Was added in last weeks patch (probably to go along with the release of Meepo this week) you can't turn it off AFAIK.

I'm interested in playing TA and would like to see a good TA in a competitive game. I heard someone say 430's TA is the best TA there is and that there was 1 game where he played like a god but I cant seem to find it now, can someone please help me >.<

bara's empowering haste is really good but he's held back by his awful ult and really mediocre charge
he needs a couple points in charge for it to be moderately useful, and his ult is unusably bad without bash, which makes his early skill build kind of awkward
his ult also sucks because of that massive post-cast delay, though it can make for some funny ganks on blinkers/tpers
he's not as bad as people seem to think though, he's alright at laning because of empowering haste and decent base stats

charge doubles as a mediocre escape spell, it's better than nothing though
it does have a debuff icon but that should never be an issue, because when sb ganks he shouldn't be charging across the map anyway

i think generally the best opening is 2211> 4412 with phase+jango+wand+bkb (optional urn, vanguard, point booster) > luxury

Maybe this isn't the place for this, but as someone who doesn't get that many great carry or support games, I just had the LOL game of my entire dota/Hon/Dota 2 life, as sad as that may be. I've had more kills/assists/gpm with carries, but not like this.

I present to you.....14-0 necrolyte rape.
+ Show Spoiler +

Randomed necro first, call mid, because mid necro is pretty decent. Team picks...as you can see, a bunch of 1/2s. I say screw them, i called mid, I'm going mid, don't pick such crappy lane heroes next time when I call mid right off the bat, before you even pick. Go mid...rape.....more rape. Game ends.

Ok.....I feel better now. Laugh at me, call me n00b, whatever, that was the most hilarious game I have played yet. <3 Dota 2.


Actually, necrolyte was commonly picked as a 2/3rd position semi-carry with some anti-carry potential (assuming the other team was running a 4-1 lineup). Err.. so yeah.. he can carry well.

Hmmm....I have literally never seen him played like that, in dota or in his HoN version. He can be a sick mid vs some heroes though. Vs lesh in this game for instance.....yeah, not even close.

He's lost popularity recently, but typically he was picked as a 2nd/3rd position hero that builds defensive team items.

DK picked him a few times for Burning in some games at the end of 2011/early 2012 in DotA 1.

I'm curious why TC is still on the remake list, seeing as the hero's proven to be quite reasonable.

pretty sure it's that TCs wasn't functioning the way icefrog envisioned so he's remaking.


But he is functioning and he is awesome, what does it matter what IF envisioned? Nothing like the feeling when you manage to catch a whole team in his combo, watching the ground crumble beneath their feet.

The only thing about him is the somewhat poor scaling of his ult

I would hardly call a skill that does damage based on % max HP as having "poor scaling". And Natural Order is a pretty damn powerful skill lategame.


DK actually did the first position NEC core 5 int push strat twice against iG in the G-league Finals in August, which is pretty awesome. I think IF's main gripe with TC is its functionally similar to too many str heroes and as such should be remade, while I personally think TC is awesome, I can see where that line of thought is coming from.
When in doubt, just believe in yourself and press buttons

I can only say that it's one of the group stage matches at the International 2.
But I also don't remember which one.. Sorry.

Aside from one of the games against Na'Vi, 430 basically did very well as TA every time he played it, the best performance (or at least the most godlike) was the first game versus mtw during the prelims, matchid 36274157

430 TA plays like a god every game

hue hue hue

all things aside, it was most likely the game against mTw, however there were multiple TA games, he used it against DK with great effect aswel I believe, just look through iG's games of the international. You can check Dota academy and filter if you are too lazy to flick through the international pages.

I should never be able to forgive you for building MKB instead of Daedalus on TA vs no Butterfly.

^ also not missing any auto attacks from low ground to high ground is extremely valuable for pushing tier 3 tower as well as for fights that start with unfavorable positions with high and low ground

it would have been my next item if that makes you feel better

If you're having trouble trying to safely push high ground, Manta Style is the item to get. Both 430 and Mushi have made this item choice in high-grounding situations.
