Facade

They won't, there's nothing wrong with it, it's common sense that heroes that don't require items but do require levels would be good in this game type and theres nothing you can exploit with Blackhole. Remember as well that the 6.77 parity changes were brought with the update too, so not so much Drow or Centaur anymore. Pretty much all the cosmetics from the crate released are amazing this time, especially that Bounty Hunter mask. It's not a guarantee, there's a chance that you get one from the second gift you recieve for killing the Golden Greevil.

Jesus Christ no. Battlefury Sven and Kunkka is in the same build pool at Midas, Aghs, Refresher Furion. You're wasting what is essentially "BKB money" on an item that Cleaves about 1/4 the area that Great Cleave does and about 1/10 of Tidebringer, in which you're literally just buying it for the Damage & Regen. Battlefury is ALWAYS a farming tool, assuming you're not against a PL and planning a Magnus + Cleave combo then you get rid of it once you need the item slot, you don't buy it just for the damage when there are Desolators, MKB's and Crits available. There's a general rule when trying for a Battlefury, if you can get it in 15 minutes, do, if you can't, don't. Like Midas, the later it comes the later you increase your GPM. If you can't get it, either Deso or Diffusal are fine, though it's a case of pick your poison since both the build-ups are horrible There was a pub game a while ago where Dendi played Lone Druid, had 9XXcs in 50 minutes, 6 Battlefuries on the Druid and 6 on the bear and just challenged people to a 1 v 1 mid. Also don't get Vlads, get a HotD.

Doom mid is back. Treant Protector's auto attack now hits like a run-away Freight Train. Sven is still strong, though probably means he can't jungle level 1 anymore, without assistance at least. Centaur now countered by Force Staff. Warlock is now even more of a pain in the arse to lane against.

Funny that my most played heroes way back when were Lich and Dragon Knight, hell, I even remember telling you over steam that I'd found a new favourite hero. As for newbie heroes; Supports:- - Lich - Orge Magi - Tidehunter Semicarries:- - Juggs - Skeleton King That really is about it for suggestions of people that are 100% new to the game.

You mentioned Ring of Health being part of TB's, it's actually a Ring of Regeneration. Might want to add in a Ring of Basilius as support and turn it into a Vlads later on

It's mainly due to people picking, getting a 30 minute Linken's, Orchid or Battlefury and then being useless mid game having only 15 minutes worth of farm. I think AM had the lowest winrate this month most likely for that reason.

Last week they reduced the follow time of neutrals so that it's only really possible to pull 2-3 maximum creepsinto the nuetral camps, it also made stacking a much more precise technique, I'm not 100% of the new times for pulling yet. Also, with Valve's love of references I am really disheartened that when Alchemist kills Timbersaw he doesn't say

Pure damage is negatable by Magic Immunity (See also: Outworld Destroyer)

Shredder in test build.

ok

It's common courtesy to not pick heroes with global capabilities, which also includes Spectre which is sometimes overlooked, it's also standard that Hand of Midas, Blink Dagger, Linken's Sphere and BKB are banned

Infinite Mana, no spell cooldowns.

ok

To be fair, since DotA (disregarding Aeons of Strife) got the whole genre going, it's completely fair to call a game with the same premise a "DotA clone". In my opinion it is much for informative as to what type of game it is to people the least bit familiar with WC3 or eSports than the RIOT genre of "Moba", which describes just about every Versus Multiplayer game ever.

Yes.

No.

Nice, by the time I noticed they restocked, they only had XL for both Drow and Axe with L for only Tide and I'm not paying the shipping for one T-shirt.

Jesus, looking at some of my posts and suggestions in the earlier pages of this thread is so embarassing. Looking at the hero stats on Dotabuff, unsuprisingly Drow has taken the topspot for most played hero to a new 2nd Pudge but when did this new craze of picking Sniper happen, it feels like there is virtually a Sniper in every single game I play now, even in -sd. I knew he was always popular for some reason but 4th most picked is crazy.
