Daedelus seems to be trending a lot on earthshaker recently. It's pretty awesome when you jump in, ulti, use both stuns and then do a massive crit.

There needs to be a chat wheel for "stop attacking the creeps" and "let me take the last hits". Bloody hell don't people know how to play support?
I told this to a support I was laning with once, his response was "but we can kill X". How is pushing the creeps helping us to kill someone.

Just finished looking at it before, looks like a support's patch which I think is good, Lich and Kotl seemed to have benefited immensely.
Also seems that there is more anti push in the game now with Lich ulti + armor on a tower with Tree will be very hard to push against this line up.

Oh and OK with Ags looks like it could be op. 10 secs of invincibility for a whole team

yeah, i thought the buff to lich was definitely interesting (he was a pretty strong hero before that i thought). thanks for the heads up, can't wait til it goes live.

Yeah even in pro scene he's probably in the mid tier of supports picked. Thought he was in a good spot and didn't need buffing. Still BKBs on just about everyone on pro matches so it won't be OP at that level. I can imagine the rage though. I usually end up picking up Aghs on lich so it should be fun.
Phoenix and Terrornblade got a nerf I think. TB is quite ridiculous. One of the best early slows in the game and pretty much a double damage rune
I'm up to Venomancer in my A-Z challenge. Ursa was fun and easy, especially on the dire side where the jungling is easy (go beteween the hard and medium camps closer to the base, chop a tree down in the side of the mid camp to bottleneck melee creeps and just clear out those 2 early on), I can see why I see "OP" dished out against Ursa. Now he has been buffed again by making his passive (forgot what it's called) not a unique attack modifier. Skadi or desolater will be great. It also helps early jungle as mask of madness will work on him. Huskar has the same buff in that his burning spears are no longer a UAM. They're going to be even more OP at potato pub level (my level).

I have a fairly good win % with Lich, one of the first guys I played the hell out of. The buff is minor, will only have an effect if the oppo team has really poor positioning, but most people have worked out how to deal with a lich ulti pretty well. Shouldn't really be getting Aghs anyway, unless it's already game over.

he's easily my best support (as far as win ratio goes) so am looking forward to taking him for a spin.
yeah i loved huskar back in the day before he got altered, will be interesting to see how he turns out now.

true, but there are all kinds of time when "poor positioning" happens in the midst of battle. plus there's things like void/enigma/legion's ultis etc.

There's probably a time and place for Lich Aghs, but usually you're better off with the usual support utility/AOE items.

His burning spears aren't a Unique Attack Modifier anymore, so I guess you can have lifesteal with it? Which would be crazily effective, I would think?

lifesteal, desolator, eye of skadi etc.

Spears cost Huskar health (form memory, don't play him much) and to replace that with lifesteal seems a little broken.

did you see huskar before they changed his attack speed/damage system? nobody used burning spears and simply life stole with normal attacks. was ridiculous. he'd be on a bee's dick of health and still chew through teams. interesting to see how this change turns out. in my opinion he's pretty bad atm (though im pretty shit at the game, even after 1000+ hours ha).

Huskar should be stronger, should see more pro play.

The worst against Lich is when the ulti comes, and you try and run to spread, and then one of your allies starts running in your direction too, bringing the chain frost with him
Anyway with his ulti, if you can get ags, I think it would be a really good anti push as you can just throw it to counter trees/illusions/necro units etc and with Shield on tower, it will make it so much harder to breach high ground.
A couple of pros reckon he might return to off-lane, which might make an ags rush more viable..

Started playing this recently when I found some spare time since busting my ankle.
I used to play the original DOTA, and it is a little bit of a struggle playing on my ultrabook... But I still enjoy it.
What is a good win/loss ration for Dota2?
I've played about 50 odd matches, still have no idea what the store and treasure items are about...
Is there a channel where you can chat with other players etc? None of my mates would play this, so would be good to play with some regulars who aren't pub noobs!

Is there a Bigfooty Steam group - should defo get one if there's not. Always more fun playing with regulars than randoms
Ignore the store and treasure chests, just pretty hats for your characters. I will take the useless items off your hands if you want to get rid of them

Don't forget the Berserker's blood passive will be nullified somewhat by lifesteal. You can't turn lifesteal off so you are nerfing your burst damage a bit.
