Isn't courier supposed to be invuln in fountain as of 6.74? If it's not, that should be reported as a bug. Otherwise, the only way that would actually kill the courier is if their team is dumb enough to not de-ward before using the courier. EDIT: From the 6.73b patch notes: Couriers are now invulnerable near their fountain If that's not the case, then that should be reported on the dev forums. | ||

AM, void, spec, PL, morph all carry harder than ursa and don't require babysitting in lane to the same extent. Ursa is a bit like jugg; high threat in lane when combined with disables, a little more damage but not as much utility. Yes! A pro game with Ursa, please watch xD watch what happens (to lycan especially) 35:40 onwards | ||

Probably not at the same level as Void and Spectre, who both are a level above everyone. But with 6 slots, I would always have him rather then an antimage. Yes, he is a very hard carry. | ||

PL is definitely up there as a hyper carry. A PL with Radiance+a couple other big items like Heart/Manta/Diffusal/Bfly is scary as hell and can rip through shit super fast. However, he's not as popular as spec/am in competitive play when it comes to wanting a hyper carry nowadays for several reasons. He doesn't have the global presence of Spec nor is he naturally as tanky as Spec. His mobility/escape isn't as strong as AM/Weaver either. Also, PL is rather weak until he gets a decent amount of levels and a ton of farm. Whereas Spec is strong as soon as she gets Radiance+1 survivability item and AM is strong basically as soon as he gets Manta, PL needs quite a bit more farm to become as powerful as Spec/AM. That being said, PL was used as a hyper carry in some Chinese lineups in the past tho. | ||

Yah... he's a bit of a dark horse among hard carries, but he's right up there with medusa in terms of late game potential. You can find matches of PL outcarrying max inventory void and stuff like that. | ||

What this means is dagger should now become an optional items while something such as MoM/lothar from jokes items became more viable. Ofc midas is always a luxury way to approach the problem. Can you share a replay pls? Would be nice.  I'm interested to see how the game played out until you hit that stage. | ||

I managed to swap the spree sounds but I've no idea about responses btw: it's perfectly legal to swap the spree sounds, it's just a few sound files, nothing that impacts the game, tons of people use those | ||

Seems like who wins mostly depends on who is invited, which appears to be pretty random. =/ I would like joinDOTA to organize one big event instead of these 10 little ones, tbh. The Defense 2 is coming up | ||

You can find matches of PL outcarrying max inventory void and stuff like that. The question with this is how much AoE the void's team have. If they aren't able to clear out the illusions I can easily imagine a PL outcarrying the Void. PL is a great last-pick, if you notice that the opponents team haven't picked any AoE in their lineup. Unfortunately the current metagame is so push/anti-push oriented that this is very unlikely nowadays. | ||

Not to mention The International 2 + Dreamhack happening soon too! But I guess those aren't exactly not jD hosted. | ||

So far I've done it with Ursa/Lich (super easy) Ursa/Brewmaster(also super easy) Ursa/Sven and Ursa/AM (rather tricky) If we succeed, which we do 9 out of 10 times, we get aegis + tons of gold and both of us just one creep kill from lvl 4, we haven't lost a single game when we've done this successfully so far ^_^ | ||
