    Is there a handy comms server to use? Moju and tar have mumble servers that I've used but not when they're not playing.

    Just use it when I'm not playing as well. I also have other mumbles, vents etc that you can use if you want. Nobody minds.

    I think boards have one? But anyway all these are fine. Kag has a vent too.

    So many people are going to play him horribly. Combined with the amount of PA pickers around, that can't last hit.

    Thanks for the games guys:) I had looked at your profiles and was reassured that you only had around the same number of wins as me. Which quickly turned to dread when it emerged that you all had played dota1, shortly followed by your collective hive mind emerging and always knowing what do (including the pug lesrac) while i ran between ye whimpering.
    excellent fun though^^

    Stuck in ELO hell at the moment =( Queue with my friends (either 2 man or 3 man party) and every time we have some idiot who plays a crutial role character and fails horribly at it. It's gotten to the point where I can't trust pubs to mid, go carry, play support or play initiator they ALWAYS **** up. Ugh just been a rough series of games lately/

    CK's clubbing sound is the most satisfying thing ever. Riki initates on me, I slowly walk out of cloud, ulti, rift, thousand year stun and he dies. *club*

    I was scared and confused by that tri lane thing (can't really blame 1st blood to broodlings on that though:/). Once again spent a game running around whimpering. I'll be better prepared next time, and chalk this one down to i was acting as decoy so they would come after me instead of hitting AM.

    No worries dibs, basically the idea behind it is to give one hero in the lane complete freefarm with two supports (one of which usually stays in the forest out of xp range and looks for a chance to come in from the side and set up a double stun - earthshaker is really good for this).

    It worked out grand anyway as AM got good farm in the lane, but usually you're looking to get some kills out of it too.

    edit: Here's a video on it:

    If you're on Dire and in the long lane you're supposed to pull/stack the ancients as you can do them all with your first skill a few levels later and get nice farm from it. His first skill is a mixture of physical and magic

    You will actually level faster than the dual lane doing this, even if you go no where near the creep wave !

    I've been looking forward to IO:D They didn't mention it on the clip, but it says that any heals that io gets will also heal his theathered unit. is this still in dota2?

    Just watching the tri lane vid now, hopefully it shall be illuminating.

    When i play this next, i'm going to do the ridiculous RP he did for finding a rune.
