his kit is "his ultimate uses farm better than anything else in dota, must be a carry"
doesn't really matter how u lane him since the plan as others said is just get midas so that you farm faster than 98% of heroes.

Do you think aether lens is worth the gold/item slot on the following heroes:

Bristleback
Techies
Batrider

I ask because i've heard others suggest the item for these 3 and honestly, i don't know if it's worth it on any of them. I struggle to find it worth the slot/gold on any hero aside from zeus and pudge

It's interesting on techies for mine placement but unless you can point to a specifically OP place to put mines only achievable with it, no it's not worth it on the hero. Plus once that place is known it's useless again.

It's interesting on bat for blink range + lasso range (basically double-dipping on initiation range increase) but still quite unlikely to be worth it. Plus bat already has a lot of very crucial items that this in no way displaces.

It's not remotely interesting or cute on bristle, just straight bad.

It's better than you think on a lot of supports. Added range on all your spells makes fight positioning soooooo easy, and with no recipe cost plus components available from the sideshop it's very easy to cobble together from casual items etc.

Aether lens is on my to-test list on Bane and Centaur.

On Bane, it's a luxury item that lets him channel Fiend's Grip from a safe position more often.
On Centaur, it only extends Double Edge and Blink Dagger range, but Centaur wants all the components. Also, being able to Double Edge from outside melee range is game-changing in a few matchups.

Heaven's Halberd is the most criminally underbought item in Dota. Together we can stop this.

Ogre Magi is a strong choice for Aether, but it would be hard to secure because you'd still get agh's first and might still want something like Force Staff. It also competes with Octarine, but I think Aether is an easier next item by far.

Disruptor potentially. Glimpsing from 2000 range is pretty enticing and could be an alternative.

An odd suggestion, but what about Pugna? 600 range Nether Blast is a lot safer than 400 and Life drain becomes a lot safer a lot earlier. Plus 8% dmg means 8% faster falling towers.

IIRC the interaction between life drain + aether lens is a little bugged still

I checked the big reddit thread and it said the life drain tether range increased with the lens range boost, but that certainly could be wrong. Either way it seems like it'd be fixed eventually right?

whats False Promise's interaction with invulnerability? Can you dodge taking damage/dieing/getting healed if you're eul'ed or whichever way otherwise invulnerable?

no, if you're invulnerable when it ends you take the damage whenever you stop being invulnerable

It's (just barely) worth mentioning that supernova will put the hero at full hp before applying the false promise damage.

So if had 1500 max hp but were at 300 damage, took 500 damage, then were stuck inside supernova regardless of the duration of false promise when you enter the egg you'd survive and emerge with 1000 hp.

I don't know that anyone typically has a period of invulnerability & life leech, but I'd imagine like Ember + Skeleton King (or Ember in Vlad's range) you could use Slight of Fist to get some extra time & life leech to maybe survive the False Promise.

About a week ago i began running into a problem where i often buy two of every item i try to buy, sometimes it doesn't happen though, i can't really seem to pinpoint why or when it happens.

Does anyone know anything about this or any possible solutions?
From the Ghastly Eyrie I can see to the ends of the world, and from this vantage point I declare with utter certainty that this one is in the bag!

False Promise should tick out while Lifestealer is infested and kill him.

Invulnerability doesn't block the dmg from false promise, it's just coded to wait to apply the damage until after the invulnerability has ended for most abilities. Probably for convenience so you don't die while omnislashing or something silly like that.

(Shallow Grave isn't invulnerability which is why False Promises doesn't kill through it).

How does Aether Lens interact with cone AoEs like Crypt Swarm and Dragon Slave? Does the range actually increase? Does the cone continue expanding over the enhanced range?

Yep.

And Aether lens is superb on an aghs sand king. I go Blink + aether + Aghs now. Initiation range rivaling clockwork's.

EDIT: Or you can blink past enemy team and then stun then back to you team, so your safe to do it again in a few seconds.

Been happening to me for like 3 months and I haven't figured out why. Only happens like 1 out of every 10 games though.
