Dota 6.55 is out, oh my god.

The new Defense of the Ancients is out and so much is changed, maybe for the better, probably mostly for the worse. At least that is how it will be interpreted for some time to come. The changelog follows and it is ridiculously long. You can get the map at the getdota website.

DotA Tips: Taking a Tower

A photoshoped image for all dota versions around Battle.

This new series on Aonxe(dot)com is called DotA Tips. This series will give helpful tips that the average DotA player does not know about and hopefully will be able to improve your gameplay significantly. These tips will come probably four times a month or as frequent as I keep repeating myself on Ventrilo.

This weeks tip!

How to attack a tower and then drop tower agro when it starts attacking you. You may think that when you are killing that tower and it starts beasting you, “OMG RUN AWAY!” but you would be wrong!

Do you have any allied creeps around you? If so, just try to deny one of them, Attack+Click an allied creep, and then you magically lose tower agro! Its so simple, I know. If you try and it doesn’t work, try again! If the third time fails, then the game hates you and you should run away from the tower. :)

That’s it for today’s DotA tip, may it help you to rub dirt in the face of the enemy.

Setting Up Listchecker on Warcraft III

If you play Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne at all, then I know that you have heard of the most popular map on Battle.net, Defense of The Ancients. You can download the map here. If you have taken your game up to the next level from public games found in the custom game list to TDA games sponsored by Clan TDA (The clan responsible for maintaining the map) then you probably have heard of LC or listchecker. List checker is a great tool that creates a Virtual LAN that allows for a smooth lag-free game in most cases. The only problem with listchecker is that there is little documentation on how-to get it all up and running, and this can be a daunting task for the less technically inclined DOTA hosts out there.
