[WC3 - Dots] General discussion thread II
« on: March 15, 2011, 10:18:01 AM »
Old thread here: http://www.shrinemaiden.org/forum/index.php/topic,6811.0.html



TOUHOU GENSOKYO: Defense of the Shrines
< incoming fancy banner or something here >

Touhou Gensokyo: Defense of the Shrines is a variation on the Defense of the Ancients game. This is a WarCraft 3 map made by Chinese people, so the map itself is in Chinese, simplified. It is extremely fun, though a little bit unbalanced. Just a little bit.

Touhou Wiki article: here (contains translated descriptions for the game, heroes and items)
Official DoTS forum Chinese: here
Unofficial promo video by shrinemaiden: DotS promo video

About our community
We got many different time zone players, but most of our players are from the EST and GTM time zones. We always try to spawn at least 4 vs 4 games, because they are the most fun. Generally we play the latest chinese version of the map. This might scare some people, but since the wiki is frequently updated , it shouldn't become an obstacle. The latest map is always updated in our IRC channel and we try to maintain the wiki as much as we can. If you are interested in playing a game of DoTS, feel free to drop in our IRC channel.

As support Koishi, don't forget to whore Jinkela/Tea.

<Helepolis> the rambo guide was funny
<Helepolis> it should be reposted Dormio

A QUICK GUIDE ON EFFECTIVE RAMBO BY DORMIO

This will just be a few pointers on how to rambo effectively, you need to learn by doing.

1. Don't pick a support.
This step is important. If you screw it up, you're destined to end up like Trance. (jk ilu Trance)

2. Ignore the minimap.
You don't have the time to give a fuck about what is happening elsewhere on the map WHEN YOU NEED YOUR FULL UNDIVIDED ON CHASING THOSE BITCHES THAT THINK THEY CAN GET AWAY FROM YOU. IS A TEAMMATE PINGING SOMETHING? IGNORE IT. YOU DO NOT GIVE A FUCK.

3. Do not communicate with teammates.
Silence is golden. Remember this rule, and remember it well. You need to concentrate on getting kills dammit. You can't waste those precious second(s) typing when you could be chasing those squishies.

4. Whore runes.
There are only 2 negative runes in the game, explosion/poison, compared to the 5 positive runes, regen/double damage/defence/invisibility/speed. The positive runes will save your life when you're diving into a 4v1 at the enemy tower.

5. Make sure your name is Hero999.
If you do not want to fail during your rambo attempt, this is the most important step. Disregarding this step will result in unavoidable failure.

Hero999 is one of the best players in our community.
Hero, Dular, and I like to rambo a lot.
Hero, unless I have godluck, has the most success with rambo'ing.

That's usually after he farms like 20 kills from ganking everyone, everywhere and jerks start derping against him.

I need more experience by battling against real people instead of cpu's
But I can't do that because of my bad internet connection.
It sucks  :(

Yeah.
Playing against the CPU, especially the CPU on the non-AI map, doesn't really help you develop your skills.

What support koishi? I just got Reitaisai and then just buying a bunch of green tea. Parasol is for people who are bad and cant last hit

Yup.
I always battle with the insane ones
But cpu's rarely use their good skills against me. They are pretty easy to beat. Except if it uses Alice. It can destroy a tower before I acquire my W skill. That is a lot of trouble

WRONG.

Parasol is for:

A) Providing a damage and armor aura to help your teammates deal more damage and take more punishment
B) It makes you charismatic with the aura effect
C) Cheapskates because the item build-up is wonderful

Yup.

Wait, there's a difference?

Anyway, my Sanae guide is in the midst of writing. I will post it soon.

The others manage to destroy a tower about when I was lv9 or 10.
I don't know what happened, but probably Alice just keep summoning her dolls so that she rarely gets attacked.
And destroyed the tower quickly.
That's why I vote Alice in the poll because she is overpowered.

Using Alice is hard though. You'll be wasting your time trying to assign different tasks to her dolls.
I guess cpu's has the advantage because they can do that quickly

I'm not saying that a good Alice isn't scary, because Alice in the hands of a skilled player is a monster.
But the CPU is terrible at DotS.
Like, seriously, Tanaka and I used to have competitions on who could rake up the most kills against CPUs. (Tanaka won with almost 60 kills while I had 50, 40 minute game)

Trance obv you've never seen support koishi, buying tea is much better and keeps ur other heros on the seige. while parasol provides a semi-decent aura which using jinkela can do the same thing and more. id rather seige longer then get an aura that doesnt stack. also tea heals everything even genji and using jinkela on him pwns

You said Parasol was for people who don't know how to last hit and are bad.

I didn't say jack shit about it being bad for Support Koishi.

I was proving that Parasol is a useful item in general.

Actually, if someone on the team is going to get a Frozen Frog, isn't it better to put it on a non-carry because it doesn't stack or require procs? All you need to do is tag someone with a ranged attack to get the full effect, and the stat boosts you get from it benefit squishies more. I would think a carry would want something that makes better use of their attack speed.

That is the more economical idea of using the frost orb item. But it requires the team knowing who will get it and playing accordingly.

Has anyone messed around with the kappa pistol yet? It looks neat, being so cheap and giving a nice armor bonus on top of that.

What kind of girls would you get it for?

(I'm just going to assume the phoenix wings are awesome)
