Pretty much every game

The standard build is Brown Boots Midas -> Magic stick + Drums + Basilius/Aquila -> Aghs -> BoTs

Invoker mostly gets midas for the experience gains from using it rather than the gold but he obviously benefit from the gold as well.

I guess having blink somewhere between Aghs/BoTs or atleast after BoTs is pretty standard too.

Not that I want to encourage filthy invoker pickers, but feel free to do something like null (or bracer or wraith band, this hero doesn't care) -> brown boots -> wand -> basi -> Midas, cause you can sometimes crush a lane much harder with the earlier stats. Delaying your Midas for a few mins is almost always fine.

Then you go drums, then some combination of euls blink force, then aghs, then whatever

Hi guys,

How does a Faceless Void deal with Clinkz? I was really well farmed (6:30 midas) but he would just silence me and kill me in 4 shots.... Does it just come down to better warding and not having him sneak up on me? Are there certain items I should build in that situation?

2.2K MMR player.

Thanks

You should probably link to the game in question if you want more specific help.

Also if your problem was being silenced then a bkb or manta should've been your go-to item.
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!

Well the issue was just that he would run up to me with a shadow blade, silence me, and kill me really fast before I could react.

I can't think of any other way to deal with this other than to just have really good wards all the time...

In team fights we were crushing face.

There is certain timing where clinkz is very strong, after first major item (whether its orchid/deso etc.) there are very few heroes who stay alive the initial burst.

Orchid is obviously stronger vs heroes like void storm qop puck etc who have escape if u dont silence them where as deso is stronger vs heroes who have higher hp/armor but have no way escaping clinkz.

Like someone said earlier items like Manta BKB let u escape when u get caught, but better answer is to pay attention where clinkz is/was and move accordingly. Wards help u to read his movements and dodge him until u are able to handle him.

Void is really good hero vs clinkz honestly, u just need to tank up a bit to stay alive and hope ur team has damage to deal with him in the chrono. Old MoM/Crit kinda stuff makes u so weak to his burst i wouldnt recommend going that route anymore.

Can an AA Ice Blast and an Oracle False Promise affect a hero at the same time?
And if yes, how is the interaction here? Especially with "healing"?
There can only be one Geisterkarle

Pretty sure u can die to Ice Blast shatter under False Promise, same applies to Culling Blade i think.

Healing does affect target under False Promise + Ice Blast iirc.

as long as you aren't under the ice blast debuff when false promise ends then you will get healed as per normal

That is not the relevant line lol
I think that has to do with when you were last reported or something

The relevant line is "player_behavior_score_last_report: XXXX"

First off, we don't have an official statement from valve regarding that number or what it means.

HOWEVER, it's fairly certain that it means that you get reported a lot. I'd hazard to guess that you play a decent number of low priority games. We also can make educated guesses regarding the impact that it has (matching you with and potentially against players with similar behaviour scores) but we don't know for a fact.

We do know the number is out of 10,000 so your score is clearly not very high.

Anything less than 5000 is really really bad, low prio level. You get 3x as much BMMMR (bad manner MMR) lost if you abandon a game than if you get reported. Commends have no impact on your BMMMR. It increases automatically over time, so just don't flame or abandon games for a while and it will slowly go back up.

It is unknown if you get matched with people of a similar BMMMR.

This was what I was wondering, myself. Whether I get matched with people deemed toxic by their algorithms. Guess Valve doesnt like transparency.

I mean could you imagine the reaction if they confirmed something like this? Idk. Even if it wasn't true it's prolly best that valve leave it to their internal matchmaking algorithm.

It is known.

Players who repeatedly engage in activities significantly harmful to the community are put into a separate matchmaking pool for two months.


http://dev.dota2.com/showthread.php?t=136838&p=1086255&viewfull=1#post1086255

We are making some improvements to matchmaking to put players with similar play styles together. For example, players who repeatedly abandon games before they begin, or intentionally throw the match. We want to make sure these sorts of players can more easily find each other, to increase everybody's enjoyment of the game.
