Meld without high range is kinda meh.

Refraction gives you 80 extra damage for 5 hits, way more than meld and the damage block is ofc also really huge.
The minus armor from meld doesn't really matter tbh, because most TA get a medaillon and since negative armor values scale horrible, the -8 armor from meld is not that useful early on, only when people have more armor anyway.


Back when I rocked the pubs with TA, I typically got range last, maxing refract and meld before even a single point if I could help it. Blink is core on TA anyway, and you should level pretty quick by participating in ganks so you'll have the range by the time there's any huge teamfights.

This is all anecdotal, of course, it just usually worked for me.
now run into the setting sun, and suffer, but don't mess up your hair.

Let's see if I'm faster at hitting temp and clicking than everybody else in all pick xD

Only played lanaya very few times in my maybe 50 games of dota 1, but god damn does it look so much fun.

I played TA a lot and always solo mid. I get range on level 1 for the harassment. Positioning is the most important thing if you play as or against a TA. If you are doing it right, you hit the creeps and the hero with the same hit. After the level in range, you max refraction with the other points in meld/traps and rush that bottle. Traps and Runes with your high burst will net you a lot of kills if you see the openings, but you should not force the ganks. If you can't kill anyone, just farm the dagger fast and no one will be save. :p

Get shadow blade on TA and fuck with your enemies in pubs.
Meld somewhere, shadowblade away and watch as your enemies camp the spot and bring dust.
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!

Apparently everyone who bought a Defense ticket will be getting a unique courier? Looking forward to making $400 in a couple years.

No, there's a chest, with a chance of a courier. That's my understanding, anyhow. Probably same 1% chance as any other key.
I liked Dota before it was Mainstream.

Hmm. I think this courier giveaway is a special case because Dota TV was so shitty but we bought tickets anyway while they were fixing it up.

Cyborgmatt confirms we all get couriers, Oprah style. 1% chance of an unusual version of the unique courier, I think.

Well, I definitely just got a chest and a key, and opened it, and I don't have a courier o.o.

Edit: Defense chest and key btw.
