That would work late game, but since she's such a pubstar hero she tends to wreck most people's shit at the early levels. Thats why a lvl 3-4 orb of venom is so good.

A dota 2 thread? AWW SHIT.



Also, SD/slithreen guard dual-lane eats through anything.

disruption > soul catcher > slithereen guard goes in > crush > amplify damage > right click awaaay.

So has anyone but me experienced the glorious bullshit that is a Kunka Disruptor lane? That combination is so broken it's not even funny, lol

Thats my bad. I thought it sounded weird and was lazy so I just checked the wiki. But I checked about 10 different places and some people say it this way and the other way. But checked it on playdota so its good. Someone should change the wiki. I was just being lazy and threw it up there.

When looking around online it looks like some are saying short is the "suicide" lane and long is the "safe" lane. So thats where all the confusion is... probably. It has been a long time since I have "read" the rules so over the years I probably remembered it wrong.

um no. ur an idiot. wards dont shut her down 100% rofl.

in a suicide lane you should be back the fuck up regardless of invis or not, so wards don't really make any difference. Brood is best solo laner because she can farm afar with her first skill, control pulls and jungle with her summons. Her webs give her vision of ganks from the forest, extra regen and movement speed buff to make killing her slightly harder. Not to mention those support/s in your lane have got to rotate sometime and brood can put tremendous pressure on towers when that happens. Doesn't need a lot of items to or farm to impact or cause a dramatic effect on the game. WR on the other hand has an escape and a powershot to farm the lane which she can't even use because it'll push the lane and make her miss out on xp. Whoop dee hoo. In saying that you need to have a specific team if you're going to run a brood, WR on the other hand can run in any lineup and that's why she's chosen over brood as the suicide laner in most occasions. Not because she's better but because she fits in the teams lineup better than brood.

I think you should shut the fuck up tbh, because you're obviously a noob who doesn't know anything. Do you see pro teams banning WR over Brood? I think not. And i don't want to hear so much arrogance from a guy who uses red text to try to make people notice him because he's got an inferiority complex and self esteem issues irl.

Lol, what. If you don't think brood is the best suicide solo laner than i really don't think you know what you're talking about.

BM is the best solo suicide laner

But if you really want to know why she's not a carry, give her 7,000 gold and give an actual carry 7,000 gold and see who wins the fight. 10 times out of 10, Windrunner will lose that fight.

Just for those whom haven't seen it already.


What do you guys think? I think I'm gonna buy her on release day.


EDIT: Also, DAT ULT.

[color=#9400D3]So Broodmother is a solo hero... I should have noticed that, I was dominating mid in a previous game... Thank you for these great tips, And I will try to add you to my steam account soon. [/color]

[color=#9400D3]I see, This makes a lot of seance now. It will take me a bit of a while to get used to the items in the game, And a longer while to find a great build for Broodmother. Thank you! [/color]

I appreciate the information that you're giving us, but I have to wonder why you're insistent on being so rude about it. Wouldn't it be easier to at least feign politeness and have people respect you for the knowledge you clearly want to show off?

inb4 fuck you I don't need respect I do what I want

Actually AM isn't picked because of play style more than anything else. Chinese SEA team still use/ban AM a lot. You don't see AM picked nowadays because you only get to see EU/NA teams play and their play style usually instigates to having no carry at all.

He's still the best carry in the game, exception maybe morphling.

There are imbalances in EVERY GAME, unless the game is extremely simplistic (eg: rock paper scissors), then it's only to be expected.

The fact that AM was OP is exactly why the game is imbalanced. In competitive play, there was almost no way to shut down am. Why do you think he was banned 1st in every competitive match?

If dota 2 was perfectly balanced, then it would logically mean that any hero would have the same amount of value as any others, and obviously that's not the case. Face it, any moba with a large cast is designed to have some levels of imbalance.

"wut r heroes u mean champs ?"

Also, on the MOBA vs aRTS thing, if you try pronouncing MOBA phonetically it sounds like "moh-buh". If you try pronouncing aRTS phonetically it's just arts. But given the context of the acronym and basic English grammar, if you say "Dota2 is an arts" someone's going to think you need a repeat course of first grade English. You could always just speak out the letters of the acronym, but in that case, it's much quicker to say "moh-buh" than "ay are tee ess." It comes down to personal preference, I guess.



They got so far because there were no modern replacements for DotA following a f2p model at the time. Take that and combine it with the simplified gameplay, and it became an internet sensation. It broke down the barriers to entry that DotA had, and was easier and less expensive to play than Heroes of Newerth. I like League of Legends. I never played DotA because the community was elitist and would ban you on sight if you were caught DLing a map. Combine that with the game's difficulty-cliff and lack of matchmaking system and you had something that was completely unfriendly to new players. League got me into MOBA games, and when the opportunity to play Dota2 arrived, I gladly accepted the challenge--and I'm glad I did. Without League I would not be playing Dota2. They're two entirely different games that appeal to similar demographics, but for different reasons. I have no complaints about League as a concept; all my complaints about League are really just complaints about Riot, because FUCK Riot. Those fuckers couldn't pour piss out of a boot if the instructions were printed on the heel.

Well that's the point, isn't it? Coming up with that single, short sentence comes up as rather arrogant if not properly explained.

It's like saying "I shat in my pants", but not explaining because you have a digestive system that is, at the point of time, dysfunctional because your kidneys are broken and will stay broken until your appointed operation to replace said kidneys...

Just for the sake of argument.
