Quite possibly one of my favourite bugs ever... CK's reality rift works with allied illusions. | ||

They really need to add the ability for bots to understand simple phrases such as the ones bots themselves are doing, so that if you write "all push top", ALL the bots do it. That could actually make the bots decent training without every game taking 50+ minutes if you don't pick a carry. | ||

Bots are so frickin passive and don't follow the game at all. Sometimes you ping a tower and bots don't do shit, sometimes you ping a hero and a bot with 5% hp run in to kill it alone. Sometimes you can almost kill the whole enemy team yourself and the opponents have lost every single tower, but the bots in your team are all standing by roshan spamming "Doing roshan" in chat without actually engaging him.

CK is valued for his stun early game, and for his massive natural DPS potential mid to late. To abuse his stun/rift, you need some kind of mana solution like bottle. His DPS potential usually manifests as pretty imba tower and base-wrecking speed because the long CD on his ult makes it impractical to use in ganks + small fights, and they're wiped out very quickly by AoE in teamfights. Drums are great as usual. SnY split into manta and halberd is in vogue. Manta is considered nice because of crit inheritance and rift compatibility. AC and heart are pretty undisputed late luxuries. A lot of people like the cookiecutter battlefury farming build, and others like armlet, because the active state is inherited by your ult images permanently. PA for me is just all about getting to quadruple-digit crit ASAP and ending the game at that point. I'm a huge believer in rapier + aegis being core on her in games that drag, and I strongly believe that the only things PA needs to shine is raw HP and raw +DMG. I like vanguard/armlet/basher-type midgame builds over battlefury rush, BKB + lifesteal hard carry farming builds. She's not a ricing 1v5 hard carry imo, she's an assassin-type like riki/ursa/troll/etc that excels at solo-killing and support-gibbing from a very early point in the game. I prefer stacking HP instead of going for BKB because her playstyle is so chase-heavy and CD-dependent, and because pubs are way too smart about force staff/cyclone stick/ghost scepter nowadays. My typical build: RoH -> phase boots -> basher (str belt first) -> complete vg (you can do the vg before basher if you're on back foot) -> abyssal -> rapier/rosh (-> farm heart(s) + mroe rapiers for the lulz) I get 1 point in each skill, another point in dagger for the guaranteed last hit, max blink strike first for dat cd, max dagger second then blur third, take ult at 10/11. | ||

The bots already know how to push, gank and defend, the simple ability to trigger these tactics by writing in the chat would almost be enough. | ||

I assume I'm in the low priority queue, but I have no idea why, I've only played 5 MM games, winning 2 and losing 3, never abandoned or anything, so I wonder why Valve feels I shouldn't get any games. I suppose it's because I clicked the newb button when I started dota 2 the first time? Sure does suck. | ||
