I guess if u play with ur friends who are quite new to the game and u like random medusa or something, things like this can happen.

It's better for that on Gyro because Gyro rapier first is scarier than Dusa rapier first (Dusa rapier is only better past the point where 6 attacks isn't enough to make everyone die).

Having first major item rapier as dusa is way less risky compared to gyro (if u can call rapier first less risky at all) but i got ur point about gyro rapier being scarier than dusa rapier.

Obviously i dont recommend going build like that in ranked or in a game with random teammates, u might get some feedback if u somehow lose those rapiers

Actually there's a really good timing where u have like bkb+hotd+rapier on gyro around 26-30min if you get stacked ancients and farm well, after that you just push for highground and murder everything. It's really scary and not sure how you even defend against it, wonder if pro teams gonna do that ever as it's really strong.
You must gather your party before venturing forth.

Duel never removed debuffs. It has a specific function of removing autoattack-disabling effects so that the target isn't locked out of attacking you, but Solar isn't an autoattack-disabling effect.

Is SB's bash infamous only because of the true random distribution, or the bash it seems is strong in some way? 17% seems quite low to me.
Best or nothing.

yea the true random makes it rarely feel like actual 17% for some reason

or more like whenever 2+ bashes happen in a row it feels like bullshit

It's also more pronounced than other bashes. It's pretty easy to not really notice if Slardar or AM bashes multiple times in a row, but Cow has the loud audio effect and knockback that make it really hard to not notice multiple bash procs. That, combined with no pseudo-random, and the fact that he starts at 17% (as compared to other bash heroes' 10%) makes him a famous bashlord early game.

Also if I understand correctly, the 0.5s knockback and the 1/1.2/1.4/1.6s stun do stack consecutively, making it a substantially longer bash than other bashes.

This is mostly it. Lack of PRD + 2 auto-bash skills means you're more likely to get outlier cases where you get bashed to death, unlike other bashes.

Is there any reason why greater bash isn't PRD? It was hard-coded in WC3, so it didn't use the engine's PRD calculations, but there's no reason why it can't be PRD in dota 2 right? Is it just to maintain parity?

to add onto this, if u ever have an eblade and theres a legion in the game, u shud always eblade the target u want to win the duel. the duel ignores disarm, so an ethereal target will still attack, but will not take attack dmg

Oh yeah I do.

So what's going to happen now? Valve focuses on Reborn and makes it the "default choice" when launching dota 2 and eventually discontinue the Source 1 Dota? I think it will be difficult for them to maintain 2 engines and implement the same patch versions over 2 different engines...

4k tend to take unnecessary risks and fight when they are in disadvantage. Also going for objectives like towers and roshan are more likely to happen when u reach 5k

Overall better situation management and recognizing threats and how strong both teams are compared to each other.

I dont think there is huge difference in execution and farming efficiency, 4k know how to last hit and how use their skills (ofc there are small improvement here too but other things matter more imo)
