Jai604 Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 Did someone just say Puck is a support on page 2? Puck is a solo mid, initiator, escape, nuker, and can set up ganks. But is he a carry? Obviously not, which is why I put him as support. I mean you could get nitpicky and say he isn't a full-time support, but what would your definition of support be then? Once you get your bottle, boots and blink dagger, you're not going to need to farm a lot of other items. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jai604 Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 Warlock is sick guys, all you need is his golem + slow moving enchant and he is gauranteed 1+kills In organized games, Warlock isn't that great. In pub games, he has the highest win rate, as far as I know. Pub games aren't a good way to rate a hero's effectiveness, though, since the range of ability of the players differs so greatly.

Played with a bunch of friends vs some guys from this ACE - clan... one guy had Zeus at lvl 16 like 20 mins in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buying wards, courier, securing safe farm for your carry, protecting your carry from ganks, dewarding, etc. Puck is a faste farmer mid game with orb and silence at max. You dont just stop at blink. Get hex, bkb if other team has lots of silences. Items that help your team win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously Puck is no support, that's true. If your farm is going that well, of course you'd grab a sheep stick. Fun hero, imo. Btw, what skill build do you use? Max Waning Rift first? 1-3-1-ult at level 6? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If im against a qop mid or theres an anti mage somewhere else on the map. Ill max silence first just so you have a chance at killing them. other than that you max orb first just as it has a shorter cooldown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NightHawkSniper Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 Tiny's craggy exterior is one of the most annoying things in the game, next to Bane's Ult. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NightHawkSniper Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 PL and PA are probably my best heroes to play, when I play as PL I just use Dopple just so the other team wastes ults and then just stab them in the back in team-fights with Spirit Lance.

Get ready once you start playing against decent players when they get dust/sentries/gem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NightHawkSniper Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 Get ready once you start playing against decent players when they get dust/sentries/gem. still got lance to slow em down, as long as you are in team fights they should be kept busy.

Lychees Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 Wish you the best man haha just saying, once you get to the point where people know how to cc/focus properly there's not much you can do barring having great supports and allies who can gety ou out of a jam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GLASSJAW Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 I'm level 88 and still cringe when I have to play against a PL. Granted, if you can kill him a few times early he's pretty much screwed for a while, and a few good dusts will nullify him completely, sometimes my team totally just doesnt "get it" and a PL carries big time. For the most part, though, he's a noobish hero. PA is great though (again, with sufficient farm) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jai604 Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 Just have to shut down the PL early, and gank the crap out of him as early as possible. A farmed PL is pretty hard to stop when the illusions can easily kill you. KOTL and PL together is annoying as frack to lane against. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jai604 Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 Russians are honestly the worst when it comes to Dota. I hate being prejudiced, but all the random Russians I've played with in pubs have been pretty horrible, and constantly yell and complain about everything. I distinctly remember this one guy playing CK who kept running in 1v5 with no teammates even nearby, and then yelling "Why you no help me? ???? terrible team, motherfracker team, you ???? team is terrible" lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lychees Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 Honestly, high-level russian doto is better than any american game (competitive teams aside), there's no such thing as an average-skilled russian though Same goes with SEA players, skill level is too far variant.

NightHawkSniper Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 Timbersaw is pretty fun to play as, lots of late-powerful abilities + Bloodstone which gives your team a greater push if you were to die. (just had a 17 - 2 - 20 match as him, public match) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
