The other exception is Divine Rapier. Divine Rapier normally isn't shareable (if you drop a Rapier and someone else picks it up it's Muted as normal), but if the Rapier carrier dies the Rapier is dropped on the ground and becomes fair game to be picked up and used by anyone who picks it up.


rapier on first drop is tied to its original carrier, so if his ally picks it up, it's muted; it only becomes a free rapier (usable by anyone) once it's picked up by an enemy of the oc

Why is slardar suddenly a good offlane? In my mind, he can't trade hit, doesn't have long range, his sprint allows him to run but also make him die quicker.

His recent buffs don't seem to ameliorate these problems. So why is he good now?
Best or nothing.

Straight buffs for 11 patches, just no one worked out he was really good. He also didn't fit the previous Leshrac/Storm/Lina patch very much but fits this one quite well, lots of fighting is good for him and his 5 second -ve armour ultimate. If supports in lane screw up he can deal out a lot of damage. Dual lanes are popular at the moment, which is good for heroes like Slardar which can get easily zoned solo against a defensive trilane. Once he gets a blink he's very powerful, without much other farm.

I may be missing something obvious, but is there any way to start the game chat with both "return" and "enter"?
edit for clarification: See image on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enter_key

"see picture on the wikipedia article"
RETURN is the big key above your cursor keys
ENTER is the one on the right side of your numpad (below +)

as for the question, it should be possible to map the same function to multiple keys right?
if you can't do it directly through the options menu you might have to use the console to do it

lmao so there is a way to not do that?
i swear i can't rebind kp_enter because it defaults to messagemode every time i launch the client
maybe try adding an appropriate command to the game_convars.vcfg?

Is there any way to get the "Duels Won" popup animation with the Rune of the Duelist Indominable, without holding the two swords (Blades of Voth Domosh)? I don't like how the two swords look :/

sven's ult doesn't boost your strength, it boosts your damage and it's based on basic attack damage (bonuses from items not included)
so yes, confirmed
