Winning and losing lanes are pretty clear terms.
If you lost mid it means the enemy got more last hits and denies than you, or if you needed both your supports to help you the entire time but didn't get any kills or deny farm, things like that.

120fps is smoother than 60fps on a 60hz monitor.

That's what I'm saying, even though sometimes it's COMPLETELY useless (say, you need to regen health with bottle so you can stay in lane and actually pose a threat), the overall usefulness of the rune is superior to that of an illusion rune. I see the illusion rune as a generalist rune, you can use it to boost your right click damage, your health pool for harass or pushing, blocking enemies so that you're faster than them, makeshift wards, fucking with enemy intel, etc.

this isnt a sudden obssession, mid has always been considered the #1 skill intensive role of dota where the best of the best pit themselves in a 1v1
of course now supports are rotating mid so this isn't as true. but still a lot of people consider winning mid the highlight of their game. like "how could my team lose this for me, i won my lane!"
people saying losing or winning mid doesnt ever mean anything usually though. maybe they think they out csed you but unless there was a clear 1v1 kill or a very clear farm discrepancy its all just to boost egos

[/QUOTE]
It's not smoother as such but it does reduce input lag due to the likelihood of viewing more recent frames.
Another thing to note is the console variable "fps_max" which caps fps.

At one point, a lane that was usually 1 vs 1, meant you were more skilled than the other mid. Nowdays it means shit since everyone and their mothers is walking over to mid to see who can kill the enemy the most. That and well, winning lanes means shit if the other team has better/more organized teamfight.
Also no matter how shit the other roles do, they will always gang up and bitch about a particular role losing the game, they want a escape goat to feel better about themselves: yesterday I had two games where the enemy blamed the hard carries, when the mid did really poorly, and supports hardly did anything. Next game they might be blaming the supports or the mid.
They can die doing the clowniest shit and still find a reason to blame someone.

"Noob pudge lost mid" - retarded AM on my team because he died once to the most obvious Invoker gank in the world. Invoker who, at this point, had already died 3 times to me, didn't get any lasthits and was 3 levels behind me.
Some people are just fucking retarded.
[QUOTE=Yahnich;49610826]regen rune is never useless, topping yourself off to full hp or mana means you can stay on the map longer before going base even if you're only missing like 100 mana or hp[/QUOTE]
What if you're not missing any HP or mana or have enough regen that it doesn't matter right now?
Unless you have a bottle to save it for later other runes would be more useful to grab
Always make regen rune worth, use an ability on nothing so that you can see the mana fill back up

My favoyrite thing to do is micro myself and an illusion to another lane while trying to maintain last hits in mid. Then you just send your illusion in first to stand there and get attacked while you stand right next to it and then your team just jumps on them and they freak out.

That's why you don't just auto-cast Arcane Orb like a dope.

I just had someone pick OD right after the enemy picked Nyx

I thought it was just me who had shit luck with the aura.
I have really good luck with the aura personally
[QUOTE=NixNax123;49613791]are you supposed to predict the rng or something[/QUOTE]
Just toss a 100 sided dice everytime you are about to attack with orb or cast astral, if 40 or under go ahead, if not expect to lose mana.
It's been more rare not to proc Essence Aura for me.
But I haven't ended up playing OD since the change so I unno if it's any different now.

No, but tons of people always spout "If you have above X mana then [I]technically[/I] you can just leave it on autocast and never run out!" and then invariably at some point in the game they're wondering why they're out of mana.

I'd rather farm significantly faster and risk the ridiculously unlikely event that I run out of mana rather than staying topped off at all times.
[editline]27th January 2016[/editline]
I had a game where every time I was in the presence of OD's aura I got the proc. EVERY TIME. For the entire game.

false ive gone games where ive never gotten below 50% and games where ive hit 0. its all on luck but now that ur not using ur W as much you have no reason not to just use orb non stop in an effort to top off ur mana since u spend 100 mana and can restore like 25%.
if ur topped off and just hitting lane creeps sure leave it off but every other situation autocast is better
Decided to play razor mid, was missing tons of last hits, then I notice I had 240 MS on SA, God damnit valve.
Dunno if it really is Valve's fault if you're lagging..
What do you guys think of getting Radiance on Clockwerk after Aghs/Blade Mail?
I used to get Necronomicon on Clock. The stats, the mana burn, the aura, true vision and general confusion with so many people in the cogs, plus the chance of getting hurt by the melee guy's death were great at that time, and in my skill-bracket (average, I guess). Then it was nerfed and new defense items arrived so I stopped doing that, but was fun.

It doesn't seem to use pseudo random distribution, so with the resurgence of OD being played, it's safe to say 40% is the new 17%

Man that reminds me of a funky ass build I was thinking about for fun on Clockwerk. Using a blink dagger you'd blink on someone, cogs them and fuck them up with Necro creeps, maybe getting a Euls or Diffusal for catching up.
I've never done it though, since, well :v:
