Goodbye, sweet prince This one sounded so bad that I didn't even try abusing it once.

Demon gets a QB on every hero as an offlaner simply because he knows more juke spots than anybody else in the game. It just comes naturally to him, more so than other players, that he can get more out of that QB cutting "random" trees than anyone else could.

But it's presumptuous to start QB without knowing who you're against, what hero/items they have, or any idea of how good they are. The way I see it: a) Start with QB, potentially get a lasthit or two more but then get harassed the fuck out of lane while trying to buy stoutshield. b) Start with stout, potentially miss a lasthit or two but be fine with a few trades and then buy QB for moar lasthits I see no reason in the world to not go for b). Maybe a competetive level where you're 99% sure that you will be in a 3n1 lane could be an exception.
Eh, most of the time QB + Stout Lifestealer against a solo suicide lane is fine.

Random Question, I'm trying to play more Dota 2, but I hate pubbing. Are there any good channels to pick up a decent group to play with. I'm pretty low skill level, but play support/ward bitch decently well

You could try "teamliquid"

Has anyone had trouble with the courier not delivering lately? I think for the past week or so i've had trouble, the courier will pick up my items without issue but using the deliver key (I think default is 'F') it refuses to move. It's not an issue with others using it at the same time, or anything, it just won't move. Once I move it manually and then click the deliver key it comes without issue.
Edit: This isn't every single time, but I have noticed it somewhat often

it's a bug, if someone presses stop on the courier you need to issue a move command before it takes any other commands.
This bug has existed for several months now and I've posted on the dev forums about it (along with lots of other posts from what I remember)

I see people just asking for MM 90% of the time, and even if you tell them your a new player they might let you join.

Yeah I have to imagine if others found out about it then OD certainly would have been a lot more popular. No need to ever scale it past 1, just all orb and astral

For the past few months I felt like I was stagnating, playing with a pool of players that I felt were less skilled than me. I would always do decently but couldn't always carry my team to victory. Then I found the ultimate way to go up the "ladder": play Riki. I'm 6-1 with him in my last 7 games with him, and the only we game we lost the top lane fed 10 kills in under 5 mins to a Gondar. Even when first picking Riki and being countered by Gondar and/or Slardar, it always seems so easy to win. Hopefully this takes me up to high skill at least, where I can finally do what I enjoy the most (hard support) with semi-decent players!

What the, that OD bug.
Wish I had known about it, could have tried some very fun and balanced lvl 1 5mid push strategy with quad heal.

Give Shadow Blade BH a try, even though Track doesn't give -armor anymore it still stomps well.

How doesn't it work anymore?
Is that that one bug where Jinada doesn't proc even his +bonus damage from his innate windwalk? That can't be intentional?

no they intentionally fixed the item so that when you crit it adds the bonus 150 after rather than before, which was the cause of the ridiculous damage efficiency of the item.

Comparing armor reduction and damage items dmg/money ratio is rather silly. The value is variable depending on how much damage you currently do and how much armor the thing you're reducing has. You can make the result whatever you want if you use the correct numbers. Not to mention the fact that you're comparing a 1k item to a 3k item, although curiously the 1k item is better ^_^
