Dota 2

As a support you need experience more than gold, so rather deny creeps and farm neutrals, you will get your gold with kill assists eventually.

In your library, left click on Dota 2 and you should see a page with who of your friends own Dota 2, then under that you get 3 little check boxes one says Dota 2, the other says Dota 2 reborn and the last one says Dota 2 DLC, untick the Dota 2 reborn box.

I think for a support, denying creeps is VERY important in the early game, especially if the enemy team's carry is in your lane.

I’m not saying support need to get all the gold, just that it is an equal fight for creeps the first while. Killing of hero’s is still strictly for carries, unless they are getting away.

You will get destroyed in higher brackets if you play like that. Destroyed.

Also note that jacobdebeer's post below has highlighted this attitude that kills should be left for carries. Quite a few patches ago the assist gold got buffed very nicely so early kills give a fair amount of gold to all those that get the assist. At this point in dota a kill is a kill. You shouldn't be actively trying to leave the kill for the carry. That may cost you that kill altogether and then nobody gets any gold. Cast everything you feel you need to to ensure the kill and whoever gets it gets it. What is important is that your team gets that kill.

Remember the gold from an early kill is only equal to a few lane creeps. Early kills are great if you can get them easily but don't try to tell your carry to compromise his early game farm to chase down a single kill excessively. That behaviour will compromise your team going into the mid game.

I feel this is dota not LoL, a kill is a kill. Anoys the **** out of me when when someone pisses in their pants about that, especially in a team fight.

^this.

The gold you get from neutral creeps when you pull often, and perhaps a few of those neutrals as a CM or something similarly capable of quick early jungling, should be sufficient. Note that that isn't the same as saying supports need zero farm. They need farm. They just need to learn to find the farm while leaving the lane farm pretty much exclusively for their carry.

Also when you find a free lane and nobody more in need of the farm is nearby (and you aren't needed somewhere in a teamfight where your team is getting murdered) feel free to take what farm you can get.

That's what I feel as well, some people can't get over it though.

What really pisses me off is that they release a new treasure, but are unable to release the TI5 III treasures?!

It's times like these that drives a person into early depression, I only now realised that it's June and not July, which explains a lot wrt the Immortal III's actual release date.

And ffs, we don't want any more ****ing treasures/charms crap *sigh

Crap sets are crap! Gief our immortals!
 
Has anyone been able to join or host a game on the Reborn beta?

When I host, every single player fails to connect, and when I try to connect, I get the error: Unable to connect to server, Server shutting down.

Any known fixes?
