DotA Allstars (Defense of the Ancients)
So far I've seen only two comments throughout the HLP via the Search button regarding DotA. Apparently Androgeos Exeunt might know the game, and some other member (I forgot his name).

Anyway, you know what I'm talking about - the WarCraft 3 mod whose popularity somehow rivalled even Warcraft 3 itself. DotA.

Post your favorite heroes, favorite items, favorite strategies and techniques, etc.

Favorite Hero...
Sentinel: Stone Giant, Centaur Warchief (don't use him so often though), Pandaren Brewmaster
Scourge: Pit Lord, Skeleton King, Slithereen Guard (occasionally)

Favorite Items...
-Usually I start out with a Healing Salve, then work for a Perseverance and Broadsword+Claymore for a Battle Fury. Might settle for another Battle Fury later, or alternatively, Stygian Desolator (-6 to enemy's armor, lol), then a Hyperstone, then a Crysalis for a chance to deal 175% critical damage.

Post! Run! Destroy! get Killed! Have someone Kill you 10 times! Make an Insane enemy hero go Holy **** or beyond godlike by just allowing yourself to be killed! Pinpoint your rage towards the annoying Ziggurat with its insane blue lazer or the Sentinel's Ancient Protector's huge Boulders of Doom! Or maybe just realize that you've spent so much money and skill just trying to beat that damn huge Granite Golem Roshan just to get about 300 gold, level up one level, and get an Aegis of Immortal that can only be used once when you can use it infinitely with Skeleton King! Go AHEAAD! How about getting fried by a Fountain? How the hell can something with pure water fire Fire...if you know what I mean.
With the rapid increase of FS fan-made campaigns, we're giving the GTVA a harder time with more violence and genocide.

Re: DotA Allstars (Defense of the Ancients)
Hero: Traxex the Drow ranger
Build: MoM, BFly, Buriza, Hand of Midas, Etheral blade[, Heart - if the game lasts long enough]

I love this kickass killer :D The best part is the ultimate, 3x +15 to main stat, which is agi. Along with Freezing arrows, ultimate ATKSpeed of absolute doom caused by midas, bfly and mom, you hardly ever need much damage as you attack fast with small damage and slow. there's nothing like hitting somebody from the fog of war with her :)

Most people have moved on, the pros went to HoN and the noobs went to LoL.

Re: DotA Allstars (Defense of the Ancients)
HoN Is just a plain ripoff with new graphics and changed names and i expect it to get into some trouble when Dota 2 is out. LoL made more changes IMHO so i have to side with Scotty :P

Re: DotA Allstars (Defense of the Ancients)
The fix is fine but both declarations are true :P

Re: DotA Allstars (Defense of the Ancients)
Dammit, which of those three is usually the most preferred? (and what is this about noobs/nice guys going to League of Legends and pros going to HoN?)

Well, I think I'm getting both now, if my Laptop's remaining space permits.

Heroes: Jarvan, Nasus

Oh, right, we're talking about the one that has no matchmaking and has been surpassed in every way by its successors. Carry on then.

Wait, no, parting shot. LoL is the best. Exhibit A, Exhibit B
I will ask that you explain yourself. Please do so with the clear understanding that I may decide I am angry enough to destroy all of you and raze this sickening mausoleum of fraud down to the naked rock it stands on.

Re: DotA Allstars (Defense of the Ancients)
LoL has a shallower learning curve and is kinder to new players.  HoN is for the already established people who want to play no life team vs. no life team instead of a fun game.

 
Re: DotA Allstars (Defense of the Ancients)
Competitive gaming is the only truly entertaining gaming.
E-Sports will always be better than 'playing for fun'.

Re: DotA Allstars (Defense of the Ancients)
I always played 6.58 AI. The 6.70+ versions eliminate the tendency for no enemy heroes at all to be in one specific lane, am I right?

If so, what I would say: :(

Re: DotA Allstars (Defense of the Ancients)
This thread needs more bragging. I'll start.



I was solo top, Lux and Twitch were my dance partners. Twitch decided he need to go gank mid and bot--which he did, successfully. I decided that while he was away I needed to kill Lux. Which I did, repeatedly.

Re: DotA Allstars (Defense of the Ancients)
They're LoL heroes, which are infinitely more interesting. :P

Speaking as a Lux player, if you were repeatedly taking her out 1v1, she was getting too close, or repeatedly getting lucky (the latter is unlikely).
