/watch?v=ZdGWeIH97Lc

[MrCocktil]

how come dota didn't have any guides like these?

[m3thane]

can i use burriza to make her powershot more damage? hehehehe

[Itachi21x]

phase boots ftw

[HoNiLove1]

i think hon is better

[komedylover]

@HoNiLove1 yeah well I guess everybody is entitled for their own opinions :)

[leoric1996]

Run Like Wind. LOL

[meesersuperman]

Wtf. Scepter isn't useless. It's maybe a little weak but if you're having a good game and you have support can go scepter basher+orb of choice. It pwns and you permastun with your ult.

[DeathMoonArcher356]

@meesersuperman basher? really? im assuming you play in pubs, but in real fights that wont work

[VSpiRiT13]

So its whats your 6 final items?

[elbroder995]

Elusive Redhead Great Name

[YuanBuck]

coooooooooooostipaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aation :D

[athenaEcchix]

@viiietdude LOL! sorry I thought she's still Alleria,, XD

[Kil6969]

SKILLLL BUILDDD

[CreedNapify]

when is dota 2 coming out?

[Qualitiedx]

what's with the voice change when you change chapter...it sounds so funny....

[FlyingShoppingCart]

Can't wait for Magina's guide and Troll Warlord preview...

[athenaEcchix]

Why is that Alleria's ears are shortened? She's a high elf!! One of the younger siblings of Sylvanas Windrunner :O

[viiietdude]

@athenaEcchix

They remade her lore. Her name in Dota 2 is Lyralei.

[LeaFtw]

hopefully one for crystal maiden soon :)

[SudamLL11]

Could u go over why not to get aghanim's scepter, what "orb" effect? I thought i makes ur ult not reduce attack dmg...

[gdo0612]

You should have mentioned that furion is a wonderful friend because of sprout,,so shackleshot will never miss

[freeplay2414]

I use to run lothars and maelstrom for lolz

[Frozlix]

Monkey king bar is probably the best item combined  with her ulti.

[scoobysharky]

Any comment on using Windrunner as a hard carry? Example, MKB, Lifesteal etc

[MrCountCrowley]

i kinda like having maelstrom and basher on her, cuz its a nice combo with her ulti...

[SinghWingh]

maelstrom on her owns early/mid game..

[07mert07may]

wtf that sound? item build, gameplay vs.... this man's that sounda is just awful....

[whichmeans]

Hey when are terrorblade and Slark coming out?? :-)

[vtzation]

Damn she is a sexy redhead

[Arionkiller]

Supposed to be like Aluna?

[MrCountCrowley]

@Arionkiller aluna supposed to be like her... but aluna sux unlike her

[TheRaViJdS0ul]

@MrCountCrowley Where the heck did you read that Aluna was supposed to be like her? Some player's post on a forum? It's like comparing Lion to Engineer.

[Nowheremovies]

what the fuck is the suicide lane... I've been googling it forever and there is not 1 single definition of it yet, everyone uses this term...

[BanielDrown]

@Nowheremovies he explains it in the vid! it bassically means 1vs2

[VanceHelw]

@Nowheremovies the lane that can make you easily become feeder, because there 2 or 3 heroes with stun/disabled or high damage nuke.

[TheRaViJdS0ul]

@Nowheremovies Some call it the disadvantage lane. For the Radiant, it's the top and for the Dire, it's bot. The towers are far away from the initial creep clash and just walk a few steps away from it and you're beyond the river.

[XCaptainKeyesX]

@Nowheremovies It's the lane where you have a solo hero such as Windrunner in the long lane. (Bot lane if you're on dire, top if you're on radiant). It's often a 2v1, but can be 1v1, or even 3v1. This is why it's called the suicide lane.

[panic2u]

@Nowheremovies it is a lane where one hero goes against 2 heroes basically when ur team mkes a tri-lane or a jungler so u gotta go solo bot/top and she is pretty good for the ''suicide lane''

[KnightmareDotA]

@Nowheremovies actually most of warcraft dota players call it hard lane, its because you are against a trilane or double lane and they are keeping you away from experience. she's probably the most profitable hero on this position.

[mrbrunost10]

@Nowheremovies Its a lane where you tipically solo against 2 heroes. Your job is to get exp without dying. Short term.

[likeworks]

@mrbrunost10 also its generaly the top as sentinel or botom as scourge

[ThePhil4all]

@mrbrunost10 It's usually solo against 2 gankers aka a killerlane.

[STGVIAus]

@Nowheremovies solo lane

[Cryogenic68]

@STGVIAus No.

[Cryogenic68]

@Nowheremovies These people are incorrect. The suicide lane in the bottom lane for the Dire or the top lane for the Radiant. The Radiant's bottom lane is their longest, and the Dire's shortest, so by the time the creeps meet to fight, you are fighting by the Radiant's tower on their territory, making that the Radiant's safety lane and the Dire's suicide lane, in addition to having the option to pull in your safety lane, making it harder for the enemy. Same goes for Dire on their top lane.

[Blacktwister91]

@Nowheremovies It's rather called "Hardlane" and a natural term to "-cm" or "clanwar" games

[TavernBuild]

@Nowheremovies the long lane usually, top for radiant, bot for dire. Usually where the opposing team puts their trilane or killing lane

[kebrown73]

@Nowheremovies Mid

[YouAreAllMaggots]

Furion next!

[holdme2000]

medallion.

[mcoy12garcia]

please beta key?ffs

[reighteeen]

Are they ever gonna release this to EVERYONE?

[locKifiedDotA]

And btw, there should be a special mention to hex being a good counter to WR since it can completely remove the actual buff from WR when she is hexed.

[locKifiedDotA]

Awesome videoes, keep up the good work at DotACinema :D

[pecal95]

Um how many hero at dota 2... i see dota got more than 100 heroes

[EposTheEpic]

When start open beta pls ?:) i cant w8 !!

[BanditDVL]

Hard lane early items is: 3 branch ring of protection (for basil) healing pot tangos... mantle of inteligent sucks guys come on be serious

[wheelchair89]

I am quite new to Dota or Dota2, so I wanna ask is desolator good for her?

[DotaCinema]

@wheelchair89 According to our guide, no.

[lamezzrulezz]

@DotaCinema I've seen basher to be picked up for windruner and when si activates her ulti she beats the crap of a hero

[drone4epic]

@wheelchair89 in truth any item u make is good. it will only benefit you. however u should go for the items that will benefit the most. and also you should deside what role ur gonna play..

[MaDmanex100]

@wheelchair89 it is but not as good as the mana steal orb

[wheelchair89]

@MaDmanex100 but wouldn't that be the item built usually for Drow Ranger? I mean, I usually sees people do that. Sorry, if I asked so much, I just don't have much experience when handling a game, much more as a support. Well, just trying to fit into the role. Always called noob in pub game, wished that people would be much informative. =)

[OkamiSojirou]

@wheelchair89 % proc items works wonders on Windrunner i.e. Sange (not recommended), Sange & Yasha, Maelstrom/Mjolnir (my preferred), MKB, Buriza. But that's if you build a semi-carry role to maximise Aghanim's Sceptre. As an int support, just rush that Sheepstick! :D

[wheelchair89]

@OkamiSojirou

but according to the guide mjolnir seems not to be a good thing for Windrunner, I mean I am kinda a new player, so support would be great for me. Can't really pull of a kill by my own now. So I always trust this guide and go for meka and boots and also sheepstick, If I can farm, if not i'll go gank with team.

@PurgeGamers, consider aghanim's scepter to be awful, and I won't be able to max all my farming towards that item built too, but thanks for your reply! =)

[OkamiSojirou]

@wheelchair89 This guide shows Windrunner as a support. I play a semi-carry Windrunner. Semi-support, semi-carry. I'd normally rush Sheepstick though. Then transition into my carry build. But yeah, it's better to play WR as a support if you're unfamiliar with her.

And a tip, Orchid of Malevolence is like a God item on WR because of your Windrunner ability. Enemy is silenced, you are immune to physical attacks. Win! :D

[wheelchair89]

@OkamiSojirou Ahh I see. Well, I would like to work it to an Orchid now since Orchid is cheaper now, yeah! WIN. But then, would it be too late if I rush for Force Staff first!?

Because I kinda want to have some survivability, I cannot do mid and can't do top lane, because I would be rape, it's a suicide lane for me. =), my last hit is not bad. So Force staff 1st then orchid? would be okay?

[OkamiSojirou]

@wheelchair89 Just get a decent amount of mana regen first so you can farm with your Powershot. I find that Null Talisman is more than sufficient if you can resist spamming Powershot. :)

[AinnaYui]

@wheelchair89 The best pure dmg items on windrunner are: 1. King Bar 2. Dedalus closely followed by 3. orchid and 4. scythe (tested with ulti @ lvl 25).

[fightnight14]

@wheelchair89 No, get something with stats + mana like orchid malevolence, skadi, guinsoo, and damage like Mjolnir and MKB. She kick asses late game with those!

[HaTManROX]

Hmm...Bow and Arrow? COPIED ROBIN HOOD UNORIGINAL FFFFFFFF

[DjoleLepi]

When the hell is this shit of a game COMING OUT!??!?!?!?

[ujwalvail]

did yu say that with ur own voice ,,..SKILL BUILD,ITEM BUILD at 1:05 ??

[JanFisherPL]

It's funny, because all heroes(LoL, HoN, Dota2) are sooooooooo symilar.

[Bluezaphire2402]

@JanFisherPL Dota exist b4 Hon. So who's the copycat?

[geberejackson38]

Hey please answer me,i was playing dota 1 like few years ago online,i was playing the hero named Centaur warship or something like that..Now i cant see you showing that hero..Can you please show the guides of it? i want to start dota again

[zobayer1]

[TalkingSugar]

hahaha.. you made a guide for my favorite hero =)

[WLMRiFi]

It's guide for noob. I didn't know nothing new. Who good play in dota1 don't need in that elementary еxplanations.

[JaphetRocks]

OKAY..... LOL, HoN players...... First of all, heroes in Dota 2 are copied from the original dota..... the one that LoL and HoN were copied from... dumbassess...

[bugbugjkh]

[FTW7angel]

[eltoto48]

Dont forget to mention bloodseeker as a Windrunner enemy. He just fucks her windrun with his ult, or his silence.

[nikolaslaven]

my fav hero. Too bad she's a copy of ashe.

Hahahahahaha i know she isn't, just wanted to write something stupid.

[holyheadcrabber]

more



[Posionslayer]

While you might think orb and on hit effect items might be bad, I think it is actually quite good if you were to play the hard carry role (even if there's better picks for that) and have a team supporting you.

[lobcat]

@xXxTheHeroMasterxXx thx for the answer, I'll be waiting more guides including de CM guide, I've just subscribed to DotA2PortalGuides and keep up the great joob ;D

[SeniorEpicFail]

Gayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyplayyyy.



[TheKaTaHa]

[ech0six]

I hate gingers...

[Litlleg1]

are you going to make more of these ?

[DotaCinema]

@Litlleg1 Yes, for every hero actually, we plan on releasing 2 a week :)

[aveynes]

@DotaCinema Great to hear this. :)

[TheGamers20]

@DotaCinema LOL, I can't wait for Gondar's guide! =)

[Bluezaphire2402]

@DotaCinema Wow that would be awesome! A guide for Crystal Maiden plzzzz :p

[nhanchanhung]

@DotaCinema Love you SunsFAN :X

[LocalDawn]

@DotaCinema will you release a video for bristleback? he was my favorite in dota :( will he be in dota 2?

[Wootman00]

@LocalDawn He will be in dota 2. He just is not added at the moment.

[NightmareCrab]

@DotaCinema holy sven dicksauce....dats awesome!

[rsjet]

It's mekansm... not mekanism :)

[Razvan888]

@rsjet Well apparently all the heroes in dota 2 pronounce that item mekanism. Probably Valve omitted something or its just the way it should have been pronounced from the start

[rsjet]

@Razvan888

Interesting... I don't have dota 2 yet (still waiting for my invite) so I didn't know this. Thanks for the comment.

I'm guessing since many people already mispronounced/misread it, they decided to keep that common pronunciation.

[zsb92]

she used to be blonde... :'(

[ArcaneSmash]

@zsb92

redheads <3

[Cascante98]

LOL she's an elusive redhead

fapfapfapfapfapfap

Sees WR owning Axe and FV with chain lightning. :/

[nazzyc]

[jyjunyang001]

Please do a guide on Dwarven Sniper >:)

[SolidFake]

what is a suicide lane?

I played dota years ago and play lol since 2 years, but I never heard of such a term.

[TripleDeckerD3]

@SolidFake A suicide lane is a 1v2 side lane.

[kienluong01]

@SolidFake u vs trilane

[TheSladr]

because you transform enemy into a sheep with a stick^^

[drzeke245]

why is guinsoo scyth called sheepstick?

[A5GRedwing666]

@drzeke245 It's a slang, Because it's faster to just say sheepstick than Guinsoo's scythe, though me and my friends just call it Guinsoo.

[drzeke245]

@A5GRedwing666 thx for the info... me n my friends call it "hex" easier to type and say

[CaptainBakaSama]

0:41 -- DEMACIA!!!

[lobcat]

can I expect a Crustal Maiden guide or I'm dreaming too high? But for real now, you're gonna make more guides, don't you?

[xXxTheHeroMasterxXx]

@lobcat no your not it will be probably at DotA2PortalGuides since I'll probably be the one writing the build for CM

[TheStormDeagle]

Dota 2 Guide: Bounty Hunter!!!

[natan26031999]

will be more guides?

[Zollistic]

I love your stuff, and I like the format of this video. But Sunsfan, please make your title voice more professional!

[FruitoMonoSki]

Where is my invitation i asked it like 3 weeks ago lol Steam account:reddemon97

[kienluong01]

@FruitoMonoSki 3 weeks? lol, i did it 3 months ago and still not receive a shit

[1Jp2y]

her arrows come out of her vagina!

[DanilloMagalhaes]

@1Jp2y yup u can see the ultimate the arrows dont come from the bow Oo

[GothrixZ]

Actually a very good guide. Im quite impressed

[ShatteredEquilibrium]

Nice guide, just ignore all the self-proclaimed dota masters who pick Magina and leave with 0:4 after 3 minutes.

[MrAwezone]

these guides are awesome and well made... but i hate one think:

plz stop changing your voice and say "item build" stupidly.... this is getting out the seriousness of this

[mKeoWexel]

SKILBILD!!!!

[TyronMakeka]

i can already feel the hate...oh well here goes: what is the suicide lane?

[FamousFabe]

@TyronMakeka You versus a tri-lane. I'll skip the hate ;)

[HugsMTG]

@TyronMakeka a suicide lane is one where there is more then 1 stunner or disable available to the opposing team or when there are 3 heros in a lane with 2-3 disables / nukes

[MuThFckR]

sounds like he gonna take a shit

[shalkana]

It's alright (the vid), but cut the wierdo voice inbetween changing subjects

[GamesKing1337]

Im sorry, but is there any way to get a dota 2 key as a game reporter or something?
