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.

I played him once in WC3 and got too frustrated.
I'm learning him through bot games though, I still need to do all the other Invoker guides.

Well if you go exort its ez to lasthit but your spells require global awareness (sunstrike), micro (forge spirits) and sick positioning reads (ice wall), at least early game. Plus meteor prediction is hard.

If you go Quas/Wex, lasthitting is impossible but your spells are hilariously ez. Just spam buttons as fast as you can. Tornado -> emp -> cold snap and kill them all. Plus if you can Memorize "QQWRD" which is really easy to hammer out fast then you can ghostwalk super ez. OFC the real way to ghost walk is "QQWRWWD" if you feel the need to run away but thats less regen and really hard to hammer out when you are in a rush to invis.

Being well versed in both is pretty tough tho.

Just revert the damage nerf honestly. So many better laners than him even without that nerf there's no real reason for it to be in place.

Anything to get him back into the meta game. He is so awesome, so highly skilled and makes plays like no other. Watching a good Invoker is such a blast and they should do whatever it takes to get him back into the meta against the more popular mids.

If you include dota 1, then pretty much yes. Its really hard to track unofficial servers in wc3dota.

How would people feel if the new mortal strike active was moved to SKs aura instead of his crit? So you can use it to get healthy during a fight and sacrificing your lifesteal instead of sacrificing DPS from crit?
I just always felt the active seemed more fitting for the aura than the crit.
From the Ghastly Eyrie I can see to the ends of the world, and from this vantage point I declare with utter certainty that this one is in the bag!

Just blindly claim League is bigger in China now because Valve dropped the ball.

Worse.

Passive lifesteal aura makes lane control far more difficult. Having to auto-push your lane in order to get Mortal Strike would suck.
