Posts that relate to topics with their own thread, such as in News, Tournaments or Strategy should go in those threads.

Shredder doesnt scale well after he picks up a bloodstone either, so if you don't get a large advantage early/mid game you're kind of screwed.


Um. . .how is an 8s cool down 100-250 nuke that takes 15% primary attribute "no harass". If you want to compare him to Magnus, Timber has much better int and so can spam his nuke way more and his EHP is far higher.

Timbersaw is a strong mid.

The attribute loss returns in 7 seconds, it's not pure damage in mid, and it has very small aoe. The armor is nice though, like having max dragon blood regen at level 2.

timber will actually win mid against almost any melee
getting 2+ points in the passive means you will end up gaining health by pulling creep aggro, which means u can just click the other guy in lane with complete impunity, and having whirling death means you'll get a hand up in last hitting


Ya vs melee heroes you'll win but i dont see how you can do anything vs a ranged hero.

Timbersaw is only picked against melee heroes mid because of that people know that. I don't think anyone has ever picked him versus a real mid hero(qop, puck, od etc). His purpose is just to punish people for picking shitty strength melee mids.

I have a habit or trolling Dotabuff by selling my regular stuff and buying silly items when the game is just about to end. Gotta promote Madness Maiden!

I saw and spoke to BassHunter last night. The man who wants you to play Dota actually prefers League of Legends now.


Never liked him anyway. Traitor scum.

You can't win mid unless you're Rtz.

You don't scale unless you're Rtz.

I don't get why so many people get midas on alch. An extra ~100 gpm on someone who can't farm is amazing. But an extra ~100 gpm on someone who is perhaps the fastest farmer in the game is just not that useful.
The only barrier to truth is the presumption that you already have it. It's through our pane (pain) we window (win though).

Keep in mind that Midas also gives 2.5x XP for the creep it kills, speeding up levels considerably. Since Alchemist wants levels as well as gold, Midas can sometimes be a useful choice.

At least that's how i see it.

Depends on the game. if your team is strong enough to hold out 4v5 and can stack for you then Bfury first makes the most sense, otherwise SB first gets you the most bang for your buck in terms of farming and helping your team.
