How do you lane against an invoker,as a qop, or as a range mid in general?

specifically with qop i feel that i have to play really aggressively at the 1st 2 levels before he outdamages me insanely and i am unable to trade hits because of his cs and forge spirits combo if i jump in and scream.
Keep moving forward

HELP PLS!!!!!

Spring Cleaning Update 2016 has fucked my settings big time.

Long story short: my settings were working just fine after I downloaded the update - exactly the same as before. For some reason, I reset my hotkeys and started doing them over. THIS HAS FUCKED EVERYTHING AND NOW I CANT GET IT BACK TO HOW IT WAS BEFORE.

I dont know if its just bugged or what's happening. These things are currently not working for me:

How to have some hotkeys quickcast and some not? This used to work fine before update but now I cant seem to figure out how to select quickcast for individual item hotkeys. Same for abilities.

Select All Other Units is not working for me. Bug?

Auto Attack (for hero and that for summons) Standard is not working for me. Bug?

Thank you so much in advance for any help or feedback.

Edit:

Take Stash Items isn't working either. This used to be buggy beforehand as well but now it actually just isnt working at all. Bug?

NEVER MIND

Without changing anything, it suddenly worked.

Except there seems to be no option to select quickcast for abilities individually or am I just blind? xd

Regarding Auto Attack. Is there a way to make it so that your hero auto attacks after dropping a branch (for instance) but not after eating a Tango? Any console/settings wizards who know some tricks?

When is it a good time to pick Wraith King support? I remember having fun playing him but the last two times I picked it, I just got stomped... T-T
So are there any good compositions or particular strategies for him to be viable?

I would say you need an easy to bully off lane where you semi jungle the hero or trade with a melee offlaner. Other than that you want either a lineup that ganks or a lineup that needs a pickoff before being able to push. Team fight or face rush isn't suitable due to high ulti cooldown.

I'm gonna be honest, wk support (or in general) is mediocre right now and he just doesn't fit anywhere right now bc another support can do what he does, better. That being said, one of the things he CAN do is leave the lane to jungle and give his carry solo XP if the lane is super ez.

OK, something changed and im trying to realize what it is.

Before I could send the courier to base to bring me back my items (PLUS THE BOTTLE to crow) and I'd deliver full bottle and item/s

Now the bottle doesnt refill and remains empty. did they change the refill area so the cour can get the items in a distance which the bottle doesn refill?. IF so was this in a patch note that I missed?

To solve this, I believe shift-queueing Go To Shop -> Retrieve From Stash -> Return items to player should send the courier all the way in to fill bottle. I'll double-check it later today to confirm though.

hey, is there an option for Auto attack after spell now?
i can't see it

i need it because i use d (hold pos) to last hit and control movement and i just played a game of lina and half the time i was just standing there after blinking and using my nuke (at least i think thats what causes the issue...i mean it never happened in the past)

i have autoattack set to Always and my cfg (which may be wrong) is:
+ Show Spoiler +

unbind h
unbind s
unbind a
unbind d
unbind p

bind d "dota_stop;dota_player_units_auto_attack_mode 0;dota_stop"
bind s "dota_stop;dota_player_units_auto_attack_mode 2;dota_stop"
bind a "dota_stop;dota_player_units_auto_attack_mode 2;mc_attack"

dota_minimap_ping_duration 3

dota_minimap_misclick_time 0

bind "p" "mc_move" //Move click - use this to follow something

dota_health_per_vertical_marker "200" //sets health bar breaks



edit fixed it (i think) by using 1 instead of 0 in cfg

also i just buttfucked this smurf
http://www.dotabuff.com/players/209022802/matches?date=week&hero=invoker&skill_bracket=&lobby_type=&game_mode=&region=&faction=&duration=&timezone=Etc/UTC
the graph is me buttfucking for 15 minutes to +10k then my team getting rekted repeatedly when invoker comes online until a 20k swing down but we win the endgame fight somehow and took the game
best part is at start when i get sandwiched between a pudge and invoker at my tower and kill them both
i dont think that guy really is a proper smurf coz im pretty sure i would have been dead a lot more at the start ..

edit: no i am watching the replay, he has very good control and fluid mouse clicks, i think he was actually trolling and trying to win without using golem. edit2: yes def he was trying to win without using any spells/golem lol

the funny thing is you can see my autoattack not working every damn time i blink on him to kill him i just stand there lol (and then kill him)

he's not an especially efficient jungler for doing this either... you'd rather have a carry that can go to the jungle so you can take lane farm / exp asap tbh

That is pretty much the combo, u just have to wait for a moment for tornado to wear off before u drop ur meatball and blast.

If u have fast fingers and aghs u should try to Tornado -> Emp -> Meatball -> Blast for maximum efficiency.
Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you to their level and then beat you with experience. http://www.dotabuff.com/players/115305822 https://yasp.co/players/115305822

Use the standard guide from Torte. Then hope your team carries you. The hero is hopeless. Your team needs to carry you. (Think I got 8 straight losses on this hero doing the quest. Then won too fast twice in a row.)

On a more serious note, you are an initiator in most games. Not a pusher or team fighter, though you do that as well when possible.

Yeah they become invulnerable, just like all the other cyclones (brew + euls)

Invokers tornado also purges enemy buffs, like runes and stuff so that's also good to remember. Euls does that too, however, Brewmaster's storm panda cyclone does not but he has a different ability that purges buffs (it's called Dispel Magic)


The "easy" refresher combo is Tornado Meteor Blast Meteor Blast

But there are also Tornado EMP Meteor Blast Meteor Blast -> whatever, usually coldsnap / icewall

Or Tornado Meteor Blast Sunstrike Sunstrike, aimed nicely you can always get the kill with double sunstrikes. Usually more a solo kill combo on important heroes lategame.

There are some pretty good combo tutorials here:

Go QEQWQ R Q EEE

Go mid preferably, get bottle treads wand drums then either shadow blade or armlet. Both are good. Then bkb, AC and daedelus. DKs biggest damage increase item you can get is daed.

He's a really strong pusher, his dragon form sieges towers really well, try to use it to your advantage, get some early towers with your team. If you push tier 1s pretty fast you can go shadowblade to try and gank. Nice after they have lost free detection and it opens up the map a bit.

Since you're not very used to the hero I just recommend farming when your ulti is down, and then look for opportunities when it's up. Don't have to rush into things as soon as your ulti is up, but it's a good rule of thumb.
