http://www.dota2wiki.com/wiki/Armor you can read up all there.


This would imply that he is incorrect, and that it scales the same way on both sides.


The link even has graph next to it showing same trend.

Positive armor values:

Damage Reduction = ( 0.06 * armor ) / (1 + 0.06 * armor)

Negative armor values:

Damage Increase = 1 - 0.94 ^ (-armor)

Just to give you an example:

10 armor gives 37,5% damage reduction, -10 armor gives 46,1% damage increase.

Considering these values are correct,

If the enemy has 10 armor and gets it reduced to 0, he will take 60% more damage from attacks.
If he has 0 armor and gets it reduced to -10, he will take 46,1% more damage from attacks.

So armor reduction gets stronger as the armor increases.

.... Maxing meld before refraction? what is this? TA prepatch? Refraction is so OP after Icefrog changed it lol... max that shit first you get yourself +80 dmg PER HIT @_@ and that shit last for its whole duration so basicly a relic + hammer @_@

Didnt have much chance to play her after icefrog tweak her skills as well as seeing how the meta change but this will be fun.
Notice on the patch note: TA is IN -cm tomorrow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! She doesnt need 1 week trial period

all armor above zero gives 6% EHP per point..
From the Ghastly Eyrie I can see to the ends of the world, and from this vantage point I declare with utter certainty that this one is in the bag!

its situtational, but remember that medallion + crystals will give much more increase in overall dps and utility than deso, and doesn't take an orb slot

negative armor scaling below 0 is quite good for a bit, for example, -10 armor is around +45% physical dmg, but it dramatically loses power past that whereby even -20 armor is only around +70% physical dmg, so in that day its less useful than if they have positive armor in practice

ex. if you have -10 armor, against somebody with 10 armor, you'll do 1/(.625) dmg = 60% more dmg to them than if you didn't have reduction, which is better than negative armor scaling compared to if they had 0 armor

also, its pretty accepted in most situations that going 1-1-1, and maxing refraction is the best way to go, then it probably depends on team composition and dps environment as to whether to max meld or blades first after that
When in doubt, just believe in yourself and press buttons

So news going around the block: WCG pick up DotA2 for the first time in history, Dota2 replacing LoL since WCG and Riot didnt come to an agreement. Russian DotA2 WCG qual already dated etc....

Need some legit news source to confirm all these.

Has WCG ever picked a game that was still in beta stage? I don't think so. Would be great for dota2, but if WCG still sees itself as the esports olympics, wouldn't it be against their spirit to pick a game that is not even available to everybody?

It is available for everybody though, they've been selling beta access for a while now.

yup, the game is no longer considered beta as you can just legally purchase the 'access' right now.

the first news source was a random chinese article but it was pretty sketchy... then getfrags post their 'confirmation' on some sort of russian qualifier...

Writer talks about the voting process for a game to be considered. He goes on about how in addition to players voting to their game, the viewers votes are also important. He then state that the developer needs to be in agreement with the various parties as well. So he thinks Dota 2 will make it as an official game title because it is popular in most countries, thereby securing enough votes from the players and viewers. He also thinks that there is no way for Valve to give up this chance to promote the game.

Claiming that "DOTA 2 [is] still in closed beta" doesn't exactly give bonus points to that article. =D

Yeah that short sentence is pretty silly when you consider the lengths of each games competitive life :p
implying that DOTA's competitive scene hasnt really taken off yet is just laughable.

well thats not the point. i stated that these are still rumors and i am looking for more reliable news source. We all know that WCG has always dodge DotA in the past despite popular demands simply bc there are issue with Blizzard copyrights. Now the game is developed by valve and majority of chinese proteams are switching over, they might as well try to aim ahead. Their main market is still china main land but korea/taiwan so i dont think LoL will do much for them.

Has been tweeting people to find a more reliable news sources but no response

eh, you guys are reading too much into that. i'm reading it as that they're more surprised that a game that hasn't officially been released yet has been chosen by WCG.
