backswing is simply a "cosmetic" animation that is completely unnessecary | ||

If you never abandon then there are 9 other players in the game apart from you. All with equal chance to abandon over time. 4 on your team, 5 on enemy team. Over time you win more than lose by this. I've seen plenty of games where one player abandons and then 2 players on opposite team leave. Strange stuff happens. | ||

Strange stuff happens. ya its like more than half the time , if your player abandons early then your team goes crazy and you end up crushing them and they leave. also you get bonus gold i think | ||

If you were moving during the backswing there'd possibly be no delay between attack point and moving, whereas cancelling the backswing with a move command is gonna have some delay between attack point and the cancel. Plus moving during backswing would look stupid. Not like there'd be a major difference, but people are talking about UAMs being orbs and orbwalking being backswing cancels and all kinds of shit, it's hard to tell who knows what they're talking about and who's confused. I'm confused. | ||

I'm confused. To clear things up, you can't move and backswing simultaneously. You cancel backswing - move - attack - cancel backswing and so on. | ||

If it predates orb effects then that term is fucked, and I'm not sure what to call chucking fire spears without getting aggro in dota anymore. I propose we call it tit juggling. That way, you can orb walk and tit juggle at the same time, and people will know what the hell you're talking about. Maybe. | ||

auto cast is no less an orb effect, but will draw aggro ___ I'm not 100% sure, but my guess is it's from warcraft 3 because as mentioned above, we had items called orb of venom, orb of corruption, etc. that would give you an orb effect. I can't be certain that it wasn't borrowed from an earlier game though. (before warcraft 3 there weren't heroes.. but still you can't be sure it's not from a different franchise) | ||
