            Stacking is for retards, very bad valve no introduce the solo matchmaking that they introduced :@:@:@

            BTETW

              @ mapzor there is a solo match making now. it takes about 10 minute to find a game. and its easier.

                      I noticed you play Outworld a lot lately - he is a carry, not a walking ult.
                      Don't build refresher or scepter.

                      If you are getting hit hard by physical damage, get a ghost scepter and spam your orb ("Q") manually.

                      Try building:
                      Power Treads > Force Staff > Scythe > Skadi as your core

                      Throw in the following where needed:
                      Ghost Scepter > BKB > Linkens

                      If Riki is getting you, force staff out of cloud, turn on Ghost scepter, and 3 hit the little bastard with your orb. You can use the Scythe device on him if you are really afraid.

                      And always carry some dust.

                      Also your skill build on OD is weak. You should not put any points into his ORB until you have maxed Aura. You can right click spam the orb once you have Power treads and the wizard staff.

                          Get a buckler, it triggers the aura, and costs u only 25 mana
                          and then get a mek, u use mek, the aura might trigger and ur health and mana gets regenerated a bit
                          I get a silence on OD if there is a riki against me unless u got gd supports, because for me, I don't carry a sentry/dust/gem on OD, because he is a semi-carry, supports hold the gems as their inventory can't get full until rly rly late, sometimes never

                          BTETW

                            ok thanks mapzor. but riki is on my team. i know you said "if"

                                i am pissed at riki being on my side. because he doesnt help team at all. all he does is hide and watch us die like crap. then he come in and smoke the enemy and they all ran and when riki attack one of them they all gank him and he dies. lol.

                                    I advice u play some bots games, and watch some professional matches, so that u can improve a lot better, if u start immediately playing pub MM, then the client will queue u with similar skilled players and u would never improve that way, as they are skilled almost as much as u

                                    Most pro tournament matches are listed here:
                                    http://www.joindota.com/en/matches/

                                    U can watch games through the links they provide on joindota or through here:
                                    http://www.twitch.tv/directory/game/Dota%202

                                    If there is a match for a popular team, then u will mostly find it as the top viewers stream

                                    If u play pubs and get bad winrate/scores, u will get bashed by ppl, like "Bad to the bone"..

                                      @Mapz0r, Stacking is for retards? That is an extremely close minded opinion. Isn't this game about strategy? Playing with the same people creates synergy. You should try it, you might win more.

                                        Sarcasm OdiN, it goes a long way.

                                        Cheers @Mapz0r and @Gerry on the helpful tips. I seen this thread going in a whoooole other direction lol. I rarely play OD myself but I'm tempted to give him a try.

                                            Oh year great advice on playing OD, buying Skadi, nice one. Haven't had a laugh like this in a while.

                                            OD is an absolutely useless hero. The only good thing about this hero is that he will rape almost any other hero mid through his astral imprisonment but is unable to gang and has a week presence in team fights early on. Basically to put this in english if you farm the first 25 minutes of the game and come out with items and your team hasn't lost yet - you are good to go into team fights. But then again it's not really a hard carry since it is easily countered by bkb.

                                            2 words. Shit hero. Especially for pubs.

                                              @ bad really? i think od is very fun. you can spam your Q.

                                              I come from the dark

                                                YOU shouldn't be playing a hero like this anyway, browsed through your previous games, you can't farm to save your life. Unless you can farm 100 creeps in 20 minutes don't even bother choosing carry heroes.

                                                BTETW

                                                  ok ty for the tips bad. i will play another hero.

                                                    @bad bone, get hex
                                                    He isn't countered a lot by bkb, yes it's true he would hit with 100 physical dmg, but u can always kill the bkb holder before trying popping his bkb (use instant hex click), some true counter is omni, u should get a purge at that moment, to purge repel off the targeted enemy, or just kill omni first

                                                    OD is gd counter for heroes with extremely low int and int gain, like PA, Antimage, Huskar, and heroes who depend/get on magic/physical resistance, he doesn't care how much ur armor is, or how much magic resistance u got, but as u said, bkb can cause some troubles for the OD player

                                                      PA/Huskar = useless trash. don't ever bring up these heroes into discussion.

                                                      Antimage will rape OD. To start with after AM acquires battlefury - it is a farm machine. OD is a slow farmer.

                                                      You really have 2 scenarios with OD. You go mid, you rape mid but you can't gang properly since you have no skills for that. So you must farm mid while your opponent is raping your team.

                                                      You go farming the easy lane which is ok, you can get good items but you are nothing compared to freefarming antimage/gydrocopter or any other good carry.

                                                                                      I come from the dark

                                                                                        @Gerry my non smurt account has 55% WR through solo playing.

                                                                                        Regardless of that if you do not understand that OD is a weak hero and is NOT a carry hero, then you don't know a lot about dota.

                                                                                        Antimage is a very mobile hero and is able to farm quickly and could easily achieve 300+ cs in 25-30 minutes. Therefore you would farm 5 items much quicker than you would with OD. You would get nowhere near these numbers with OD. Not even to mention that it is a lot easier to kill OD than antimage when it comes to ganging.

                                                                                        I should mention though, that even in the 20 odd games i've playing on my smurf account - i've managed to get a higher GPM than you did on your main. Highest GPM of 700 is pathetic.

                                                                                        My computer is shit

                                                                                          I'll be sure to let Gabe know OP, rest assured.
