Napkin Dust reacted to <Witty Name> in Dota General
m.c. witty coming at you with the NEW META:
If you're up against an all-melee enemy lineup, grab techies. Have him buy nothing but couriers. Place the couriers around your jungle and lanes. Give them some clarities so that it looks like you're just a clueless team that can't manage couriers. Then, plant some mines under them.
cruise your way to a 20 minute victory

Warding is one of the things in Dota 2 that takes a while to get a feel for. Where you should be warding will change depending on the situation in the game you're playing, the same goes for when you should be warding.
The three most common types of warding are:
Defensive Warding Offensive Warding River Warding Defensive warding is primarily focused on giving you and your allies vision on your side of the map. You usually ward defensively when you're playing up against heavily gank-oriented lineups or if you're playing with extremely farm-dependent cores (Hyper carries such as Spectre for example). Common ward spots for defensive wards are at the entrances to your team's Jungle and your team's ancient creeps. Defensive warding is also usually the thing you do if you're behind and wish to take engagements near your own towers and your own highground, for maximum efficiency.
Offensive warding is the exact opposite. It focuses on giving you and your allies vision on the enemy side of the map, so you can get easy pick-offs on enemy cores either in lane or in jungle. Offensive warding is usually done when you're playing a heavily gank-oriented lineup, which relies on getting kills to snowball or if the enemy team has a heavy farming hyper carry that needs to be shut down. Offensive warding is also good for sniping couriers and in general getting intel on how the enemy team are progressing in terms of items. Usually offensive wards are placed in the enemy jungle, near the enemy ancient creeps, in between towers in enemy lanes or in the enemy base... Outside of tower range of course.
River warding is what the name implies, wards that overlook the river. They fall into a mixture of both defensive and offensive wards, as the river is the middle-ground of the map. River wards are probably the most commonly placed wards in the entire game as they are used to keep tabs on rune spawns, jungle entrances, river ganks and Roshan. It is very standard at all skill levels of Dota, to place one of your two starting wards as a river ward. Arguably, River wards are the most "value for money" wards, as a single ward can give you information on runes, Roshan and incoming ganks through the river, That being said, they're also the ward type most susceptible to being dewarded, so be ready to defend them if it comes to that.
There are also some less common warding types such as Lane wards or Camp wards. Lane wards are used to give your cores a helping hand by granting them vision over their entire lane, making incoming teleports to the enemy tower and enemy support rotations easy to see. Camp wards are used to block enemy jungle/ancient creep camps. Strong if you want to mess with the enemy jungler's progression or if you want to prevent the enemy supports from pulling, but mainly relevant to offlane core players.
As for when you should be warding: Usually when there's a spot of downtime in your game. If a big teamfight has occurred or if your team is invading the enemy jungle, grab some wards and plant them while you're safe around your allies.
Ideally, you always want to have wards active on the map.

As much as I disagree with like all of UKIP's policies, getting 1 seat from 3.8 million votes is ridiculous. At least this is stirring up more interest in electoral reform

well to be fair, we all know World War III will be started by Walmart vs Target.
Target, of course, will lose, because their logo is a bullseye and their enemies will know where to aim

I recently learned that my drama teacher had a cat... and ate it...
He had some Asian neighbors who killed it and fed it to him in egg rolls.
The only reason he knows is because he heard one of their children say "Mama kill cats in backyard and make egg roll!"

The easiest way to make an interview less nerve wracking is to just make a friendly but professional first impression. Doing that can help put both parties at ease and establish a tone that'll help make things go smoothly. Shake the interviewer's hand, smile, make eye contact, introduce yourself, speak clearly, and first and foremost be sure to pee on everything in the interviewer's office to quickly establish your dominance.
Do that and I'm sure you'll be fine.

Napkin Dust reacted to Raison d'être in Ferguson. What?
I feel bad for the blacks that aren't rioting. Being told by some privileged "journalist" your race is too stupid and impulsive to peacefully organize and instead must SMASH WHITEY SMASH!!!! would make me feel like shit.
