Recently I started playing Pugna and found him to be very interesting. I realized that with Black King Bar and Life Drain, he can suck up hit points as much as damage a carry would deal.

Any suggestions for a carry build for Pugna?

I have a friend that just insists that he knows everything about dota and if you don't listen to what he says then you are an idiot and don't know how to play, even though clearly that is not the case, it has been a common problem and a lot of my friends have started to hate each other and say how bad everyone else is and thats why we lost the game, even though everyone has been playing for a long time and has a pretty good feel for the game. The worst part is this particular person that has a grudge against me gossips and spreads rumors that make people question my ability to play to the point if I make one little mistake, even if we win, they dig at that mistake like lifestealer digging into an open wound :P.

I have tried to tell the person flat out to please stop doing that, but now the person just tells all my friends not to invite me when they play because of how bad I play. Luckly I have some friends that recognize that they are making false accusations, but it is still really a…

Dumb Team Picks

I played in two bad games last night where the team I was on got completely destroyed. In both cases it was due to either terrible hero picks, or a failure to understand how the game would likely play out. Both of these are due to a basic lack of strategic understanding.

Strategic understanding sounds like some big, complicated morass of stats tables and figurines being pushed round a map in a dusty war-room somewhere...it's really just about common sense!

Team 1:

The opposition had picked early and gone with:

Centaur Warrunner
Death Prophet
Zeus
Leshrac
Io

We already had a Nature's Prophet and myself as Beastmaster. It's pretty obvious from their line up that they're going to have to go for a hard push strat - they have no real carry and at least 2 heroes who excel at taking towers. My team promptly picked up Nyx Assassin, Spectre and Lich. The last two especially are horrific picks against a push lineup.

Imagine how different the game would have been if we had

Today, I played 3 games as carries and my team carried my *** to the finish line. I have carried fine before. It's like, I am getting worse. Anyone have any tips on how to not get so so stressed over a bad game? I played Chaos Knight and fed. It started with me trying to save our carry who was kept on initiating at horrible times. He was playing Huskar and thought he was immortal. I went 0/8/11 that game. I only died in team fights trying to save our carry. As the night went on it became more and more my fault. I couldn't shake the bad feeling, I got from one game. Does anyone else get this? If so how do you treat it?

After having played the mighty Omnibus in several games now, though my rating ist still around lvl 2 I got the feeling that Omni seems some how useless in early and midgame... Don't get me wrong... I'm warding like a hell and supporting how I can but my experience is that 99% of the players in early game have no clue what the hell they shall do and do not know who Omni is.

Yesterday I had a damn good game lasting over 45 minutes. However I was 2nd highest in level in my Team... got to lvl 24 which I never made before because simply games were over until that.

Picked to the bot lane with the Skorpion... same story as usual... every time retreating after bkb or heal, not gaining XP and not last hitting. Was also immune to my advices.
Two on top lane which couldnt make it better than the little Skorpion. Only the big water melon guy was useful. So I decided to support the water melon and from that we had a good dame.
About Omni I have the feeling that around lvl 9-10 he turns into the s…
