Is it just me or the change of armlet in 6.75 is a bit too much? Armlet is now the most cost efficient item that you must get on any strength carry.

Scoreboard said 14/0/6, either way it's a lie because he actually did die once but meepo is still buggy. Death never registered on the scoreboard and he lost no money (he'd recently spent most of it but had ~140 when he died and lost none). Regardless it was a fun game.

Perhaps he spent all his unreliable gold and only had reliable gold? If it's only 140g it should be possible.

No that is the wrong way to approach the game. What you want is for Tobi to GET prophet so you know where he is going to be for the first 30 minutes of the game... his jungle. You can set up really easy ganks on him because he doesn't micro his treants to maximize the the spread of damage so his hero tends to take damage levels 1-5ish (definitely 1-4). Plus he gets flustered real easily so that will really throw him off if you just run a 2-1-2 and push in the lane where he is jungling and hunt him down with a double stun for easy kills.

So, one of my rl friends got a Dota 2 key and he's a complete noob. I try to help him, but I just can't stay calm when he's just so bad.

Main thing is he doesn't want to learn what items and heroes do, not even the one he's playing, depending on me to tell him what to do and I just...UGH FRUSTRATING. How do you teach those people? OTL

You dont play with them? Or you tell him that it is frustrating to play with him because he doesnt want to digest the information you keep feeding him.

I already don't play with him, because I know I would punch a hole into my wall if I did, I just tell him what hero to pick, what item to get, etc... over Skype.

Yeah, I watched him play, boots first all around on both teams. But he's asking for my help, and I feel bad helping him, and I feel bad denying help. >_>

Why would you befriend with someone that doesn't know every spell and their cd and mana costs?

He's a rl friend.

And he doesn't need to know that. But when he dies with AM because he doesn't know what Blink does... I don't have some absurd criteria about what people should know, but at least their own hero?

Hm, yeah that seems like the only way.

Thanks for all the replies guys.
