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.

Getting top thread in Reddit DotA is ez, here's my guideline :
+Topic about SingSing
+Anything that insinuates drama about known personalities, players or Valve.
+Having DotA fan art. Specifically along the lines of "I made this, hope you guys like".
And if that fails. Delete and re-post it 12 hours later when the other continent is awake.

I don't think most of this is particularly useful.
The dota health and pain commands probably have to do with making the interface a bit cleaner.
Dont mess with cl_ commands. They look good. In TF2 you would have wanted cl_interp 0.333 sometimes but that's particular in TF2 so 0 is good in Dota.
I'm not really seeing anything extraordinary.

So, any really good games from Starladder finals I should watch? Except the Funn1k Nyx that is.

Alliance vs Sigma game 2 was pretty good. Back and forth, some interesting item choices and plays.

dota_minimap_misclick_time "0" //Removes delay before allowing input on minimap. This one is good. There's a default 0.2s delay when you issue move commands to the minimap. It supposedly helps with not misclicking and turning around, but many people think it just makes using the minimap to move slower and I don't think you can argue with that.

Yeah, there's a lot of useless stuff on /r/dota2, but I just ignore it most of the time, I don't really mind it.

I really dislike the new "necrobook Invoker" trend. I get it, Forge Spirits + Necro = a hell of a push, but still, this isn't how I wanted Invoker to come back into the meta especially since once Necro's nerfed (and the nerf is coming) Invoker's just gonna fade away from the meta again


i'm pretty sure it's the invoke buff that brought him back, not the necrobook buff


he was a niche pick (except Fnatic that like to use him as #1 - haven't seen them win with him yet), but lately not only do I see him more often, he's also rushing a Necro 3.

Instead of Blink/Force/Euls, we're getting the boring Necro 3. That's what's bothering me.


Invokers are getting mek first now, not "rushing" necrobook. Also basil, which i havent seen before on invoker.. But nerf is definately coming since pro games are a tidal wave of necrobook 3s right now... Critera seems to be "is it strength or intelligence hero? Get necrobook. Is it any position from 1-5 thats str or intel? Get necrobook." Like midas all over again.

Also, LD's post on Luminous leaving BTS: https://www.facebook.com/LDDota/posts/534893109951990?stream_ref=10

Doesn't say much, but from this column I kind of feel like it wasn't all friendly. I dunno, I guess we won't find out what happened: "With that being said, there is certainly no ill will from our end. Both David and I consider Lumi our good friend and a respected colleague. We have no animosity towards him and wish him nothing but the best."

I agree, have not seen meks on any of the competitive invokers.

Fata is a weird mid and singsing is a bad invoker. As for ice3 how many times did he buy it ? On how many invoker games ?

iceiceice played invoker twice in the series and went mek both times. 430 played invoker in the second game and their death prophet made mek. He still went necrobook after midas.
