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.

So many wrong things are said during just one cast.
Apparently veil REDUCES magic resistance? The hell?

Umm, it does?

No it doesn't.
It amplifies magic damage.

Same thing for 99% of people.


If it were to reduce magic resistance anti-mage, it would make his innate 62.5 magic resistance:
62.5/100*70=43.75 magic resistance.
Which means if he were to take 100 magic damage, it'd be reduced by 43.75.

On the other hand, if he were to take 100 magic damage that is amplified by 30% he'd take:

100/100*62.5=62.5
100-62.5=37.5*1.3=48.75 damage


43.75=/=48.75

I know how it works, still most people will say it reduces magic resistance.

But it doesn't, it factually does not reduce magic resistance.
It is not, regardless of what is written on the wiki :l
It'd be like saying that sprint/Mask of madness reduces your physical and magical resistances, while it amplifies damage taken which is a huge difference.

That is to say, the probability of one of them proccing increases, but the crit isn't stacked.

It's not much different than talking about random chances to crit or bash, WHEN AS WE ALL KNOW IT'S PSEUDORANDOM.

It's not something to get that bothered about.

Am i whiny? No, i am not whining.
I am complaining about a caster that constantly in all his casts say a lot of information that is simply untrue, as a caster you should know what you're talking about OR have an analytical caster with you that does know it.

Okay, replace whiny with sad. It's a minor pedantic thing that shouldn't irk you. It's just being nitpicky.

I played my first dota 2 game today. It was frustrating. I picked the "new" option at the beginning and searched my first game. At the end (36 minutes), items were:

Me (Veno): PT, Pipe, q-staff
Teammates: Even worse. There was a sylla with a boots of speed, q-blade and a salve at the end.

WTF is this shit? Do all people who pick the "new" option suck? If yes, how hard?

Wait, you're complaining about the skill level of the lowest 1/3 of the playerbase?

Shadow Blade: The 150 bonus damage when breaking invisibility can be multiplied by Critical Strike.

hmm, so it's changed in dota 2 good to know for kunk I suppose.
It was a engine limitation due to how windwalk worked.
From that one. http://www.dota2wiki.com/wiki/Critical_strike

You might be right, not all that much is known about the MMR system and how New/Experienced/Skilled placement works.
But still... he's complaining about the skill level of the players that are in the Dota 2 equivalent of bronze league?

I think it's more equatable to those practice matches you get before placement matches that has those destroyable rocks protecting your base entrance. :D

No, I'm complaining about their skills being even lower than mine. I rarely see people who are worse than me, let alone that worse.

Kind of yes. I could never imagine that they were that bad. I was richer than any 3 of my 4 teammates combined. And I played veno, not the best farmer on earth.

Like I said 2 posts above, I didn't think that "New" included people who need help with distinguishing a keyboard from a mouse.
