I will also put in that if you ignore the Rook that isn't smart. Constantly harassing him is a better idea. Never underestimate him though if hes a decent player, early game the Rook can get slapped down hard, I died 6 times in like the first 10 minutes then came back to win the game with my ally with 5 kills and still only 6 deaths, two of those kills at near the same time since my enemies thought i was still weaksauce and let me rock roll/hammer slam them.
OrexxerO
I always thought of doing this for lols but I rather win games. [e digicons]:grin:[/e]
I hardely ever leave games. Even in a 2 vs 1 game of Dominate where I know I am most likely going to lose. Today however I left a few games, after I knew I was completely dead. But I usually stick it out....today however I was not in a good mood to sart and dying constantly was not my idea of fun so I decided to ease the pain on myself and leave.

Humm, Trav, the only problm is most people are having problems with the disconnect crap. Since the connections are still not the most stable things.
[quote] ...Wasn't my fault I held the artifact shop for the entire game...[/quote] Yeah that was a mistake on my part.
I think maybe they should think of actually giving Assassins "assassin" only items since yeah Generals seem to get their own....I mean minions help a Sedna tons, not only does she have heal, she can have heal minions.....yeah.
Banlist would only really work on custom games, which i don't even play, and haven't played, and don't intend to play as I hate some hosts leet attitudes. On top of that, I rage quit sometimes because yeah I don't want the abuse to continue (thinks of two games ago with a enemy sedna killing 14 times with no chance of defeating her ever) if a game where you are getitng gang raped and you really have NO FRICKEN chance to win, i rather leave then just sit around and let them rape me
Priests are ok to get I think, Angels however, and Cats/Giants too early can be just food though but I usually find that priests help out to help push a enemy base. Its a case by case basis though depending on how any such match goes though.

Impressive win! Me and a guy had a similar victory, its always fun to be able to recover and push back and actually win! We beat a team in Dominate on Prison 10000 points to like 9500 [e digicons]^_^[/e]
Erebus and UB on Crucible, Rook has nowhere to go or hide. Needless to say I lost two of those matchups >_ ANd yeah, Oak and Rook together is a nasty combo Guild.
Im just able to hit the escape button to skip it...ever since I installed it before any of the patches.
Yeah End Game is pretty bad for a Rook sometimes, especially vs a late game UB player or a demi of similar agressive playing. Best thing I do is try not to die early game giving them gold for upgrades or items early on then start being more agressive and trying to get kills/push myself mid game and hope it doesn't grind into a lategame fiasco. (glares at guild)
If you can get Giants fast enough before the enemy DG's are too buff they can do wonders on the enemy bases defences and overwhelm them. But they aren't a "WE WON" reinforcement by any means. A guy on Crucible I played against used up all his gold to fast-tech to Giants, I was kinda like, Uh Oh but we weren't out of it yet. We ended up winning...we got Giants of our own a bit later and ran into their base and finally beat their citadel. And the same guy who got them
If your a competent Rook player and can use Hammer Slam and Bolder Roll effectively you can make the UB have a very hard if not impossible time killing you. Mid-game if you can kill the UB over and over and refuse him buying items then he will get much weaker as the game progresses as you get more powerful. IF you let the UB kill you and farm gold though, lategame the UB is very, very hard if not impossible to defeat.
Most games minus a rage quit usually do last for at LEAST 15 minutes.
If you really get down the Bolder Roll and Hammer Slam together it can be very devastating, but you really gotta time it perfectly or the enemy WILL probably get out of the way in time.
I think the first gold upgrade is always a good investment, doesn't mean a AUTO win in the game of course. But in Fortress I think that is the most important and coupled with that the building Health Regen to make sure your defenses and fortresses can't be wittled down over the course of the game.
[quote] Are there a lot of gay people playing DOTA? And do they all talk crap?[/quote] Not all of course, but yes there is a huge elitest mentality on Dota that is rather rediculous.
It wasn't really considered a "exploit" on Dota but it was severly frowned upon.
Beat two Erebus players today, we were both Rooks vs them. We won because I just decided not to try to win against Erebus in outright Combat but I would kill all his minions with hammer slam and hurt him. Then after he resummoned some and came to try and finish me off I would tele out. I was using the Amulet of Transportation favor item, worked wonders cus I didn't have to have any tele scrolls to waste money on.
The key to beating the UB I have found is to outkill him and just destroy him as much as possible mid-game once you can get your best damage skills up (and as usual for me, this is regarding Rook mostly). I usually will die to a UB with spit beginning game before I can stack some armor and health and then upgrade my hammer slam to a good damage level. Beforehand, I get my butt handed to me by UB, but I do NOT think he is over powered, he is quite weak on the health but
As GuildForStrangler if he shows up in this thread. He beat me, but I still did very well without any towers at all.
Guys, think of Rook without towers in his builds for once. You can push faster and more agressively without them sometimes. I have been chewing into enemy bases with just structural transfer and hammer slam lately and it also works for taking out enemy DG's that DO try to come impede your progress.
