Dendi Axe: Pick a team with healers to support, also some stuns and push. Creep skip with the whole team between the T2 and T3 bot from the Radiant, pull the mid creep wave there. Rush Vanguard, then go for Rosh.

Tobi's SK is baaaaaaad, btw.

Does Dendi mean anything in Ukranian/Russian? I'm listening to this random Russian song on a stream and I swear this guy is saying "dendi dendi dendi"

I think his name comes from a Chinese SNES clone. I don't think it actually means anything though

Ugh. Just had my first game, and the whole game some guy was crying like a baby about how OP Riki is. Honestly, it was worse than Kassadin/Starcraft whine. Oh well! Back to trying to learn this game.

Once bkbs start popping up your impact as Invoker will drop. But even then, you have 10 spells to utilize, 4 of which have some form of cc. Late game, get Scepter and just spam your shit. You do a ton of physical dps too with Exort + forge spirits/alacrity.

Depending upon the early/mid game, Invoker will have different roles in the late game. The general idea, however, is to get a Scepter and any mana regeneration item and proceed to use all your spells in large team fights. Unless you have played Invoker as a hard carry (which I think is a terrible idea, there are so many other ways to play him effectively), your role is now a support / caster. Try giving your carry Alacrity to boost his damage, cold snap on enemy disablers to render them useless, and cast Meteor/Tornado/EMP/Deafening Blast to just dish out as much damage as possible.

make sure to get force staff to land ice wall, easily one of his strongest spells and commonly least used by the average player

*gets a headache from reading all of that*

Sadly, I am still only at the stage where I can do maybe half the spells pretty well. I still have a long way to go I see, just need to get accustomed to and naturally pick the abilities.

Start out with the Quas/Wex skill build for Invoker. With Tornado + EMP to help out in team fights, Ghost Walk to escape sticky situations, and Cold Snap to support/kill, Invoker becomes a fearsome hero. An added bonus is extra regen and movement speed - move around like a true spectre~

-wtf mode is your best buddy for stuff like this.

~15mins of spamming per day and after a week you'll have the combos internalized.

TThanks for the advice all. I will take it all into consideraiton

I usually go tornado and cold snap while in mid early game. Tornado to help damage all the creeps and give me a quick edge on the hero if going for gank. And of course, cold Snap for added measure. I do love Tornado skill.

You can probably troubleshoot a problem like this with monitoring software such as GPU-Z. If I had to guess there's probably an issue where your GPU is sometimes stuck running at a lower power state (optimized to render video, for example) which causes degraded performance. Avoiding the problem may be as simple as closing your web browser before launching Dota 2 and/or avoiding the Heropedia videos in the game's Learn tab.

There were a few things that didn't work as intended at TA's introduction, but the real reason is that she's one of those heroes that only a handful of people could play in the first place.

primary reason not to hold TI2 in the states, honestly.
Those small maps were like a boxing match in a phone booth.
