DOTA 2 | Moments Away

DOTA 2 is near and we can spot the signs! Check all the latest news! 

So... More DOTA 2 news! Apparently, Valve is quite active these days! Did you spot it? If not, don't worry that's why we are here! They are about to make a move on the official website. Also, check out the latest leak with new patch notes from the BETA!

So, let's start with the official website. The reason we are saying that something is about to happen is because the official DOTA 2 blog has been moved to the sub-domain blog.dota2.com instead of the root domain that it used to be at (www.dota2.com). This can only mean that they are ready to make some updates on the site and create separate sections on it that will be separated with sub-domains (blog.dota2.com, forum.dota2.com, etc.).

The next piece of info that we spotted is a leaked screenshot of a post that apparently was posted at the official Team Fortress 2 website (http://teamfortress.com). It is unclear why that happened, mistake or intentional leak, but someone had the chance to screenshot it and here it goes. Again, it is unsure whether this is a leak or a fake rumor but if you are perceptive enough you can notice that the layout, font, background etc. are exactly the same as the Team Fortress 2 website. Moreover, we analyzed the image digitally and guess what, the website's background color and the image's is the same: #d2cdc9.

dota2 july leaks

Coincidence? We don't think so, nor does Google. Try searching for: anything from those notes, for example: "teamfortress fixed ice blasts projectile". Do you see that the first result is the official Team Fortress 2 website and you can see the post being there. So, by Google's Cache we declare this official! Check it out here:

DotA Meepo Item Build | Geomancer Item Build Guide and Strategy

DotA Meepo Item Build - Geomancer Item Build Guide and Strategy. Originally worshipped by the pagan tribes of Germania and the black forests that encompassed it, Meepo is a mischievous spirit of the earth who enjoys burying his enemies alive in mountains of rock spikes, pinning them down into helplessness as he pummels them into submission with his mighty shovel. The most disturbing of the Geomancer’s powers, however, is his ability to separate his being into multiple selves, each as powerful as the original and making him potentially four times the trouble for the unlucky who encounter him.

Gorgon Item Build | DotA Medusa Item Build Guide and Strategy

Gorgon Item Build - DotA Medusa Item Build Guide and Strategy. An insidious creature that dwelled for eons in the underwater prisons of Nazjatar, the Gorgon was unwittingly freed during the war waged between King Arthas’s Scourge and the Naga on the icy shores of Northrend. Plagued by undeath in the aftermath, Medusa welcomed the blessing of immortality. Gifted with a keen sense of archery and affinity to magic at birth, she has honed her skills over the ages – striking multiple foes with a single volley of arrows, debilitating them with jolts of lightning, and even conjuring a protective barrier of mana.

DotA Items and Their Counters!

New items are keep coming out on the recent DotA versions. But do you know that almost every item has its counters? Check this out!

vs
Black King Bar and Linken is the obvious counter, but you should know that you can Purge the heroes to remove Hex or Cyclone.


DagonMedallion of Couragevs 

Black King Bar is the ultimate counter for any spell!

vs   
BKB prevent you from return damage while Satanic 100% lifesteal will help you nulled the return damage if you are using physical attack.

vs 
Not many people know that we can remove the Ghost Form using Purge. Hex is pretty obvious.

vs -disablehelp
Tired with your team mate who keep using Force Staff on your hero? -disablehelp is your ultimate counter ;)

vs  Rapier
Just kidding, you just have to quickly gank the holder and destroy (or steal) it when dropped. Remember the Gem cooldown is quite long.

vs  
Sentry War anyone?

vs  
Dust is the cheapest solution if you wanna gank heroes that have Lothar while Sentry is better used when you are going into a team war.

vs 
Ghost Form is the ultimate counter for any physical attack (and their effect)!

vs  
True Strike will negate any evasion with ease.

vs  
Both item is negating each other. While Assault Cuirass has attack speed increase aura, Shiva have the attack speed decrease aura. Shiva armor boost will also help you againts the minus armor aura from Cuirass.

vs 
Battlefury will remove illusions with ease if you are using melee hero. Mjollnir's Static Charge and Shiva's Arctic Blast also work well for illusions.

vs 
Radiance can screw up Blink Dagger user. If you have charge you can cast Urn to your enemies to prevent them using Blink Dagger.

vs  
Chop all the trees before your enemy eat it! I'm serious here!

Scroll of Town Portal vs 

Basically any disable will do well here. Please note that Force Staff does not cancel Town Portal.

vs 
They cancel each other. The left reduce magic damage while the right enhanced it. Veil of Discord is still rarely used though.

vs  
Turn the Dominated creeps into gold with ease.

vs 
Urn is the cheapest item which can counter Linken. Use it before your main spell for maximum damage.

vs 
Actually there's no actual counter for BKB, that's why IceFrog nerf the BKB duration. But if the enemy use BKB you can cast cyclone to yourself and watch your enemy wasting 2.5 seconds waiting for you. Or cast Force Staff to get some distance with the BKB user.

vs  Smoke of Deceit
You can avoid the enemies Observer Ward using Smoke of Deceit. However, if the enemies for some reason also using Sentry Ward alongside the Obs, Smoke won't work. But it rarely happen because of the cost for both Ward.

vs  Smoke of Deceit
Cast Purge on the Necro Warrior/Archer for instant Gold :)

You got another? Feel free to add more in the comment section ;)
