omniknights magic immune is way to long. longer then a fucking bkb.
[QUOTE=LtKyle2;40962528]omniknights magic immune is way to long. longer then a fucking bkb.[/QUOTE]
True, but the tradeoff is that Omniknight is unable to heal magic immune units, so it can be a curse in disguise if used at the wrong time.
[QUOTE=Hydrothemage;40962112]Skywrath looks really cool. But am I the only one who would've prefered if he still was an elven bird rider?
But I think he is a harpy not only because of warcraft 3 being a bird rider, I think its also because of vengeful spirit lore. It says that she lost HER wings.
But A bird rider still wouldve been cool.[/QUOTE]
True, but consider the fact that besides wild harpies, Warcraft III had no "Angelic" creatures. Valve made the Skywrath race concept, you could say "sophisticated zaelot harpies" or Dota's Angelfolk/Serapths and I guess they wanted to make a little balance in the looks. Given how we had "rider of the flying animal" hero i.e. Batrider, but no "Winged humanoid that always flies,[I] not just with a haste rune[/I]", this concept of Skywrath Mage is very much fitting, builds on Valve's lore (less Blizzard lawsuits) and expands on the Valve's idea of Dota's visuals, where silhouette is important and Skywrath, due to this design choice, has very distinguishable silhouette.
If they wanted to actually follow that particular Warcraft III concept, they could just remake Venge's backstory or rename Skywrath to like Skysong/Skyleige/ObligatorySkyrim Mage.
I once saw an Omniknight repelling a low-HP pudge so we couldn't stun him, but as the result he made it impossible for Pudge to deny himself so we just caught up to him and killed him with right-clicks.

Try diffusal blade.
[QUOTE=Perhaps;40961763]How much is a stumpy worth now that it's immortal? I just got one for 2 keys, is that a good trade?[/QUOTE]
It's worth maybe slightly more than before, but nowhere near what people think it's worth. (A courier being immortal for a day or two doesn't instantly make it super rare y'know)

Omniknight and this new Oracle guys are rather tricky just because of this. In theory you can deny self-denial for enemy Pudge or use it on your own Pudge so he takes no damage from his own Rot or can dismember in peace, but in unorganised enviroment it becomes a roulette', spinning over minds of players and landing on random result of how to approach it.

Satyr Trickster.

Does anyone actually use them as Chen/Ench? Or the mana burn ones?
Or the harpies? They actually look really scary with their long range low cooldown nukes.
I'll grab a satyr(the blue one) to mana burn solo offlaners. Shit's hilarious when people don't pay attention to small things like that.
does flak cannon hit targets out of vision range
also does it affect couriers?

Not 100% certain on out of vision part, but couriers are unaffected by Flak Cannon since March 14th 2013 .
snip then

I have a bit of an odd question about scripts: How would one be able to use -override_vpk on your own lobby, as opposed to doing the "Practice With Bots" option? Because I decided to multiply all of the Dire Creeps' stats by 50%, and I want to see if I could possibly solo it (most likely not) without any other hero interfering. However, I've only managed to get -override_vpk to work on "Practice With Bots".

Although it is more of a blessing to few certain Heroes.. like Slark Qop PA, they love it

They patched it? That's fuckin lame considering its a phys ability and not magic. I recall getting random courier kills in the mid lane last time I played Gyro, which was ages ago, thou I could see how that would be in the realm of "OP"

Slark can't go invisible under it though, can he.
ye he can why wouldnt he
Well, because BH can't, Medusa can't use her Spell Shield, a lot of stuff beneficial to the user doesn't work under Magic Immunity.
What's with Phantom Assassin being the go-to hero for most shit carries?

Kunkka's cleave hits couriers too.
Last night I played with one on my team that got a [i]16 minute Midas[/i].
edit:
AUTOMERGEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
[QUOTE=titopei;40960312]Don't drop it then[/QUOTE]
I don't think that's how it works.
[QUOTE=ForgottenKane;40963626]What's with Phantom Assassin being the go-to hero for most shit carries?[/QUOTE]
I think it's because if you get lucky (and farmed) you can instantkill someone when you blink on them.
[QUOTE=Clio;40963047]does flak cannon hit targets out of vision range

Just ran tests in main client for both Flak Cannon and Tidebringer.
Hitting targets out of vision range :
Flak Cannon - [B]No[/B]
Tidebringer - [B]Yes[/B]
Hitting couriers :
Flak Cannon - [B]No[/B]
Tidebringer - [B]No[/B]
Test in client if you have doubts, just make enemy Kunkka/Gyro and buy courier.
[QUOTE=ForgottenKane;40963626]What's with Phantom Assassin being the go-to hero for most shit carries?[/QUOTE]
Because she snowballs like a [b][i]motherfucker[/i][/b] if she gets a little lucky with crits.
Lost to some Facepunch stack that thinks I'm cute.
