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.

The thing is, Midas->Mael farms Ancients a LOT slower than BF Alch.

Of course, however this is for pubs where very little stacking will get done. Also I like how Midas is much more conservative in gold cost so if you realize you need to join your team much earlier, you can easily transition into a shadowblade.
Once is an accident. Twice is coincidence. Three times is an enemy action. Bus Driver can never target themselves I'm sorry

AC isn't a farming item, it's not in contention with it for a slot. Ideally you want Mael to farm and AC later to fight. Build the MJ after you have basher/abyssal for ridiculous attack speed.


The problem is that you can't get a second lightning bounce before the first one expires so your attack speed goes to waste as the lightning bounces too slow to keep up with your lightning generation (this is a bug; it doesn't work like this in wc3).


While that kinda sucks I'm not sure it's that big of an issue. By the mid game in fights creeps usually vanish pretty much instantly. Unless there's tons of tanky creeps your lightning is chaining through I don't think it's much of an issue.

One thing people constantly undervalue about mael/mj is the proc is magic damage, which becomes incredibly efficient when the target has tons of armor. Of course conversely it has other weaknesses as well but say against an enemy DK with a AC up it's the equivalent of a far greater amount of physical damage.

i dont personally think i like battlefury alch that much but maybe it's just preference since i see burning do it when he plays the hero


It's pretty ridiculous if you have a team built around it like DS/Enig/Magnus. Apart from that I'm not sure, it does allow you to spam spray a lot which can be handy.

I just played the first QW invoker game since TI2... gota say it feels very satisfying winning all the teamfights and still have max mana because of the new EMP. Question: does the EMP steal illusion mana because i remember mystic snake does?
Im daed. Follow me @TL_NB

What's with people deluding themselves into thinking they're a tier above "pub players". I tell a guy having two drums on the same team isn't bad because the aura isn't the main reason you get them. Get called a moron.

"Wow, I'm being lectured by some pub player on how to play the game. Well played indeed."
"hey asshole you're a pub player too"
"Ok muted"

Yeah, I always laugh when 4 stacking with friends, and whenever the random 5th does something bad it's like "fucking pub, so bad". And I'm like, so uh are you pro then? Do you own it up in the inhouses like NEL? EEL? Oh you don't, well I guess you're a pub too then right?

edit: lol, I thought this was the QQ thread because of the QQ post

Me and my friends are trying to do themed picks. Would you consider Timbersaw a mounted hero?

Maestrom alch is terrible. You farm faster with bfury. You fight better with AC. Take your pick.

Eh, I'd say themed picks always need to be noticeable by the enemy team. And you have to really think about Timbersaw to connect him at all.

Plus...you know, no cosmetic "Mount" item.
