This is correct. He is basically shooting snot rockets.

That would dilute it though. Sure he favours purity over distance.

It would be the same total amount of snot - just combined with spit as well.

That is ridiculous. He would have to aim his nostril straight at the target, which means he would be looking almost straight up. Unless he has amazing control over his nostrils, we have assume he spits it at his opponents.

Firewheel pls.

Anybody know why strength gives such a useless "secondary" bonus? (The primary bonuses from stats are HP, IAS and Mana Pool).

The secondary + armor from agi really does add up, so while it is minor it can have a huge difference late game (have fun auto-attacking a morph late game).
The secondary mana regen from int is especially crucial because other items increase your mana regen by a percentage so your base regen from int heavily increases the efficacy of items that raise your regen.
The hp regen from strength (0.03hp/s per point) is a JOKE. It takes more than 10 and a half minutes for the regen from a point of strength to match the HP that point of strength provides. Essentially, no amount of strength will ever remotely solve your HP regen needs. 66 points of strength matches the regen from a 350 gold ring of regeneration. And the only way to make it scale is from Heart which only cares about your max HP pool in the first place not your strength.

I mean, I guess the primary benefit of strength (raw HP) is extremely nice but raw HP only gets you so far.

Thoughts? I'm not at all trying to paint strength as under/overpowered in any way, I just think that the regen from strength doesn't "feel" like it is worth even mentioning. And I wonder if maybe pushing it up even a TINY bit like to 0.05 wouldn't at least sound nicer

PS: He totally snot-rockets it out of his nose.

Ok, well what do you want to talk about? I don’t see you putting forth anything interesting to discuss?

How about that grudgematch he completely and totally avoided?

Will this be the battle of the gods we have been waiting for? I can make a sound track if necessary, made from 55 Two Steps from Hell songs. It will be so epic we will cry.

Are there skill brackets in Dota 2 atm?

According to official dota2 forums and some googling, there are no such thing and they determine everything in another manner.

However, I see more and more people confidently say that they play in the 'very high' skill bracket or so. How do you tell?
I have reasons to believe that im in high or very high as well, because my teammates no longer do stupid crap, are willing to support etc and I have a lot of great games in that manner.
