Oh no. He's in the game? I remember he was incredibly OP in the original Dota. Pissed the hell out of me with his homing rockets.

He's just as OP in dota2, works in any lane, strong early game and scales as well as a carry into late game. Pretty much no weaknesses if played right, needs a change for sure

He's pretty strong, not as strong as Magnus or Nyx though. Definitely stupidly easy to play though.
Dum Windrunner cost me my Divine last game. I don't think she learned how shackle worked the entire game.

Heads up: If you buy the International Compendium right now you will get a Battle Bonus that lasts for 95 days and gives you +125% battle points and 25% points for everyone else in the game (which stacks with other bonuses).
Specifically, the bonus lasts until the end of the International, which is currently more than three months away. So the sooner you buy it, the better.

His missile hurts pretty bad when you're in a 1v1 scenario (since you can't destroy it before it hits you) but it's lackluster in teamfights. Overall I don't think Gyrocopter is too strong. He has to place himself in dangerous situations to be able to use his Q, and he needs a lot of items to effectively use his E. I'd rather fight him than CancerLancer any day of the week.
I believe it's possible to dodge Gyro's missile with a smoke of deceit if you have one. It always makes you invis for at least 0.1s even if you are in range of enemy heroes.

His missile is shit, it can't catch up to anybody walking in a straight line. It's only useful for early ganks, which Gyro needs to be effective in mid to late-game. He's not OP but a lot of people don't know how to play against him still. I can't even count how many Rikis have popped out of invis thinking they could kill me 1v1.
e: The most common build is to fully level the W before the Q which is pretty stupid, the E helps a lot in early ganks and teamfights. The "Wegee" build is the one I've been using since I first started playing him and it is really strong.

Yeah, it's just the missile that isn't very good in teamfights. The other stuff is fine. Anyway, gyro is stronk but on the other hand it's a lot easier to deal with him than most other carries because he doesn't have any escape and his kit forces him to be in people's faces to be able to kill them. Have they fixed the taunts in the new chest yet? I wanna open some but I heard it crashes the game or something. |

Yeah that's not really an issue anymore. It seems like every single person on Steam has 5+ doter keys at this point.

http://www.twitch.tv/beyondthesummit/b/407463147?t=166m30sFastest Rosh I've ever seen. These guys just TP'd to their tier 1 tower and killed rosh before the other team could even walk there directly from base. 47 seconds before the first creep spawn. Holy fuck.

That is great. Been playing Spirit Breaker a lot recently, 9 wins and two losses, playing like a crazy motherfucker, loving every Naix bomb. |

My friend Nifl made a guide to blocking Dire camps with Force Staff. I uploaded it on imgur so you can check it out! http://imgur.com/a/hT1K4If you post any feedback for him here I will forward it as soon as I can. |

That's all pretty neat. My only concern would be that blocking jungle is more useful in early game, when a force staff would be unavailable. Still, an interesting niche strat

Just got Dota 2. Should I just play against bots at first. This seems like a really hard game to get into. Any advice?
