If you're solo queueing, put chinese up and you're more likely to get chinese teammates for a better experience

This is legit in my experience, Chinese pubs seem noticeably better (less throws, better farmers, more aggressive in lane).


it has less to do with game plays for me but more to do with toxicity.
basically in the U.S. to speak chinese pretty much means you're a fairly accomplished international student with good education, not some 13 yr old american getting the world handed to him on a platter.

I mean with the recent influx of shit chinese in U.S. with rich parents this may be less true, but in my experience it's still much nicer. Pretty much no flames when we lose, and that's extremely rare otherwise.

Enemy team was Slark, Tuskar, Furion, Doctor, Undying.
I dont believe i needed bkb since they are depended on physical damage.

I think i had enough farm in early game for my core items.You are right i haven't get enough farm in mid/late game , but i believe it was not possible to farm with their snowball heroes. Do you have any suggestions how to farm while they have 3 heros with lothar, since i have gem slark and tuskar could pick up me then escape easily.
I dont think at somepoint of the game it not possible for some heroes to farm, against the formation of enemy team.

the enemy team does decent amount of magic damage, and snowball/pounce/cask/maledict are all really annoying for bristle to deal with
also bkb is very good versus sedge

i watched the first ~35 minutes of ur replay and you're playing WAY too scared
the turning point is at 25 minutes when u buy gem and then do absolutely nothing except sit by a t2 for 8 minutes, then die instantly in a teamfight @33 minutes
since u are by far the most farmed hero on ur team, ur entire team cannot farm while u are hugging a t2 because they'll get picked off and die
u had a very sizeable lead in the game and threw it all away standing next to a t2 tower. if u just followed dp or gyro around, or even just went off to farm on ur own (at 25 minutes ur pretty unkillable) they wouldn't have pulled so far ahead
just look ur XP/gold from 25 to 33 minutes http://yasp.co/matches/1595251625/graphs

also blademails not very good on bristle in general, though i don't think it was really an issue, at least for the first 35 minutes



So you are saying i should be more aggressive at this point? I was aware i was doing nothing, however as i mentioned i did not know what to do since enemy slark and tuskar pick up kills easily. I was really scared because I knew I could die if even go one step further, you are right about that's the point we lost maybe. blobrus mention maybe i should ancient farm, or push with team together.I should have gathered up the team. Thanks for your help, next time i won't buy bm and will get bkb against silver edge,

Is there any particular reason why Vlads is core on Ursa over any other lifesteal item? Is it just a legacy thing from when Fury Swipes was an orb effect?

Yes. Fury Swipes used to be an orb effect that's why people got Vlads on Ursa before. I guess it kind of stuck but people might experiment with MoM or Satanic as lifesteal items for Ursa.

I'm a good Ursa player, and i feel that Vlad is not anymore the best life leech item.
MOM is great, ofc you take so much dmg, but now with the new ultimate you can tank&apply more charge faster, MOM is really great.
Since 4/5month, you only have to buy the morbid mask, then finish ur phase / blink and go for mom after

How do you add items to your quickbuy from the shop without dragging it?

How do you exit your chatbox when it has text in it, but without actually sending the message to your team? (I see people on stream do this all the time, they press enter and type something, and then remove the chat box somehow without actually sending the message.)

A lot of people still get Vlads due to the mana regen and other bonuses it adds. The number of auras that it gives your team, especially considering how Ursa works as a hero, is really good for taking the early-mid game teamfights. Also if you're looking to end the game early it allows you to grab a desolator as your first real damage item which allows you to take buildings and blow up enemy heroes extremely quickly.

Vlad's still offers strong ability to set up pushes, but it takes a specific kind of game for Ursa to really utilize that. He's not Lycan.

Is there any rule of thumb regarding exp gain? I know each creep is a bit less than 50 gold, so I can say "let me get 3 creeps I'll have manaboot".
However, what about experience? iirc it's also a bit less than 50? I feel right now I have no explicit knowledge of knowing how much longer I should stay in lane before I can get lvl 6.

Melee lane creeps give about 60 experience each.
Ranged lane creeps give about 40 experience.
Experience is divided evenly among all allied heroes within experience range, so you'll get about 100 experience per creep wave if you're in a dual lane.

A question that you shouldn't be asking is:

How much will Dota2 cost? - no-one knows, it'll be big news when it's announced.
or
What hero is Spectre from HoN? - this question is easily answered in many places, including a Google search for something like "dota hon equivalent heroes".

So if you have any questions that you've searched and been unable to find an answer for, feel free to ask and the community will do what they can to answer!

how does nojok just get warned for essentially going along with the thread rules and pointing out that that question could be googled

I'm not sure if this belongs in simple answers or the naga thread. It may be situational.
I tend to get 10-11 cs per minute when I play naga which is not an impressive number.
This is because I don't really value trying to farm 5 locations at once, instead I like to put all of my illusions in 1 lane and pressure the lane so that the enemy team has to commit 2 heroes to keeping their t3s alive while my hero farms the jungle of the lane that I am pushing. I believe I get more pressure on a lane which forces people to stay near their base more whereas a support can usually easy deal with a single illusion. I understand that by creep cutting with an illusion in all 3 lanes can also put lane pressure but I do not think it's as much. Is my approach wrong? Or are there any situations that it is correct? For reference, I'm 3.7k which is really bad lol.
