Anyone in here play broodmother?  It's occurred to me that I haven't seen anyone but me play her for at least 50 games and that seems odd since she's excellent when you've got a jungler or a trilane.  Kind of interested in tips and tricks other people have on her, since I see so little of her and casters for pro-games spend almost no time watching her.

Does anyone remember how in Black and White you could smack or caress your creature?  I want that feature in the cosmetic screen.



You didn't have to play LoL for very long to grok that they had no idea how to program.

She has two main ways of playing her, I'd say, and which one you pick is determined on what your lane is going up against. I've had extreme success as a pushing spider master Brood in lanes where they have no AoE effects, so I tend to start with a Web at level 1, then max Spiderlings and alternate between Web and the passive orb when not getting the nuke. Had a few games where, as I mentioned, with no AoE on the enemy team, I pushed to the barracks in less than fifteen minutes. Grab a Ring of Basilius to start, build that into a Vladimirs and go to town on their towers while doing some fairly severely damaging nukes. This does much better early game regardless due to the 300 damage, spammable nuke at level 7, and a horde of 400 health minions with a slow poison effect of their own.

On the other hand, if they have lots of AoE, then it may be a better idea to go the pure carry version, where you max the passive/orb first, and levelling Webs as needed to have more mobility and regen in lane. She's a great mid lane because of webs and the short distance between the two towers, when using this build, as well as the fact that a 40% slow and decent attack damage advantage over the enemy makes you harass extremely well, at least until they (if ever) get wards or dust. Grab the nuke if you feel comfortable about your current amount of regeneration and speed from webs, otherwise just max and use them as a tunnel system for easy access to runes and gankable lanes.

With either build, she takes off once she hits 6, since you now have access to a huge damage boost and ridiculous amount of lifesteal that you can keep at an approximate 50% uptime at level 16. Get attack speed either way; Power Treads (Strength, since you're fairly squishy), possibly an early Hyperstone, and most definitely a Cranium Basher to abuse the fact that you will not only slow them, but keep them out of action fairly often. Black King Bar too, of course rushed early if you are the target of effects that cause you to be less effective. Vladimirs is nice regardless of the build you choose, mainly because of the innate lifesteal that brings you almost nearly to 100% once you hit your ultimate, but it may be overkill on the second one.

Edit: The DotA2 blog post got my hopes for for Meepo being added. Maybe after the tournaments?  :'(

I saw a guy go something like 43/3 as Ursa.  He invested his spare money in two divine rapiers, then tried to 1v5 the enemy team.  He lost, then we we lost about 5 minutes later.  Even a terrible Sniper can rip through your entire team in seconds with two divine rapiers.

Relevant?


Also, Jungle Tinker is awesome. Boots of travel by 10:30 at my best, usually at 12:00-13:00 mark. Late game tinker is really fun to play.

You can get one for two (Dota 2) keys off any trading site I think.

I think I should preface all my posts with some kind of Dota 2 comic. There's like a billion of them.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

I think almost my entire match history these past few days have been Lycan. Lycan Lycan Lycan.

Want to push? Lycan.

Want to kill everyone by yourself? Lycan.

Want to force teamfights by yourself? Lycan.

Want to win the game even when the rest of the team fails? Lycan.

He's really kinda bullshitty. I guess it's to my credit that I haven't had to fight Naga Siren yet. Hell, there was even one time where the enemy were so intent on counterjungling me right from the start that they picked Chen and Sven and camped my jungle from minute one. Basically trilane bot except their two members were dedicated to hunting me down. When I left to farm their jungle, they followed me. When I went to gank mid lane they followed me. However, I only died once and even then they lost both Chen and Sven doing it. Sure, they kept me down quite awhile... but they didn't realize that even though I was only level 3 when Doombringer was level 7 (I even successfully ganked that Doombringer as level 3 Lycan), they were both level 2. It didn't matter at all 15 minutes later as by then I was highest level in the team, killing everything, while they were still level 6.

So yeah. Lycan. He's kinda lame... but you'll probably win.

One of my favorite's  :P

Had a nice game as KotL went 11-5-11 I went top and lane with my buddy who was on sven he went like 28-8-10 are mid dazzle fed and wisp and specter DC at about 20 min but we kept keeping them back we lost at about 40-50 min mark I had Mek, Pipe, Shiva, Urn and BoT I think Sven had Power Treads, Armlet, Daedalus, Mask of Madness and BKB killed TA in like 2-3 hit with thous 1000 crits.

If Bloodseeker did not get fed we could of won 2v5 because Sven got so big and they were pretty bad, Morphling never used Morph and I don't now what TA and Ogre Magi were doing but they got 3 shotted by sven and Sand King could do nothing do to my Pipe and sexy Q.
