But the great designer didn't like only 1 skillpoint in magic missile being viable, so he scaled the stun duration back a little. Actually, when VS had 1.75s stun at all ranks, she was pretty much first-pick all the time in that version of the game (Wave of Terror was a lot stronger then too). The change was just one of a few successive tweaks he made to her over several versions. With regard to Dragon Tail, it's in a very good spot, I have no clue why you'd want that skill tweaked. It's good on 1 rank, but also situationally good to put more points into (after Breathe Fire and Dragon Breath are maxed, obviously) based on the game. It has flexibility in how you skill it, which is a good thing. | ||

S'up. 2-8 as "pubstomper" Riki Yeah...that invisibility = invincibility thing really doesn't seem to work for me. :-\ I've got other bad ones but most of those with a decent number of games on are heroes I actually play ok on but appear to be cursed. I'm 1-9 on Puck for example; I actually seem to do ok but it seems like either we lose a close game or my team just goes, to put it in SC2 terms, "full foreigner" when I pick it. | ||

All we need to do is give him enough room to farm a heart and another damage item and he will rip out the other teams soul. He will become the beautiful death-flower we wanted him to be. They have Blood Seeker and he is a chump. We just need to no die for about 25 minutes and we will win this with style. PL, stay the fuck away and play Diablo until you have a Heart. Don't help us, we are dead to you." Normally, we win after that as long as no one becomes super dumb. If someone pick-random PL-AM-Void you're screwed. Because Pub Game =No tp, no coordination, minimal map awarenes. Getting 3rd item on these heroes are extremely important but in pubs there is no option like that. But.. Be a man and increase your teams game knowledge by yourself. Increase their communication, Increase their farming speed by %50-100. There is only one hero can increase his allies game fundamentals. You can even force them to do right things. Yes. You can do it and you can do it alone! All you need is.... + Show Spoiler + ![[image loading]](http://www.mobacounter.com/dota/images/champions/keeper_of_the_light_vert.jpg) I have %62 winrate with him. Yeah. If someone pick a extremely item dependant hero, just pick kotl. No one can push you, no one can mess with your carry at laning phase (AM, and void has blink already, PL-Kotl.. Well thats über combo  and the most important things is, with average game knowledge you can force your teammates for counter initiate, force them to use their mana freely, force your farm dependant hero to carry a tp.Be a man and pick Gandalf! My worst heroes. 1-5 venge 1-6 Sven 1-5 weaver. Meh.... | ||

I like the fez one. But i also like the trapjaw one. Fez one is just slightly cooler. If you get the fez one i'd trade 1:1 gladly | ||

I usually have absurd winrates at some heroes and then shitty ones at the other heroes. | ||

Sorry for noob question Being afk (not getting xp for 5min) gets you an abandon, or being the first to leave game before it ends. Not a big deal at all unless you have OCD and are forever haunted about not having 0 abandons. | ||

My internet was stuttering for a bit before cutting out entirely so I was hanging out in base. Thanks | ||

I I was out a few minutes and when I reconnected it told me I had abandoned, but it let me play the rest of the game anyway. Sorry for noob question There is the simple question thread for that, but here is a freebie. You get an abandon after 5 minutes of being disconnected. If you get several abandons you are put into low priority queue, which is rumored to be really crappy. As for being good with certain heroes: My hypothesis is that every hero excels if played certain ways depending on the hero. The heroes you have good win ratio with are the ones you play one of the good ways. Mana management, item choices and positioning in ganks and teamfights do make or break a hero. I have come to that conclusion from trying to play Slardar similar to Nightstalker, PA similar to Riki, Enchantress similar to Chen, Nature's Prophet jungling similar like Enigma. You would think that if urn is good on one hero it is good on other heroes that seem similar. The differences can be enourmous. A playstyle that gives you a 9-1 record on 1 hero can lead you to a 3-7 record on another hero. | ||

Sometimes my internet becomes... intermittent. I get like 1 Also, on a marginally related note, sometimes my ping is great, and the connection seems fine, 0% packet loss. But then when I click to move somewhere, it takes over a second before I visually start to see my character move. This doesn't happen all the time, and is subtle when it does happen, so much that I sometimes wonder if I had even clicked at all. But I can tell when it happens and it's incredibly frustrating. Anyone else have any guesses as to what causes this or how I can tell for certain whats happening? | ||
