I might make these intro jokes a permanent thing... but am I really that cruel?

Your mother's so fat even Demon can't throw her.

Why did Slark fall over?
Cause he was imbalanced.

Act XII: Taken by the Plague

The night was soothing, calm and cool, the sky perfectly clear. The waxing moon bathed Slom in pale light, and the stars sparkled amidst the velvet canopy. The highest spire of House Avernus was an astronomy, built by Lord Kayle d'Avernus two hundred and fifty years ago. It was here that Abaddon now stood, gazing longingly into the sky and thinking deep thoughts.

Now is the moment, he told himself. There had not been nearly as much preparation as he would have liked, but that could not be helped. It was now or never. Not only that, but he was still needed at the Ancient War. He had sworn to assist Arash in the endgame.

Yet it was not Arash he thought of most, but Lanaya. I have fallen for her, he realised suddenly. How he wasn't sure - they had all of nothing in common. He wa…

Hello Dotafire, this is Blubbles, writing for all you people who have nothing better to do than look at blogs about video games ( Like Me ) !

I just started this blog, and if you really want to know I WILL be talking about random **** that happens in Dota 2, that most likely you will not care about! But I'm doing it anyway!

This includes but is not limited to :

• Venting
• Update Opinions
• Which heroes I think are ****s
• Which heroes I think are great
• Strategy

To start of I will be talking about my journey to nontotalnoobyness.

It was a exciting moment, my first game was. I was giddy (yes, I used giddy) to play a game against real people. I thought I would be pretty good, I did the tutorial, I knew the basics, I would do well. I was very, very, utterly, life crushing, hellraisingly wrong.

It was textbook. I think I went 1 - 20 or something and my only kill was from a killsteal. To make matters worse, I was Witch Doctor and did not know what the **** a Courier was, so on top of noob r…

*******it.

Alright, so a few weeks ago there was the whole discussion about a fan-see newfangled meta for good ol' Anti-Mage, with Maelstrom instead of Battlefury. So I decided to start a blog on testing alternative metas for heroes.

Well those are the results.

Let me give you a brief play by play.

Me and Dazzle (My friend) go safelane. And for whatever reason, DK went mid and OD and Bounty Hunter went offlane.

Me and Dazzle started out strong, he died once early to Broodmother and Nyx but eh. Once he bought wards it was no longer a problem.

I was doing my job, farming, staying out of fights as Anti-Mage.

I got a 13 minute Maelstrom, and a 16 minute Vlad's. So clearly, the Maelstrom sped the farm up quite a bit. It wasn't the same as a Battlefury, but the effect was much earlier than if I had bought Battlefury, which probably would have ended up a 20 minute buy. Mjolnir with Vlad's felt about the same though.

The real issue was Kunk…

1.Juggernaut



"No one has ever seen the face hidden beneath the mask of Juggernaut. It is only speculation that he even has one. For defying a corrupt lord, he was exiled from the ancient Isle of Masks; a punishment that saved his life. The isle soon after vanished beneath the waves in a night of vengeful magic. He alone remains to carry on the Isle's long tradition of ritual and swordplay. The last practicioner of his art, Juggernaut's confidence and courage are t…

How many Russians does it take to raise a child?

Six - one to care for it, and five to feed it.

(My god that truly was terrible)

Act XI: Over the Edge

Lanaya woke gasping for air, head throbbing painfully. The shredding agony from her wound had subsided to a dull ache, and she noticed that someone had stitched the wound shut.

She was locked in a cell inside on of the buildings, who knew which one. Slowly, she looked around, trying to find anything that might be able to help here escape, but there was no such luck. She tried using her psychic abilities, but something was blocking her.

"I'm going to kill him," she snarled. He would burn. She wondered what the room would look like painted in Arash's blood, but figured that he wouldn't come in here at all to give her the opportunity to see.

Stupid, stupid! Why had she ever believed he had good intentions? No doubt he was scheming away, and had already forgotten her. Hatred rose in her as she inwardly cursed everything - her own fool…

So hi everyone, if you follow the other fire sites around then you probably have seen my name pop up a couple of times on Smitefire. Well, thanks to a friend, now I'm into Dota also! So here's a quick introduction so you guys and gals know more about me because I hope to remain an active member (although I'm still kinda noobish so I can't really take about balancing and combos and all that stuff yet :/)

Been playing LoL since Season 3

Been playing Smite since September 2013

Been playing Infinite Crisis since October 2014

I love playing the support tank role in IF and Smite and love playing ADC in LoL

My IGN is "TheCommunistCzar"

Well that was a shorter list than I thought it would be :/

Nice to meet you everyone :)
Also why does Dotafire have the privilege to have such a nice color formatting?

After 12 hours of writing just today. I am happy to announce that the full guide is going at a decent rate.

I am currently working on section 40, that is finishing the spells sections more of less. Next up is the Map and map general guidelines, such as lanes, objectives, buildings, pushing and defending, roshan, jungle and jungling, pulling and stacking, etc, etc.


Section 40 is about 1/3 of the whole guide done, as it is around 120 sections, maybe a little but more. And it is already longer than my guide to the Midlane.

So yea, just, remember this is still a thing to come in the future. I doubt it will be done in January, I also doubt it will be delayed until March, so it will just come when it has to come.
