    hey stim, a buddy and I were thinking about playing some dota, sorta as a joke, but I'll be sure to read through your posts when I get the chance
    it'll probably help me not die over and over to bots at least.

    see now that someone actually explains what i'm supposed to be doing at xx:52 instead of just saying "go stack" i actually understand

    and there is no way in hell i was going to intuitively know to do that, @TheLawinator, how the heck was i supposed to know that

    We told you hit the man at 52 and run away!

    Duuuuudes I tried Nyx Assassin and I love that bug

    Is he good? Am I allowed to play him? Carry, right? Or no?
    i am woefully ignorant about this game

    He functions well as a ganker, with dagon he can pretty much 100->0 combo most supports.
    Get a pick off and hope your team can capitalize on it.

    Spiked carapace is also amazing and you can do some really nasty things to people who drop spells into you at the wrong time.

    4-1-1-1 by 7 and then max either burn or carapace depending on what you feel will be best for the current game.

    Thanks very much. I scraped enough sense together to max the ranged stun first, but I certainly didn't know what to max after.

    Since you clearly know what's up, speaking about the role of ganker for a second: if I'm going to do that, where should I be? "Supporting" in safelane until I get levels?

    basically what stimtokolos said hes real dirty and a shitlord for the enemy team to deal with

    his spiked carapace used to reflect the damage of one attack or spell but now it does one from each hero... fucking shit that big ol' armored bug

    first time I used carapace I laughing like a comic book villain

    if the grinch played dota he would play Nyx and do that nasty grin every time he got a stun with it

    So, is Teemo still a threat? I haven't played this game for, like, a year.

    Teemo has historically been underpowered. Earlier this year Riot found out that there was a bug that made attack speed not increase his damage as much as it should have. On top of that there was a recent overhaul of masteries and items that have increased his damage output phenomenally. This means that Teemo not only excels at split-pushing, map control, global suppression, but is also now an incredible teamfighter and damage-dealer.

    Riot has confirmed that nerfs are on the way.

    I should play some more dotes, I completely missed Diretide and I do enjoy playing it.

    ALSO the damage on his E was buffed, beyond how it was buffed through the attack speed fix.

    dotes acquired! thanks dog

  • unintentionalunintentional smelly Registered User regular
    There was a stretch where teemo was super popular right before they changed wriggles lantern so that you do not life steal off the huge bonus damage

    Also Lux is popular as a mid right now because of Froggen

    A popular pro player played Lux with great success in a tournament recently so it looks to me like she is in a pretty good position, but Lux has always been very hard to excel at. I don't play Lux but I feel like the new items have been good to her. Liandry's Torment and Athene's Unholy Grail combined make her really good at skirmishing and wearing enemies down from afar. Lich Bane and Void Staff can also make you much more of a bursty assassin. I would also argue that she is a better support now than she was before the new items; take a Morellonomicon and either Miakel's Crucible if you need to be defensive or Twin Shadows/Shard of True Ice if your team is getting aggressive.

    Although take everything I say with a grain of salt because I barely ever play this game and when I do all I play is Co-op so I have no practical experience with these items.

  • unintentionalunintentional smelly Registered User regular
    i don't think liandry's makes sense on her, just go like sorc shoes, grail OR double doran's ring, death cap, void staff

    Yep, but also a double feature. Not only do you get into the poor decisions show, but you usually get to see the "My Team Blamed Their Own Stupidity Entirely On Me" show ABSOLUTELY FREE!!

    I meant on the other team. Black Cleaver, Muramana, and Iceborn Gauntlet is god mode for him. I don't see how any melee can stand up to him top, and I even shut one out with Sivir bot, but the game dragged on long enough that he got his items and he became an unkillable menace, we lost a friggin 5v4 because of him.

    Rammus is so much fun, I think once they fix penetration making armor completely irrelevant he'll be significantly better than in S2.
