Dota 2 Central!

So, while perusing all of the topics for video games, etc, I couldn't help but notice the distinct lack of a topic for my favorite game of all time to play: Dota 2! So, hopefully, this can be the place where you share funny stories, favorite moments, ideas, steam profiles for matches, and anything Dota 2 related! Stay awesome, fellow Dota 2 players.

There used to be a Dota thread. Must've died and fall behind some pages.

Yeah, I figured that there used to be one, but I looked back quite a number of pages in the forums and couldn't find it, so it either a) didn't exist or b) needed to be moved back up in the pages so people could access it.

I don't especially like vanilla dota anymore. The games just take too long to play, and sometimes its annoying when you've lost but the enemy team won't end it. When I play in house with my gaming group we tend to just call some games, and go onto other things. Now Overthrow, I can get behind that. Quick leveling, quick money, lots of fun fast fights.

I think the sandbox mod was the best thing Valve could have done. It feels like it's siphoned away SCII arcade players though. If I get on there it can be hard to fine people to fill games now.

Yeah, I think it was a great decision as well. While I personally still enjoy the main mode primarily, I do think that it was a smart choice. Dota has always been big on community contribution, and they really opened it up with the Reborn custom games.

While I'm online, what are your top three favorite heroes to play? Mine would have to be Spectre, Enigma, and actually Terrorblade (WHEN the situation is good for him. I ain't touching a game with leshrac or QOP in it with a ten foot pole)

Witch doctor... because cask + ulti is always a fun show.

Silencer... In overthrow I build him with Rod of Atos(cripple), and an orchid malevolence (5 sec silence + %30 damage). With that build I can mow peeps down with the true damage.

Ursa... Build a shadow's edge(Gives Invisibility), and wreck people before they realize you're there. Pairs well if you have a partner that can slow. Get on top of them, and get your opening off. Then your partner slows, and one of you gets an easy kill.

There's a master list of video game threads stickied at the top of the section. There's also a search function on the forum.

This was only back 8 pages.

Defense of the Ancients 2

I've reported this thread so it can be merged.

My apologies. Prior to creating this topic, I had gone to the master list of video games and tried the Dota 2 link, but it failed to lead me to the correct topic. It simply stated that the content was not found, so I assumed that the previous thread had been forgotten or removed (for some reason). Thanks for finding that and updating me on the matter!

Some time ago a change was made to the site which changed the format for urls, so there's a lot of broken links on the forum, but the threads/posts they link to do exist, just hard to find.
