[QUOTE=Maruhai;41260286]but warlock is best played as a mid ?[/QUOTE]
uhh no
he's very strong as a babysitter due to his really good auto and good heals.
just because he'll hit 6 earlier doesn't mean diddly. its best to give mid to a different hero.

all his abilities are nigh pathetic without levels plus he's going to need some remarkable form of mana regen if he's gonna keep up his fatal bonds and heal usage
his great benefit from fast levels and easy lasthitting/harassing makes him, to me, seem legitimately better with some form of solo lane
he has no real disable until he's level 6, and upheaval is kinda massive shit anyway, especially compared to his other skills
So since I'm muted, I've decided to work on guides.
Particularly one for a good solo offlane Warlock build I tried today as shown in the game above.

In depth explanation: Start off with the typical regen, branches, get courier (or wards for your team) and a ring of protection. What you'll want to do is go to the suicide lane (this is only if you have to solo offlane, keep this in mind.) Farm up a ring of health and a Soul Ring recipe, but don't make the Soul Ring yet. Turn the Protection Ring and the Health Ring into Tranquils for a little for survivability until you farm up your energy booster. After you get said Energy Booster, disassemble your tranquils, turn them into arcanes and keep the Protection Ring and Health Ring. Turn the health ring into a Soul Ring now by buying a Sage's mask in the side shop when you have the money, this way, you can always have the mana to heal yourself with Shadow Word (That's what the soul ring is FOR, of course.) Now use the Protection Ring to either build a Ring of Basilius or an Aquila depending on if your team has a Bas or not. From then on it's self-explanatory as to what you do.

crystal maiden and dazzle are bad without levels, but you don't see them going mid
teamfights don't usually happen until about level 9 or 10 at the earliest anyway, so getting a relaly early chaotic offering means nothing
and saying you get it for the disable is stupid, it's a 1 second stun.
after being 1w10l with ursa i randomed him

haste speed build is so legit
[QUOTE=Samiam22;41260883]crystal maiden and dazzle are bad without levels, but you don't see them going mid[/QUOTE]
well in the case of cm she does have a disable available to her at just level 1
as for dazzle I have seen dazzle mid a lot, if I ever see him playing a traditional support role it's usually in a pub

You... you haven't seen how ridiculously scary a mid Dazzle is, have you.
[QUOTE=Zoran;41257914]If your opponent is retarded enough to stand in hook range and is squishy as fuck, you can easily win a lane as Pudge. I don't care if you're not expected to, it's pretty common. :v:[/QUOTE]
Or if they ignore you as you walk into melee range at level 4 and then just follow them around with rot and 180 pure damage to finish it off.

You should probably get Euls or Hex or (or forcestaff because nobody else on your team made one and it'd be great against Lifestealer) before scepter. Especially considering 2 of them will be very resistant to magic damage and then there's also bristleback.
It's funny that they only had one stun though.
Kotl should have made the veil instead of shadow blade and you'd have another 3k to spare for earlier ghost scepter or free Euls.

Can someone explain how to land kunkkas ship. Does it always go to the max range or does where I click matter?
[QUOTE=ManinaBugSuit;41261612]Can someone explain how to land kunkkas ship. Does it always go to the max range or does where I click matter?[/QUOTE]
It goes 1000 range in front of you.
And spawns 1000 behind you.
[QUOTE=Gilgadood;41259684]Just got out of a game playing as Dirge, man I love Dirge. Idk how we did it but Axe and I survived a trilane and got first blood on the carry. Dirge has to be one of the top first blood-ers, Im sure most of my Dirge games Ive either gotten first blood or assisted in getting it. Dirge really really lives up to his title.
And why is it that no one uses a mic, it seems like a great way to communicate in a game paced like this. Plus it makes me feel so awkward being the only one talking[/QUOTE]
Dirge is one of, if not [B]the[/B] most powerful early/midgame heroes. That Tombstone is so ungodly powerful early/midgame, and is the reason for the 3D rule: Don't Dive Dirge. The problem usually isn't in killing him, the problem is killing him and surviving the bajillion Tombstone zombies. I fucking love running him in lane with Zeus/Lina who'll easily nuke someone down to Zombie killrange.
[QUOTE=Maruhai;41260286]but warlock is best played as a mid ?[/QUOTE]
Warlock is fantastic anywhere for a variety of reasons. He really benefits from the fast levels and solofarm (mid), his heal is great in/against a trilane yet he's also an excellent babysitter because of his large attack range, easy animation (denying) and high base damage. Thanks to his heal it's also almost impossible to harass him/his lane partner out of the lane.
Upheaval sits at the back of the skill-bus along with its good pals Shrapnel and Midnight Pølse.
Pølse
[QUOTE=Mercenary-;41262898]Upheaval sits at the back of the skill-bus along with its good pals Shrapnel and Midnight Pølse.[/QUOTE]
What. Midnight Pulse is an incredibly damaging ability?
[QUOTE=Mercenary-;41262898]Upheaval sits at the back of the skill-bus along with its good pals Shrapnel and Midnight Pølse.[/QUOTE]
Erm, Upheaval is insanely good? It's just that Bonds is always better and Shadow Word is insane early/midgame, WAY better than Upheaval. Shrapnel's just garbage.
the sniper buffs are just hilarious though. he's just 50x worse in pubs but to anyone with a clue he's still a squishy little bitch. "oh his W and E are so powerful that everyones ignoring shrapnel, that means we should buff shrapnel!"
What the fuck is up with valves server,everyone got like 300 ms and 60% pocket loss for no reason,and one guy on our team abandomed,which left me with a lost game.

i've lost hope
i didn't say anything disruptive the entire game
all my typings were just miss calls or typing random shit in teamchat like 'puge is hear', 'my claver is shap', 'bighoox 2013', 'xaxaxaxa' 'worht it' etc etc
at the end i put random russian text into the chatbox and had someone off the enemy team say 'oh that's why he was so fucking stupid'
i even commended naix with a quote of him saying 'fuck off pudge you stupid cunt'
