If you have charge maxed the stun time is irrelevant afaik. And I'm not certain the stun time doesn't already work anyway. Its just distance which is BAD lol.
Doesn't particularly matter tho.
LAN is HUGE but not for me. Very happy with pretty much all the changes.
There's also bashing after an ult, not just after charge. I dunno, it shouldn't make a massive difference either way, if the stun time applied before or not.

I wonder if the email is forwarded to icefrog even though he has a public gmail account already.

I doubt it. It's not like they have to read all the mails. They probably have a few interns scan them for relevant stuff.

Valve doesn't have internships

Then they probably just have an automatic filter which redirects 95% of the incoming mail to the trash.
It's easy to set up:
Any email containing the following words goes right out:
-Volvo
-nerf
-Icefraud
-disband
-pls
-any of the twitch chat emotes
-huehuehue
-cyka
-ded gaem
-new hero
That alone probably covers 80+% of the email right there. It will at least give you readable emails written by people who spent enough time to type things out properly.

If you're crushing the offlane it's still fine to go bloodstone with Timber. Might be more useful to get other items if you are feeding though. When I queue with TheTester he almost always destroys 1v2 with Timber, and always gets a 14-15 minutes stone, rofl. Bloodstone at any point before 20 minutes is acceptable. If you don't think you can get 20 min Bloodstone, you'll probably still get it eventually but make some adjustments to get other fighting items (Urn, Cloak/Hood, etc.).
I actually never considered hood (brain fart here). Gonna make for a great situational pickup. Usually by the time I get arc-Bloodstone, I just go blademail then Hex/Shivas. Maybe Travels (since I just stick with brown boots after bloodstone is built)

Blademail is usually a pretty weak buy.

You can get heart or Radiance if you're really fed too. You can't really lose the game after that

I wonder how lan is going to work with the ingame client?
Does this mean that a lan event wont be streamed ingame?

Halberd is actually a very efficient buy once you have 3-4 items. High armor + high HP makes Evasion very cost-effective.

They probably have something to allow Tournament admins to still have games broadcast on DotaTV.

You can connect a lan tf2 server to a source tv relay, I imagine it doesn't work much differently for dota 2.

True Halbed is pretty good. However i'm still torn on whether or not it's worth it to buy a sheep relatively early on Timber instead of a Shiva's. The disable is obviously amazing but Shiva is cheaper and feels more useful on somebody like Timber

a pro said halbard was one of the worst items in the game, i forgot who said it though.

It depends a lot on how badly you need armor at that point in the game and the enemy team composition.
Shiva's is stronger against multiple cores because the -AS aura is hitting more enemies. Sheep is stronger against a single core that is a high priority to lock down.

On Dread stream there is a Slardar in the enemy team that just Armlet toggles trough urn, poison sting and veno ult (at the same time) multiple times. How the hell?

Macro that toggles it off then on immediately, or just some luck with skill, which isnt too uncommon

Either godlike reflexes or a macro.
I actually find that it isnt the first tick that is the hard one to dodge. Its the second one that kills me most of the time.

You can SHIFT QUEUE armlet toggles that achieves it instantly.
It doesn't have to be a macro guys not everybody is cheating.
That said, it probably is lol.
