EPTBase armor/magic resistance only counts the initial armor value + any gained from agility, and the inherent 25% magic resistance every hero has.

Losing 9 armor at level 16 and all your magic resist, and not having a good way to avoid being combo-ed because you have no in-fight mobility skill still sucks even if you keep Dragon Blood. | ||

I know that, i was just confused by the notion that TC aura would remove all DKs armor. Last i checked it wasn't base armor, so just wanted to check nothing had changed. | ||

Hm, I seem to remember you making a post about how DK's Dragons blood in dota1 was considered base armor, and reduced by natural order (though, im sure in dota2 it doesn't work that way). Edit: Guess I just misremembered. | ||

Dragon blood doesn't actually add to base armor. http://dev.dota2.com/showthread.php?t=80525&page=2 (For purposes of illusions it might have counted as base, not sure. thread confused everyone) | ||

There wasn't a flashing orb in dota1 for the longest time -- that was my point. It was added relatively recently, for the express purpose of giving the player better information about how their abilities work. This is especially relevant because orb, like blink, punishes the player. It used to do this with no cue at all. e: imo, cues are good. It forces the player to pay attention and really learn the ins and outs of their abilities. OD's prison has a visual cue to help teammates. SD's disrupt has an audio cue so that you can time your torrents and LSA's so that antimage/qop will never blink out of chain. etc. All the 1200 range thing did (for me) was act as a cue for effective blinks and xp leech (especially now with the deny range being increased). I like cues. I hope it comes back, in one way or another  | ||

I like cues. I hope it comes back, in one way or another Except it also gave you an innate unfair advantage against someone who didn't have it. You knew exactly how far out to sit for xp or to skip xp while others had to guess. These are things that honestly you should learn and just kinda guess. You know roughly the range of say a 600 range hero then yous hould be able to double that in your head. Shouldn't rely on a circle to show you where you can go. | ||
