1. What are the general strategies involving early game, mid game, late game?

2. What are the most important things to know so as to not be 'shocked' playing 3v3s

3. Where should you ward?

4. Which characters are the best to use and why?
4a. Team compositions

5. How awesome is Akali on Twisted Treeline?
These are basically all the questions I would ever need answered about TT.

Probably going to buy wukong today...My friend went 23/0/9 with him a few games ago and I was inspired (I Mean I was orianna though and through my shield on him and did an Explosion combo whilst it was on him but STILL.)

Had a Question (or a Theory?)

I've been building Orianna Double Dring -> Tear -> deathcap -> morellos (with lucidity boots worked somewhere in between)

but Like I never seem to build the Tear into AA staff so Recently I've been replacing Tear with Chalice (the PIMP CUP!)

good switch orrrrrr?

I want to expect better of you, but I know not to

I mean, the pro solution is that you're the ****ing AP carry so don't build mana or CDR and instead just get blue buff. that aside, yea, sure, I guess you can build your own blue buff via Lucidity, NMST's Tome and Chalice.

I build them when we do our unstoppable 4 support + jungler strategy but that's just because Karma needs the blue buff less than Taric/Sona when you're all pushing mid at 12 minutes.
That team is the best. You should stream the next time we do that.

Got Wukong and played a few rounds with him with good success. Won my solo top lane both times and had fun. Sadly he's just not brilliant, even though he's pretty consistent. I did discover one fun thing though. He is basically a strong counter to Xin Zhao's lane dominance because every time he jumps you, just pop Decoy and walk away while he takes damage from the clone. You can also bait him into ganks really easily since you can leap on him in a "disadvantageous" position, decoy out of his damage and then help your jungler take his face off.

I'm still not the greatest at saying "can I get that blue buff" whenever the jungler is already there

also

I don't FEEL like an AP carry...I feel just like some kind of Damage amplifier because this is what usually happens in a team fight

the Tank (which I usually want to be amumu or Leona) does whatever move that pulls them in and ends up getting focused

I throw My shield on them then Pop W->R combo and then Just Q all day to kite people

The rest of my team pretty much cleans up whats left after that damage explosion

I've never really found myself doing a 1v1 with pretty much anybody. my scores are always positive so i don't feel like im doing it wrong though.

Truth, I didn't want to super derail the LoL topic as I know that makes some people salty, but at the same time I can't ****ing wait for this.

Also confirmed for a 2011 launch on the DotA2 blog.

Still waiting to see if they're going to make it F2P. Just wish DotA games weren't so long. Would make it easier for me to play even if I do get it.

They aren't really that long. Most competitive games are only 30-45 minutes, I don't think that's a substantial difference from LoL.

It's not like I play either game at the competitive level. Most of my LoL games tend to take 30ish, whereas most of my DotA games used to last into the hour mark.

For me personally, most of my DotA/HoN games take around 15-45 minutes. Most of my LoL games take about 20-45 minutes. It's virtually the same game length.

I have no idea what you'd be doing to have hour long games consistently.

There has been no confirmation on price point. The only time price and DotA have been mentioned; Gabe was talking about how he wishes he could do some ridiculous system where people that aren't ****s can play for free, but an ****** would have to pay $100 to voice chat.

And I don't think anything can really be garnered from that.
