I quite like Outworld Destroyer
He's especially fun when you're getting nearly 300 INT as him
[QUOTE=ProgramFiles;37863914]Considering silencer has mediocre early game damage, I'm very happy to see he'll be able to steal 2 INT instead of 1 by just being near the dead hero.
Full team fight 10 INT steal go![/QUOTE]
i wish last word was like fixed bloodstone
I hate getting a kill as him and getting no intelligence
He has 600 range
the radius on the steal is 750
Dota 2 is like drinking old-ish milk:
your not sure you really like it at times but you still drink it while you still question if its ok to drink.

I wish I was kidding when I say I was doing just this before I read it.

His q is blocked by bkb right? I remember seeing an od vs a whole str team and he didn't do much damage.

I'm having a little bit of trouble figuring out what Zet's role is.
I guess he's a pusher support? (Can use clone for double items/double damage/etc)

He's item-based utility ganker/carry/support hero, depending on which items he goes for.
I will guarantee that Necro3 will be core item on him.

He can do stuff against a str team. His ultimate will decimate them if he gets some farm, and every INT lost for a str hero is worse than for an int, as int heroes usually have some manapool to spare still, while keeping tidehunter at 150 max mana can be hurtful.
Just had a game where we were winning for first 15 minutes. Losing for 20 more minutes (lost 2 rax.) And then defended our base with 2 rax down for 15 minutes. Then killed rosh and throned the enemy. So we came back from a 2 rax disadvantage with a NP on the enemy team. Game is stressful.
Oh my god, I just read all of the patchnotes... Phantom Lancer and Doom Bringer have some MASSIVE freaking buffs. I already play Doom a lot and he did not need much of a buff at all, but these new changes can make him one of the most proficient farmers in the game. Now only that, but his E now takes off %20 and a fixed amount of your max health instead of just a fixed amount, so it scales better.
Also, huge Aegis change. You now only have it for 6 minutes instead of ten, so 4 minutes where no-one has an Aegis.
I'm more interested in how the whole meta could change simply due to the fact there's two bans first phase and 3 bans second now.

And that Lycan might not be banned so often.

Naga is probably going to take the number 1 ban spot.
Can someone explain whats wrong with my dota? I've verified the cache, and nothing is wrong. Every game, almost all of the heroes are glitched visually in some manner. It's really getting on my nerves.

Isn't that still pudge by default? Or is it only HoN that can't tackle him?

Saw an Outworld who did this but didn't get any HP boosting items at all.
Nyyyyyyyyyx nyx nyx nyx nyx.

The only pudge banning that occurs is probably dendi respect ban, and that is usually a final ban.
What exactly is a respect ban?
Is it just basically just acknowledging that someone on the opposing team is a good ___?
Remember seeing lots from iG but I wasn't 100% on what it was.

It was because Dendi played such a good pudge earlier in the tournament.

Basically it's banning a very uncommon hero just because you know the enemy team is way too good at it.
Guys, a little software-sided help if you won't mind. I am playing Dota 2 in borderless window and I've been using GameCompanion thingy to set gamma, as in-game gamma only works with fullscreen.
Now, GameCompanion creator hasn't updated it for a while, a year I believe, and sotware doesn't feature custom gamma settings, just "normal, dimmed,etc". Is there any software alike or any other way to set gamme in-game without leaving the borderless window mode ? I could use it being a bit darker so that night-time feels right.
Why is lifesteal a "core" build on Huskar when it doesn't heal you while using burning spear? Isn't the point of burning spear is to have it on autocast to stack it on enemies as much as possible?

when you do a lot of damage, you lifesteal for a lot. when huskar has 10hp left he hits really hard and lifesteals a shitload, and burning spears is trash dont even take a skillpoint in it

Disagree. Burning spears hurt a lot of used correctly, especially early to mid.
What good huskarr does, if he gets lifesteal, is toggling. Toggle burning sprears on full hp, dropped to 1/2, or 1/3 , toggle it off so lifesteal can work. That maximizes his damage output.

It synergizes with berserker's blood and moridiggian so that he is constantly losing HP, thus hitting harder and faster. The lifesteal and life loss meet at a point and unless he is hit with burst damage or stuns, he tends to keep on throwing spears until they're dead while maintaining like 30% of his health.
