Why does Gyrocopter usually build MKB (and why not Daedalus?)?.

flak misses w/o mkb
flak can't crit (or ministun) so proc-based dps doesn't really matter
mkb gives attackspeed and slightly higher raw damage

because group think

MKB is a favorite item of everyone for a long time (qop's use to get it regularly, for example) even though in reality it's not optimal
everything that rises must converge

This.

Sniper and Gyro are unique in that True Strike gets a lot of value on them even outside of situations normally involving evasion/miss chance, because fights in which they incur high ground miss chance one way or another are quite common due to how long their autoattack/Flak Cannon range is. You actually can lose quite a bit of damage to it, and so True Strike gets some specific value on them in scenarios where you wouldn't necessarily consider it on other heroes.

Also, homing missile isn't fast enough to stop TPs, so the ministun is more useful than normal.

dont argue more xD,
Correct answer was given.
Cit don't proc on flak atk like all orb effect
So to maximise tour DPS in teamfight, you need all your flak attack dealing max damage. The only way to reach dull damage is getting item with pure bonus damage. Best = Divine (too much risky) = MKB.

Hey guys,

Played a game as Tinker with a Techies on my team and his ability to plant bombs on the runes was suuuuuuper helpful.. was in mid vs. a Clinkz and basically got every single rune.

Any other heroes that are helpful at securing runes?

- heroes that doesn't need to be in a lane to exert pressure, e.g. tree, techies
- roaming heroes that are often in between lanes anyway can help pickup runes by just roaming at the right time, e.g. mirana, spirit breaker, bounty hunter
- offlaners who push can push their lane before each rune spawn, then safely pick it up without losing exp, e.g. dark seer, pheonix

as a bonus, if the hero rotating is great at man-fighting (e.g. tree, dark seer, clockwork), then if they get to the rune at the same time as the enemy mid, they can sometimes convert it into a kill. At the same time, if the enemy mid gets the rune first, they can often pick off a weaker hero trying to deny the rune.
Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic

Templar assassin can be good at securing her own runes because she can ward them herself or even lay traps along the way to them since they provide a good slow if triggered. in that sense, storm is good on his own too.

heroes that help you get rune control,
earthshaker comes to mind
bounty can be scary
chen/enchantress creeps
really anyone who shows up at the right times and is scary/not underleveled in case a fight breaks out involving mid hero.

it's convenient for techies because he wants experience and kills ideally, so he stacks mines where people are more likely to walk and not invest into wards for. although ironically, people de-ward river spots quite often.
like the above poster said, if it's convenient for a particular hero at certain times, they'll probably excel at camping runes too.

As far as I know, yes. Better let somebody else confirm it as well though.

Our team:

Clockwerk, Storm Spirit, Venge, Dragon Knight, Pugna


What's the best way to deal with Doom in this game?
They also had a Juggernaut, Silencer, Crystal Maiden, Venomancer

We got a ton of kills early on their heroes but couldn't end the game and Doom got out of hand.

You have Clock + SS, great gankers. They have so-so gankers. Get pick offs, then fight or push. Don't see you winning a 5v5 without killing a hero before it starts.

I mean u can always just swap out whoever gets doomed,plus if storm has orchid you can burst doom inside orchid time plus other stuns
or pugna aghs ult heal the doomed target.
plus with dk pugna u can just take all their towers incredibly fast and win on map control.
really its a dumb question. play better is always the answer unless ur like 6k or w/e it isn't some strategic issue its some sucking ass issue. There isn't some brilliant play with a given 5 man lineup thats going to win in pubs because any good strategy assumes decent play which is ur whole issue

from cArn-'s recent blog on Korean dota,
Our line up would be Doom, Viper, Timbersaw, Naga and Disruptor against their Lycan, DK, Nyx, Visage and Dazzle.

now admittedly this is some patches ago but I can assure you that support naga, safelane doom, timbersaw, and drowless old visage, old DK etc were all not good picks in the international meta at the time. Korea managed to remain an isolated microcosm that produced hilarious games based on a completely obsolete meta. If you read the rest of the blog you'll see that from a convincingly winning position team "monkey spanner" (yes that was their name) managed to attempt a baserace vs lycan for no reason and obviously lose. Very sad in the blog, but hilarious dota if you are looking for the clown factor.

DK just needs to get defensive items to tank the Doom then force Doom into a position where he has to Doom the DK (just get fights engaged in formation and slow him with frost dragon and it's impossible for him to run in and doom other people).

DK's like one of the best heroes to have eat a Doom because he's tanky enough to take the damage and has 0 cast animation so he can get everything off beforehand, plus after 16 he can control how much Doom actually gets to run around in a fight and limit his ability to pick Doom targets unless they use a smoke wraparound to catch your backline at the start.

Like if you're sieging a tower with DK, with Pugna ward behind him and everyone else safely far back enough, its super hard for that team to stop you unless they do a smoke wraparound because the have very weak burst damage and can't pick anyone except the DK to go on.

if you morph into dragon form while doom is casting doom, will he have to recast it? im not sure what you would call that interaction..but i know some heroes have spells that require that (storm + ball..but i dont think this is exactly similar?)
