Dota 2 Invoker preview-wtf

[aneeskarim]

when i try in wtf mode when using skill i lost control of my hero is there any way to not do that or reselect him rather then F1

[KiaraLightcore]

10:03 BEHOLD THE MEATBALL!!!!!!

[dailyplayer123]

@PurgeGamers why don't you cast a THOUSAND!!!! forge spirits!!!. have u try it!?!?!

[munyamania]

1 question. do they implement the old dota1 hotkeys for invoker's skills? kinda used to the dota1 invoker's hotkeys and having to always check which skill is on either F or D is kind of hard is it.

[FuryOfTheSwarm]

i hate comments that say "thumbs up if you're watching this in 2012" no i'm watching this in 3000 b.c on my istone

[FuckinWurny]

This made me want to be an inProker

[gaunhlet]

hate this meteor.. no destroy all in his passs why? iTs a meteor :S

[mehasnofriends]

Invoker's portrait looks younger than his picture at the top.

[runingwolflexan]

Most fun, interesting and pro hero in the whole game! My personal favorite. Useful tip: Just before u cast ghost walk, try to have 3 wex on yourself, at max lvl u will even run fast and slow down :D

[CepbIuLOL]

Does usage of old hotkeys will help you with invoker?

[07rensza]

this character sounds very advanced. no thank u

[mikehawk315]

NOOO MAGICKA ALL OVER AGAIN

[Sealdmana]

:( Chaos Meteor doesn't destroy trees.

[Magzillas]

Geez I'm going to need to tape a cheat sheet to the com to play this guy.

[Pancakes0o]

Yep, can't wait for your invoker game. You're last one didn't turn out so well cus your pub team wasn't as coordinated, bt it was still fun to watch

[roflmoa42]

how do you go into wtf mode? o.O

[arunavsharma]

wat are the counters to Invoker ?

[asiano550]

@arunavsharma  Get a Pudge. Hide somewhere. Enjoy. :D The two biggest problems, in my opinion, are Bloodseeker and Obsidian Destroyer. Also be careful with Doom and hard disablers. If Invoker can cast then he is fine but if not .. well I think you know what will happen :D Other than that it depends on the player. Magina/Storm won't counter you really if you are good but if you are just starting you will have issues with pretty much everyone :D If you want Invoker out the answer is teamwork.

[WikaZZboY]

@arunavsharma I countered him with viper. So maybe high dps tank heroes will do.

[arunavsharma]

@WikaZZboY i used an orchid...

[joenyqify]

We want a Invoker gameplay! :D

[Movcog89]

Magicka could be a good practice for Invoker, Lol.

[iBiDRdyFtM]

I love Invoker ... but i suck with him :D

[xNaca7x]

I love Invoker ..but I will miss my auto-hotkey-tool to autoinvoke =(

[BringbackSWATcats]

So playing Invoker is essentially playing Magica?

[Melermometal]

If talking while Invoking fucks you up so much you could cast the video after recording in an actual game imo

[0902studios]

@Melermometal -.-

[Exoske1]

This hero seems OP when you picture him being played by a a pro..

[OnePieceOfRedSun]

@Exoske1 not if the enemy team shuts him down in the early game as this guy needs loads of exp and farm.

[LiZxzZz]

@Exoske1 it's not overpowered, doom = death :D

[Dylz22]

just played a game where i kept freezing (q-q-q) a pudge...perma stun himself for easy kills

most fun hero ive played in any moba game

[PurgeGamers]

@Dylz22 That is a bug. They had to stop cold snap from getting proc-ed by rot because it was too good in dota 1. Consider yourself lucky :D.

[0902studios]

@Dylz22 actually that is a bug lol, that never happens in dota 1, valve might fix it in the next patch that comes out :)

[FantasticVoyage112]

Can't wait for that first person gameplay for this guy what a crazy hero.

[chilldexfarm]

Dude, Purge, your commentary is super-on and really efficient in this. When you read off all the invoker abilities you sound like you're doin cocaine!!! :)

[dyingsole09]

Good thing I been playing Magicka to get ready for Invoker. lol.

[Noooooism]

wait did Invoker just say "behold the meatball" when he used Chaos Meteor at 20:44?

[Noooooism]

Sun Strike looks too awesome <3

[jermain72]

really awesome vid. love how he shows invokers potential !!!

[SwinubLoveShaymin]

Kids! Don't try this at home!

[spartanlolz]

so this is where the guys who made magicka got there idea from.

[OneEyedPoker]

i catch so many people with sunstrike def my fav ability of his

[Sensai007]

Thanks for the vid, Purge. I think the best part of it is that you can tell you're really excited about this hero being in the game. :-)

[Kalidascorp]

20:44 Behold the meatball!

[archkyle]

the extra hotkeys are like in league of legends (D and F)... i will have no problem with the transition.

[FuzzyAason]

I believe the minus armor only works on heroes

[kaisewroth]

His projectile motion is alot faster here than in dota..

[FuryOfTheSwarm]

roshan: mah hahaha im too powerful!, (auto attack ot victory) or (turn off pc)

[FuryOfTheSwarm]

10:40 IT'S 2012! IT'S THE END OF THE WORLD,

[dailyplayer123]

nice u don't have to type -invokelist anymore. \m/

[dusanp87]

Forged spirits kinda look like they are high:)

[EtHANBB]

Your APM is CRAZY!!! :-D

[saqeralqssaam]

and i thought cassiopeia was a hard champion :S

[JesterMereel]

@saqeralqssaam Yeah I know man, put poison on something and mash E all day, so hard to keep track of.

[dirrwen]

20:42 "Beholllld the MEATBALL!"

[llEanoxll]

Purge, we demand an Invoker game of EPIC proportions!!! Make it happen! *clap clap*

[CrossMax122]

"any sort of damage triggers this"

it's 10 or more.

[PurgeGamers]

@CrossMax122 That's right, forgot about the (deserved) nerf to prevent the imba orb of venom cold snap.

[lelyamarche]

They ruined invoker's hotkeys...

[rainingblood888]

Amazing spells omfg... Valve, please stop developing shitty hat simulators and focus on rpgs instead.

[kienluong01]

@rainingblood888 ??????

[pauliausgames]

My apm of invo 250~ and im still suck...

[Carrymancer]

@pauliausgames I measured mine back in dota, casual 150, when action starts 400 ahahhahaa im so gonna rape with him, mastered back in 2006 :D

[luckysarig]

if i play this hero im just gonna die so much. i wont ever be able to remember those abilities on the spot

[hiiclarens]

i think invoker said "behold the meatball!" when the meteor was cast at one point. funny. XD

[TheARTnSTUFF]

and he reminds me of magicka XD

[NickyDahl]

Wow, really lookin forward to watchin you play this guy! Kael'Thas ftw

[TheARTnSTUFF]

lol what a crazy hero!!! nothing like that in LoL. He seems hard to master, a good player must have quite some apm when playing him :D

really wanna see a game with him!

[cOoLst3r21]

Make a Gameplay of INVOKER ! :)

[adsfdsadfdf]

purge almost every hero do you say his ur favorite

[jandegrote1]

when you know how to play him its going to be kinda op i think :P

[nikossnx]

@jandegrote1 this is why they always ban him in clan wars

[chocoholic466]

holy shit!!!!! if i EVER go into a match and i see purge with an invoker i am IMMEDIATLY quiting!!! :D

[TrueValandor]

The one thing you didnt show in the video is that the order or Quas, Wex and Exort doesn't matter, when invoking a spell. Q Q W is the same as W Q Q or Q W Q.

[seanziess]

whats with everyone in the dota 2 scene saying tornado cc's are so underwhelming, tornado stick is such a great item and i never hear anyone mention it at all compared to something like a force staff

[Glitch1500]

10:40 cloudy with a chance of meatballs

[PrinceMapleD]

Here's the reword, the fact is, the skill that the spirits have only applies to heros, which means only when the spirits attacking heros, the lowering armor skill does its job.

[PrinceMapleD]

BTW the model of spirit is awful..

[Makool]

@PrinceMapleD Did you just say that spirits do not lower the armor of heroes? Well he didnt attack any heroes in this video. At all, so it should have been lowered, if you said that it only lowers it on heroes then I guess that could be true. But I dont know what you said.

[PrinceMapleD]

@Makool yep. sorry english isn't my first language. what I meant was, purge said the skill that the spirits have wasn't working properly, but I just want to point out that the skill the spirits have only applies to heros not creeps or other things.

[PrinceMapleD]

@Makool I had another look at my previous comment, yeah I messed up with what I was saying.

[Samuraipwner]

Melting strike only removes armor from heroes :D

[Chickenbollocks13]

Please for the love of God: don't pick Invoker if you haven't practiced and feel comfortable with him! He's not nub-friendly ><

[Analtorped0]

i love this hero gimme ;-(

[lessqqmorepewpiu]

Invoker is a goddamn gangster, he keeps extorting everyone

[MoritzKey]

WOAT?! so nice

[St4ssWtF]

This is gonna be sweet cant wait to see purge play this ina  pubby or something, i wonder if he will be used in league

[Randarg1]

The Forge Spirits DO lower armor, it just doesn't work on non-heroes. They never did in DotA, so why would they in DotA 2?

[Georgiebehrr]

invoker tried to kill me.

[CSmaniack]

in his avatar he looks like a dracula and kinda reminds me of vlad from lol

[TillDawnProductions]

meh..he looks too much like a WoW-bloodelf

[NeverGonnaGonna]

@TillDawnProductions not a suprise considering that the model of invoker in wc3 was a bloodelf

[TillDawnProductions]

@NeverGonnaGonna yeh - i just realized that lol - pretty interesting hero nevertheless

[d24isDURIAN]

@TillDawnProductions and because of that he has the best lookign portrait. Im sad that a lot of the dota 2 heroes dont have the warcraft touch

[18ps3anos]

@TillDawnProductions probably because invoker in dota1 uses kael'thas model no ?

[judaijaden]

@TillDawnProductions type in Kael the blood elf he was based on invoker at DOTA 1

[Makool]

@TillDawnProductions Guess what his skin was from Dota? Guess what race is famous for being the most badass and almost evil mages? Wow changed them into wussies, at least Invoker is still as badass as ever.

[PurgeGamers]

@TillDawnProductions That's because his character in WC3 dota was the Warcraft 3 blood elf :P

[Opblaaskaas]

@PurgeGamers Was Invoker Kael'Thas by any chance?

[kainono]

@Opblaaskaas Yes indeed he was

[amourarock]

@PurgeGamers i think invoker has a major bug right now like he does not gain any stat by leveling his skill

[mihailo343]

@TillDawnProductions Did u play wc3 ?

[xANTHQNY]

@TillDawnProductions omg, you are an idiot.

[TheBrontolith]

@TillDawnProductions TROLOLOLOLOLOL

[Sheehanish]

wow his portrait is probably the best in game

[AirPhforce]

@Sheehanish I have to agree.

[Failepicnoob]

thats a lot of skills for one hero..

[PhoenixFlashka]

OH SHI~ i`m first
