What a great holiday !

•January 31, 2010 • Leave a Comment

i think i’ve not post anything for a month due to a loong holiday (which end up tommorow sad to say…). Anyway, my friend say in B.net yesterday “google meepo guide and your guide is the 1st at their page rank lol”. Something that proud me a little since i don’t think it’s important for google to rank it lol. But thanks for you all who read and comment to my blog, i don’t know i can’t participate much in dotA since this is my last year in college, so i have to do some research and finish my study. But there was an event in my college that dotA were included in there, so i think i can deploy those game here if i can join in :D .

Anyway, 6.65 anda 6.66, two or three new hero i forgot, the murloc one, and the ice spirit one..hmm one again if i’m not mistaken, I’m not using them yet, yes there should be some ppl complaining “imba heroo”, that’s normal. Remember when THD first release and wreck the game with his skill, lol so funny.

WCG 2009 Dota [Final] is sooooo exciting

•December 27, 2009 • Leave a Comment

hey guys, yesterday i just browsing youtube about some WCG (at first i search for ensidia for WoW collection:D) and get a link which show me “WooooW what a crazy zomg (omg i can’t explain it) final”. lose by megacreep but still can push into frozen throne that left with 25hp. What a good fight by those team, really i want to scream when Nevermore want to hit for the winning hit but lost by Maiden hit lol. You should check it in youtube i forgot the link ==’

Let’s Get This Done

•December 14, 2009 • Leave a Comment

Have you ever played a game that every of you want to end this game ASAP but both of the team always do their best? I played 3v5 which my friend DC-ed in early game and mid (thanks they’re not dying so much). The game almost reach 80 minutes with 3 divine rapier switched between ours and them. One thing you must sure is about, when you want to push, go push to their heart. It’s a critical position when your enemy push your base and you push their base. It now depends on how many ppl push and how good they manage to destroy the base.

Well i’ve played chen quite a bit and enemy always put a ward in the forest. So there’s nothing i can do and switch my build to support or switch lane to go to enemy forest even though this is a dangerous step.

In tournament, one thing you must keep in your mind is ban the right hero, get AoE hero, and only pick one carry hero for the rest of your life in playing dota.

Communication is important!

•December 5, 2009 • Leave a Comment

If you play in the public game (usually don’t but this time i want to play alone), make sure that you’re friend is conversational. So they’ll tell whether one of the hero missing, or tell who is the target to be killed/stunned.

The worst is when your mate isn’t a conversationalist, then you’re game isn’t too good, you’re friend also get pressed in every lane, well it’s shocking you know?what the hell are they thinking?did they just playing with their own monitor like play with bot maybe?lol This is different when you play with your friend where everything is just like a storytelling, with just one single move, they react so quick or just by pinging once, they know what you mean (I’m the one who pinging thousand times if i got stres:D)

Item for pugna, i don’t know if this is only my opinion, but pugna isn’t too good in a clash especially where everything move really fast. He lacks of hp, one thing i like about him is only nether ward (just laugh when i killed enigma with ward when he cast black hole near me :P ). Get dagon fast, and rush guinsoo, maybe you want to get phase boots to decre+blast combo + dagon.

Obsidian destroyer has no other items except intelligence. I get bloodstone and rush guinsoo, if situation isn’t going too well, get vanguard to boost some HP, you know you’re the one that enemy must kill before the battle begin.

Lucifer, even though he plays bad, but if he can manage his gold very well, one single item can turn him into a tanker/support/killer. Asking about kill a razor, don’t even think twice to kill him if i was a hard nuker, usually razor has no play time in my lane. One thing i must say, don’t take him 1v1 in any condition except you stun him (mirana vengeful spirit etc) since sometimes i underestimate his ring :D

I think..no no..

•November 21, 2009 • Leave a Comment

this is the longest time that i don’t played dota, maybe two weeks i don’t login to battle.net lol. Everytime i want to play, i had remembered when playing in pub game, everything isn’t good at all. so i decided to at least off a while, and play another game. But tonight, i’m ready for dota again (hopefully), and meet some other noob again lol.

 

many people argue that mortred high end build is like this, or maybe like those, but you can’t reach those item if your mate, or the game can’t come close to an end or late game. So, i recommend you if you want to play those hero with your own build, make sure your mate let you farm and last hit hero, pull creep, and etc since you’re the one they hope.

just answer some comment

•November 2, 2009 • Leave a Comment

Last time i played with ezalor and fully support Aiustha (it’s the version before Aiustha strength got nerf) it’s really fun to just shoot illuminate and follow Aiustha in action. I think she must get some HP boost 1st, since her strength gain is very low, only ONE per level. the next will be Guinsoo of course, but if you can get Guinsoo asap, you can delay your Vanguard/another boost HP item since you”re not an initiator.  But watch out for some high nuke from lich lina or lion or maybe luna.

I want to play some dota games but i don’t have any since it’s already a midtest week. Guide is pending since i can’t guarantee how long this guide will stay tuned (icefrog update really fast lol)

 

too lazy to read the changelog

•October 24, 2009 • Leave a Comment

so i have an experience when i play a game with my friend, and i didn;t read the changelog of 6.63. I farm quickly and buy power tread, but what happen next?gloves of haste still there and not a reagent to get power tread. The aspd bonus also gone (tough in 6.64 tread also get these bonus again) so after all, i decide to read the changelog. A lot of new things such as new mana burn, now it can counter obsidian destroyer :D

anyway since i’m still in mid exam i can’t play too much, although i try to continue Tauren Chieftain guide, but maybe in simple way.

Long Long Time..

•October 11, 2009 • Leave a Comment

after a long time not writing a guide, i have an idea about Siren and Tauren Chieftain. Maybe next week i’ll have a time since this week i got a midtest course which means i don’t have too much time to play around T_T.

But anyway, Dota 6.63 AI already out but with beta version. So far i don’t see any major bug other than Batrider and some new hero, it’s works well for you who wants to try new map. Read changelog since there are too much things changed like manaburn.

Start to play with my own ambition..

•October 4, 2009 • 1 Comment

after sick and tired of playing pub with support hero, now i play with my own hero. I don’t care whether my chosen is support or not, but at least i want to play with it .  After a week playing like that, i found that the best support hero is Ezalor, the worst enemy in solo lane is Viper and Vengeful Spirit is all around hero. Spiritbreaker chosen by some people now, i don’t know but is there something different with him since last version? the same thing happen with bloodseeker.

Last night playing with Ezalor, i don’t see why Lich got the same build with me. I should get guinsoo not mekans because Lich already got it. But after all, i don’t like Ezalor too much if no intel hero killer in team like Enchantrees or Obsidian Destroyer maybe. hmm..just an opinion after all :D

Allright, stupid ISP and this new post..

•September 17, 2009 • 1 Comment

My ISP connection is rather bad in last time or i can say in this week, sometime it goes well but sometime it’s not. So, i try Luna in some games last night, try to find a proper build, i think it’s better to get some hp boost item first. Since his health is very low (you can’t stand longer to activate eclipse) and then get lothar. Boost your hp is a precious things since everybody will focus on you when clash happen. After that you can choose between lothar or go butterfly if money can afford it:D

I play intelligence hero much now and find a lil confuse when being outlevel. Magic is getting weaker by the game goes on plus being outlevel by enemies, make the condition worst. I need to play more and more in IH game to learn those condition.

Blade Mail?Damn!!..

•August 28, 2009 • 1 Comment

Last time i played with krobelus, Axe (enemy) got his blade mail. I wonder what blade mail can do with my ghost. But the answer come so fast like the wind blow, when Exorcist blow up, He activates his blade mail and the damage that ghost done, returned back to me. Oh god, i wonder, did icefrog know this?it’s really unfair where you can’t control all ghost, they attack after i click some enemy. It’s really annoying that you can’t do anything with that. But i don’t know if i hex him, did blade mail damage returned also?

About Lion, i don’t like way of Lion with Dagon. He can’t keep his mana up in every second, especially in battle, you need to predict where your skill goes to, and how much the mana cost. Since Lion really need mana to control, Impale (160 manacost or nearly like that), Voodoo (200), and finger of death (520 at lvl 2 or something like that), i assumed that you don’t keep your mana pool to 1000, exception if you get stats. But assuming with dagon 3 at lvl 11 until 13. You waste so much mana. When your enemy see your mana pool can’t fit up your survivability to do Impale Voodoo, that’s your dead time.

Don’t know why, but i like it

•August 21, 2009 • Leave a Comment

Since patch 6.59, i play Krobelus a lot and don’t know why, that’s the best char that i can play (easy farm, silence and green ghost to rush lol) instead of Meepo. Playing meepo is rather boring for me, just use TAB, and use net and poof. No different style of play. Last time i try syllabear but i can’t use it very well (yes he is good if you choose to carry the game to late).

I didn’t read changelog even a little bit so i’m just guessing what the different every new Dota version released. Of i forgot, in some game i get Tauren Chieftain who lost connection and i try his first skill. Still confuse how to point it to enemy position which is far from my position, it always casted it in my position where i stand lol. Bat rider still a problem for me, but i remember those Dragonhawk rider skill alike with some -fun hero tavern Raider but Raider can devour hero for some seconds and tele to fountain and the rest when enemy released, they died in fountain lol

Finally, see this blog again :D

•August 4, 2009 • Leave a Comment

after a month without any internet and ISP in my home and depends only college net and my friend house, now i can browse inet from my home again.

Now let’s take a look for comment approved. First, i don’t know lifesteal still diminishing or not, but i think it’s still. I don’t read changelog precisely and i need confirmation about this. If diminish then it’s not 35%. Maybe around 25%, i forgot madness and dominator % lifesteal. Besides that lifesteal is the worst orb (last time i read about it), instead put 2 lifesteal item why didn’t get some aspd so maybe you get Lps (life per second) more. :D

for combo, i see, Sand King and Mirana is league hero and we can see many pro use them. Rikimaru, i don’t think it’s a good partner, how about replace him with Raigor?With single dust/sentry/gem rikimaru ulti is no more.

second combo, all int, should get the game finish asap. I found this combo in 4v5 where one of my mate got DC and zeus krobe alche and ezalor left (bara DC). zeus own in early game with arcane and infinite mana by ezalor, Alche big hp supported by krobe silence, yes we win those game around 30 minutes since enemy has mortred.

@meevo i like your comment, well explanation for another ppl that confuse about my sentence lol.sorry can’t follow up because don’t have much time to browse last time :D

Some idea for DotA

•July 12, 2009 • 1 Comment

Last night i have an idea about item in dotA. Since most of us wanna rush core item (Butterfly etc) how about giving some of them time bonus?

Take example with Heart Of Taras. If we can get it within X minutes, then we get additional strength bonus say 40-X minutes. this will cause ppl to really care about their enemy, where do they go, jungle surely must be outfarmed then with ward. But the negative side i scared about everyone will only focus about farming. I remember in 6.52 where everyone focuses on farming. It’s a waste of time playing dotA without even teamwork and just a point and click enemy.

By the way, i have upload some nice replay. I’ve play Syllabear in many games and i enjoy playing him. Found some bug when Artropos ulti you and you rabid form, then you’re free if you timing it well (but you still take the damage). I don’t know if it’s a bug or not.

ok here is the replay. Enjoy it. Since i will home changing, my internet need to be moved and i don’t know when i could post again.

Lil bit confusing..

•July 2, 2009 • Leave a Comment

i wanna make some guide but a lil bit confusing whether take tauren chieftain or banehallow. I thinktauren will get nerfed in next version since he is a powerful hero. Razor with new skill also come to my mind.

I have noticed when we get 4 kills streak, then we will hear Ultra Kill!. Maybe Icefrog think that there are so many triple kills around but they kill more than 3 in one battle :Anyway i’m still working in government instance so i can’t open this blog so easily since i have so many things to do in here.

Well last night, the last time i play dotA, i get 20-0 score. the first time in my life in my battle.net account i can get those scores. It’s because the enemy where so LOL that i can farm them with my meepo:D. It;s just a lucky score i think since i can’t do that again in next match:D

Not too bad, as usual new hero has some problem..

•June 20, 2009 • Leave a Comment

After playing some games with dota 6.60 i found that so many changes but not too significant in mechanics. But in hero balancing, well there always nerf and buffing in somewhere after new hero released. Take example old Jakiro in 6.27. Batrider get a lil imbalance, especially at lvl 3 – 6. Tauren chieftain, i’ll say enough balanced. For some skill animations Razor fit the best. all of his skills changed makes him new play-style hero not like old times when Razor just point and click.

Actually i can’t write any longer, still continuing with my project. SQL server and ASP eat my time. damn. i wish i could finish it faster.

6.60 is out, So Big changes happen..

•June 12, 2009 • Leave a Comment

I’ve just heard 6.60 give us big changes and as we predicted before, Tauren Chieftain is a hero now. I don’t wanna see this change from negative but try to take at positive side. Just like last changes about dagger, everybody complains but think before complain that it’ should be like that because we need that item balanced.

I can’t play so many games in this week because i’ve some projects for some government instance in my country. I hope i can finish it fast so i can try 6.60. Yeah!!

Finally, the hell week has end!!

•May 28, 2009 • Leave a Comment

after being a victim of more than 3 test and 3 final project, i can finally take a deep breath again. Yeah!

I don’t think raigor can be a tank, he’s not a hybrid hero that you can change him to dps or supporter, he is a fully supporter str hero. Assign tanking on him will only change enemy strategy to prevent his echo slam.

Vengeful has two skill builds. Since he is a carry hero, i prefer aggresive build than defensive build. I prefer fast dps Vengeful game than Vengeful who got Vanguard bracer and healthy item. Yes I’m Indonesian, but how could you say that in this blog where everyone may see your bad word and will say “Indonesian people’s word isn’t good both in forum or real”. Try to control your word, believe me, the one who judging people stupid will never be the best and never learn from something. Besides that, you say that I’m stupid but let see who the hell are you, people who don’t pay attention to their minimap?

Add : Mirana Guide

•May 14, 2009 • Leave a Comment

I’ve just finished Mirana guide. Check here.

Aghanim is passive item and should be get when end game only. Early to mid i think we should stick with active item like Dagon etc. Soul booster needed for mana & health regen + boost. It also provide less time to ressurected and AoE heal when we died int he clash of battle. Refresher orb in my opinion also needed but there will be a rare case when you need double exorcist. Maybe when heavy rush in late game say it’s reach 60 minutes? Well just my opinion.

Can’t uploading at imageshack?

•April 28, 2009 • Leave a Comment

it’s strange,last time, imageshack was fine with me but why i can’t upload my image?sigh. or imageshack require login now?hmm..i must create account now if that happen lol.

yes in some case stun will get more benefit but look,most of the stun skill in a small area (except infernal and ravage). and stun can’t be stacked, once proc 3 sec,another proc 2 secs,then your 3 secs stun will gone. Different case with slower, slow poison, viper poison, shadow strike, well you can’t stack it but you get no disadvantage when cast slow magic in the same time. okay maybe this is my opinion, and not all of my opinion is true, but it’s not your right to say that all people who think different opinion with you is noob. That’s why there are some forum discussion out there.

Zues or Zeus?LOL

•April 17, 2009 • Leave a Comment

just a funny thing i read about zeus in some forum out there. Why everybody call him Zues?:D I think everyone knows that Zeus is a legend or God at the past time in Greece. So what do you think about Zues ?:P

I have done Mirana guide but in my college , i don’t know why i can’t upload it. sigh. imageshack can’t be used to upload some image so i uploaded them in home. But i have a kind of project in my college so i don’t have so much time to play around.

Well, I think only some of melee hero can survive against ranged hero, especially ranged who can cast spell or orb modified. Tide will win if he can get perseverance fast, so he can stay spam gush or try to scare and get a lucky strike.  About Mortred, i don’t have the right and good answer, believe me Mortred is a creepy hero at start and he can’t participate well in big battle, especially when AoE hero move in the big clash. He will get killed so easy. If you ask this question, The counter should be other Agi hero like FV, Troll, other permastun and some kind of Tank Anubarak and maybe Blade Mail. lol.

Believe me asking this question will never get the right and exact answer because there always be probably and possibility, you can hex him if he don’t get BKB, you can stun him or finger dead him, stun him if you get a lucky strike (PA dodges very well)

Replay Player for WC3?

•April 4, 2009 • 3 Comments

Anyone knows about replay player for WC3 replay?it’s ridiculous to play the same replay everytime you miss some good part that you want to capture. Especially moment were i should take position about Mirana and the Elune target. Well, i should get three SS at that time, first, From Mirana Point of view, second from Elune Path, and third, targeted enemy.

Lion special combo, Impale, Hex, regular attack 1 – 2 times, Hex again, regular attack 1 – 2, run, Impale, Finger. Or in starting game, You can Mana steal enemy to scare him (Impale should be used if he doesn’t care much about his mana). Krobelus is underated because her role is not too big in flash battle. Silence can’t be used in Sudden attack like Echo, Carrion Swarm only useful for farming early to mid (well maybe in battle it deals damage, but how many times do you need to kill enemy with carrion swarm? lol )

Phase boots ussually used in chaser hero now. I don’t know why some agi hero like Kardel use that, but it’s your build. I don’t know maybe there is some benefit of using that. :D

The Storm of Mid Test

•March 27, 2009 • Leave a Comment

One by one, my mid test show up and postpone my guide. I almost finished Mirana’s guide, already taken the SS how good elune, Starfall rain and a good leap. Anyway, about the comment, yes i know nowadays there should no killing hero pick Basher, especially Rikimaru. But since i already have good dps, so i try another build and it’s success. Okay. it should be no basher but Butterfly or MKB, but i have basher for fun only (My team will surely win at that time). Trust me, don’t get it if the game goes serious since Rikimaru need a time for farming and basher is a waste of money:D

The Most Powerful Tinker ever?

•March 18, 2009 • Leave a Comment

I’ve seen a final dota match in my college, tinker was the chosen one who drag his team from 100% losing the game to 50-50. He didn’t get Guinsoo but Shiva first and BKB(as usual). At first i don’t think what so good about shiva, but when battle clash, i found that the enemy team, which AGI hero are Mirana and Razor got a big nerf with their aspd from shiva armor. The game last until 1 hour and the winner is Mirana’s team because Raigor, he is the cracker in battle. Sometimes, if i have a time i will make Tinker guide. It’s simple but powerful enough to bring the opposite team into a confusing lane pushing.

I postpone Invoker guide until i have more screenshot, you know positioning Chaos meteor well is hard and Invoker isn’t a good decision when it comes to high competitive (CMIIW). So i decided to make Mirana and Banehallow (A people requested). Once again it will be based on my opinion so if there are some diffrent build and idea, well, just post a constructive comment.

Don’t know why..

•March 9, 2009 • 1 Comment

My ISP is really going to make me crazy at last week. I can play WoW, DotA, CS but i can’t browsing anymore. There must be something in my router or those stupid ISP. sigh.

Anyway, well maybe it depends on how you manage the lane if you faces krobelus with magina. Depend on my personal experience, Magina will go aggresive if the game goes on 1v1, especially when face int hero. Since mana burn will wipe out all of their mana. No mana no spam no farming skill. So where did you get those item? I know refresher is a good idea to refresh the ghost if magina blink out and wait for the next exorcist. One thing i didn’t know until know, you put a really big hope to Exorcist. Since it’s the main dps for killing in 1v1, how do you compare that with magina base damage in lvl 25?

Magina can get Vladimir,Basher,BKB,Butterfly,PT, Cuirass. You can hope your exorcist fear him, but when he blink and land near you, and exorcist casted, how did you manage yourself to survive from him or can you running away from him while ghost bite him?

At first i underestimate Shadow Priest, but after some game, pair with any slower, he is a good ganker, lane controlling, healer also a killer. He has a skill that will safe your life for 5 seconds. AoE armor reduction also a good skill in long and big fight.

Sorry I Can’t Buy Some Time..

•February 19, 2009 • 1 Comment

There so many things that we can’t buy with money include love, time, feeling, perception and many more. I can only accept comment and doesn’t had enough time to reply it.

From comment, who is SA? SF is shadowfiend or Nevermore right?Since counter to invisible skill easier, so i don’t include Nevermore in that lineup. Requiem of Soul only applicable and cause huge damage, if and only if there is a backup stunner like leviathan or any other AoE damage. Since Nevermore will cast ulti on the middle of battle, i will always stun or silence the area where i stood at the battle. It prevents Requiem of Soul greatly. Back to leveling, okay shadowraze is a good skill to spam, harass, and farm. No doubt about it. Maybe i usually see the “Shadow” fiend with lothar or Dagger maybe?. If there is any other playstyle with him, i want to know.

Bloodstone in meepo is a waste, meepo need stats not regen. Keep that in ur mind. But meepo is not as strong as old time. Poof has got nerf damage, so at least when lvl 11, at that time, Meepo will truly show the power of clone. I need to revanish the guide but i haven’t a time. Invoker guide still in draft. It’s so hard to capture Chaos meteor and other good combo.

I don’t know if..

•February 7, 2009 • 4 Comments

When writing some guide, i don’t know if some image were changing position after published. So, i hope you all can be tolerant if there are something you don’t aggree about item. Like in the lion, get 2 Void Stone (before the void stone position get repaired)

Basher on Rikimaru, okay this item maybe can only fit on me (well, we are all have our own style). Since rikimaru always stab from the back, the only things that will be in your enemy head will be “i will run” or “i’ll kill you”. When he decided to run, he will get stab for more, and still will get a chance to stunned and get more backstab. If he choose to kill, use smokescreen and blinkstrike, i’m sure there won’t be any hero who want to battle in smokescreen, so he will flee and you use blinkstrike = backstab. Chance to stun is high since agi hero will get higher attack speed and when stun proc, you can backstab easier than you chase him with blink strike. I’ve use this strategy when face broodmother, when face 1v1, and in front position, he win, but smokescreen and he try to run, using blinkstrike and get backstab stun. Also i get dominator or mask of madness so more damage done in stun if i use madness. But in our latest version now, Rikimaru is easy hero to counter, just get dust and..

Magina and krobelus, every hero who based on skill, mostly come to an intelligence hero (Storm Spirit maybe the one who not). And most hero who based on attack speed, will come to Agility hero. Since krobelus is an intelligence hero, he will based on mana pool and skill. The only things to prevent while facing krobelus only when exorcist come out. Carrion Swarm only affect little in late game. Silence will not affect anything in dps hero. Magina will blink out if you use your Exorcist. He come again and you lose. The only thing to do is get DPS item but i wonder if this can be happen. If the game 1v1, From start magina will get some RoH or Defiance. Mana shield + defiance almost make sure Carrion Swarm is like a nothing in early game. If the game consist of 5v5, the result maybe will different since you have teammate. Troll warlord, Faceless Void can win against Krobelus. Most of intelligence lost of their power if the game reach late game where DPS and pusher is top priority than skill and nuke. And last reason, BKB is Int worst enemy. That’s why in most Intelligence hero guide i prefer finish game as soon as possible or if you late, there will be no chance to win anymore when enemy got BKB.

Heart also stack as far as i know. In last version, Sunder can go through linken sphere. I forgot the mechanic whether sunder go through and linken sphere trigger, both you and TB will get full health, or like usual, swap health bar. But, after all, linken can’t stop sunder.

Luna and spectre, i wonder does these hero can get a place in high competitive?Luna is just an easy hero to use, attack, eclipse and lucent. While Spectre need more skill to use when using reality.

Invoker Guide still in progress..

•February 3, 2009 • 3 Comments

i’m so sorry i can’t post Invoker guide in this week because Icefrog has released his latest dota, which is 6.59. I think i need to remake most guide that i have made, especially my Meepo. Played him yesterday, i think there is something wrong at him, and when the game almost reach the end, that’s the time i know that poof damage has been reduced. That’s the reason why i  can’t kill hero so easy at that match LOL. Invoker need the time to capture Screenshot. I want to make the guide  by myself so i try not to cpy Screenshot. By the time i finished the guide, i also mastered it. So, it’s a big benefit to me.Sorry, long time not playing Garena. And in saturday i always playing WoW with my guild in my country (it’s private server).

Magina will not run except you show your greenie ghost, but if i were magina, i will burn out your mana as soon as possible and if you have no mana, no way to rescue for krobelus. Magina also don’t stupid enough to let the ghost bite him so easy in 1v1 match. So, he’ll try to sneak out and do the run trick, mana burn blink out since exorcism is very devastating on 1v1 match + Guinsoo/Orchid + Silence. If both hero have the same item, it will be a great battle, but magina have a bigger chance to win since he is an agility hero and if he get BKB, no chance to silence and hex.

Chris, i hope you don’t spam your Garena ID here, please broadcast it on Garena channel, my ID is tyo06. If it is online, it mustn’t be me.

I think i need to rewrite some of..

•January 25, 2009 • Leave a Comment

hey guys. sorry i can’t write any guide in this week. Next week i have a dota match at my college and i need to prepare well since i don’t have playing dota will some of my friend. The match only take six players which is 3v3. So i think individual skill is the most important to handle those game.

Okay about comment, i think i need to write which version in dotA that i wrote in tips and trick. Ursa absolutely melee now, but before 6.5x he is a little, i don’t know maybe it’s a bug, he can attack in 300 range or 200. About the critical, maybe it appears in 6.4x or so. (i read it in some forum but i forgot which version it is)

Pugna, maybe i can give you some suggestion, even though i can’t use him well, i think Guinsoo will be your best bet. Pugna is a supporter and shouldn’t take much damage from physical (or you can use your banish to prevent high physical damage). Dagon also a good item on early to medium since 400 damage is nearly high nuke by some agi and intel hero. Scepter is useless and it should be bought if you got nothing left to do with your money or you have only one last slot in your inventory,

Yes i know skadi is the best item for Terrorblade. It’s out of date guide also. But i only think how image can deal more damage. Since only feedback that image can deal, so i prefer that. Slow is a good orb, more hp, more mana, more survival point since TB is a freak poor low health hero. But farm 6k money is a bad point it’s okay if you have time to farm it and you can.

Kael, Lion and Razor Guide?Windrunner Item?

•January 19, 2009 • 6 Comments

What do you think about Winrunner?Inteligence hero with arrow. Something different is happen here. The first time i got her when i want to try new hero is rather confusing. You know shackle arrow has animation attack like frost bolt. I don’t think it’s easy to do that in big battle. The key how to use shackle arrow is shoot it from right or left him. Since the battle usually happen in forest where Tree always stand in left or right behind us. Maybe the best order skill i can give would be get Second skill (forgot the name,solong not playing this hero) to farming and spaming. This skill is really cool to kill if you know how to use it. Maybe the hardest thing is timing it where no creep in front of your target. Escape skill also provided by third skill, is it correct Windrunner is the skill?. Ultimate is not powerful siunce it reduced our attack, but to maximize it, we should get modifier attack, but i still confuse about the best modifier attack for her.

Okay new map 6.58. still in learning while i finish read the changelog. Lion can get Guinsoo for help disable, or Orchid to go for dps. But guinsoo is the best overall. Other intelligence item and HP can suit him after you finish Guinsoo.

Razor, somewhat imba hero :D . He always make me laugh when somebody think that Lion use his finger of death but tricked by razor. Okay i will try to make it. It’s not hard to make a guide for him i guess since he’s just shoot and click, and chain. Whoaa..thunder everywhere..

Now about Kael. In past times, i have try to master him. It’s so hard, sometimes when i got panic, wrong combination pressed, and wrong cast. The key of using him is remember all the cooldown and manacost of his skill inside of your mind. Since he have many powerful skill, chaos meteor, tornado, defeaning blast, and other high range nuke like i forgot, that triggered by fire fire fire, it’s like zeus ultimate. Need high precision. Screenshot is hard to get. Maybe i can only show how to use since i don’t have good replay and rarely playing him against human.

Happy Dota.

Teribble Time With Linux

•January 13, 2009 • 11 Comments

I’ve installed Linux last night and it leads me to a bad computer now. Really, it takes time to repair it and the worst, i forgot to backup all my data. Luckily i have a backup all of my games in my notebook.

By the way, i played only one or two Dota games in a day now since i’ve something to do. I face the good combo in last game where Opposite team choose :

Lich, Zeus, Magnataur, Warlock and Centaur. Possibly a godlike mode to defeat. Since i just want to play for fun, i choose Kardel and my friend got Enigma, Luna, Nevermore and Raigor. Got die six times and kill three times, the big battle when Raigor and Magnus got dagger, and warlock get Refresher. Long time not playing kardel really confuse me (playing like a noob). But i enjoyed the game with 27 – 39. Sure the game show the good match, Raigor open the battle or Magnus stun will intercept. Enigma comes to help stopped by Warlock’s Infernal. Luna Ecliplse’s won’t change everything but only cause a crowded situation. Centaur Lich and Zeus can cause a wipe out since most of us stand near each other, Stun + CF. I was wrong to pick Kardel at that time, i hope i can change to rooftrellen or Silencer. :D

About comment, yes the build item is rather old. I will change it and generalize them logically. Most of them can’t be owned in game < 1 hour. Soulkeeper get Linken?i don’t think it’s a good idea. What you should get it’s all about stats/damage since illusion get it.

Krobelus with Lothar. I’ve tried it but maybe i’m the rush type with Heart. Yes survivability is the most important things in high end game. Your advice is good for all people in general game. But it’s all up to the gamers. I only give opinion not force you the reader to use it.

Sorry about the forgotten level in Magnus. It’s fixed now.

Cheers.

Please read carefully..

as i told at last post about Troll and Void. IF TROLL and VOID meet at JUNGLE and with PROPER item SET, VOID WILL WIN. But how come you farm your item if it START AT LEVEL 1? Newbies and pro have the same opinion that most ranged hero will own melee in farming, especially Troll with fast attack animation. so it’s clear? I don’t think you have all item in lvl 1, and i don’t think Void can take chronosphere at lvl 1. If there is a little misunderstanding pardon me.

Pit Lord, i know that he is a good farmer. At level 3 rain of fire can wipe almost all creep. This skill can be used also to creep and lane control since your enemy will not stupid enough to burnt by your rain of fire. Yet again, it’s depend on the user also, will they use his skill to keep spamming for money or will use it both harass and farm.

Meepo guarded by two enemy?one answer, ask help. You’ll out of farm, or even you can rush your level by your clone, it’s not good to let early game guarded so hard.

Mercurial, yes i found reality it’s not hard to clicked, but what i try to point you about haunt is about the effect like radiance and other. Again, i assume Mercurial got proper item. But, main thing is, Mercurial ultimate will never get weak along the game since illusion depend on Mercurial item, like buriza and other, so the longer the game, Mercurial will get stronger.

Back Again

•December 25, 2008 • Leave a Comment

Come back again with new guide.

but before that, just some of my opinion. if you think i can’t write a good guide, i appreciate it. Thanks. But personally, i want you to show me,
How to write a good guide?

I have been active in many dota forum and look some guide there. All of them were fine, as long as guide maker can explain and tell us what he want us to know.
One more thing, if you come to an 1v1 situation, i think you are a mid to high rank dota player. So, i think people like you don’t need to know how to attack since it depends on your reaction, your feeling,
and other things that we can’t describe. It’s all about intuition and only experience who can help you in those situation.

One more again i told you void lovers, how can you farm 1v1 with a ranged character?Even though he can’t harass you like Zeus and Lich, can you make sure your hit will surely “Hit”?
the situation will be different if you play 5v5, and you face me in forest or elsewhere 1v1, with same ultimate item, Troll will lose at that time. I can make sure. But if you start at lvl 1, in 1v1 only and you play in the same line, i wonder did you just blinded by any Troll outside there?:D

anyway, the main thing i want to told everyone is my play style about dotA, since i make all the guide by myself. If you don’t like it, show me the better way and maybe i’m wrong and i will learn your way.
Guide maker only present what he have not showing his power to let people know.

Need more practice

•December 15, 2008 • Leave a Comment

Really, playing Dota 6.57 need some practice while the last time, 6.54, almost every hero can go with me. But now, there should be more little tricky things to learn so i can master them again. That’s why i can’t post any guide since my mind need to be refreshed to 6.57.

Okay about comment, yes you can go with those item in void, but another things to learn after item, gameplay, skill, you need to know how to play realistic. The best player isn’t going to dreaming about the best item for his favorite hero in all time, but put the best item that can fit in any situation.

I can’t imagine how you build refresher orb at that time. Can you make sure you can farm Assault cuirass as your fourth item so easy? Your enemy will let you go buy it? 1v1 game don’t need gold farming, but push as fast as you can since only 1 player in each side, so you can’t both attack and defend at the same time if you “play destroy enemy tower first”. For me, 1v1, the best item i can get only Power thread, Dominator, and Butterfly. The game ussualy end in 20 minutes, or at least 3 times dying in a game. By the time you got your third dead, i can make sure , your  chance to win is  nearly zero.

Simple question i can ask you, how can you farm your item if you

1. Blinded All The Time?

Last hit become very hard, or at least you got 1 – 2 hit by Troll.

2. Spammed All The Time? (Void melee and Troll Ranged, you know)

The best item you can get is buy ring of health. But what’s your purpose item? Ring o health only delaying your core item, and conclusion is, lose in early game.

Rushing to play aggresive isn’t a good way since Troll can manage his range between you and him, and you can go near him without attacked only with Timewalk. Chance of being hit while BLINDED is greater than chance you pawned Troll’s head with your stun. In the end, you will lose because of failed attack and got to much damage in early game. Backtrack skill also doesn’t solve the problem. Chance backtrack to trigger smaller than blind.

So i don’t think you can get your Refresher orb so easily. Also you need to know your mana pool, if i’m not mistaken, 1 Timewalk and chronosphere + Refresh and chronosphere again, cost more than 1100 mana. You need to gain mana at least 1300 to fulfill those strategy. Maybe some good calculations about Mana Regeneration will solve it if only you’re good at calculate those numbers.

Again and again, i told you who read this blog, this is just my opinion and it would be great if you add you opinion so we can share each other. For the combo, it should be better if you add some AoE heroes. Unfortunately, i have not seen much league replays, maybe i should download them to see, which combo would be the best (again, it’s just me perception). I forgot to tell you that, the last replay i gave to you was on pub game. So, some will look and say “how stupid”. sigh

For those who want to download WC3, i don’t want to spread an piracy games, but this is just my suggestion. You could download it by torrent, and the patch can be found in blizzard FTP.

Dagger and BKB is the main item for Crixalis and i willn’t postpone those 2 items since there will be much whom you must aware when you channeling your ulti.

I’m sorry i haven’t write any guide for so long. 2 weeks again i will have a final exam, so there will be a little time to see this blog, maybe i should have another writer to help me. :D

The Best Team 5 v 5? League Mode or Pub Mode?

•October 26, 2008 • Leave a Comment

Sad to say, but i’ve to study a bit harder and let this blog a little uncontrolled and updated. But’ i always try and try at least, see a comment, and post my opinion which i hope, you got my answer. It’s hard to pick a good team especially in 5 v 5 pub mode since everyone wants to play their favorite hero which means, there will be a lack of combination and the worst is, too much killer like Void and Troll in one group. But, according to my opinion, for 6.56, even though i didn’t play much till now, this is the best combination for me. (At least my team)

-Leviathan/Dazzle (Bottom)

-Lich/Zeus (Mid Solo)

-Sand King/Venge or Raigor Stonehoof/Ezalor. (up)

Glad to see Dazzle ulti is a huge buff and nerf in a battle. Another plus things is a slow, and a infinite barrier shield for 5 second, giving him a very versatile support. Lich or Zeus still the best for the picking now i think. If you don’t like them, pick Akasha, but i think Akasha still need a skill to use. Sandking with Vengeful spirit is a good combination, you can replace Vengeful with Lina if you want to. Ezalor illuminate now can be used to kill an enemy in a safe distance.

(+) Stuner, Full support skill

(-) BkB should counter this combo, and no killer hero in this team, so this team should push a win ASAP.

Another recommended combination :

Warlock, Sandking(Bottom)

Viper (Mid Solo)

Meepo, Lina (Up)

Since we pick Lina and Sandking, so counter to meepo only AoE stuner like Tiny, Raigor, Leviathan and so. But no for Lion since he is a little useless in game. Viper is a hard ganker, especially with Viper Strike. Warlock can be a pain in the ass if no medusa or diffusal blade in team.

Internet Problem In Last Three Days

•October 22, 2008 • 1 Comment

There must be something wrong with my ISP. Sometimes i got high ping even though i didn’t open any application that require internet connection. Also check for virus but nothing displayed. Now, i can write again even though just approved comment and write my opinion. Okay, i’ve thinking about Razor and Luna. Those two hero were so familiar in pub game. I’m just curious, will they be there in league? I think league hero should have some AoE damage, survivability skill, ganking technique. Well, maybe razor can’t fit into that, but Luna can. Luna doesn’t have survivability skill but Razor has. Luna has eclipse which can cause a gap in the game ( No matter how confidence you are, I’m sure once Eclipse casted, you got Panic).

Okay i know it’s overkill for rexxar to have MoM, it’s better satanic with him, but sometimes i saw some of them use madness to grow attack speed for fast burst. Yeah, meepo own, i’ll add lothar again in guid since i’ve try it and better result with better technique to play makes him a fun hero.

Opinion About New Map (6.55, 6.55b)

•October 14, 2008 • Leave a Comment

Some changes in this map can wreck the game, as in 6.56 already out but i don’t try 6.55b for some stress test. But, in some fast play, i see that Admiral Proudmore is a little imbalance with her second and third skill. +60 damage? did yo serious with cleave every 4 seconds?a killer behind his funny ultimate (yes it’s a kinda strange that ship can sail the land, only happens in dotA LOL). Also third skill, after town portal casted and you already teleported back, then you go back to 5 seconds before. It’s like Anubseran ultimate but this can be casted to everyone, include yourself.

Windrunner also a kind of new hero that need to be buffed, he can trap enemy with first skill, wreck the battle with second skill (which is unique skill i think, good), the third skill is like degen aura + frost armor, the last skill is the most dangerous skill if she already got level 25. I tried him last night, and without any item, he can shot almost 10 arrow in 3 seconds. Terrain is kinda some bug too, which is fixed in 6.56. Thanks to  Icefrog he thinks fast.

Well, i think it’s just my opinion. I’ll try 6.56 today and give you a summary about it.

Dota 6.55 is Out, So many changes..

•October 8, 2008 • Leave a Comment

I have seen those changes a while and thinking about, the new hero strategy, the old hero with new strategy, the hero who will overtake the Best Line up for Sentinel & Scourge, The new ITEM, wow. Icefrog work very hard for this version. We should give him applause for his work. I will start take a bit further to Rikimaru since his Blink Strike skill works well with his Backstab. Sorry if i can’t post any story because I have an assignment that still can’t be done until today. Sigh. Maybe until Saturday i will start write Kardel Sharpeye VS Drow Ranger. Those two heroes is very popular and common in both pub and league. And i have a bit interest about tanker in nowadays. So, if i have a time i’ll write it. Just wait for it guys.

You know that there are something that you don’t think it will come. I got shocked by the time a message come to my messenger talking about dotA. It such a great achievement if my blog can reach outworld there. I’m so happy if you want to share it all with me in my messenger.

Talking about comment, Faceless Void has a chance to lose due to Troll Blind. Believe it or not, Blind is the most funny magic that i’ve seen. I like to see ‘miss’ word in their attack. Especially in Agility hero due their high AS. So, what can you do in your miss chance and Troll will never get missed?

So you get Battlefury for Mortred?in 1 vs 1, is there a need for Cleave Attack, Regen, and a little damage?Since you can’t make sure you can hit them all the time, +35 AoE will come in handy if both of you are low in health. Raidance also provide you some miss chance even though your blur with Overide it. No need to worry if your enemy know where you are. I think it’s just the same if you hit creep with Battlefury then all of them died in one second, they know you’re there. Blur now had been fixed, there’s no more Invisible now. So, still Battlefury?

After a week, now i can post something. But maybe i will off again for a couple of days to celebrate Islamic Days. Anyway, some comment about Meepo item, Kardel Sharpeye, and Lifesteal item. There is no rule that i should force you to love my item, and your choice is in your hand. It’s a common set item for Beastmaster with Dominator or Mask of Madness, Luna with Dominator and Meepo with Vladimir. Another things about Kardel, yes even though Kardel just shooting so much bullet, we need to play him carefully, or he will be feeder due to low hp. Thanks for XcN-RitteR. His meepo playing style awaken me that it’s time to play survival not farmer.

Comment About Riki, Harbinger, Animation Cancelling

•September 2, 2008 • Leave a Comment

Harbinger need a time to show that he is the king of intelligence hero. But don’t pick him if there are 2 or more intel hero in enemy team. Rikimaru need much much gold and you know, Gondar and Slardar also Silencer hero could breakhis invisibility. Every game that i play Rikimaru always finish with Cranium Basher, Yasha, Madness and Tread. I think it’s enough to kill some enemies with your backstab.

Animation Cancelling need some practice. Maybe i will describe about how to it by this lil guide. First, use hero that using orb walking like Viper, Enchantrees, etc. It’s better if you pick enchantrees because Impetus synergize well with animation cancelling. Try do this with your friend, let him run the same way with you. Let him run first, then follow him. After that throw first Impetus, then run again, throw Impetus again. If you score both of the Impetus not too far away, then you do a success animation cancelling.

Yes there are so many build that somebody think that rocks or this good, but i prefer getting mana drain since i want to get Guinsoo as soon as possible or other core item and prevent them to harass me by using their skill. Their only option is harass by atacking which is, you know, will b attacked back by creep. You can farm better in early game only since after that, your job desk is gank some enemy, stun, hex, kill, or support the battle. Some people get Impale and Hex. It’s waste of mana since Voodoo lvl 1 mana cost is ridiculous. The most important thing with lion is, try Impale the ground and predict maximum range and Don’t stun hexed enemy, you wasted your disable time.

In most cases, soloed lion almost kill her enemy in lvl 6 because finger of death has no animation, high cast range, and surely instant. LOL

Present Magnus And Spectre guide later. Hard Work :)

Dagon 5 is good in Lion, but somhow is bad. Lion need much mana to cast Impale, Voodoo, then Finger. Now you add more mana cost again. Siphon mana won’t be used in battle except it’s very needed. I suggest you pull your disable skill because you have impale, and voodoo which will be better than spent your gold to buy something more expensive than rapier.

It’s All About Having Fun

•August 10, 2008 • Leave a Comment

My notebook need to be repaired, so i can’t write much since there is only one computer desktop in my home. But, it doesn’t mean that i can’t do anything with this blog. I think i will write about Rikimaru, my favourite hero. One think about him, it should be fun killing when somebody can’t look at you :D

Well, if i have a time i will ask some of my friend join to write this blog, and after ten thousand hits, i wil start this blog in new domain.

About comment, so long i don’t play in GARENA, but i think my nickname is tyo07 or tyo06. Well’ i must reinstall Garena first :P

I’m sure after my notebook come again, well maybe in this week, i’ll continue my guide and write idea again. So my target in this week to finish guide to rikimaru. If some others want some guide, please tell me what guide do you want, and i’ll try to the best i can to make it, not COPIED it. All guide in here made by myself.  Even though i know not all of them tested in all cases, well, writing a guide is fun you know? :)

Answering Comment, A Confusing Time

•August 4, 2008 • Leave a Comment

I’m confuse about what should i do know. Need some more time to find an idea to make some guide. Anyway, i think stacking assault cuirass isn’t bad, but attack speed is not worth as much. it’s overated. When you miss some stun, then you’ll counter attacked and by the time you know attack speed can save you, it’s too late.

Facing Skeleton King in 1vs1 is a bad idea. Only some hero could win in that situation, for example Ursa Warrior. Troll, Mortred, Void, Magina also the key to bring down Skeleton King. Beware when he already got MoM and Hyperstone, it’s very hard to bring him down. Reincarnation is the skill that makes enemy thinking twice before use their skill to SK. Once SK wake up from the grave, then you don’t have any other finishing skill or worthy skill to use. Mana burned is the key to beat him, don’t use DPS damage like maledict, it’s no use. Maledict will lose it’s strong point when enemy got healed by any other item or effect such as lifesteal, tango, regeneration etc.

•July 28, 2008 • Leave a Comment

Almost a week i didn’t write anything because i’ve a test in this semester. Well, actually i want to post Mortred guide but after a while i need a time to think because i think Mortred isn’t a simple hero even though just whack whack and hope some crit chance.

Answering comment, for Lion, i would recommend to buy some tango and lot of ironwood. one circlet and two gauntlet + tango also a good choice. Lion doesn’t need mana regen at all because siphon mana. Lion already a caster with high range so if you’re careful with your move, i think tango is useless.

Morted can win somehow critical happen and backtrack doesn’t trigger. Remember 15% chance is high for such a thousand damage. Once it happen, then you die. But most cases Void will win, yeah, Warlord can win because of Blind. Even without rampage Troll also a scary hero. Only nice Timewalk and chronosphere that could beat Troll in 1 vs 1. I say there are many other item combinations, so there are so many item counter that can change the result. It all depends on the field.

Yeah meepo will own because desolator will rip off enemy armor. But luna with satanic won’t affected by that, four meepo will hit more than 1 time and luna will heal faster than you. So i suggest in that time you need lifesteal.

Kardel Sharpeye only need lifesteal, attack speed and damage. He doesn’t need armor reduction, armor bonus and waste attack speed like assault cuirass. There must be one hero bought that for you. So why we waste our money to buy the same item? Better get butterfly for damage and aspd, mkb surely for damage and cancelling channeling spell. Buriza is straightforward to increase damage. Eul should be bought when you play Assasinate type, but it’s long long way ago, when everyone underestimate tango and flask saphire. Hood of defiance, why do we need that item?Kardel really fragile in early game, so why don’t we bought them vanguard maybe? even though it’s delaying our core item, but no Hood is true. Magic resistance will needed if your enemy are nuker like lich. But i think you could manage them by being watch out from their magic.

Answering Comment About BattleFury In Void 1vs1

•July 7, 2008 • Leave a Comment

I don’t think he should have it in 1vs1 position. If 1 by 1 battle, all you need is evade chance, anti magic shield, bonus damage, and some tricky things. I’ve to say thousand times to my friend that in 1 by 1, it always never go to that way, why? because when you play those games, there are some tricky things, that you will see your enemy item changes several times. I’ve experienced that when using mortred with mkb, butterfly, linken sphere, bot, asssault cuirass, battle happen in 1 by 1, but the result is Mortred LOSE at that time. Why? because my enemy has powerful chicken, bought him dagon and guinsoo, even though i can win in the end because i sold linken sphere and get BKB as soon as possible, it’s the best experience that i have as i lived and play dota until now. Don’t take 1 vs 1 battle when you’re not sure what’s going on in the field later.

So, to prevent all magic except stun, we need BKB, not battlefury in void. Void will lose if we switch bkb to battlefury if troll can blind him. But in 5 vs 5 situation, if butterfly too far to reach, i’ll get battlefury as soon as possible. It gives hp and mana regen, bonus attack, and cleave attack. Good item and we can collect the item pieces by pieces.

Again, Answering Comment..

•July 7, 2008 • Leave a Comment

I know that it’s stupid to have BKB in one on one situation, but in my experience, Troll is the best hero when it comes to 1vs1 situation after Pandaren. What i fear from him is just Blind, not the stun duration which take 2 seconds last. So that’s why i suggest Manta Style or BKB in some hero.

When mortred touch enemy first and it’s critical, then it’s the end. I don’t need orb efect in one on one situation, coz life steal always in first priority. Mortred has already chance to evade 30% from butterfly + 28% from blur. I don’t think we need the same item to miss, we need to evade some magical effect. I forgot, is Sunder can go through bkb or not, but i think it can’t be. Personally i don’t like those hero, but i’ve faced so many situations where we need another build not just standard build. So that’s my suggestion. Thank you for your comment, i would have post another build next time that maybe, will fit in your eyes. :)

Dear All, Don’t Like It? Just Pass It Please.

•July 3, 2008 • Leave a Comment

For those who not like my guide, well, take it as a piece of cake but don’t judge me like “stupid build” blah blah. I think all of us have a freedom to show our opinion right? so that’s my opinion. If you don’t like it, just pass it. Well, somebody comment on me that meepo should buy dagger or lothar edge. I just wanna say, the key of meepo item is area effect and aura that can be used to pump out the damage that meepo did. Well, dager has no stats, why should we buy it? using that dagger isn’t easy as old times. Lothar edge seems good idea, but remember one thing, Gem. Even though you using lothar, i don’t think your enemy will be stupid enough to let lifesteal aura around them but there are no heroes can be seen with their eyes. They must be set their strategy to counter lothar meepo. Another bad things with lothar, you can do only 480 damage in area while 3 meepo can do twice of it. Assume there are no stuner so lothar is not needed. But if there are some stuners, don’t pick meepo, i say don’t pick meepo unless you’re surely know how to win. I just think the simple way, more aura, more meepo will be more effective. Carry hero always carry the team, mostly with aura or supporting another hero.

Sorry if this post bother you all. Anyway, i’m off about less than a week to have a middle test in this semester. Well, behind these bad information, i already prepare for two more guide, Lion and Vengeful Spirit. Just wait it.
