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.

Better add Dazzle and Omni. You know, just to be safe.

That would be KotL+Bat+ES+DS+Disruptor. The ultimate in area control. They literally cannot touch you.

I don't get why people still keep tp'ing in front of towers when there's an enemy disruptor around.

I always waste at least 1 person's TP in every disruptor game I play lol. And it's not like I'm being a ninja about it. Like I'm usually in sight of the enemy cause the whole team is pushing the lane.

I would think that it isn't something people really think about, but should. You don't see a disruptor every game, and there aren't many mechanics which interact with your TP in a similar way.

It's just a more fun demonstration I suppose. It's hard to explain it to non-Dota people as well as giving them an example of a bug that was new, exciting and awesome, that later became accepted. I was going to use the Tiny example, but this is much better.

Here's the video:


They had another one from DreamHack, but the music was brutal, this is, unfortunately, second best.

If you look that that video, the Hook appears to come from the fountain, not from Pudge, when the actual physical hook is coming from Pudge. It's the best example of why the play was disallowed for the rest of the tournament.


Did they actually ban fountain hooks for the rest of the tournament? That's disappointing.

I asked this question a while ago and iirc Yango said it was a rumor at best.

One of the best ways to get through the week is to read Patch anticipation thread on dev forum: http://dev.dota2.com/showthread.php?t=104045

Careful bc some pages could contains a lot of heavy images and slow load.

I've never actually seen R1CH play Invoker. But I imagine his sunstrikes would be legit.

i can't replicate this pudge hook at all. At first I thought maybe allies have a smaller hitbox for hooks, but no.

I'm thinking the beastmaster was never in danger, so by the time his hitbox crosses the hook path, the hook is passed him. But then razor's hitbox still looks outside the hook ... unless he walked back into it by being blocked by some trees.

Edit: though if you pick that exact spot, for some reason the hook seems to hit a little wider.
