IRC chatter should remain in IRC - http://webchat.quakenet.org/?channels=tl.dota2

Posts that relate to topics with their own thread, such as in News, Tournaments or Strategy should go in those threads.

No item in dota became popular because of X person used it. Every item been tweaked or remade to the point that most of them are used widely among players. Skadi should get a remade soon and rod of atos is a questionable design (only seen viable on vang+atos silencer lol). If you are talking about builds on heroes then there is some personal preference involved, i am actually quite surprised that people dont blindly copy builds from pro games now.

Quite a lot of people do not watch any pro games or very little so there isn't much surprise when it comes to pubs playing builds that would be questionable at best in any tournament or high level setting.

i like the way dota is with obviously pub items and then people who follow pro scene and copy them and then people who get stuff on their own randomly and finally the people who adapt builds to the game. the LoL scene has everyone copy the top level games, and if you deviate at all for any reason people rage at you and spam surrender.

The amount of "troll/gimicky" builds in dota is endless, makes some pubs quite funny. Ran across a dagon axe earlier who swore by it. Blink > dagon > ult = insta kill.

Pub doesnt give a damn to pro games in dota1 but still you see people blindly copy the build from time to time (they actually said that who did this etc you are noob didnt know this etc) while in dota2 i ddidnt notice any changes so far, considering almost everyone on the server was in ti2 finals (80k+ in game viewers).

I feel like radi spec is too strong to just give up like that. Maybe tranq+pms-->radi-->cheap items (drum-->diffusal-->yasha+vit booster, into upgrading manta/heart/other late game items) would still be good for making spec powerful mid game? If they dedicate themselves to shutting you down, you can skip radi, as it will come too late anyway. Basically, if you die before 3800 gold, you do the midgame build. Otherwise, you go radi into the midgame build. Most of the items there go into late game anyway (yasha--> manta, diffusal is good until late on spec, vit-->heart).

The idea with the build is to use some combination of early/midgame items (Urn, Aquila, Janggo, Yasha, Diffusal) to build up a midgame teamfight advantage, and then transition back into your lategame items after you've created enough of an advantage. You generally DO still need Radiance because Spec doesn't have that high of baseline farming speed, so you can't rely on your midgame teamfighting advantage to get you all of your endgame items.

The most awkward part of the build is the transition back onto Radiance. Again, I suggested that some tweaks to mana costs could smooth out this transition, as it would improve Dagger's usefulness as a farming ability (nukes like Waveform, Riptide, and Dragon Breath are fairly good farming skills for other carries, while Dagger's creep clearing ability is quite poor).


If you can get radi in time for midgame, would you still go it though? If you get free farm and are farming like burning, you can make a radi when its still a really powerful killing item. If you then go into the other strong mid game items, diffusal/drum/yasha/vit then you would maintain dominance, would you not? These items also give an easy transition into late, with manta/heart/diffusal being strong late.

If you can't get radi early on then it won't be as strong of a fighting item - so doing what you say would be a good idea. But if you have uncontested farm 'till 3800 gold, seems like it would still be stronger on spec.

I guess he does have a lot of disable, could make a decent support. An aura as well.
The only barrier to truth is the presumption that you already have it. It's through our pane (pain) we window (win though).

It will be free to play once it is out. The $25 package also includes items. Also, you can trade for a key for cheaper:
