DOTA 2 Auto Chess: Combining Druids is Pure Value!

[@duane7278]

this used to be an autochess channel

[@whinemax]

A note about Slark, Troll Warlord, itemization and crits in dota2: Slark is currently bugged, making him a lot stronger than intended. His ability Shadow Dance consist of two parts, an active and a passive. The passive part gives him %HP regen based on his maximum health when enemies can't see him. In normal dota this means that whenever enemies can't see him because of fog of war, or because he activates the ability, he will gain somewhere from 30-300 health regen depending on the state of the game. The active part of the ability turns him invisible, even whilst attacking. So the idea is that enemies can't target him with attacks or spells, he can attack the enemies without being hindered, and he gains a large amount of health regen. Now the healthregen is supposed to vanish when enemies gain sight of him again, but in Auto Chess it continues even after his ult runs out. This means that Slark, undeservedly, will get 60-80 health regen per second, after his first ability cast. At 21:00 you begin to estimate which warrior is best to keep, so let me give you my two cents. If it looks like you are gonna go heavy warrior (6 pieces) early on, or lategame you begin to get the good warriors, put ALL your damage items on Troll. Because of damage items giving you a flat amount, any increase in attack speed will disproportionately increase their value. And because Troll Fervor, the passive of Troll Warlord, is the only ability/passive that increases attack speed he will always get most value out of the items. Because all the damage items are flat damage they will always be better on a low star troll than a higher star anything.

[@Mindereak]

I don't know if crits in autochess work like you described but they surely don't work like that in normal dota 2. You said that in dota 2 crits only scale off of your base damage, that's not true, you can check the wiki: dota2.gamepedia.com/Critical_strike Quote: "It only counts the unit's main attack damage (base damage, plus damage gained from the primary attribute), plus any bonus damage (percentage and flat bonuses) it has [...]".

Early game you should put your enchantresses up front so they take damage to get their heals off before everything dies. If your enchantresses are the last things alive with half mana you are doing it wrong.

[@FieryHammer]

Today I had a crazy run. Went for druid combo, but next to it I went for demon + demonhunter combo. I had all level 3, druids except Lone Druid (I only bought him once for the level up synergy then sold him), level 3 anti mage, level 3 terrorblade, level 3 shadow fiend, level 3 chaos knight and level 2 doom. Only 8 chess pieces but the demons (especially Terrorblade) carried me from an early losing and 28% health to a late game victory.

[@XBLonTwitch]

Why is it every time I watch youtubers play this game, they get the most insane rolls ever... 6 Enchants and 3 Antis in 3 rounds... WTF!?

[@AVeryNormalGuy]

they play the game all day and one out of every 10 game they get some nice rolls.

[@srtn1137]

there is only around 5-6 chess piece and trump already got 4, at this point other people can't buy echantress piece anymore because they are unlikely to be sold at shop unless RNG goes weird. feels bad for other player tried the druid synergy because 1 of the available chess already in trump hand.

[@20xd6]

Trumps APM is painfully low

[@srtn1137]

the game is slow and not responsive also bad control. no matter how fast trump click, he will still need more time. example: 1. you can't move chess piece when shop User Interface is open. by this reason alone you need to close the shop and wait for shop closing animation gone before you can move chess piece. 2.chess piece movement control is different from normal control people used to. every warcraft III and dota player used to set up group control or using left mouse button to select unit before moving them with right mouse button (example of group control please watch warcraft III tournament in case you don't know what it looks like because it's also work on dota 2 but less likely to be seen because not every hero use multi unit) Dota 2 auto chess use ability button before clicking chess piece and click on target location which taking 1 extra step. at this reason alone i believe it's bad designed because i need to move chess piece 1 by 1 instead assigning group control and move a group of same hero. (example of disgusting control in this game you can look at 12:12 where trump moving the chess 1 by 1) it's just disgusting to click 9 times to move a group of chess piece to the field.(Skill>piece>target location) imagine if you can assign them into group control number 1 and move them all at once with right click to nearest target location which take only 2 click. i normally assign dota 2 illusion hero into separate group so i can move them easily. Ctrl + 1 on real hero + illusiion to set them up into group 1 in case i want to control all of them by single click on number 1 key ctrl + 2 on real hero only to access real hero control alone ctrl + 3 on 1 fake illusion to access control on fake illusiion by clicking number 3.

druids have overall lower statline than a unit 1 tier under that have 1 rarity lower,unless it's for the very early win streaks where you just do level 2 mal/treant/enchant and a level 2 lone druid in lategame it's not worthwhile to invest on the 4 druid synergy as economical as it would sound

Chess player is just cosmetic and the chess piece is your rank. The number is how far into that rank you are. Knight 1 is the lowest rank of knight. Knight 9 is the highest. After Knight 9 you got to Bishop 1.

[@gaarakabuto1]

Honestly DONT PICK UP DRUIDS.Druids have the lowest powerlevel out of all classes just so they are balanced,what you loose from power you get it back with value.They are super weak early on and because enchantress is one of the best due to her healling and also her rarity is the lowest EVERYONE WILL PICK HER UP,as a result you will be competing with 3-4 druid gatherers making it impossible to go with it and since their power level is low without the value of picking them THEY ARE USELESS. PS.In case you did picked them up give anything mana relative,bc all their powerspike is on their abilities but they hit SLOW

@@MagikarpsSplash ye, information paralysis is real. There is a lot take in when you are still learning AC, but then again Trump has had the same problem 2 years into playing hearthstone too.

Man, the recent Demon / Demon Hunter changes made that archetype so freaking busted.

[@phoenix6890]

Yeah, which means everyone tries to go DH, meaning there are less, meaning it is inconsistent. Game kinda balances itself like that (not perfectly of course, TB is still op)

[@Zakading]

@@phoenix6890 While unfortunately true, that still just increases the power disparity between those builds and literally all others. I really hope they address it ASAP, it's really just a huge pain in the ass. Doesn't even make particularly much sense that Demon Hunter is a buff to your own demons.

[@VidaDeSims]

i agree that demon hunter working with other demons dont make any sense but i disagree with you in the power disparity part, troll+knight, troll+beast+warlock, troll+elf are still way stronger anything with troll warlord and some sinergy sorry bad english bro

[@MrKenilles]

@@VidaDeSims it's troll that's busted. Most op lvl 4 unit, arguably more powerful than most lvl 5 units. And he's got two potent synergies also

[@Zakading]

@@VidaDeSims While, yes, those builds are stronger in the late game, the Anti-Mage + TB combo, followed by just piling up other demons, simply snowballs so hard that the advantage you get usually is enough to simply overrun a lot of Troll builds. Those all eventually need Warlord, and that guy takes usually at least 15-20 waves to spawn. If you get a Wave 1 Anti-Mage, Wave 2 TB, you'll probably be sitting at an 8 win streak by that point and a ton of cash to spare. I just find builds that not only start strong but start so strong that you can roll over the entire game on a single huge streak and keep that going until the very late game to be ridiculously unfair.

It doesnt have anything to do with chess its just the name. Did you watch trumps video where he explains it?
