How did I miss thread??
So, how 'bout them techies being released after TI4?
Is this for real this time? I've heard it so many times now...
I've only recently started playing this ^^ I mostly like to play Juggernaut (one thing I learnt from TF2 is everyone has that one class they like in the beginning, usually Sniper in both games lol, Jug is mine).
This is so accurate though. I remember when I first started, there was always a Drow Ranger, Blood Seeker, Huskar, Riki... all those fun, silly, silly carries. Then someone picks a Spirit Breaker and it's like 'what the hell does that thing do?' (Speaking from experience, I used to never be able to beat SB and he was picked all the time for me. Obviously not the case now but still!) I started with Crystal Maiden and Lich though... Juggernaut is a great choice.
I can see someone not liking Dota if they started with Meepo or Invoker.
I do play this vs. bots, but the AI difficulties have a jump from passive (don't even put up a fight, no fun) to easy (that's intermediate bots in league) so um... yeah
Passive means they don't attack.
Easy is still pretty basic stuff, it's mostly to learn how to play that hero. If you're trying to learn how to USE the hero in battles and such, it's better to practice with medium bots. They'll go for the kill if they see one; they're a tad more aggressive but they always stay in a bunch. Hard bots will actually harass you in lane. They'll also deny their creeps so you lose money/experience. Sometimes they'll even take Roshan. Unfair and hard bots aren't much different, to be honest. They're just more aggressive but not by much.
The bots have their own personalities too. The Drow Ranger bot will constantly harass you in lane with the Frost Arrows while a bot like Vengeful Spirit is more passive. Sven bot will also use his stun to randomly stun you. It's weird. The Sand King and Earthshaker bot will always waste their ults. Literally just use it on air. Makes no sense. The Witch Doctor bot doesn't know how his abilitiy "Maledict" works and the Chaos Knight bot will randomly use his Reality Rift on you in lane for no reason. Etc., etc.
Source: I've played a lot of bot matches.
