I just switched back and forth and it randomly fixed itself..for now, no idea whats going on.
Silly question, but how do i actually spawn my courier and use it? I try to use the qbinds for courier in the options but nothing happens when i try, it just remains in my inventory.

u have to put it on the hero and activate it like any other items... thats why you buy it in beginning so you dont have to go back to base to grab the courier and activate it later...

look, tobi nearly always has synderen, slesh, maelk or some other top player to cast with him 99% of the time because he knows he isn't the world's most analytic caster. he doesn't pretend to know as much as those guys, and i enjoy watching his casts because of it. he always has a good player co-casting with him. it's a nice synergy.

lots of people forget how bad tobi's casts were over the years. sure his recent dota 2 casts are actually good, but for the majority of his career most people disliked his casts because of his lack of insight. luminous' solo commentaries ( not solo live casts mind you) are much much better than any other current dota 1 caster. he provides lots of insight into the game and how generally has an opinion on alot of aspects of the game( not saying their all right or anything). his dual casts are horrible though so every time he casts TPL its just downright bad. nebu1a's casts are usually much more laid back, when hes the solo caster he lets his personality shine out ( again, agree with it or not, thats his style, which lots of people actually like). Nebu1a's casts tend to be much more strategic when he does a "hero daily" where he basically goes indepth and explains things rather than being excited and basically blurting out whats on the screen (the majority of his casts) then again he still provides much more insight than tobi. tobi is notorious for saying nothing of substance and basically screaming at the top of his lungs things you can see right there, he is a play-by-play caster though so its to be expected. i actually think that ayesee ( ive only seen like 4 of his casts) is the only one doing the co-casting thing right, he talks his mind and continuously prods his co-commentator for insight, asking how the game stands, what their ideas are etc. i think thats the style most casters should emulate. i strongly disagree: why would you want insight into the game that you already know how to play? For me when i listen to sc2 casters, its just dumb listening to their wrong analysis if they are no where near GM level. It happens to DJwheat, happened to Husky, itmeJP and so on... All those people has finally moving on to mainly focus on play by play casting which, to them, literally means reading food of 2 side on the unit tab. SC2 is boring at hell and i remember those guy the first time watching OGN casting sc2 for WCG was asking themselves: How could the Korean casts be so emotional? To be fair if you watch BW now a day after you listen to sc2 casts, all you see is all-in 1 into all-in 2... nothing exciting yet the Korean caster made all the different. Tobi is, by far, the only english esports caster that could emulate what the korean did in BW which result the growth of esports in their culture for the past 10 years. Beside, if you want a good co-caster for him, just fill in a pro player such as maelk or synderen to provide more game insight.... Thats also how it worked in BW: retired ProGamers trasition into casters. Pretty much, insight provided by even high level pub players is rather worthless to listen to and yet still often lacks flavor and excitment. Without somebody like Maelk or 2009 casting, any "insight" tend to be half hearted guesses that may or may not work correctly. However, for live casts especially, players/ex-players who primarily provide insight can often be dry to listen to, which is why good casting combinations require a flavor guy who's screaming at the top of their lungs, sentiments like PLAGUUUUUUUUUU transcend the very game itself to etch moments into our memories.
i agree with you ser 100%

I wish someone would put out a decent alt tab guide for this patch/dota 2. I know what to get for most heroes as I play the game but I feel so much better having a skeleton guide to work from when i random.

dont buy too much into it though... some of those build are not used for noobs or very very situational...
me personally prefer quelling blade on PL bc its like a mini battle fury which help u get rad much much easier. Also huskar has so many build and should always be justified depend on your lane and your team.

Can a TLIH admin please stop this chat in the channel please? Really new players are getting into an argument which includes making fun of their countries and spamming ban requests.

It's meant as a reference, but how's PL got anything to do with DotA2 and how is hood + Armlet not a Huskar build you'd want to go pretty much always?

hmmm not sure about hood on huskar... most of the time people prefer lifesteal husk rather than hood fire :-/
With only 1 lv in spear to 'keep your HP low', your DPS always go insane to finish off multiple target... after armlet either rush BKB or buriza depend on how much disable the enemy team have.
this is what i stole from sing_sing stream:
skill:
1 W (spear)
2 E
3 E
after that just E and stat, ulti get normal.
item:
2x gannet of str
tango+potion
2xbranches
get boot first or mask of death (morbid?) depend on how much disable they have on their team.
once got life steal, you can either lane or jungle and proceed to get MoM (yeah MOM ~_~)
MoM->phase boot (wtf?)-> armlet(15->18 mins) -> buriza(god-like) -> 2nd buriza (2 lanes mega) -> GG :-/
once you cant take any more stat and have to take 1 level of Q, use that Q lv 1 to rosh.
