Amumu

I have been playing Amumu lately. I kinda like him, but I need to try more tanks before i find my mian tank. I think of him more as an initiating tank that gets in the battle via bandage toss. I really like his ult though. I find its really game changing

Tanks in LoL

Im starting to try out some tank characters in League Of Legends. My favorite so far is Mordikieser (or something like that). I like him because he has passive armor and he can do a lot of damage too. Some other tanks ive tried are Ramus and Cho'gath. I think tanks are really important In LoL whereas they are not too important in dota. I think this is so because, in dota, when you gain agility, you gain armor and attack speed. But in LoL armor is gained from items, so you cant be a tank unless you buy certain items. I recommended trying out a tank if you like to be in the middle off battles and not be afraid to take a lot of damage.

Over 9000

I don't think its a coincident that it says, over 9000!

A little bit of LoL

My favorite heroes in League of Leagends so far are Renekton and Pantheon. Pantheon is kinda like a spartan from 300 and Renekton is a big crocodile thing, kinda reminds me of the crocodile from spiderman. Both are melee heroes that play the dps role. I like Renecton because he has fury instead of mana and the more fury he has, his spells have an increased effect. I like Pantheon because he can spam his Javelin and has a good stun that gets him into combat. Right now it seems that Pantheon is kinda weak though so i dont know if i will continue playing him. Im still learning how to play different characters and learning about all the heroes in the game, hopefully i will know them all soon.

Haven't got to play dota for a while.

Since the new Dota map came out, i havnt got to play much latetely. Ive actually been playing LoL and Gears 3 beta (which has to be at least 4x better than gears 2 because there is no lag.) Im sure my friends and i will get back into dota in a bit, we cant keep away from our passion for long.

New Dota Version.

A new Dota version came out the other day. Im glad it did because not only can people not maphack anymore, it was a major rework. A lot of heros have been changed and reworked. A new int hero named Rubik has also been added to the game. You can find all the changes at  http://www.playdota.com/changelogs/6.72

League Of Legends

Since im tired of being killed by map hackers on Garena, im playing more LoL lately. My favorite Character so far is Sivir. Im having more fun because people rarely quit out now because of the penalties. Also im not good enough yet to make the opposite team quit out every game. Im lvl 10 now and almost lvl 11. Anyone else play?

What if DotA was real life?

Sometimes I wonder what it would be like if i was my character in dota and I had to go through all the work they did. Think of it this way. You are just a small Crystal Maiden and all of a sudden a giant meat hook comes flying out of no where and pierces right through your body and pulls you in to the forest where some huge abomination is. You can a spell on him but he doesn't care, his skin starts melting on you and he starts devouring your flesh to regain energy. The entire time you are just horrified.

That is just a little example of my thoughts of a Real life dota situation.

What is your favorite Item?

My favorite Item in dota would have to be the ring of basilus. Its made up of a sobi mask and a ring of protection. It can be bought at the start of a game if pick a character and leaves you with 103 gold to either buy something to heal or to restore mana too. The ring gives you and aoe mana regeneration and defence. I find it really usefull because i find that i like to cast spells early game to get early kills.

What is your favorite item and why?

Salve or tangoes?

Salves and tangoes are both items that give you health over a period of time, but which one is better?
A salve cost 100 gold and gives a bunch of health in a short amount of time, but if attacked, it is dispelled, a stack of 3 tangoes cost 90 gold and heals about 100 life over a longer period, but doesnt dispell when being attaked. The two are both good but depending on how you play one could be better than the other. In simplest form, if you plan on getting early game kills, go for a salve so you can quickly heal and attack again if you dont kill after the first attack. And if you plan on just staying in the lane, get tangoes to give you just enough health to stay in the lane without being killed in one spell.

Silencer

I think Silencer is a really good hero that people underestimate. I am trying to become really good at silencer so i can change the stereotype that he is bad. My build for him will be a sheep stick, eules and gynzo. I really like the fact that he can steal others Int just by being within 900 range from where they die. Hopefully i will be able to succeed and i will tell you how it goes.

Map Hacks on Dota.

Its come to my attention that there is a new Maphack that works on Dota. It makes it very annoying to play, so im going to wait for a new patch. If you get ganked while foresting, you know whats gwan.

If anyone here plays league of Legends, and has a Facebook account, you can get a free character by liking the league of legends page on Facebook. I forget what character it is, but its free so why not.

Garena

If you don't want to play on battle net for Warcraft 3 or you just lost your cd key to go online, you can download Garena. Garena Allows you to play with others as if you were online, but instead you go to local area network instead of battle net. Its like world wide lan. You can gain levels by playing games in Garena. It also isnt limited to just Warcraft 3. You can play a whole bunch of games through Garena like, Counter strike Source, Cs 1.6, Left for dead 1 and 2, Call of duty, ect... I recommended checking it out.

The Iron wood branch

The Iron wood branch is such a usefull item. So cheap yet half the effect of a circlet. You know those times you say, Oh man only if i had 19 more health! Well next time grab an iron wood branch and it can save you! Hehe, or if your good and can farm, just buy a heart.

Ursa tips.

I am really good at using ursa warrior and id like to give you all a tip that is a must while playing. When playing ursa the first items you must always get is a ring of Basilus (Spelt something like that: sobi mask and ring of protection) and after that you go to make a vlads for life steal. The reason for this is, by the time you are lvl 7, you should atleast have the vlads made. It is possible for ursa to kill roshan at lvl 7 with only a vlads. The spells you will need to have is, 4 into the one that makes you do more damage with each attack, 2 into the faster attacks and 1 into your ultimate. If you do it right, it is an easy kill on rosh early in the game.

Another tip. Even though Ursa is agility, build him for strength. This will make you do more damage due to your ultimate, and also makes you more tank.

What is the most Overpowered Hero?

I was wondering what hero you guys think is the most overpowered at either the start or end of the match. I would argue that Barathram and Mortred are both the most un-killable heroes late game.

Any one know anything about DotA 2?

I was wondering if anyone has an information about the release date for dota 2, or even your thoughts on it.

Lycan vs Balanar

Lycan and Balanar Are two of my favorite Strength heroes in Dota. Both Heroes are built for chasing the enemy singling them out and killing them, or even take on a few at a time.
  
    Balanar is the vampire type. He is a strong hero and has a very good set of spells, Void (slow dps), Hunter in the night (passive Increase MS and AS at night), Crippling fear ( Silences target and causes them to miss attacks), and His ultimate ( i forget the name) witch makes it night time for a certain period of time at no mana cost. When it is nighttime Balanar is a very tough  opponent to defeat if played well. He can chase his enemy with his already fast movment speed, slow them and silence them too. A tip to anyone who tries him out, try to save his ultimate for nighttime because you dont want to make the day longer, but as soon as night hits, spam his ultimate as soon as its off cooldown to make the night last longer. This works well because there is no mana cost.

    Lycan is the werewolf type. Lycan is able to summon two wolves that help him kill enemies. He has a passive spell that increases movment speed to both himself and any minions under his control (wolves, even the courier), he has a spell called Howl witch increases all friendly units attack damage, and his ultimate which turns him into a werewolf. While shape shifted, he has max movement speed at all times (ie. immune to slows and even when voodooed he can still run at max speed) he also gains life and has the ability to make critical strikes.

    Both Heroes are very strong and can do a lot of damage. Although i think Lycan has the slight advantage, If the player playing Balanar is smart, Balanar can win due to having a longer period of time at high attack and movment speeds.

   Some good items for both characters are a battle fury, a Cranium Basher, and a Heart.

Overall both are very good picks and have a high threat against the enemy.
