To get the max slow it takes 12/6/4/3 seconds, so maxing it first isn't the most efficient. Leaving it at level 3 should be best since 4 seconds is a good time to stop channeling and use other spells while 6 seconds is too long. I'd probably go 0/2/3 at level 5, another point in the DoT or bonds at 7, then max fatal bonds. The timing for everything just seems right with that. The thing is, the max slow isn't really relevant until enemies have sources of % MS. Off base MS, you reach minimum MS after 65-70% slow, so it's actually more like 10/5/4/3 to get the maximum effective slow until people have enough % MS for you to need the slow % beyond that. Upheaval also tends to be the most suspect of the 3 skills in lane given it's long CD and weaker effectiveness in laning situations that involve fewer heroes. | ||

Not saying they shouldn't have accepted. The reward pretty clearly outweighs the risk. But they also shouldn't be shocked when people blame the production company. | ||

There's a huge difference between that deals 225 dps, a nuke, and a 30 dps DoT. You cast it with your shitty .5 cast point and they eat a tango. After level 6 you're probably not even going to use it much because you want to teamfight and farm aghs. | ||

I'm not shocked people are blaming the production company, I'm just trying to explain to a few of those people why they shouldn't put ALL the blame on them. | ||

I'd say warlock needs a cast point buff but really every hero with a shitty cast point does. | ||

Seriously, they are going to hire someone and then you could blame them instead, but they might not be as popular. Or would you rather JD just back out at the last minute because they had a bad feeling. Cause you know, EG and C9 didn't get a bunch of shit for doing that recently. Its damned if you do, damned if you don't. | ||

I don't think he needs a cast point buff more than Icefrog needs to give all these new-fangled 0 cast point heroes real cast points. | ||

Upheaval also tends to be the most suspect of the 3 skills in lane given it's long CD and weaker effectiveness in laning situations that involve fewer heroes. 65-70% slow is still really good. A hero needs 417 ms to get the max slow. I don't think it's important if you lose out on ~10% of slow if you're able to get so many more right clicks off. Also, people should be smarter about when to cast disables on targets that have upeaval on them. Optimally, you should stun them ~3 seconds after they get out of the AoE.

Other DoTs compensate for having a secondary effect like slow though while Warlock's DoT has the option of being a HoT. | ||

Yeah, your analogy is kinda crap. Blaming companies for the stupid actions of their clients because "they should have known better" is just naive. People who give me shit for the stupid actions of my clients are my least favorite people. I have had people say "why does your firm represent them?" or "Can't you control them?" as if we somehow have special powers. You work for the people who pay you until it doesn't become worth it. You don't shoot down potential income because it might go all wrong. Of course they deserve some of the public ire for providing a poor broadcast and they shouldn't work with this service again. But if you are going to say they shouldn't have taken the deal in the first place, I'm gunna laugh and assume you have never had to worry about a bottom line. | ||

I'm not against bitching when poor services is delivered, but at least use your common sense and bitch at the right people | ||

ultimately he will have the VODs available on JoinDOTA's youtube without the stream's bullshit. i'd say there's a lot less to lose in terms of brand association for them than, for instance, EG and C9 who won't have control over the VODs like JD. | ||
