I tested it and after pulse, there about about a second which I assumed was like that before but can't recall. | ||

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 >.< | ||

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

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". | ||

That means it would've been a bug the way it was before. 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) | ||

All the google answers tell me to relaunch steam. 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. | ||

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. | ||

Our Jakiro quit around 20 minutes in a game where we were up 3 towers and 10 kills so we lost. 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. | ||
