Lol good thing bot games don't mean squat, so I can leave them whenever I want. I'm 6-2 Admiral, my bot team is 0-24 combined, even on "unfair" difficulty for my bots.
*watches enemy bot team move as 5, watch as my bots gather at tower with me and then run in all **** like and get blown up*

Difficulty also affects the enemy bots.

It's really just a matter of which bots you get. Some are a lot better than others.

Competitive games have been changed with the addition of Invoker -- messed up all the bans. Fun to watch the metagame shift.

Edit: It's a shame one of the primary American teams (FIRE) has been reprimanded for abusing bugs in games. =[

Yeah, I have a feeling it's just me being out of practice, since the last time I played Dota was like 4 years ago.

Also, what bug was FIRE abusing? If they were smart enough to discover it and abuse it, then they deserve to win.

Does anyone have tips on playing Ursa?


Get a great babysit, farm up your vlads, rosh, and then proceed to rice all day until you can destroy. Also get a blink, it's needed because of the terrible mobility on him.

Ursa needs really good support to carry well because of his lack of disables, little mobility, etc. He's also one of the scariest carries if you have a team supporting you since then you can just murder.

If Puck turned on autocast on Phase Shift while he was stunned then he could use the ability to dodge. Also worked in abilities like Chronosphere. It was also possible to move while Phase Shift if you did a few things.

Bug abuse has always been banned in tournaments. When this was discovered FIRE's win was taken away, and they were lucky they didn't get DQed from the tournament.

You could also effectively trade money between players by trading consumables within the resell time limit. Teams (not just FIRE) did this to give their carries more money early on.

Magic Stick, Phase Boots, Vlads. Vanguard early if you're having survivability issues.

Then it depends. Blink Dagger/Force Staff/Shadow Blade for getting in depending on the competence of your opponents. BKB if you need it (you probably do). Heaven's Halberd wouldn't be bad. Heart is obviously good.

Get someone to protect you early game, buy vladimir's offering, go kill roshan (because Ursa can do it at like level 8 with Vlad's), and then farm farm farm farm farm until you're stacked enough to kill everything.

oh sorry, I didn't know you didn't play dota, lol.

Babysit = someone picks a support hero to basically protect you in lane, allowing you to last hit while they harass the enemy, ward, stack camps, pull, etc. Basically a hero that doesn't need much farm to be effective, so they're picked to help out the carry who needs farm (Ursa).

Vladimirs offering is an item that gives you a ton of lifesteal (you gain life on attacks). This is good on Ursa because with his ability to add damage to a target over and over, you can effectively solo Rosh as soon as you get the item, since you'll regen your health as you hit him and build up enough stacks that you start hitting him for 500 damage.

Rice is just a term for "farm farm farm farm farm". Doing everything in your power to get a ton of gold so you can get your items as quickly as possible. You won't be moving around the map much at all except for teleporting to towers at the last second to help in a team fight, but you should NOT be running around the map looking for people to gank as a carry unless you are supremely fed and looking to gank them so you can push and win.

The reason Ursa gets Vlads is its the only form of any orb/Attack modifyer he can get as Vlad's is an Aura, and allows him to make Rosh his *****. Of course if you have a Skeleton King its pretty pointless to get Vlads then, since the main reason for getting it is lost, and the damage isn't significant to get it.

His fury swipes is his built in attack modifyer/Orb, and also his main form of damage(most the game) and why he explodes heroes.
