hi[/QUOTE]
Taking the word faceless to another level.
[QUOTE=Gar~;40768081]anti-mage is a good pick against anybody

Lifestealer would eat him alive.

[QUOTE=devon_wargod;40770588]oh right
on the topic of antimage, my friend/team carry player got a 10 minute bfury as antimage
does this mean i can trust him with playing antimage[/QUOTE]
With or without Midas?
Just joking, but that's actually a very nice time to get a Battlefury. Anytime around or before 12 minutes is fairly standard and the best time to get one.
Just played with a lifestealer that skipped armlet and built butterfly... Wat.
Alright I'm taking a long ass break from this game, it's causing too much frustration for what it is
The new lycan summons look kinda like statues to me, or there is something about the fur texture that really bothers me
[QUOTE=Joey90;40770181]My tournament item used to say Dendi on it, now it just says unknown player from Na`Vi... Very sad.
Less bothered by the purple name since it's still clearly a special item[/QUOTE]

It's actually not that bad of a build, unless he got like Butterfly first item
Gives him a shitton of attack speed and resistance to physical damage

That's more of an issue... Hopefully it gets fixed!

But how is it better than AC? A tiny bit of extra damage that is easily compensated for by the minus armour aura...
I guess the evasion is nice, but still seems weird...

old guide but the stats are the same so I think the math should still apply
[quote=http://www.playdota.com/guides/be-a-real-tank-destroyer-]
If you compare what Assault Cuirass and what Butterfly gives you for the survivability side, you have to compare the effect of +15 armor versus +30% Evasion.
The damage coefficient in the positive armor value region is :
C(A) = 1/(1 + 0.06*A), where C(A) is the damage coefficient, A the armor.
One wants to know at which value of armor the +30% Evasion effect is equal to +15 of armor, so one gets the following equation :
C(A+15) = 0.7*C(A)
With a few manipulations, it's easy to find the armor value :
1/(1+0.06*(A+15)) = 0.7/(1+0.06*A)
=> 1+0.06*A = 1.33 + 0.042*A
=> 0.018*A = 0.33
=> A = 18.33
It seems to be quite a big value for N'aix. Indeed, a naked level 25 N'aix has only 10.7 of armor.
But the problem above favors Assault Cuirass by neglecting one important fact ; to be more accurate, one has to take into account that Butterfly also adds armor through the +30 Agility, so one has to start with the following equation :
1/(1+0.06*(A+15)) = 0.7/(1+0.06*(A+0.14*30))
=> A = 4.33
This calculation shows that when the Tank Destroyer reaches 4.33 of armor, getting an Assault Cuirass grants as much survivability as getting Butterfly. Beyond that value, Butterfly is simply better, and you go beyond that value because you do get Armlet. The only case I can think of where getting Assault Cuirass is BETTER than getting Butterfly for the survivability is when there's massive armor reduction coupled with a carry with Monkey King Bar with True Strike activated, such as when an enemy Slithereen has cast Amplify Damage on you and then Phantom Assassin attacks you with a Monkey King Bar in her inventory.[/quote]

Very happy for the man (adamcbeamish.com).
Shame he hasn't released any hero portraits for ages. They were all so sexy.
ok i have one last really stupid question
where am i supposed to put dk
I see most teams put him mid, yet due to his lack of ganking ability other than his stun (but it's 150 range without his ult) I don't see it as very valuable, and I know I can't send him to the offlane because he's melee and farm-dependant
which leaves these options: solo safelane, defensive tri, aggressive tri, or throw my beliefs out the window and put him mid

he's not gonna do very well solo safelane against most common solo offlaners
defensive tri-lane is kind of a waste unless they have an aggressive tri because he's so damn tanky
aggressive tri-lane can work although he really wants a fast level 6 so it's sub-optimal
mid is pretty good because he's good along with someone who has more dps as his is pretty shit before he gets a lot of items up, but all he really needs is 6 to wreck a tower. he's definitely not an easy mid though, ends up being a wash against most people even with bottle crowing. it's basically just stay in mid until you get 6 and then push like a motherfucker. he's also pretty decent in a simple dual safe lane, especially if the support is active and doesn't leech too much xp.

or say fuck it and use the super secret roaming DK strat by getting orb of venom and using the longest level 1 stun not counting mirana arrow

Had lifestealer on single draft, seeing only one teammate picked a support and i had nothing but carries I ended up picking him.
I barely put any effort into jungling, hell, I wasted 2 minutes waiting for the chance to gank someone with open wounds, got midas a mintue late, yet, I ended up 12-0 and a decent gpm
It's sad when the only enemy who doesn't seem to be totally braindead is the support
