Swap is more for single draft.

This game is better supported as a BETA than Diablo 3 is as a $60 game. Valve is doing something right.

More like going back to what it should be. Too many indirect 'buffs' in DotA 2. Think about Lycan and his wolves. Due to different neutral AI Lycan has an 84% chance to instantly take down a hard camp at level 1. Yeah go ward the small and pull, he's still okay.

you could send the bear to fountain for even faster reheals. its actually stupidly good :/

That was part of the reason why MUFC defeated IG in the GDM tournament. Should they be disqualified (or a rematch scheduled or be handed a forfeit) for exploiting a bug similar to how coL were disqualified in the finals of the first Monthly Madness qualifier back in February for using the Puck phase shift bug?

tide is better generally. treant isn't picked for initiation, he's picked because he has an excellent aura and a decent set of abilities, and he's also fat.

So what skill order/items for treant? Max aura? Max drain? Blink rush? Arcane boots? Soul ring to spam drain?

Laning - hard support? Solo mid? Solo hard?

Isn't the answer to that to stop giving bonus gold for randoming, not removing a really useful feature?

Builds with Tree are situational. Generally, maxing aura is... so indelibly good. As a global passive early on, it grants such smooth laning for your entire team. You hold onto your mana for when you need it. In hard lanes, maxing Guise can help you sneak experience you normally wouldn't get. The drain is really good when coupled with other disables, but you don't have the mana to use it early.

Seriously though the aura is just so nice.

In DotA 1, Gnolls make sure every enemy has the poison buff instead of focusing one unit. Certain hard camp creep target melee heroes (Wildkins and Centaurs). You can't clarity under these and on hard camps your wolves won't be tanking damage since the big creep will be hitting you.

A few of examples are the big wildkin not attacking the hero over the summons, satyrs not using his shockwave even though there are 3 units, and gnoll assassins not attacking all units to spread the poison. Conversely, wolves count as bodies which makes trolls harder (but they were piss easy in the first place so still doable).

The target selection of the neutral creeps. For example, specific camps will focus the hero over wolves, which means it's trickier keeping clarities up, and you need to bring a certain amount of starting life regen into jungle with you to stay safe.

Lucan jungle is marginally easier in dota2 in that u don't have to play about 3 games with it to know oh hey I have to micro this way and not pots here, tho the slightly different ai and lack of stuff getting shockwaved is a bit ... I personally think the lothars crit change and slight modifications to rng make much bigger differences
When in doubt, just believe in yourself and press buttons
