Does Lycan's Howl buff Brood's spiderlings damage? If it does, isn't that a little over? If it doesn't, are there other exceptions not mentioned in the Skill?

So hotkey question [ sorry i normally hate these ]

It used to be in prior patches that if you control bound summons or units to a hotkey [ lets say ctrl+2 ] then even if they expired, they would still be bound to 2 when they came back.

This made playing beastmaster, spider, bane, furion, enigma etc... really easy. Necrobook was ridiculous.

Anyway, the reason I ask is because it doesn't act like this anymore in recent versions. Especially with summons that ' level up ' such as bm's summons or eidolons/treants.

BM is one of my favorites but its really annoying to have to summon then re-hotkey your eagle and boar every time.

Anyone know of a workaround? I tried the option that moves all units under your control if you hold down ctrl....but doesn't really work for me cuz I spam ctrl binds a lot. Thanks yo.

Spiderlings aren't an exception. Howl buffs all player-controlled units. This includes Furion Treants, Serpent Wards, Venom Wards, Chen/Enchantress-controlled jungle mobs, etc.

Still works that way for me. Just now tried it in latest version with Beastmaster. I usually bind Hawk to 2 and Bear to 3 and when I resummon it still works. Even works when I increase the levels of that skill.

How bad is the latency from EU to USE? I'm considering playing there since it seems the only way to avoid the Russians.

You'll run into lag, brazilians and college students instead. Not really a step up.

It's fine, try it and see I guess but definitely playable.

Is there any way to disable pings? Never had a useful ping, best case scenario they're totally meaningless and worst case they get you killed/are incredibly annoying.

Still plenty of Russians on USE don't worry.

So, as a simple question, why DO Russians play on US east?

Just had a Huskar go 0-12 within 22 minutes. Suffice to say, he was Russian....

I await the reminiscent nerd chills I will get when I hear a Korean broadcaster yell "WEEAAAAVVVVVUUUHHH" while watching Dota

Maybe its just for shorter load times. I add in both USW and USE even though i get the best ping from USW, just so i dont have to wait 10 minutes for a game.
The only barrier to truth is the presumption that you already have it. It's through our pane (pain) we window (win though).

I think you are being trolled. I know we act Russian half the time since people are idiots and believe anything.

Is there and easy way to check which server would have the best ping for me? I live in New Zealand and not sure whether to use the SEA or USW server.

Try both and compare. Queue for USW, type ping in console, then next game do the same for only SEA.

Can someone explain how you can get the tower to stop targeting you without leaving its range? I also would like an explanation of tower AI in Dota2.

tower AI is simply attack closest target -> further.

If there are shits/heroes attacking tower (2 or 3 times) it will target the attacker
If there are shit attacking their heroes, target it. If there are heroes and shit attacking ally heroes, attack the heroes.
Issuing an attack command on ally creep while being targeted by enemy tower simply to trick the AI that you are its ally and stop attacking you.

thats years ago i read smwhere on playdota... could be wrong due to bad memory -_-
