[QUOTE=Nestophales;41229550]Blocking a max of 80 damage 7 times isn't that useful [B]lategame[/B]. Treant is very popular right now and in every game I've faced him or had him on my team he's fairly useless in the lategame aside from his ult(or having support items like pipe/mek) Living armor is very strong in every other stage of the game but when you have a Doom/Veno/Viper/DS/Jakiro(the list goes on and on) then Living Armor gets burned off in no time.[/QUOTE]
But it doesn't matter how fast it gets burned off, it can still block 560 damage. I'm pretty sure that makes it stronger than any other heal in the game.
A max of 560 doesn't mean it will always block 560. As for strongest heal? Haha no. One, its not a guaranteed heal and two it's a HoT over 15s. Even if you take the full 15 sec duration you only get 195 hp.

This is so true. People forget that you can burn it away with low damage attacks or low damage DoT's so that your high damage spells can bypass it, like how you'd deal with a TA's refraction. A Jakiro's liquid fire or venomancer poison sting/plague wards or any sort of cleave damage can burn it away easily. It can certainly be a huge save, and can make up for some otherwise suicidal dives and ganks, but it's not the holy grail that people make it out to be. The reason it seems powerful is that it works well with the current ganking meta, and allows for risky hero picks with less of the risk (the trade off being that one of your heroes is more of an influence on the game than a participant)
I like how Sniper looks into his scope now when he autoattacks.

Most likely some changes to the guild system or the store/backpack icons being bugged

Will attempt to compare what I can, had to pause the update so I could make a shadow copy.
[editline]28th June 2013[/editline]
If the merge hasn't been lost, here's what's changed (will be edited):
- client.dll in \bin\
- steam.inf (version control)
- 01_000 VPK
- 01_021, 022, and 023 VPKs
- 01_dir VPK
It was more white icons.
Seems you cant zoom in on hero chase when spectating anymore.
The 01_000 VPK appears to have reflected the same changes located in the likely associated schema update: [url]https://github.com/SteamDatabase/SteamTracking/commit/ab3c89673af120c96632285614886ca9b022b034[/url]
021, 022, and 023 were uncomparable by WinMerge (and comparing in N++ would likely result in BSoD).
You're probably freaking out a bit too much, all those white icons add up to quite a bit.
fucking hell
I hate it when one of your team mates is a big dumb baby and can't handle losing so he just afks
Died as SD.
Notice Magus I was fighting has Soul Catcher (level 4) and 5 stacks of Shadow Poision (level 4).
He had around 400 hp and was bottling up.

I thought this was resolved with Low priority...
So was there any reason given for the Uldorak's Hide and Armor of Sir Davion sets being removed from the store?
guys I started up dota and the second everything loaded "YOUR GAME IS READY" popped up
I hadn't even queued for a game yet what the fuck

Happened like that too for someone else, he was just standing around, so I invited him to my party.
Find he goes in game, and I'm like "wtf dude"
He replies with "wtf i didn't even queue or accept a game is ready and suddenly i'm in a game with shitty teammates"
What a great way to start off Dota, right?
[QUOTE=Gar~;41222192][B]I always play Wex Exort Invoker[/B] but i think Quas Exort is a great build for learning Invokers. You know, the ones who do the Valve recommended Bracer rush into Drum/Force Staff. Ice Wall, Cold Snap, Forge Spirit and Sunstrike have the most spell synergy out of his builds and with a bit of practise you can pull the combo off every time. And to be fair its probably Invoker's best combination - Gives him some tankiness to compliment his game impact especially with his Exort damage and QE's skills provide great crowd control and damage. 4/5 times QE invoker is the best bet so its probably best to go QS and practise that combo

really though i think Windrunner is a really nice practice tool[/QUOTE]
:suicide:
[QUOTE=Lone Wolf807;41233337]:suicide:[/QUOTE]
I used to go Wex Exort invoker when I was new and terrible.
Then I found out Quas Exort was way better due to forge spirits, cold snap and such
[QUOTE=MaxisOp;41232911]I thought this was resolved with Low priority...[/QUOTE]
evidently not
maybe I'm just in the worst of the worst because I play like once a month

It's conditional, no shit, but without Dots to burn it, it is by far stronger than pretty much any other heal spell. And it's global and has no mana cost. It will instant win you laning phase if you don't have a counter to it.

it's wickedplayer dude
Ok so I seem to playing nothing but Naga Siren and I've gotten pretty good at ensnaring people and putting large groups to sleep to escape and stuff.
However, whenever I go one on one with someone, I tend to get out DPS'd, even after using ensnare + mirror image + rip tide in the early game.
What's something I can work toward in the early game that could really beef up my damage?
[editline]29th June 2013[/editline]
I know there's tons of items that increase damage, but the really good ones cost like 3000-6000 gold which is quite a bit and my gold output isn't super high.
