    All I can say is Tiny with a sceptre, mask of madness, Assault C & Crits literally knocks towers done in 4 seconds. It's insane and hilarious.

    They reckon Phantom lancer next week, which should be fun, but please for the LOVE of the god I don't believe in ! They have to add swap, it would make SD alot easier and Random Draft, not to mention get it ready for all random.

    Prepare to deal the ecstatic ups and rage inducing downs of a MoBA though :P Have you any experience with MoBA games before ?

    Perhaps we should get someplace to stick our steam ID's so we can add ppl, I currently have only like 3 people, Tar, KaG and one more !

    Haha yeah spent a considerate amount of time playing MoBA's starting with dota and ending with lol.

    Allot of rage and joy went into those games! Ofcourse it has been more than a year since I last played a game of lol so I am as useless as a wet tissue in the game now until i get back into the swing of things.

    Got into the beta also but I know absolutely nothing about the game. Is it mainly multiplayer?

    Yes it's all multiplayer, apart from you can practice against the bots first in singleplayer so that people don't rage at you :P

    Try steamgifts.com, you get to enter comps every day to win it. It's also fairly cheap to just buy it or trade it at this stage. I'd say a tenner or whatever.
    Some reddit forums have them, also here http://www.playdota.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=160 and scythe.org.

    I have yet to reach even W/L:( Those first few learning games were brutal.
    I got brewmaster in single pick the other day. He was epic fun, with a few epic fails as i learned that his ult has a duration and that he doesn't reform at a random panda if you make one of them run away:P

    It's the same at HoN, you will average around 50% +/- 2% if you play solo/two people in the MM queue, so your not doing that bad, the important tidbits of info is your GPM, especially on carries, etc etc

    He is so much fun, and his ult is brilliant for disjointing spells. Aye you probably know by now but you reform at Earth -> Water -> Fire, but chances are they won't even kill your earth spirit, if its comes to it the fire spirit has got max move speed also :P
