[QUOTE=Vodkavia;49513190]so like keep a stash of clarities or a bottle on the courier and use it on myself from the courier I guess?
shit I think I gained half an MMR just thinking that.[/QUOTE]
Should only buy them if you need them (early sustain, regenning while base is under siege)
[QUOTE=Vodkavia;49513170]shit what, i always thought it was bad juju to buy shit like clarities and tangos after the laning stage because they're not slot efficient.[/QUOTE]
When a team plays together, using teleportation scrolls arround the map to help other lanes, keeping their hp and mana filled up is always important. So no matter if they spend gold on them, they will always be together to destroy the opponent on a teamfight and take their tower, limiting their farm.
On a pub game where you don't know anyone and dumbfucks are doing stupid shit, you shouldn't waste the gold you can hardly get on salves, tangos, mangos or clarities.
If I've got enough gold to afford it, I tend to buy and use a Salve when I get back to the Fountain to regen, lets me go back to the fight just that little bit faster. Gotten a kill/prevented people from dying several times now with that.
[QUOTE=delular100;49513196][B]Is it me or the new meta is being a tryhard?[/B]
On the last 4 patches there were always at least 4 ridiculous overpowered heroes every match, but now (if we ignore Shadow Fiend) they are not repeating themselves too much. Yet, every pub game i go the enemy team is being 200% agressive, almost every game.
So, that's it now? Tryhading on hero picks and agressive behavior on lane is the [U]new meta[/U]?[/QUOTE]
tryhard isnt a bad thing, I guess if you are upset people are playing to win and think its an issue you probably shouldn't play such a highly competitive game. I am not sure why if I want to play a trilane with a top tier setup and then roam mid to help out my lane its the norm to cuss me in allchat and cry about how im ruining the game...

This is really important when you are defending rax, salve up boys and get back in the fight

Is it possible to buy a bottle, use its charges, sell it, them TP back?
[QUOTE=peterson;49513808]Is it possible to buy a bottle, use its charges, sell it, them TP back?[/QUOTE]
If you do that, the bottle will not be sold for the full price.

Decided to start working on a Rubick cosplay. I'll make the mask first just in case I can't be bothered to make an entire clothing setup, the mask itself will be neat to have on a shelf or something. Will make another post when there is progress to be seen.
I go to the workshop 3 times a week and my estimate is 3-4 weeks, so I might post in two weeks or a month or so.

It is. It gives you 2-3 seconds extra which can be crucial in keeping rax.

"Tryharding" (picking whataever is strong this patch) has always been a thing, even before ranked was introduced. One of the reasons of why ranked All Pick has turns to pick is because people used to wait until the last 10 seconds to counterpick the enemy team, and at times it would get as stupid as neither team picking after the timer had reached 0.
[QUOTE=Quq;49512862]It's worrying the amount of people who don't know that the first hit of Omnislash no longer ministuns[/QUOTE]
Gee one change made 2 patches, to something that has been there for a long ass time.

Well, it's a big deal, and I'm inclined to believe that anyone with thousands upon thousands of hours in dota reads every patch note in great detail, especially since there's a few days of buffer between patch notes and release.

Yeah I Know, Used to remember every single change, nowdays I don't care as much, and I forget the changes made for heroes I don't play.
Also Funny how I can remember the cast range nerf of omnislash, but not the ministun :v:
I didn't even know you could cast bloodlust on towers but apparently you can and have been able to for a while
[QUOTE=kiloy;49516237]I didn't even know you could cast bloodlust on towers but apparently you can and have been able to for a while[/QUOTE]
Bloodlust + Frost Armor towers are monstrous earlygame.
don't know if old but try setting your nick to
npc_dota_hero_hero_bio
while replacing hero
npc_dota_hero_rubick_bio for example
[QUOTE=Yahnich;49517352]would something like item_dota_heart_bio work? whatever the equivalent reference code is[/QUOTE]
Any string that the game's coded to replace should work
So far, this patch is quite literally just pick invoker and/or Anti-mage for a 99% winrate.
I might stop suggesting people to pick spectre instead of PA

that game was such a shitfest, we threw hardcore near the end and almost due to an awful fight and losing a rapier.
I'm wondering if people realise how shitty the radiance octarine manta alch build is, since you syphon all the farm and your team ends with sub 500gpm.

if you're an idiot that pushes back all lanes and farms exclusively your jungle sure
alch doesnt have enough of an impact if he doesnt go big fat radiance farmer build. it even doubles as an early-game fighting build because the radiance damage will still be relevant and you're naturally tanky through octarines buildup and chemical rage
[editline]12th January 2016[/editline]
naga siren has the same problem where a bad player can just hog all the farm to themselves to the point where they're 1v5ing. its not the fault of the build

I see.
I have yet to see a good alchemist pulling off that build, farm alone won't make you win if your teammates are more starved than african kids.

Anti-mage?? Anti-mage is only popular in the <4k skill bracket and even then his pick rate hasn't really changed at all. It's actually lower than when leshrac and storm were popular.

Pugna.
Only reason to not is if that hero just doesn't work for you. In all the times I've attempted to play Invoker I just cannot make that hero work, even back in the 30/30 Alacrity days and the 900 range forged spirit days.

First thing that came to mind was that video which showed someone playing with the guitar hero controller as "invoker live cam"
Second thing was that invoker trainer someone made like 4 years ago :v:

i'd play micro heroes more if i hadn't rebound myself into a corner where i never use tab-select. and my willingness to keep my binds as is outweighs my willingness to not repick meepo
