Yea happens to me and the mate I always queue with. When we play duo we get better people than when we group but to me i'd rather have a worse player that doesn't rage than a good player that does. Although I'll never forget being raped by Dendis ursa mid :< | ||

Can't play Puck no matter how hard I try and changing the setup around all the time is too much too ask for  Lanaya I only sometimes fuck up the trap detonation, it should really be under the same hotkey as the hero detonate oneThis may be blasphemy, but in between not being able to play WC3 DotA and getting a DotA2 key, playing LoL for a a couple of months helped me get used to the QWER set-up. That said, the first time I played Tidehunter I kept spamming V for late Ravage lols -.-;; EDIT: You can probably change it under the unit controls. Changing trap detonate to like D that is. | ||

Does this change make TA competitive viable? I know people already get blink on her, and she gives good global visibility and has great mid-game survivability, but does her poor early game cripple her too much? | ||

I'm a big fan of urn + medallion, even to the point of delaying dagger. | ||

Apparently Orange used this to their advantage yesterday. Does this change make TA competitive viable? I know people already get blink on her, and she gives good global visibility and has great mid-game survivability, but does her poor early game cripple her too much? TA is already a heavily sought out pick in the existing SEA DotA 1 games receiving first round bans in almost every game. Though I guess that can be attributed to the differing style that exists in SEA DotA but she is already a very viable ganking/semi-carry that can snowball into a hard-carry in a fashion that isn't to different from Clinkz. Her early game is also nothing to scoff at as long she isn't against a hero that can shut her down too easily (QoP being a prime example) as her Refraction and Meld allows her to win the lane without taking too much hurt and Psi Blade is a very good tool for last hitting targets you otherwise cannot. | ||

http://dev.dota2.com/showthread.php?t=45753&p=281082 this is a big fat balance change and makes her into a very strong pick imo. i also dont like it because she was already a viable pick before and now she's insane | ||

Though she already is the Lycan of SEA games together with Naga Siren  | ||

You go blink when it's the positioning that's the problem. As TA you really shouldn't have problems with having enough damage unless you had a really bad lane. If you can't gt any kills early, damage items should help you more. Dagger is the best thing to speed up your farm on heroes :D | ||

Once I start going refraction+meld with very little psiblades I might start really liking that blink more. Then ofc you feel like you need more damage lol | ||
