Nah, in pretty sure it was Spanish

The first game of dota I ever played was on the vanilla wc3 version and I didn't know what I was doing and I was drunk and I sat by the secret shop buying the void dogs that you could get back then and running them into the enemy team until the game ended

Is there any way to set smart casting like in lol where you just hit escape and click which skills you want to be smart cast one you're in the game without rebinding the keys?

Silver Alicorn posted:

yeah you have to set your keys to quick cast globally in settings, you can't do it per hero skill unless maybe there's a way to do it with legacy keys

and then you're using legacy keys

That's annoying but oh well I guess I'll just always quick cast everything

If you really want to meta, figure out how to disconnect their internet connection without it being traced back to you. They can't win the game if they can't play.

that's how you win lol ranked games

I do good with razor and also a lot of supports but the last hero I need for the 10 heroes thing for the compendium is od and I do really bad mid :(

OD is really good at some fundamental laning things. Astral gives you bonus damage (and takes away theirs if they're an INT hero), and limits their ability to cast spells. Use that big damage advantage to lasthit and deny like a fiend. You can Astral them right when one of your creeps is getting low (around 15-20% hp) and prevent them from getting it. OD's base stats are really good too with his high base damage, movespeed, and armor. Don't level Q at all until you have 3 levels of Essence Aura at least. Items are something like Null + Tango to start into (Wand) Bottle, Treads, Force, Mek. Get Mek or Force first in whatever order feels good. Then wrap the game up with whatever baller INT items you want and a BKB if necessary.

so do you level w, e, e, w, r, e then q?

I think part of my problem is not skilling right early

e: also I'm never against an int hero it's always poo poo like sd or bs or loving bristleback

Just had a game where two players on my team disconnected. One at the start and another about seven minutes in.

welcome to dota

I'd say it was probably because of them coming from lol because comebacks are a huge hassle in that game and almost never happen and also people just surrender immediately at 20 mins if they're down 5 deaths but people did that poo poo constantly before lol even came out so I think it's just idiots that don't know how to play from behind
