Dota: anyone wanna play?

omega monk uno?

Shit, that reminds me. I have to log in or else our clan is going to go bye bye.

I'm still playing, under "gdloco" since I forgot my password for gloco

I've gotten a hell of a lot better, on occasion getting triple kills with some heroes. Lina as a starter hero is a bad choice, I definitely agree with that. If anyone is a good starter hero, I would choose phantom lancer or undying. PL for his invis as a escape mechanism and dirge, well, because he's freggin' easy to use.

I've been into techies lately since he's so damn interesting (and entertaining) as long as he's the right choice against your opponents (preferably low hp and no -em). -SD games are what i'm into typically and -ap when I want to pick techies for some ka boom boom.

As for SC, I'd wipe the floor with all of you, this is coming from someone who has repeatedly been back stabbed on 3v3's and still come back 1v5 and beat all five repeatedly. You can't micro manage the way I do, even though I haven't played SC in ages, I'd still beat your asses in :P

As for dota, you can catch me on the east server weeknights. Feel free to add me and message me if you want to get a game going, I can host.

The most hilarious heros are probably Lanaya and Techies.

I've played too many 5v5 games where I sit in the river in mid lane until im level 5. Once I hit level 5 with my 150dmg meld attack, I target the nearest unsuspecting hero twice and that is immediately 2*(BASE DMG+150) within 3 seconds. Of course this doesn't always work if they get tanks, etc but with weak heros like kitty or lion, it is hilarious to play. Techies is just.. sit back and watch the enemy push and later.. D... TRIPLE KILL!... etc

I don't know about that. I played SC for a pretty long time and considered myself pretty damn good. There were better people, but 2 of me would kill one of them, lol. (to combat your 1v5 comment) =]

Keep dreaming youngin'! Not to turn this into a pissing match, but I played sc on bnet for a solid five years before slowing drifting into wc3 and I had that game down pat, my friend would often marvel at how fast I completed my base in comparison to him (I would be maxed out while he literally just started getting troops). Anyway, SC is pretty simple, doesn't require much strategy, its all about sheer numbers and picking the right troops, such as goons for toss or hydralisks for zerg. Terran was a bit tougher, but those mechanized thingy's (kinda look like ED209's) worked well. As you can see, I always preferred units that attacked both air and ground units. Flying units are slow and easy to kill, imho.

Anyway, back to dota...see you there tonight, maybe

Sorry, I played SC:BW from release until about 2004 when I started playing WoW (so roughly 6 years), then to WC3otA.

Ranked top 50 in Ladder for a solid 3 years. And to say SC is pretty simple and that it's all about sheer numbers is ridiculous. A few Corsairs and Templars will destroy the numbers game. It's all about macro/micro. Knowing how to path and move your units is the difference between good and awesome players. Build order, timing, expanding is all integral to the game.

I've played 1 game of DotA in the last month or so. It really has lost it's appeal.

Postjack can kick all your asses.

[laxx]

Possibly. Top 50 ladder doesn't say much. Not alot of people enjoy playing the game on Fast setting. =[

Bless you.

I agree that micro/macro managing is a large part of the game, thats why I mentioned my build speed in contrast to my friend. Sheer numbers is all it takes to win and don't kid yourself, top 50 whatever doesn't mean squat, imo. Corsairs and templars? LOL....yeah ok buddy, how bout a few observers and 50+ goons or hydras? GG. Have you ever swarmed with them? I've done it plenty of times to success. Siege tanks can take care of them, but then zerglings can overrun siege tanks and so on.

I beat plenty of players who were rated/ranked and all that jazz, didn't mean anything. I simply outmaneuvered them and beat them with sheer numbers (how do you think I beat people in 1v5 scenarios repeatedly? I had more of everything...more barracks, more supply depots, more defense).

Onto Dota: The only issue I really have with dota is the sheer number of idiots who don't know how to play and comprehend the damn mini map (ie. setting up a gank or pushing a lane). It sure can be a test in futility as of lately.

This is like an anti-sex convention in this thread.

I'm not saying I'm guaranteed to be better than you. I'm just saying that your statement of "I'd wipe the floor with all of you" is pretty out there.

And as for DotA, you can't be upset with that. Everyone has to start somewhere. I'm sure people were upset when you first started playing, as they were when I first started playing. There's always going to be new players or bad players.

If that really bothers you that much, get yourself 25 wins and go play TDA. Or better yet, join a clan.

lol, ok, you got me there, I should've added in a smiley...I imagine your a very good player as you are in dota.

Yeah, as for dota, it doesn't bother me when newbs start and ask for help, thats cool. What irritates me (and I should have expanded on this) are players who intentionally feed then leave. This happens way too often, they go 0-10 then get ck or just pp. Total ruins the game. I think I need to join a clan, I don't care if I win or lose, I just want a good game of strategy to put my mind to work instead of the bs that often occurs in a pub game.

[laxx]

If you host, just kick them after they die 3 times. That's what we do. When I say die, I mean feed.

[Nenso]

TDA is pretty stupid haha. My friend gave me an icon account and we played TDA 6-7 times and it wasn't that great.
I don't get what is so great about TDA. You still get leavers, and retards. Almost every game I've been in had a morphling rushing heart/butterfly and an averus taking advantage of his spells. The players aren't necessarily great either, they just need an icon to play and I bet many others borrow accounts too like me.

War3x ladder is hard... I'm no good at ladder but I had free lessons from a Rank 1 Random Teams 3v3 USWEST, a good friend of mine, haha but now I completely forgot how to play. KOTG + entangle + huntress rush... pray they don't counter me and start making chims. that's about it.

Haha SC:BW... War3x is all about micro but SC is easier. I lost all my SC skills but I guess I was somewhat decent when I was 7 years old lol since I was pretty much playing SC or Runescape at home on my pentium 1 beige-coloured computer and at school every day. Speaking of SC, anyone want to play? Last time I played with hydrocity and I got owned. >_<

I rarely host since I don't have a ck or ping...have any clue where I can get those programs?

I had 2-3 solid games this weekend. I should start a clan with the good players to have some good, consistent matches.

Indeed I did, lol. I host whever I play if you can't tell by the typo. =]

ok once again I'm bored of dota. reason? I'd join a 2v2 game and play like I would norrmally. Suddenly, the enemy ganks my partner, Lucifer casts spell/dooms him.. huskar runs up and uses his ultimate.. leaving him burning with 300hp.. and losing like 60hp a second. I immediate react and clicking on him to use my sunder (I was terrorblade) on him becuase I was nearby, but not right beside him; however, he keeps running. I was like RUN TO ME!! I'll SUNDER AND SAVE U.... guess what this smartass punk typed? "STFU" while running to fountain and died.

I'm pretty sure you guys know what happened immediately after.

SmartassPunk (Dazzle) has left the game.

GG.
