Yes, but it goes through it if they've already used it.

[QUOTE=KnowProblem;36006310]What are your opinions on a Brewmaster build? I've been playing him a lot lately, and usually my endgame goal is to have Boots of Travel, Blink, Aghs, Drum of Endurance, Vlads, and Heart. Any recommendations, or is that pretty sound?[/QUOTE] get a vanguard instead of vlad

[QUOTE=Dr.Scrake;36006375]get a vanguard instead of vlad[/QUOTE] Ugh. No. Vanguard is shit on brewmaster. Vlads isn't bad on him but I personally would go AC after core. Vanguard is a bic nono on him. Auras help out brewlings a lot.

Why is it so bad on him? I've seen quite a lot of people getting it

Bounty Hunter: Power Treads, Medallion, Desolator, BKB into more damage. Not a fan of Battlefury on him. Too much of an "I need to farm" item for an "I need to gank" character.

[QUOTE=Dr.Scrake;36006429]Why is it so bad on him? I've seen quite a lot of people getting it[/QUOTE] There are far better items to get on him to make you tanky. Getting drums + aghs on him will give you plenty of hp + your brewlings will also become tankier. You are more focused on getting things that make his ult better than making him better.

"brewlings" lol Clever.

If you're going to be ganking heroes alone than a cleave won't really do much for you even if his crit does a lot during teamfights.

And honestly, Medallion/Track/Deso combo is so hilarious. You'll put so many people into neg armor and they'll just melt.

[QUOTE=RagerTrader;36006769]Does -armor actually increase damage?[/QUOTE] Yeah why do you think Slardar is picked in comp games ?

Haha just lost because our Bounty Hunter lost his Rapier after getting too cocky. He was doing like a thousand damage per slash, yet still died after running into their base for kills. We lost the game shortly after since the teams were more or less even. The worst loss ever.

It's also team's duty to protect the carrier, be it the "carry", mekansm carrier, Pipe carrier, or big ultimate guys that haven't yet used them.

No, it was entirely his fault, no excuses.

I need help drawing his arms, I have no idea what pose to give em :C [img_thumb]http://i.imgur.com/rS0O3.png[/img_thumb]

[QUOTE=KnowProblem;36008613]Thanks for the advice, I'll try replacing Vlad's with Assault Cuirass and see how it goes.[/QUOTE] Well you don't have to completely replace vlads. If someone is faster than you at getting an assault cuirass get the vlads. If you feel like you need to be tankier rush the heart and skip the vlads if someone already has assault after core.

Got matched with Maruhai over matchmaking, needless to say we won. When I asked if he was from facepunch he said "who the fuck are you" [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/Ppfto.jpg[/IMG]

I am the worst Broodmother ever.

[QUOTE=Maruhai;36008914]I am the worst Broodmother ever.[/QUOTE] I can push to barracks in 20 minutes as broodmother and dominate the lane...but if my team doesn't get any shit done in other lanes then my game goes fucking awful after the 40 minute mark.

[QUOTE=Murdoco;36008957]I can push to barracks in 20 minutes as broodmother and dominate the lane...but if my team doesn't get any shit done in other lanes then my game goes fucking awful after the 40 minute mark.[/QUOTE] Teach me how.

[QUOTE=RagerTrader;36006769]Does -armor actually increase damage?[/QUOTE] Negative armor values: Damage Increase = 1 - 0.94 ^ (-armor) Examples: -5 armor: 1 - 0.94 ^ (--5) = 1 - 0.94 ^ 5 = 0.266 = 26.6% -10 armor: 1 - 0.94 ^ (--10) = 1 - 0.94 ^ 10 = 0.461 = 46.1% Negative armor has a cap of -20 (71% damage increase). Reducing the armor even more will not change the damage increase.

[QUOTE=Maruhai;36008980]Teach me how.[/QUOTE] It's not that hard...Just get a soul ring..power treads..orchid..bkb and all that other stupid shit and just push. Spam your Q every time it's up and your soul ring is up. Use it for last hitting, pushing, and killing. It does a shit ton of damage and when you have a soul ring you can fuck people up with it and kick them out of the lane. Now if the enemy buys wards then you may have to buy some yourself. I don't like her though. I feel like I never get enough farm and my team has no clue how to push other lanes and it feels like I'm playing 1v5 pushing and my team doesn't understand how to split push so they are all trying to help me when they fucking shouldn't. I've yet to win as broodmother because of stupid team mates and just not being able to carry late game as her. I'm sure there is something I'm doing wrong but I don't really care because I don't enjoy her playstyle anyway.

Broodmother is a strong hero, but she is quite reliant on her team being able to cope 4v5 essentially. She's kinda a boring hero to play in my opinion, she's fun when laning against someone, but when she's in her comfort zone, she is pretty much Soul Ring, Spiderlings, Right Click, rinse and repeat.

So. I, after having played for over 1200 hours over a period of 8 months try to search for a game. I get matched with some guys. I check their wins. 2 wins, 2 wins, 6 wins, 9 wins. What?

Every single person but him had under 5 wins and he just went silent for a bit and eventually went "what..."
