For you DOTA lovers out there...

[Miharu]

New to this thread... do you guys play in pro leagues/games/whatever? idk much about DotA outside of pubs.

i'm on one of the top 5 teams in north america, which is also the best team on west coast which doesn't count for **** because all of the big names are on EC aside from fear/demon

too bad european/asian teams are still significantly better

 

[practice_mAn]

hey miharu is demon on your team?

that guy is beast

 

[Miharu]

if demon were on my team then i'd be on a team with puppey merlini kuroky fear amartnt demon

so no he's not

skillwise he's on a different level

 

[practice_mAn]

oh wait demon is from east......

ya dude skillwise that guy is... beast

what about merlini? I've seen videos of him ****** completely, do you think he's pretty good compared to some other pros?

Also on another note: I joined a new league called DCL and its 10000000x better than thr

 

[Miharu]

demon is west, he lives in chino hills lol

fear is from LA area

merlini is east

puppey is estonian or some ****, kuroky is german, and amartnt is from middle east iirc

merlini is on demon's level, guy's ****ing amazing

and ya DCL is a nice to play

 

[sprint2k]

u can kind of think of merlini as silentspectre or shannon brown

back when he was in jmc/mym, he brought the hype cuz he would make exciting/amazing plays and jukes

i remember watching a replay where he was zeus and owned a 3v1 (killed all of them) using jukes/fog against a good team which was ridiculous at its time

 

[Miharu]

was that the one with es/vs/lesh at scourge top t1 tower

those fog tango jukes were so innovative back in the day

 

[practice_mAn]

lol **** me and boredom king made a small bet

he said that you'd probably say something really bad about DCL

while i said you would either say something slightly bad about it or slightly good...

i win, it was like a really vague "ya its good to play" LOL

 

[Miharu]

ya a lot of the old high tier DXD players choose to play DCL over thr

i don't because i'm too lazy to go on east

 

[zBOREDOMKINGz]

whateverrrrrrrr!

I didn't say he would say something bad. I just said he'll probably say it was bad or something. But I did lose that bet fair and square even though I didn't know we were betting. D:

 

[practice_mAn]

im learning from little england! little england says he can tell who someone is from the way he speaks if he sees them post stuff on a forum

and i guess I can tell how someone's going to react to something. lol not that great of a skill to have... but could be handy in certain situations like with parents or girlfriends

i wish we bet something lol

 

[The Greater Leon]

im very different online and in person

most would say the same

 

[zBOREDOMKINGz]

I still haven't met you Leon. wtff

I still haven't met like everyone who posts here on SWF actually... :[

 

[practice_mAn]

lol leon in person

ATLUS NO ONE GIVES A **** IF YOU BEAT MANGO IN STRIKERS


LOL awesome

light shield edgehog all day no problem

 

[Miharu]

i flame people on lan

aka in person

 

[practice_mAn]

LOL

im the same online as i am in person i think

except i run my fingers across my keyboard occasionally

 

[Weet]

idk what is dotA durp

 

[zBOREDOMKINGz]

Possibly needed bump?

Stupid Hon making me want it more.
I still don't know why I like it more. :[

Maybe I suck less in Hon... Nah, that's probably a lie.

 

[practice_mAn]

lol i dunno

i never liked hon because of its flashiness and the fact that i have a crappy graphic card and it hardly handles its graphics on lowest settings (which is hilarious)

 

[Miharu]

hon's UI is better, which SHOULD be a given since the game is 6 years newer than WCIII

too bad the game is worse and that it'll get ****ing shafted when ice's project with valve is released

 

[Freak Gasoline Fight Accident]

hey vahag.

the game

 

[Lovage]

people still think that's funny?

 

[The Greater Leon]

i know lol is the brawl of dota games

but **** i ****

just carried the **** out of a team focused on my character

even though they didnt have the best support

raaaaaaaaaaaaape

 

[Miharu]

man i wish i could get mod power for this thread to delete dumb posts about brawl (LoL)

hi censorship

 

[zBOREDOMKINGz]

**** Practice man... You must have a super ****ty one then. :[

Leon I want to play LoL and have lots of shenanigans. Maybe I'll like it then?

 

[Mikelorus]

HoN definitely has a better interface, and in terms of mechanics has everything that dota does not, but occasionally it gets a bit messy in terms of flashy graphics, and the depth that dota has just isn't in HoN yet.

 

[zapdose]

haha I want to get in on this DoTA thing. when do you guys usually play?

Anyone care to teach the basics to be competitive?

 

[Miharu]

HoN definitely has a better interface, and in terms of mechanics has everything that dota does not, but occasionally it gets a bit messy in terms of flashy graphics, and the depth that dota has just isn't in HoN yet.

lmao at some of the mechanics

if you have vision of something in trees you can rightclick on it to walk through "unpassable" terrain

so say a valk is amped by pestilence and she leaps into trees. the pest can rightclick on her to walk through trees and beat her to death or whatever. pretty ****ing stupid mechanic if you ask me

@zapdose

i can direct you to some guides and whatever that will serve as decent stepping stones if you're looking to get into the competitive scene. not to sound arrogant or anything but i'm not too keen to teach people that significantly below me in terms of skill level (whoo that seems really ****ing cocky LOL). in addition i don't really play pubs anymore since most of the time goes to scrims/matches

on a related note i'll glad to theorycraft about random **** on here in addition to just talking general strategy/discussing any interesting replays and so on

tsUmuGi- on uswest if you want to bother me

if i'm not on you can go to Clan AN on west and bother people for me

 

[zapdose]

k that'd be cool. i used to play pubs a lot so I know most of the game mechanics. i just want to get back into the game w/o feeders/leavers/ragers

 

[Miharu]

ah

there's a pretty decent guide for that, lemme pull it up

http://www.throneit.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=48&t=6470

excellent guide

pretty much gives you the run down on how to pull your game up a few notches, and how to improve from there

 

[The Greater Leon]

thanks for the link chris. i picked up more than a thing or two from it.

also epeen post:
6 minutes, were 5-0, killed a tower onto the next, theyre still level 1

 

[Miharu]

if its LoL i'm going to venture a guess that its a common occurrence

that and i'm disappointed

 

[The Greater Leon]

its not
i ****

 

[Miharu]

way too good

 

[Nashun]

I play LoL Leon. You should add me. Nashun.

 

[zBOREDOMKINGz]

So as I was reading the guide I noticed a lot of stuff.
When it says play in the fog is it speaking about where the hill goes up for mid lane and you can't see beyond your creeps or whatever?

Also about not standing there. If there was like 15 seconds for me to get an item or something could I should just go or what? I mean the time it would take me to walk out of the base or something would probably result in me having the item I wanted.

hey vahag.

the game

lol i haven't lost in so long...

excellent guide

this guide made me realize that i know all this stuff already but don't play enough...

i might go play a DCL

and miharu you sound so cocky

but when i watch your matches, i realize you have a right to be... teach me lol

Also @ boredomking

ya my graphic card is the worst crap ever

its worse than the graphix card i bought for my 10 year old desktop. i need to get a new one.

 

[Miharu]

dunno i just tell things like they are

i realize calling people out on their idiocy may make me come off as arrogant but i don't care too much about that

oh yea if you want to see us losing in an embarrassing manner just go look up IPS on gosugamers; coincidentally those are also the only 2 replays they have of us on there

 

[practice_mAn]

I'm gonna watch your replays right now

and btw clan dcl is now on life support. it's about to die because some guy named "wayne" is spamming the crap out of clan dcl channel

this wayne guy is a friend of jizz1e -.- you might know him. he used to play dxd and is a mod now for DOL

DOL is the new league on USeast now, its better than thr, but not too high skilled since it advertises in pubs

 

[Miharu]

lmao dol is run by some ****** **** by the name of apollo who spammed DXD a few months back before its death

kid's a useless ******
