Don't think Slardar could make it (if you're pointing to his Sprint). At low level the Sprint MS boost ain't much while he still takes a hefty 20% additional damage. By the time I got boots or got a decent MS boost from Sprint, the Jugger would have made Phase Boots already.

So seems like only the natural escape artists e.g. AM, Void or Timber can handle this nasty combo. Got steam rolled really really bad thanks to this combo.

I tried Faerie Fire & Raindrop, works to a certain degree only. Still need to hug tower & get zoned out a lot, basically still lose the lane.

It's the stun + bladefury combo that I'm concerned. The raindrop is to block stun damage so that i can survive bladefury.

Well, just getting steamrolled badly recently.....so just wondering what's the usual counter to some combos that really mopped us clean.

Nazi-ed for you

Doesn't really work for me, I'm usually the top killer in the whole game (after taking enemy into account as well). The PA, AM, Sniper, Drow, Medusa in my team usually ends up faggots aka having lesser kills & more deaths than the supporters. While the PA, AM, Sniper, Drow, Medusa in my enemy team usually ends up godlike & impossible to kill.

I can dominate the game from early until mid, but at the end game the whole tide can turn against my side.

Then there's this curse that I often get too; when i check my teammates play charts & recent games (last 20 games), they have the chart of a supporter & plays support roles. BUT during that particular game with me, they just have to pick carry & farm 50 minutes non stop in jungle. Another one is again based on their recent games, they've been playing a particular hero really well, but during that particular game with me, they just have to pick a hero they never played in the past 20 games & farm 50 minutes non stop in jungle. Basically, of all the games......my teammates just have to be retarded in my games

It's that time of the month again, red days

Just in time for Boston Majors.

Huskar

How do we make dominated creeps auto follow our hero or a target hero everywhere? Like to make it follow us constantly, even though we stopped for a while, it'll continue following the target hero until it dies.

Mine followed until when my hero stopped moving, then it remained stationary even though my hero moved again.

Isn't F2 & F3 the commands for courier?

So basically, what's the command to make a non-hero unit under your control i.e. creep to auto follow you everywhere without stopping half way?

Like if I've dominated an Alpha Wolf, i want it to auto follow my hero everywhere so that I can enjoy the aura.

As far as I recall, every new hero....since Techies, Winter Wyvern, Oracle, Arc Warden....they're all damn overpowered when just launch. Took a few updates to balance it.

So now either avoid DotA completely for few weeks for the Feed King hype to settle down, or ban it or quickly pick it before enemy picks it.

Yea he was a pretty imba carry, especially the time when DR doesn't drop from Tempest's death. Also unlimited potions & dusts on Tempest until the nerf recently.

Utility heroes with bottles will be roaming around healing allies

I do, loss in FPS until it's too laggy. Sometimes drop to below 20 FPS.

Tunjuk ajarku sifu!

You forgot to add; whenever you pick support, your carry becomes shit, whenever you pick carry, your support becomes shit.

That case, happens too often already. PA in our team need to farm on neutral creeps 45 minutes. PA in enemy team farm on heroes for 20 minutes. Our carry needs to be 6 slotted, ideally 6 divine rapiers to hunt. Enemy carry with boots of speed only already started hunting.

Buta buta lost 46 MMR?

Check our group msg, me & uzura quite seasoned already. I've reached Dark Invoker level (last boss aka level 15) & with Uzura, we reached Alche level (2nd last level). Lai lai join, anything for 1 less pinoy.

For Alchemist, if i'm not mistaken, the way to beat him is to silence him via Orchid or Bloodthorn before he activate chemical rage. But ultimately I felt that few certain heroes need to be in the party if you ever wanna win the game e.g Pit Lord & Dark Seer.

Haha, just a small whatsapp group with few players that has been playing various games together. Not like the BP abuse group that we used to do last TI

But I don't see you online much also haha

Ok, so we're stuck consistently at Injoker. Any ideas how to handle him? We have hex, bloodthorn, BKB....ain't helping much.

Let's start with critically needed heroes

Treant & Pit Lord definitely good to have as tank, especially Pit Lord's aura. Dark Seer's wall is a savior when there's a mass of his minions. Is hiding for few seconds in Tusk's snowball even helpful? Is Medusa's disable helpful?

What I felt dysfunctional against Invoker

PA doesn't seem like a legit tank since she's relying on evasion to tank, unless she can evade Invoker's magical nukes & PA keeps on getting disarmed anyway to even hit Invoker. Sniper is somewhat redundant vs invoker, whenever wanna Assassinate will surely kena sunstrike to death, so can only shoot non-stop from a distance. Whoever trapped in Winter Wyvern's ice cube will be sunstriked to death.

Ideal Battlefield?

We usually engage Invoker in just front of base, at the T2 top tower. Is it recommended to engage him at the further tower from base? Any strategic location to trap him or hero position/formation?

Itemization

We Solar Crest, Hex & Silence continuously but he seems to be able to cast some spells while disabled. Any way to survive his spells, especially Meteor & Tornado besides BKB? BKB ain't that reliable cause of long cooldown & BKB doesn't protect from Sunstrike. Raindrop? Pipe? Are those even relevant when he's nuking like 1k damage? Any other recommended items?

Only got that damned red ball, no fancy name or icon. Nothing special unless you all want red balls too.
