They said they were giving more to the most active players.

As in MORE than TWO.

When were those handed out?

[biodude94566]

So I've got a friend who got into the CS:GO beta, has an invite for it. Would she be able to get a Dota 2 invite for it, she's been wanting to get in for a while.

Giving a DOTA 2 key to anyone who can buy me LA Noire & Alan Wake.

q: why does nobody buy halberd, arguably one of the best str items in the game

Most of the new items are unpopular, see veil of discord, tranquil boots and rod of atos.

I haven't gotten any more keys even though I have a decent amount of commendations :(.

This is really annoying. If anyone has time, just look over match id 8477752 and report our huskar. Boat leaves due to some issues and huskar decides to qq, take control of boat's lycan and repeatedly feed then leaves himself. Unpauses every pause we decide to take along with other trolls on the other team repeatedly unpausing. There needs to be a quicker way to report these idiots

Switched, giving DOTA 2 key for Alan Wake.
I'm open to some cheaper games too, but Alan Wake is really what I'm interested in. PM me if you're interested.

Pretty sure dota keys don't go higher than buds which are like 20 dollars. Disregard this if I'm wrong because I haven't been following the tf2 trading scene for a while. Don't think dota keys will go higher than 20 anyways since theres a lot now.

i thought alan wake for pc was 20 bucks??

nevermind it's 30. i guess it was 20 when it just released during the little sale thing they had going.

[adam1172]

Man, I wonder when are they adding Luna Moonfang into Dota 2, or why aren't they?

That has got to be one of the best nuker in the original dota.

Oh well. FO3 GotY is $20 right now and I was interested in that. Unsure if I'll get that though.

Well that was annoying. Played Lycan, asked or an initiator and a support. Got Razor, Nightstalker, Tiny, and Death Prophet.

Prophet refused to buy wards or courier. All game she was saying she shouldn't have to, because "Prophet is a tank, not a support." I said Dota has no tanks, and then the rest of the game, All Chat looked like this:

(etc.)

Prophet makes a really really bad support, she needs all the farm she can get to actually be viable lategame, especially since her ult is absolutely devastating.

I think she was technically right with her being a tank. Not in the conventional WoW sense, I've always defined "tank" in Dota as a hero that deals immense damage the longer they stay in play, and so gain the attention (aggro) of the enemy. Of course, these heroes would want to build HP and armor so they could survive longer. Heroes like Bristleback, Death Prophet, and Necrolyte make for great tanks.

So I wouldn't say that the Prophet was completely in the wrong; although I can't say the same about her attitude towards the situation.

Goddamn void does so much damage. I could kill slardar in one chronosphere from full health (he was the only one in there at the time, I know where my priorities are don't worry)

I know she's not a support. But she was the closest we had to one, and decided she needed to be a bitch and horde all her gold for a vanguard and pipe that she never used.

oh man just had a fantastic game as Witch Doctor again. very refreshing after the last three games which were absolute shit. first time I heard a ~13 year old on his mic in this game and it was a terrible experience that I had been able to avoid for a while. got a nice vid of an escape I did but I'm gonna need to get some video editing software before putting it on youtube.

How do you Counter Ursa? I've played 4 games with him and I've done really well and haven't lost one. People tell me he's a pubstomper and is really easy to take down if you know what you're doing

I'm going to keep posting this every time I hear someone ask this question.

Viper or Drow kick the shit out of Ursa. Omni too but it's harder to kite Ursa with Omni because you're dancing outside his melee range.
