

I can't micro with heroes that use creeps. I can micro with summoners, but actually casting spells with creeps screws me. I always play them well if I random them, but I never play them the way they're supposed to be played...

On the other hand, I can play Kunkka well, but have lost every game I've played with him. Always with a positive score.

HoN port of sniper. His flare is much better than shrapnel, although they work same way pretty much.

[–]Absolome 7 points8 points ago

Flare gives vision of an area, does a lot of direct damage, has a larger aoe (iirc) and has a better cast animation

Flint (Beastwood) is HoN's port of Sniper.

I still like the old skill better, scatter shot iirc, great for farming.

[–]Kanzentai 2 points3 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Flare does farming, pushing, scouting and aoe damage much better than most spells.

It's even better at getting the killing blow on towers with its 100 damage dealt upfront.

Probably SK and ES since I've always played with 2-3 people that loved them and I just never bothered to learn.

[–]Atlanta_Camel[S] 2 points3 points ago

I'm assuming Sand King and not Skeleton King, since he is an easy one button hero ;)

Yeah it's Sand King.

[–]emailboxu 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Both are blink heroes, very easy if you use the order queueing built into the game. Basically for SK cast your ult, then hold shift and use your Blink Dagger where you want to be. As soon as your ult stops channeling you'll blink and epic luls will ensue.

Same thing for ES but you have to be quicker (no 2 second buffer time), and you have to cast Blink before Echo Slam. Though usually you can just blink then echo...

[–]Boibi 0 points1 point ago

Sand King is so fun, but I just suck with ES. It's something about the initiating movement part of the stun.

Slardar. I used to be terrifying with him - he was one of those heros that just clicked instantly with me back in the day. But in DotA 2 I've done nothing worthwhile with him but be an impotent little fish.

I have the same curse with Lion.

Kunkka, Since the most recent buffs I've just been skipping vanguard and going right into shadowblade and doing better though, last 3 games with him I've been positive but I'm still 1-7 with him.

Lifestealer. 10 games, 0 wins. I can't kill anything with him so I'm a shitty carry. It's frustrating because I've watched a few guides and no change. :(

Cool down halves, to 12 seconds, not that big of a deal in comparison to rage.

Why do you need rage? They're too busy running, and if the other lane opponent stays.. you'll have a slow for him quicker.

You can't work out why you might need any form of prevention when they try and stun you? You arn't just going to be killing single heroes running away unless you're playing noobs.

Sniper for me. Seems like I can get some good ganks and early cs. Next thing I know I'm getting Out carried and feeding. Guess I have room for improvement in map awareness. I'm like 2-8 and think I'll get better and never really do.

[–]Boibi 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Sniper needs farm much more than he needs ganks. If you enjoy ganking then try Spirit Breaker or Night Stalker. If you want ranged hero ganks, then Morph or Huskar are my favorite picks.

Tidehunter. I just can't seem to deal with his slow movement and attackspeed.

[–]argonaute 6 points7 points ago

? Tidehunter has above average base movespeed of 310, making him faster than the majority of heros (something like 80%).

[–]The_Auditor[!] 4 points5 points ago

maybe he looks slow because of how big he is. When I played vanilla wow, dwarves seemed ungodly slow because of the animation but they were the same speed as everyone else.

Doom Bringer... I'm like 1-7 with this guy. Can never seem to farm up a radiance fast enough. I think my issue is that I'm constantly trying to gank on all the runes if I'm middle, and don't hesitate to TP and defend/push. All in all I think the hero's really passive play doesn't fit my active style.

[–]Boibi 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

He's a semi carry strength hero because his farm is amazing. He can grab jungle on the way to lane, which he gets bonus gold for, and he can get a free 3 HP regen or 3 armor if you find the right creeps. Switch to net mid game and crit, frost armor, or minotaur stun and you have a solid mid to late. Some even get a hand of Midas on him so they can get even more farm.

You don't need to take him mid, you don't need to help others, and you don't need ganks. You just need to farm, that is, if you're trying to carry. And because he's strength, his tankiness builds up too. If you can't farm up a radiance, get some strength item. A reaver's good, and builds into a heart, but it's not much less gold. I think early bracers do make your life easier though. A RoB will also give you armor for anti harass and builds into a vlads if no one else will get it, but won't help your damage and therefore your farm.

I dunno, try midas, bracers, or other small farming tools if you're having trouble getting the radiance.

I can't for the life of me play carries. I'm so used to playing support that I just sit back and miss easy opportunities. Either that or I over follow someone and just end up getting myself ganked.

Pudge and Morphling, just to name a few.

Puck. Can't do it. Just can't. In HoN I had like a 70% winning rate as solo sidelane Bubbles, and I haven't won a single game. That illusory orb is just too slow for me. I can't aim it to harass with it or anything.

Axe. I seem to get the absolute worst luck with spins in the jungle and they always seem to have heroes that directly counter lane cutting. I've seen axes absolutely destroy and no matter what build I go, I just can't seem to be of any importance (barring a few games where I get, admittedly, really lucky with spins/positioning/ganks/warding/etc.).

Also, Dragon Knight. One time I tried to play carry DK in an inhouse. It was unpleasant.

[–]emailboxu 2 points3 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Jakiro's pretty strong. His stun is hard to land, but if positioned right you can totally ruin the entire enemy team's day.

His passive pushes down turrets ridiculously fast (because it slows the turret's attack speed), and his ult actually deals a whole pile of damage if the enemy actually sits in it for a few seconds (which is possible if you landed your stun!). And dual breath is just another nuke.

I can't stop losing with batrider. With batrider, I normally am able to win my lane... Then I just really don't know what to do. I find my self getting slaughtered in team fights as I try to spread firefly even if I get an early vanguard or hood.

I definitely feel like I play him "right". Maxing Sticky napalm and Firefly first. Maybe I need to ge ta blink before Vanguard or hood? Right now im 1-8 with him.

[–]ArmorMog 2 points3 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Your job with bat after laning is to jump in with blink and grab someone then drag them back to your team. Don't worry too much about spreading fire, you just need enough tank to survive the blink+ult. After that napalm what you can and auto attack, concentrate napalm on the target your hard carry is attacking.

One thing I don't see often on a lot of bat's is that they getting upgraded boots after vanguard. Never do that.

[–]http://steamcommunity.com/id/azzuAzzu 0 points1 point ago

So what do you mean with your last statement? Never get upgraded boots or never not upgrade your boots?

[–]ArmorMog 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I mean right after Vanguard, sorry. You do upgrade eventually, but boots don't really help when you can ignore terrain and very few characters can actually chase you.

[–]loveleis 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

you don't actually need to GO IN like a madman, just keep spamming your first skill from a distance and auto attacking/shooting your nuke and then when the moment comes go in with firefly and ult. Not only you won't be focused, but you will also do a lot more damage because you stacked the fisrt skill

[–]www.steamcommunity.com/id/Lozarianlozarian 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

To quote myself from another corner of the internet : To play bat you need to to have a very specific mentality, it's the "fuck y'all, I am scarier than anything on this map" mentality. From level 2. You go mid, get 2-3 stacks of napalm on the enemy hero, then when they're facing you, firefly then run at them and go balls out. You start killin shit, and don't stop until they beg you to have mercy, and even then it's only to stop and laugh over their burnt, crispy corpses.

If it's level 4, you're batrider, and someone isnt dead yet, you're doing it wrong. Obviously this is easier with someone ganking your lane, but you don't need it, because waiting for help is for pussies, and you're not a pussy, you're a fucking explosive hellfire bat of death. Once you have first blood you have boots. You pop a potion, wait for the fool to come back to the lane, and you do it again. Then you kill his friends, family, and if he has any pets, you kill them too.

Nope, that's why it's so popular competitively.

Nope, only being close to towers or enemy players do that. One of the main uses of smoke (I'd even say THE main use) is that you can roam without being detected by wards.

Also, get blink dagger instead of shadow blade. Get a bkb, too.

if i get blink dagger, they all either have DoT's or their own blinks. i just can't get a team that doesn't hard-counter ursa when i pick him, whereas whenever the enemy team has an ursa he facerolls everyone.

only pick up ursa after your team has picked or when you have enough reason to. can't blame either team on a bad pick (or an unfortunate random)

uh oh, you are probably in trouble then. if you haven't tried looking up guides on playdota.com you definitely should. he's pretty easy with a bit of tutoring.

he's easy to play, but he's even easier to counter with the right team. I just always get put up against a team that's great at countering ursa every time i random ursa :p

DoTs generally shouldn't be a problem if you're initiating correctly. You just blink in before they can hit you with the DoT.

I'm 0/5 as Crystal Maiden. I'm scared to play her anymore.

I just don't get it, I don't know what I'm doing wrong. Oh well, Dazzle and Jakiro still have my heart <3

Just ward for your team, and travel with someone else.

I play support all the time, that isn't my issue. I don't think CM's kit works for me at all. I can NEVER EVER win the lane with her, and I had the same problem in HoN with Glacius. I'm just cursed to not play her.

Lina. Almost impossible to last hit with her attack animation. If you combo her with a targetable stun in the lane she's good but her third skill is the most useless thing in the game minus Lion's man's drain.

her third skill is bad, lion's mana drain is awesome. ;p

Her third skill isn't bad, so much as it's just less useful than the other skills in the game. It makes her wanna play like an AA carry, but she really can't get that damage, and the rest of her kit doesn't make sense for an AA hero. But imagine that skill on OD or Silencer. It isn't a bad skill. It's just bad for her.
