Is there like a huge delay for enigma's black hole cast now? i blink and drop midnight pulse, lay down the black hole target but he just stands there for like a full 1 sec and then casts it

I do not remember how it was before, there is a delay. I tested it and after pulse, there about about a second which I assumed was like that before but can't recall.

Definitely felt different to me(was my first game since new patch), thought i had lagged out or something as enigma just stood there doing nothing, though heroes were still running away, so i was like wtf must have mis-clicked or something, so right clicked to move closer to them to re-cast, needless to say, as soon as my right click was about to happen he started casting the black hole and i had insta canceled it, not that it mattered seeings it missed 2 heroes it would have hit, had it gone off instantly.

It just felt wrong compared to last time i played enigma and i'd never had that happen to me before. After a bit of testing, if you blink > black hole, it is instant, if you blink > midnight pulse> black hole there is a delay. Probably intended but god it was annoying >.<

Maybe it's because of this change:
- Fixed units not always respecting the ability backswing time (without animation canceling), causing animations to sometimes end faster than normal.

Now the backswing of Midnight Pulse is not canceled prematurely. That means it would've been a bug the way it was before.

yeah, probably was an intended change. To me, it sort of makes sense. More like a balance issue since it is so commonly used. Perhaps they thought it was too strong or something. I do not know, but I guess it is not game breaking. I am curious to see some tournament vods and see if it influences them (since for myself at least, a second can be the difference between living and death at top level).

I would recommend heroes on playdota and items on playdota even though it might be difficult to identify heroes/items if you haven't played Dota 1. It is the most complete and accurate source though. Joindota also has a heroes section but none for items (yet). Usually if I want to check the stats of some item or hero I just google for "dota itemname" or "dota heroname".

yes, if you cast 2 spells without hitting stop or hold position in between, the spells will correctly wait until the backswing is done( cast water elemental with archmage like, before he starts attacking when you dont move/stop/hold position)

Is there a DotA 2 mechanics thread anywhere? preferred hotkeys or notable pros, keyboard tricks for efficiency, etc?

I keep getting stuck on "Connecting to the Dota 2 network" and it works fine when I restart steam and relaunch, but it's getting really annoying every time I want to play Dota I have to restart steam, is there a fix for this? All the google answers tell me to relaunch steam.

At what point in the game can someone on your team quit and give you a loss? Our Jakiro quit around 20 minutes in a game where we were up 3 towers and 10 kills so we lost.

Are you running DotA from steam or are you executing the exe ?
If you run it from your steam library it should automatically connect.


Question of my own : how does Puck's q skill work, like the teleporting part.

I'm using the shortcut created by steam which uses steam's rungame/id/# so it should be through steam.

Puck's Q is no longer 2 spells, it's just the orb. Etheral jaunt has it's own button now, use that after q.

I'm not too sure but it's something like this.

Abandon before 15 minutes:
You can win the game, the game doesn't count if you lose.

Abandon after 15 minutes:
Game counts like a normal game.

I have a friend I play with that sometimes (not every game), he will disconnect every 5 minutes or so for about 30 seconds to a minute? It's not his internet per se - since he is still on vent/his internet works...
Any ideas anyone?
