Blink, poof, backstab, dead.

Or

Silence, curse, glaive, global silence, glaive, dead.

What's the reliable stun that Invoker has?

In my opinion unless you work your lineup around Sunstrikes, Invoker isn't that good anymore (most played Invoker here, around 3.3k hours logged in, not just talking out of my ass). And being subpar isn't fun to me.

Rubick if the enemy team has good abilities. I once dived with my team 3 towers while constantly stealing their speed buffs and then tossing them back one by one for my team to destroy.

>>196195876
That's just false. EMP/Nado got hit, but mostly in it's ease of use, not it's overall potential. Running 4-1-4 is still great, and alacrity buff is huge utility, particularly with Syllabear being such a common pick now. The biggest problem is that he can't lane against strong mids without Exort though, which is a big issue, and even then he gets shit on by bottle crow or any of the big mids.

Forges is an amazing midgame build but you get dumped on if they decide to push, gank and 5man before you get to level 10.

Pfft. How can anyone like this piece of unbalanced mediocre shit? It's complicated for the point of being needlessly complicated, looks horrible, and plays like garbage. Plus the HUD is amazingly shit.

>>196195876

It's amazing how you can be so experienced yet not know what you're saying.

Invoker still has wicked teamfight and utility, even if his base damage needs a serious buff

He would really be be too strong mid if his damage was buffed.

Right now you have to choose early on between being able to last hit or getting more regen. If he had more base damage he'd be unstoppable.

You don't "get" mid you take it. If someone else tries to take it from you refuse to leave, and thus ruin the game in the process to teach him you're not to be fucked with

Now I've only played ~180 games but I don't think I've ever seen an invoker ever do extraordinarily well

>>196201683

Invoker has trouble against orbwalkers/runewhoring spell spammers. If you autoattack him near the creepwave you get coldsnapped dead.

League of Legends is made by all the fucking shitters nobody liked who used to work on WC3 Dota. Makes sense people like Morello can't make an interesting game when all he can do is add nothing but power creep.

There's something that really pisses me off when i play with Dirges.
Can somebody tell me why i know so many people that actually max tomb or decay first before putting a measly point in soul rip?

Seriously it's fucking retarded, there's no excuse. Stop fucking doing it because "Muh nuke" (the best part about it is the STR steal and that's 4 at level 1 anyway) or "muh teamfight".
At level 2 you'll use it fully quite often even with just creeps and that 250hp healing WILL save a fucking life.

Stop fucking ignoring an amazing healing skill, what the fuck.

>>196208147
At least they didn't copypaste complete heroes from other DOTAs of the time unlike DOTA2.

inb4 you don't know shit about the game you play

Reasons why DotA is shit when compared to League of Legends:

>laning lasts forever because you never have to go back
>awful art style
>heroes have too many passive abilities
>focus on RNG over player skill
>input delay
>Valve never holds tournaments because the game isn't competitive
>no summoner spells
>shit voice acting (memes and corny jokes)
>only a handful of heroes can jungle and they are limited to that
>retarded tower aggro rules
>no teleporting to wards
>passive laning (focus on denying instead of zoning/harassment)
>random powerups can shift the game on a whim
>gold lost on death (any competative player will tell you about "the slippery slope" and how it harms games)
>put into low priority pool for bullshit reasons
>$50 reskins
>not competitive
>you can get put into lowpriority for using an ingame feature (drawing on map)
>convoluted unit control
>unbalanced map
>retarded turn rates
>no brush
>teleports do not break when the user takes damage
>you can be banned for backdooring

>>196207995
skill it when u need the regen. like laning against kunkka. otherwise focus on nukes.

idk why people have static builds in this game.

>>196208115

This statement contradicts itself. Stopped reading right here.

>>196208376
Has to zoom out of the DOTA model even though he's cherrypicking. Damn those must be some ugly ass models.

dota2 is to MOBAs as to Call of Duty is to first person shooters.

Is the game bad? No.
Is it made to market to the largest market (kids, poor people, idiots, and casuals)? Yes.

Oh man, that civil discussion we were having? Fucking hated that. Glad this thread is now shitposting and strawman comics.

It's funny seeing LoLfags complain about turnrates when LoL needs them the most if anything. The abundance of "skill shots" which travel so fast they may as well be hit scan and have the width of an entire lane is just plain laughable.

So I just downloaded Dota2. How many hours of frustration am I in for before the fun begins?

>>196208631
Gee I wonder why. Maybe ask DOTA fans why they always shitpost general ASSFAGGOTS threads and you'll hear them complain about how bad everyone else but they themselves are.

Don't listen to this guy. This is from a mindset of someone who knows how to play already. If you already know how to do something, the learning process you remember seems much easier. It's not.

>>196208914
Carries usually only get farmed in low level shit tier games that last for fifty minutes. In high level and above the games the game ends at 30 where heroes such as Juggernaut reign supreme, and he's anything but a hyper carry.

The person who posted that has no fucking clue what he's saying.

>>196208914
The irony.

>>196208836

The fun doesn't begin until you have friends to play it with, and even then I'd put about 50-100 of time by to deal with initial rage at learning things.

This game man, it's been a while since any online game made me angry at people I know. Now I'm back to minor disappointment.

so many bullshit i dont even want answer.

>>196208758
it is kind of sad.

zero turnrate makes ranged heroes able to kite incredibly well.

in order to not get kited nearly every melee hero needs a dash or ranged slow.

pretty poor design decision. and at this point its so ingrained into the game.

>>196209058
dodge, dude you spam this shit till you hit with no remorse at all

>>196209013
I don't think you know what a skill shot is. It's a projectile that doesn't lock on and has to be aimed accordingly.

>>196209058
Actually in our game we can, because they're not fucking huge and actually take some "skill" to land.

>>196209097
