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.

I just can't think of why to get Atos instead of Force Staff ever, MAYBE for a hero like OD that wants the higher Int but in the end OD needs the survivability of mek and force as well. I dunno.

I can't think of a situation where you want to go atos instead of force staff, but if you need to be helping your team before you can farm up a sheep, then atos is a good choice. If you aren't going into a teamfight before you could have sheep, then it is probably the wrong choice of item.
The only barrier to truth is the presumption that you already have it. It's through our pane (pain) we window (win though).

I like it on Lion after Blink+PT core works quite well since Agha bonus is stupid on him, doesn't really need another hex but of course not a bad choice still farming that 2700mystic can be annoying, doesn't need force since already got Blink, doesn't need euler can be good but doesn't really need it, basically just Shivas(same dilemma as guinsoo but at least you get armor + slow against hard hitters), Ghost or BKB I might buy instead of Atos on him depending what I play against.

but yeah it's tough to see people buying it instead of getting Force and then saving up for Guinsoo like with Silencer, OD etc...
My immune system is so strong that I have to get AIDS just to be normal.

I can't really see a time where Rod of Atos is a good pickup unless its like ur 5th-6th item on OD and the game has gone that late.

atos is not a late game item, if you are considering 5th and 6th items you will be better off with heart and sheep or something along those lines.

I say late game, because why would you ever get Atos before sheep or force. The only time I could ever see anyone picking it up is late game i think.

Basically yes. I think maybe if you don't need the survivability on OD(Force staff) then it can be decent.

Atos is more or less an alternative to Force staff with better bonuses but arguably worse active. It is an option for heroes like Zeus, Silencer, OD, Enchantress, Krobelus etc. Pretty much useful for all int heros but other items might be better and they might not even farm that much anyways.

Is there a website similair to dota-league for Dota2? A place where you can play arranged gathers/pugs. I know of the TL gather channel but I'm wondering if there is a more active place for that?

It seems you do need to be vouched. I haven't played dota since around 2008 so I'm not really playing like a superstar. But I really want to play pre-arranged games with competent people, these matchmaking games make me cry inside. =(

nah I would go bf since it provides you with regen for lane control and you can do splash dmg in chrono and midas just makes you useless for 20 minutes

bf is great on void as a farming item and as a way to maximize chronosphere damage.
People is diying.
