Thus, I invoke myself.

What? I didn't quite catch that

Isn't his name Carl? What an odd name for a sorcerer.

Techies is easily countered. You probably haven't played enough to know how. You could just buy Manta, or play a zoo hero. Anyone who buys Helm of the Overlord will troll the shit out of techies; You can clear all his mines with your ancient creep.

>>724204202
I'll be frank
I forget that item exists sometimes
I feel like a chunk of players don't really do micro heroes much

>>724204521
>I feel like a chunk of players don't really do micro heroes much

That's because micro aside, the heroes are hard to play. Have you ever played Lycan? It's basically impossible to kill before 6, unless you use your wolves and the enemy just dies to them because they disrespected you.
You're meant to rush helm of dom, which means no boots of speed. You're moving around slowly and don't have a disable. Low skill players don't have the patience needed for the hero. I like Lycan but he's tough to play.

I love Invoker so much bwos I spam him

Does anybody else remember the beyond the summit skit where they cosplayed as the characters? There was some hot chick playing Lina and I think bsj was Carl?

>>724204760
Who is your favourite Invoker player?

>>724204202
im the one who plays him

>>724205348
The one who plays what? Lycan or Techies? You should really be more clear.

>>724204714
>have you ever played lycan?
Y'know, now that I think on it, I don't think I have even in 1600 hours, what the fuck.
I always saw lycan as a retard hero since every game I had him as a teammate he would be gone forever and never help the team with anything.
And on the other hand the enemy lycan would always suddenly push 3 towers when we weren't looking.

>>724205294
I don't watch much pro stuff but I've seen a few bzm games, so probably him. I just spam turbo

>>724205997
>I just spam turbo
I only play turbo if I want to pass half the amount of time. Like, If I want to pass half an hour, I'll play Turbo. If I want to pass an hour, I'll play Ranked. That's how it works for me. If I want to pass an entire day, I just play a ton of Ranked. I managed to pass years doing that.

>I've seen a few bzm games, so probably him
I don't even play Invoker, so I have nothing to say about his Invoker play. I know Noone played Invoker during ESL Bangkok.

I was like, maybe I should learn Invoker, and then I learned Invoker and decided it was too much work to play. Like, the fact that cyclone lift changes duration as you level. That's so fucking sweaty and someone would have to spam Invoker to learn the timing.

>>724206169
There's not really much to the tornado timing, it doesn't particularly matter. There's only a few sweet spot levels, such as the 1.8s lift where you can sunstrike immediately as you hit the tornado and always get it off, other than that it's just a setup for meteor/icewall/counter initiate/secure kill/interrupt etc

>>724206327
>There's not really much to the tornado timing, it doesn't particularly matter.

I disagree. I learned Invoker first in Demo Hero, and you kind of need to time it well if you want to do something like tornado + EMP. If you time it badly, they could be in the air or just walk away.
Anyway, I don't play Invoker.

>>724206397
Like, assume I'm playing Invoker vs AM. If you do a shitty Tornado + EMP, he can just blink away and keep his mana. What about Invoker vs Puck? The timing is really important.

>>724205406
techies
what i like to do is throw on https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aS40K53JQIg and spend the next hour planting proximity mines everywhere

before the techies changes i used to tp straight to lane as soon as the game started with 6 mana pots and plant prox mines along the side shop. i would sit and autoattack the enemy hero with the pants on head retarded attack range that techies has. as my team would be spam pinging me asking why im not in teamfights, id tell them "im warding" and that the mines im planting in the enemy jungle have vision (i hardly ever buy any actual wards, mind you)

i got to ancient for the first time this week from spamming oracle

>>724206814
I play Oracle, but I'm not as high rank as you. I bet my Oracle is better, though. Do you know the combo to do high damage?

>>724206891
no i just spam heal my teammates and ks carries for gold

>>724203760 (OP)
I used to get hyped watching invoker compilation videos like 10 years ago but I can't remember the names of the vids sadly.

>>724207274
Okay, well, I can tell you how it works. You just need Level 1 Q and any level E. You cast E while channelling Q. The enemy won't be healed like they're meant to, because it gets dispelled by Q. Pretty neat, right? I learned that by watching Dukalis play Oracle.
You should learn to do that, because it'll help you in lane. You could just test it in Demo Hero.

>>724207289
oh wait, I think they were invoker's raging fury. no idea which # was the best though.

>>724206504
You just snap him while tornado is mid air so he can't jump out of EMP

>>724207437
Yeah, I did think about that while writing my post. I guess you do play Invoker. If you use Cold Snap, the timing doesn't have to be perfect.

>>724207383
thats neat thanks

i'm level 30 injoker and have no idea how to make quas facet work

>>724207589
I made a webm so you can see how it works. I learned this by watching Dukalis play. He's Pos 5 on my favourite team.

>>724203760 (OP)
YO INVOKER
FUCK SPELLS

>>724207786
thanks anon i see

>>724207885
WHAT?

>>724207786
couldnt you just do the same thing by starting with E and cancelling the channel with Q? the charged spell will still activate

>>724208143
>couldnt you just do the same thing by starting with E and cancelling the channel with Q?

No, you never start with E because if you start with Q, there's less time for the heal to work. The longer you hold Q, the longer the root is.

>>724208103
MAGIC SUCKS

>>724208204
who cares about root length though? if the purpose is burst damage, the Q hitting will still dispel the E before the first healing tick

I'm a new player, fought against medusa as ursa the other day and didn't understand her and got giga raped in lane until about 8~ minutes into the match when I two shot her and realized that her passive negates damage, taking mana instead and I had the knowledge to remember that there's an item in the game that lets you burn the enemies mana every time you attack them, once I got difussal blade the medusa was never a problem. Extremely satisfying.

idk if that's the absolute best answer for her but it felt good because I figured it out myself

>>724208241
YOU SUCK!

>>724208390
>who cares about root length though?

You should care, if you want to kill people, and you want to win. What if you're Pos 5 Oracle playing against QoP, because they did qop off lane or some shit. Do you not care about the root? It'll help your lane buddy get the kill.

>>724208394
It can be annoying if she gets a lot of farm because she likes to get butterfly for the evasion which forces you to waste another slot on monkey king bar when as an ursa you'd much rather be able to get aghs and blink first

>>724208543
Yep, this is a knower. People think haha diffusal ez dusa kill, but Medusa could rush bfly and then you have diffusal instead of mkb. Need to play a lot to know why diffusal might not be good.

>>724207786
The most popular guide for oracle points this combo out to you but it doesn't tell you that you can cast the E during the travel time of the Q

>>724204202
>just build a 5k gold item when you're 90min in to a losing match
lel

>>724209606
>just build a 5k gold item when you're 90min in to a losing match

What 5k gold item are you talking about? Helm of the Overlord is the first item you buy for Lycan.

>>724209654
If the NPCs are done with their stupid comments, I'll be on the catalogue setting up filters. Page 5 in 5 minutes. It's looking public toilet.

Buff Monkey King PLEASE.

>>724211391
Lmao. Eat shit. I'm glad he can't just slam and be at 100% hp (at low level) like he used to. Did you never get tower dived by an MK because he was so busted?

I scissor with knowledge!

>>724211550
He has no good facets and his innate is dogshit.

>>724203760 (OP)
THIS MAGIC IS SHITTY

>>724211717
I'm sorry to hear that, but I never pick MK, so I don't care. It's weird that you would cry about MK, though. I distinctly remember Yuma picking MK during the last Ti. He lost, but I don't think MK is unplayable. He was buffed by giving him Changing of the Guard.

>>724203760 (OP)
God I'm so stoked to make my Wizard game bros
Spellcasting is gonna be so fun, so tired of other games making spells feel like shit

What do you do in this situation?

High five!
*raises paw*

>>724211953
Put a ring on her finger.

Buff timbersaw
Not because he's dogshit (he's incredibly powerful), I just really like him

>>724211953
tell her i'm gay and to fuck off back to her gook toon

that is a nerf actually

>>724212283
Okay, then I hope they nerf him further so you can fucking lose if you pick him. It would be like some faggot saying
