The story of EU Solo-queue (from /v/)

So we make it so that people can't play with their friends just because people stereotype other nationalities?

skyride · 2012-02-07T23:47:57.759599+00:00

Yes, and it probably wouldn't be such juvenile, xenophobic bullshit.

There have been ignorant fuck-tards since the dawn of time. I just can't believe how popular these posts get.

I'm actually building a resource right now: http://www.reddit.com/r/compDota2

You can watch the sidebar for open tournaments, I'll keep it updated.

Yeah, you're right with the skill build

I like all those items. You're a mid game game carry/utility, so you go what items your team needs.

More damage -> Veil or Aghs More anticarry -> Shivas (This + Liquid F More Teamfight -> Pipe or Mek

If an item is good on darkseer, it's likely also good on Jak, they both sit in the massive utility role.

I generally will build Treads/Mana > Force (> Mek) > Atos > Aghs > Veil, but lots of builds are good on him. Items that give him life + utility/damage are best. Your nuke,disable and passive are very spam-able, so you try to stay alive for as long as you can.

Drama is one of the pillars of good DotA.

Almost every pro player leaves auto-attack on. By constantly canceling, you eliminate the first part of your attack animation, and it's more likely you get the CS.

LoL, because Riot is the only company that uses that name.

This is why it's almost not right for a team like aL to play versus EU teams. Sure, they often have the higher ping then the EU team they're facing on USW. But if EU teams are pulling out of a tournament because they don't what to have to play on USW, a server they know they wont perform well on, and a server they don't ever practice on as 95% of their games are EU or USE, this causes problems when a team like aL becomes one of the top in the world.

Don't get me wrong, I like the team, and think they are very talented of course, and would love to see them at every LAN, it's just that whenever they play an EU team online, the EU team will be upset over playing on USW, because it's totally outside of their comfort zone, and I don't think it's fair to call it a win when it's not the team misplays that lose them the game, but their preparedness on USW servers.

It kind of sucks, but that's ping for you.

I used to skill Dual > Ice > Macropyre > Passive, but since the last patch, I think Dual > 1 in Ice > Passive > Macropyre at 8.

Treads if solo or looking to fill a more carry role, mana if support

Very first item besides stick/wand/boots should be a force staff. This item is great on him, and if you use it well, doubles his potential. If you have to walk up and ice path > DB, you'll likely fail against people that are decent. But if you get a forcestaff, you can leap in and get a targeted icepath on them before they know what's happened. Also gives you a good escape for a hero that really needs one.

Initiate whenever you can, he's got great str gain for an INT hero, so you'll live through long enough to get everything off, and get out.

Don't be afraid to use macropyre all the time. It's a short cooldown, and if chained with any other cc, does massive damage.

Liquid Fire is amazing anti-carry. 50% AS reduction is amazing, keep auto attacking the enemy carry if you can.

I usually go rod of atos or aghs next, both great on him for boosting your health pool, as well as doing alot more damage (Atos them in your macropyre)

Just some general tips, I am quite good at playing him as a solo or a farmer rather then a support, but most will expect you to support anyways. I see the hero as a very strong mid game INT carry that falls off late.

Also, hill-strat whenever possible. (Hide at the top of a hill and then shit on peopl that come)

Be honest, would you ever want to me on a team with Swindle #2 and Moonmeander?

Ah, another game in the MOBA genre.

Rush force staff

Also they buffed him quite a bit in the last patch, you can afford to level passive early now.

Well, a motivation for good custom maps also improves the free custom map scene as well, which as of now, is total shit.
