How come I can't see the streamer in Valve's watch feature? they have to be broadcasting via the steam broadcasting feature. and generally they wont have both twitch and steam broadcasting as it'll be a heavier load on their cpu/gpu | ||

(Aquila -> Drums -> Diffusal?) boots aquila radiance should come out at around 15-17 minutes. if you put drums in there as well youre probably looking at near 17-20mins. you could throw a treads in there as well but usually its ideal to just leave boots until you have radiance + manta so you can go travels and just farm the whole map. going anything but radiance as naga is honestly pretty shit because naga isnt pl. she doesnt do so well in early skirmishes because her images get owned easily which means your damage output with diffusal is pretty mediocre. your damage output with radiance is still mediocre, but you get hugely accelerated farm and the ability to control the map better, which is how you should be playing her anyway. so just go for radiance no matter what and then concentrate on getting whatever farm you can with your illusions once its up. if you however, find yourself unable to complete a radiance when its like 25-30mins in, then you should focus on your mechanics more and farming habits in general. | ||

It's probably better than jungle Jugg if you get the right support to leverage the early game Blade Fury burst. | ||

it's actually not _terrible_ as he can contribute with just levels even if he has no farm just make sure you get healing ward and don't be a hon player.. | ||

really somebody should test jungling speed in a crit/stats build vs a spin/stats build since one clears faster while the other can do stacking abuse. i mean, if ur serious about jungling jugg that is. and u probably shouldn't be. | ||

The advantage of Spin + stack abuse is that you can dual roam gank while still making up some moderate farm because you only need to be there at :53 to stack and eventually come back and clear the stack rather than jungling full time. | ||

Me and my friends made a low-level fantasy league, and my team' captain (who asks me for advice sometimes) got captain stolen from him by one of the players of our team, who was being a giant cockweed. The captain left our call and refused to have any input in drafting, and I had to draft on the fly. Drafting is fun, but the player who took captain refuses to play anything besides wr, brood, clinkz, drow, and mirana; another one of the players who is also a terrible person irl (meme spammer) can only play tanky heroes, feeding on everything else (tanky is considered like centaur and ogre-levels, he fed so hard as jakiro once). Thee two, combined with the fact that the second guy being terrible at last-hitting, made me super stressed, so I panicked and drafted this lineup. Their team got first pick, so my team got double pick. The list below is in order: Their team: QOP, Bloodseeker, Clockwerk, Dark Seer, Skywrath Mage. What could I have done better, considering the limitations of the two chucklefucks? Which team would have won, or would it depend on lanes? I've never really had the reins like that before, so I have no idea besides ranged/melee and at least 1 carry lol | ||

also this isn't the "ANALYZE MY DRAFT" thread although an unfortunate amount of people seem to think it is. also howd u have to draft if some other guy took captain??? | ||

So too in dota is low level drafting simply not analyzable in a useful manner because telling somebody to draft better might lower their chance of victory. The fact that Naga was a first-ban support at TI5 doesn't mean that you should pick her as a support in ur games, etc. Same with bounty hunter. That said ur draft seems fine except that I assume bloodseeker tore you a new one. And you probably let one of their heroes jungle freely without punishing it at all. | ||

People are going to play what they want to play, and will play best at the things that they're good at, not necessarily the best draft. But it's still worthwhile to understand what tools a draft gives you and what you should be doing with them (to give an extreme example, you don't want to try and stall for lategame on a teamcomp with no carries, or play a ganking game with a teamcomp with no initiating stuns). As far as the 2 teamcomps listed, yours is fine. You can't really play for lategame and kind of just have weaker lanes overall, but are strong enough in fights and have an easy time breaking towers or taking Rosh. As Sn0 said, pretty much anything that went wrong is more to do with how the game actually went than the draft. | ||

Crit first with stout/tango/qb into MoM/lifesteal, value point in heal at level two, value point in spin at level 4, get stats and ulti and crit otherwise, and stack large camp anyway. You can take stacks without spin once you have some items up, it's just delayed compared to maxing spin first. But you don't really want to come out of the jungle early anyway as you have relatively little impact as a hero until level 11 at least and a couple items. In terms of efficiency compared to lane, if you aren't getting ganked it feels roughly equivalent given there's no contested farm. You can start clearing the whole jungle pretty early on in one minute. Maxing spin for clearing stacks does work but you basically have no mana after spin + healing ward, making you want to go back immediately after stacks. And there's the downsides of maxing spin (low damage output with rightclicks compared to crit/stats, mana issues without points in stats. I feel like maxing spin delays the time you want to fight even longer. | ||

dodge through it and hit him straight into arse, thats how i like it. i mean. yea. agree, more than anything having people play heroes they actually can play rather than heroes that synergy 100% together is better way approaching this whole thing. f.e. having support naga initiating with sleep is useless if ur enigma/tide/magnus/ET cant time their combo wombo with the sleep. So shortly, ask what they are comfortable with, not the roles but rather the heroes, thats a good start. If some of ur "stack" has very limited hero pool, u either have make ur other picks around his hero, totally ignore synergy, or make him learn more heroes. I prefer the latter one obviously. | ||
