So he does. Huh.

Every time I fight him he just explodes.

4 all random wins in a row today. Bizarre. Especially since each one got easier and easier as we went along. The final match was so easy that 2 of the enemy disconnected halfway though, but even when we offered to pause they didn't want to. So we continued casually pushing. Then another guy left. And another. So we thought they all surrendered (which would have been understandable considering they were doing so terrible). Then one guy came back. And another. And another. But the final guy left. So it was like, we spent 15 minutes actually playing and the last 15 just pushing into their base without a single drop of opposition.

Derp.

Edit: Lol... Troll's base agi is so low. Maybe that's why he's so squishy. HP of a agi hero, armour of a str hero. Worst of both worlds.

Edit edit: So much for Dotabuff's tantrum. Cyborgmatt put together a tool to track matches in 15 minutes and posted it on twitter.

180 points of attack speed for the whole team for basically half the game is a little bit op, yes.

Interesting game with umiman yesterday - was good to actually have a co-ordinated team for once.

Now imagine it with a well farmed Tiny or Sven.

Or Drow/PL

[Thexor]

Or SF/OD.

Well fed Silencer would also be terrifying.

I thought this game was free, but I seem to need some sort of invite?

* Dutchling activates Beggar Mode

Yesterday I finally discovered a good counter to Faceless Void.

Naga Siren.

All she has to do is sit around outside the team somewhere. Void jumps in. She ults. Waste Chronosphere, now Void is dead.

Of course, if she gets caught in it, it's completely done for... but you can generally stand far enough back and come in with the gigantic AOE on the song.

Pretty much everyone has ~5-6 invites lying around who has the game right now, so...

Yup, already got one.
Played it for five minutes and decided that was enough for this year >.<

Shoulda sold my invites when I had the chance!

Pyrion Flax explained the perfect counter of void pretty well: Don't let him freefarm.
If you REALLY want to counter him, pick brood, furion, lycan, chen and enigma. The game will be over before void is of any use.

Bwahahahaha!

Ranter and I were in a bunch of Pink vs Blue matches. The final one was dun dun dunn... our Spectres vs their Enigmas.

I thought we were screwed since they could deny the whole lane, but instead they did the opposite. They converted the whole lane and used it to super push our towers. We lost the first one almost immediately, but when they were pushing the second I somehow... I still have no clue how... managed to kill two of them. After that I started snowballing out of control, because one of the side effects of that super pushing was that we were getting so damn much gold and exp from the eidolons. By the time I was level 6, they were only level 3. Once I got my Vanguard I was literally unkillable with the dispersion killing everything around us.

My score for that match was 14 kills 0 deaths. Oh god it was hilarious. Completely not what I was expecting. Even when they triple black holed me they couldn't kill me. In fact they mostly ended up killing themselves with the dispersion damage.

Doublepost!

Some nice dudes created a great website for checking out all the in-game stats of all the heroes here: http://jankdota.com/herostats/#

It seems this list doesn't account for skills that give bonus stats though, so you should throw in Drow Ranger wherever appropriate.

I looked at some of the more pertinent information:

Tankiest heroes from levels 1 - 6:
1. Spirit Breaker (wtf?)
2. Ogre Magi
3. Ursa
4. Night Stalker

Tankiest heroes at level 25:
1. Centaur
2. Ogre Magi
3. Ursa
4. Night Stalker

Highest damage at level 1:
1. Treant Protector
2. Spirit Breaker (holy crap I need to be crazy aggressive at level 1 with this guy)
3. Tiny
4. Chaos Knight (the range between his min and max damage is massive though)

Highest damage at level 25:
1. Treant Protector (Wtf?)
2. Phantom Lancer
3. Centaur Warrunner
4. Pugna (Wat?)

Highest attack speed at level 25:
1. Phantom Lancer
2. Anti-mage
3. Riki
4. Juggernaut

Most legs:
1. Meepo
2. Broodmother
3. Sand King
4. Nyx Assassin

Special mention: Anti-mage has 1.9 legs.

Amusingly, Troll Warlord is squisher than Bane.
