no i mean compared to stealth heroes in dota, he can stay cloaked indefinitely provided that he have mana. and his flurry attack when breaking stealth is way better than a plain backstab damage. and to add it more while he's on stealth, even if the enemy can see him, few can match his movement speed. the skill also have quick cooldown and have almost instantaneous fade time. windwalk (even NA's vendetta imo) in dota can't hold a candle against scout's vanish.

and then we have the ward. they last indefinitely, can cover important spots (shops, runes, neutral camps), can detect stealth, and can be used to silence enemies. what's the closest thing we get in dota? weaver's ghosts?


the other 2 skills is just icing to the cake. they seems ok. one is comparable to bounty hunter's crit/dodge and another is comparable with sniper's assassinate with a couple of plus and minus.

if scout were to be put in dota, i'm pretty sure he'll be nerfed in a matter of days after release.

he's not actually gamebreaking or anything but compared to other heroes, he's a bit too good imo.

you can create a practice game if you want to play alone psyduck.
you can max out your level and gold in that mode so you can at least be familiar with the skills and how to buy stuff.
but there's no AI or anything like that yet.
you can also join an unranked game though where nothing will be recorded so usually people wont take it on you harshly if you do bad.

it's actually easier to learn compare to dota once you get the hang of it.
it's better organized imo. and the recommended items for each hero is quite useful if you are clueless of what to buy.
just play on random server. it doesnt matter really. just avoid japan server though. they are a tad slow.

yea lol.
i know scout can't do much on his own. he still have to rely on his teammates against certain kind of opponent and also if the opposing team members is smart enough to not wander alone. won't call him imba. just that he's a bit too good compared to the others

ya scout is really paper and can't handle lots of punishments. disables and nukes pretty much owns him if seen. that's where his ward come at play.that few seconds of not being able to cast anything is more than enough for a scout to finish most int hero.

yea but usually it takes a bit of time to take down those with massive HP. enough time for them to fight back (especially with disable/nuke), flee or their back up to come.

*shudders*

*remembered my epic chase scene*

it's quite normal actually. during the team clash you will usually lose yourself amidst the fancy special effects and it's really hard to differentiate between friend and foe, and on some cases, you dunno which one is you lol. give yourself some time and you will get used to it.

yep. recommended items is unique with different heroes.

hard to get tormentor down though. he can kill you without even needing to see you lol.

i hope everyone will stop picking scout so that i can have him for myself.

last night i play scout and enemy got nymph.
i always target her wif kurossbow, vanish > chase her, and assassinate her. but after tat i got owned by her team full of disablers. when my frenz come too late ady lol but they will avenge me most of the times. when we didn't get wiped out.

NPC?

yeah lol.
hmm i wonder if they take ideas from the dota hero suggestion forum.
i think someone proposed an engineer-themed hero there who can repair towers and shit.

guys this just happen to hit me when ah wang asked lol.
does different orbs (or attack modifier in HoN) of a different kind (say, lifesteal and mana burn) stacks with each other? since in the description i think it said something like - this AM won't stack with another AM of the same kind, it will automatically choose the one with a higher value.

anybody know?

yeah that's what i said.
so you does can stack many orbs huh?
nice nice.

scarey lol.
u guys think it's better than the dota orb system?

superb!
just the thing i needed.
thanks mate.

i prefer EM as it's faster paced but i don't mind normal mode either.

err can you really invite other ppl even if you didn't prepurchase?
