[quote who="Milskidasith" reply="20" id="2260802"]Then they just snipe every 3.4 seconds. When you create rules like that, people just play to the edge of the rules. Also, lots of Erebii is nuts because of the fun involved in chain-AoE stunning. Also, does vampiric aura stack? If it does, that would be insane as well.[/quote] Imagine how many nightcrawlers there'd be if they all went minion builds. [e digicons]:')[/e]
Holding CTRL makes you only target Demigods. Holding ALT makes you move aggressively. Towers hurt, especially early game, try not to get into range of more than one at a time. Clicking the slot to the to the right of consumables opens the favor item menu. Once you choose a favor item you cannot change it for the entire match. Once you buy a favor item it is free to choose from then on. You earn favor by completing matches, online and offlin
[quote who="InfiniteVengeance" reply="16" id="2260715"] If the game was 1 on 1 perhaps that would be true. But it's not. Your counter to Demigod A means nothing to Demigods B and C who may have already gotten things to counter you. Team work and skill will still matter the most. "Your opponent" is not a single player, but many. That's where this line of reasoning breaks down. .[/quote] But why would you engage someone with th
Being stupid is completely different from being new, if you do something stupid once most people will advise you against it, if you do it multiple times I don't blame people for berating you.

[quote who="NeutralGood" reply="17" id="2259933"]You guys still haven't explained to me how at level 1 eb can slaughter rook. And for the most part im talking about toe to toe not running away.[/quote] Because every 7 seconds Erebus can heal, and Rook can't? Maybe he efficiently health stacked and the Rook didn't? The details you're giving us about the Rook are pretty vague.
Exploiter!
I kinda didn't think of this when I made my post, if they're released 1 at a time as soon as they're ready we're going to just be seeing games full of the 1 that was released. [e digicons]x_x[/e] So uh, maybe 2 at once.
While I agree that a lot of the things you listed are really useless/lacking compared to other items, I think some of them you haven't given enough use to/tried enough things with them. [quote] 2. Twig of Life - limited utility. its pretty easy to re-summon minions. the health recovery effect for them seems like its pretty poor for this reason. - this needs a bigger passive bonus to justify its price.

5$(would also willingly pay more than double this but you didn't list that) as soon as each individual Demigod is ready. What can I say, I'm impatient and the more money I pay the more they can spend on improving the game. 5$ isn't very much at all considering all the detail in the current Demigods, which I would assume would be in the new ones also. EDIT : We're talking about US $ right?
[quote who="StAcK3D_ActR" reply="6" id="2258838"] you can point out flaws in my post, you really are amazing! [/quote] I wasn't trying to do it in a mean/trollish way, I was showing you the stats and my opinions of why these abilities are much better than the ones Erebus has that you compared them to.
[quote who="Obscenitor" reply="6" id="2258782"] Actually anything that is percentage based scales pretty wellWhat is percentage based? Priest heals and Penitence?Towers are effected by armor, heck so are auto attacks. Auto's though increase all the time, towers stop at level 10Snipe, fireball, spikes, and every other damage ability stop gaining damage at their final rank too. I have no idea what angle you're trying to approach from here... In your logic stuns woul
[quote who="csebal" reply="11" id="2258759"] As for the custom game settings icon: i do find it a nice idea, although an even better one would be to list the non default game settings in chat when you join the game. Same way it is listed when the host changes something. This way everyone entering would notice instantly that the game settings are off, and they would also know how.[/quote] I don't think it'd all fit in the chat box? There's quite a lot of settings.</
I think the main trouble with Erebus is that if he watches his mana he can almost always bats out of combat and pop a HoL instantly, and because of his base move speed and the pretty big range on bats 2/3 he can usually stay away long enough for the full effect of the HoL to be felt. But with the supposed HoL nerf coming in 1.1 this probably won't be as much of an issue. At least this is from when I play an offensive bite Erebus, to survive most encounters that is all you've got
The amount the characters are played is based around how hard it is to use them effectively, Reg and UB are pretty easy to get the hang of and use effectively, whereas shielding and changing forms at the right time as QoT is much harder to do effectively. But that's just like, my opinion man. Also, people like Regulus as a character? I can't stand his voice clips or his attitude, he seems like a dick [e digicons]^_^'[/e]
[quote who="dgl-DalzK" reply="24" id="2217222"] swarm > bite > mist then come out and repeat. If he gets on low hp he can just stay in mist and wait till swarm comes back or help arrives.[/quote] That combo you listed is 2100 mana at level 10, to be "repeating" that you're gonna have to be letting him pop HoL between them (which is being addressed in 1.1 anyway), or he's going to have two slots taken up by helmets, which still only allows 2 uses of the
You and a friend could just sit in a lobby and keep changing your DG selections to ones who are counters to each other, because that is what the gameplay would essentially be, except with items. Your opponent does this, you do that to counter, but then he does this to counter then you do th- and so on. Also why do you all argue for seeing items but not skills? If you're taking away one element of strategy, why not take away the other as well? Oh wait because it was in

I think if these came features came out pretty soon it'd really help the game, especially if the friend-chat was improved as well. Managed to get off a 5vs5 with not too much lag last night as well, also had a very close 4vs4 against another team using voice chat, was very fun and challenging. [e digicons]:P[/e]
I save the level 9 point in a lot of my builds, mainly because a lot of useful skills get significantly better once you're 10.
Like the others, I don't want Global VOIP, except maybe at the end scoreboard. I don't want to be able to see my enemies mana, items, skills or citadel upgrades. I don't want to see "dota_map_v1" when a map editor is released.
Great post but a little thing to add on the first two points : First off I don't think 150 ms is any different from 250ms in this game if everyone has a good connection and PC, but that's from personal experience. Also often peoples pings take a while to settle (sometimes up to like 10 secs) so while it may say 400 it is probably going to go down. Secondly Game Settings is really buggy! It often displays the settings from your last game, so if they look familliar it's a good i
