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.

dude it only costs 200 more gold total lol
also sny is only 12%, and the ms reduction on boots actually makes %ms slightly weaker, except on heroes that hit max movespeed, but really it doesn't make much of a difference

i think it does make sense to make yasha and delay manta on some heroes (like riki, sniper, etc), but manta's still pretty good

Not sure why you would ever delay manta on AM, seems like a bad hero to use for your example NB.

AM is probably the best manta carrier in the game XD. Riki is like the only other hero who benefits as much from it.

I did come up with an interesting thought though. If you have a yasha, finishing manta is EXACTLY the same cost as buying a shadow blade. Apart from taking an extra slot, the shadow blade sounds really good on a ton of heroes in that circumstance (30dmg 30IAS vs +10 to all attributes, then 75 mana shadow walk vs 150 mana illusions).

Okay okay its obvious that BH is not a case of "when in doubt". Good quotes though.

I just read this on Kotaku

if dota was this overlord of moba games why are valve having to give people dota invitations to give to people? no one wants to play it so they need ways to get people involved


or because it's a beta and the only way to get in is via invite.. and people want to be able to invite their friends to play, so valve give people invites to hand out.
(Although they probably should just make it open beta at this point with the amount of invites going around)

Fan boys need to go fall off something tall preferably into something sharp and pointy.

rofl multicast best spell!!!! Dendi's orge has deso and phaseboots.

Kotaku is like a gaming tabloid, fun to read at times and sometimes the comments are good but you can find those retarded ones very often.

I think they still don't have the server capacity for open beta. And beta these days is treated like early access, so there will many people, that will try it out, have no idea what to do and quit, to never return. It's good that it's semi-closed still.

Leave the stupid in other forums.
The only barrier to truth is the presumption that you already have it. It's through our pane (pain) we window (win though).
