Creating the Inhouse in 10 minutes, so anyone interested get online.

 

[Plum]

If there is room I would be interested in playing.

 

[Virgilijus]

Sheep stick is super expensive, and the 9 second silence also gives you +80% damage. But there's also much better ways to get around (most) spells in DotA, through a linkens or BKB. Not to mention Bloodseeker really doesn't have anything going for him early other than a silence that isn't always beneficial to put on enemies.

And you definitely should try to take mid next time you're SS if you enjoy him, can really control the runes well once you hit 6. And you're not having to share farm with a Skelly

K I got online

Edit: Poop, I may have been too late lol

 

[@TKbreezy]

first game with karma went okayish

idk what summoner spells to use

I did flash/surge but for some reason I forget i have surge until the end of a teamfight. soooo maybe i should use something else.

 

[Ignatius]

...what have you done with Iggy?...

I have nothing to explain

 

[Wave⁂]

Elementz moved Yorick from tier 4 to tier 1

incoming fotm

 

[JTB]

Is there a part 2 for the volibear patch?

 

[DMG]

Im pretty sure he moved Yorick from 4 to 2ish and then to 1

Yeah Yorick has been bumped around a lot of spots. He didn't just randomly shoot up that far lol

 

[tarmacker]

Yay I got into DOTA 2.

 

[PhantomX]

Ugh. Last thing I wanted to see was more Yoricks.

Crush, gimme an invite! D:

 

[Turazrok]

Crush fyi I am your real friend.

 

[DanGR]

Yorick always been really good. Just boring as hell and some people suck at him for some reason.

 

[Dastrn]

At release he sucked balls.

just sayin.

 

[Vyke]

Damn it. You people and your Dota 2 invites.

I usually use Ignite/Flash. Or if you want to be a super douche to the enemy team and have a extra mantra lying around take heal/flash. Heal cures upwards of like... 600 or so iirc with the mastery. That plus you percentage heal is kinda crazy.

"Oh you're gonna try and kill our AD? Let me remind you that I'm AP Karma and after bursting you for crazy damage on my shield, let me just heal off all the damage your team ever did. Nbd"

 

[Mogwai]

surge sucks on casters, just take ignite, it's way better.

 

[fkacyan]

Surge is great on Fizz though!

 

[Zero_Gamer]

I really don't like Surge because it's used only for offense and can potentially do nothing. Ignite and exhaust just seem better in every way other than taking towers and growing really, really big.

Ignite is used defensively?

Love your avatar Peachkid

Last night I mained Random, take that you ****ing Koreans

I've seen Ignite scare people away. Heck, I've seen people run away and ignite just to be spiteful d-bags, lol.

 

[MacD]

after that inhouse, i've been getting 3 man ganked like all night

just last game i had another 3 man gank mid at level 2

i blame you dphat for starting all that

 

[DMG]

3 man gank new meta

you can juke 2 people, but when the 3rd guy is there when you flash, that's how they get ya I tell ya

 

[voorhese]

faithkeeper and i just did a premade 5's game in blind pick and we played a group of 5 and they had 3 wins combined throughout the whole team, their highest level player was lvl 5

 

[Geoberos]

Does anyone know if a d/c to reconnect in a game ruins the remainder of a LoLReplay replay?
Or having the replay on faster speeds when it hits the d/c point screw up?

So far the latter happened, but haven't tried playing normal speeds the whole way through yet.

discuss

 

[DMG]

Enjoy losing mid to anyone worth their salt/any decent mid champ

I like Nasus but you're better off playing him passively than actively unless you HAVE been playing passively farming til you can Q ****

 

[john!]

...how? it costs me 100 mana at level 5 to instantly clear a wave from behind my caster minions, before they even get their ultimate

edit: to clarify, it can only kill the caster minions before level 7, but the melee minions are finished off by your creeps and by siphoning strike

That pantheon support too good.

 

[DMG]

Because before Spirit Fire can clear waves like that, you have to deal with Ryze Cass Gragas Xerath Morgana Annie Brand Karthus etc winning the lane for free because you're Nasus/melee. Being able to 1 shot casters at level 7 means nothing if early on you're too weak to soak up harass from the lane opponent or can't farm Q without taking a large beating.

That and you're not getting much Q farm that way if you are having to stand behind minions/use spirit fire to secure the gold. If you walk up to use Q, caster is there. If you use spirit fire, only clears out the wave later on and you're missing out on Q farm. EITHER route is lose lose for Nasus. Being able to sit back and not lose the lane to pushing/dying ONLY means something with that character if you are farming your butt off and getting Q as much as possible, which is something you are forced to alter to employ your "broken" Nasus mid strat.

If you're vs a passive mid or something, sure go for it. Nasus loves a super passive non harass lane where he sits there and farms Q all day. Otherwise, just stick to top lane and get used to Q farming til you become a god since he's designed to do that more than he's designed to take mid and spirit fire.

 

[Strong Badam]

Lol aight so I play this game now. I suck still but I'm getting better.
Gangplank is the coolest champion IMO.

*******s keep using Flash on me and I'm not even level 12. It makes me weep.

 

[Vyke]

I've done Nasus mid a few times vs aggressive mid opponents before. The passive lifesteal helped soaked harass pretty easily. Though I wouldn't mid him vs like... Xerath.

Keep an open mind, anything works in solo q.

 

[Tmacc]

I forgot how broken Rammus was....

Then I played him for the first time in like two and a half months. Carried some awful players to victory...twice.

Also, I finally got to play Morgana for the first time in ranked this season, since they didn't ban her....then our support leaves. 4v5, win lane hard, still lose. Mad.

 

[Zero_Gamer]

Am I erroneous in thinking that the 42 bonus damage from Wit's End is essentially 42 more AD backed behind your auto-attacks?

 

[DMG]

Yes because it's magic damage and won't contribute to AD scaling abilities and crits.

 

[Zero_Gamer]

I said 'backed behind the auto-attacks', dang it!

Also, since most characters gain more armor per level than magic resist and tend to value armor higher as well, doesn't that mean you'll do more damage than with straight-up AD? I'd like to think of this without factoring in crit/abilities.

 

[DMG]

I'm just addressing what you said, not some deeper analysis lol.

The specific way you worded it, no Wits End is not essentially 42 more AD.

 

[Zero_Gamer]

Can I get a practical answer now?
