sometimes when you buy all the components of an item, they don't merge into the item when they're on the courier - is this a feature or a bug?

If you have a tp in your backpack and an empty slot in your inventory and you buy a new tp from the side shop it stacks with the ones in your backpack and you need to move it over and wait 6s to use it... very annoying.

if you're in a shop you can move items between backpack and inventory instantly without needing to wait the 6 sec. for them to activate

you can increase the size of the minimap, but nothing else at the moment

I am getting terrible, terrible lag since the update.

And worst of all, it seems all means of showing one's fps and ping vanished or stopped working.

Is there anyway I can put then back up on screen?

The FPS and ping option in options still works for me.

Found out.

It seems to be ANOTHER of an endless stream of errors and bugs. It won't show up in 4:3. only in 16: 9 and 16:10.

And I still have unbearable lag, sometimes freezing the game for several seconds and even disconnecting.

I'm getting massive lag spikes after the update. The strangest thing is that it often affects only my hero, everything else moving fine.

It slowly climbs my KBPS and sometimes, but not always, it will increase the packet loss. It will freeze the game for several seconds, sometimes even disconnecting entirely.

Some of the time it will act VERY WEIRD as in, I CAN'T MOVE, but EVERYONE ELSE still moves fine, I see the creeps moving, enemy and allied heroes move, just I can't move.

The other times no one moves, but SOUND will remain normal. I will hear everything, teamfights and all, but will still freeze graphics.

It is not an FPS issue as FPS remain above 40, at least, during all times.

Don't know what it is, already called my internet provider several times, nothing abnormal there.

Is anyone else experiencing this?

Helm of the Dominator. I keep hearing it referred to as a support utility item now. If anything it seems to me like it should still be a strong farming item for cores. The +stats is nice and I think the regen and attack speed should help you farm more than life steal and armor. Not sure if I'm looking at it poorly, definitely sucks that it's a dead end item now but for a lot of cores it may be a better early game item than old HotD.

everyone's building it on carries, I never saw a supp buy it I think.

Purge's initial analysis was that it's a good support item now. I think it's the same fallacy as support drums, it sounds good on paper, cause it gives you health and an aura, so why should a core waste a slot.

But similarly to drums it doesn't give enough survivability to justify the support pickup and carries need cheap stats to fight and regen to farm.

I think the big question is when is it better than drums?

Also I kinda doubt I'm ever gonna buy that instead of Dl on a ranged core. Even on Luna.

Survivability, or I'd even argue utility. I guess they're the same, utility being a bit wider maybe.

I just don't see any game where I could make a 1.800 gold item before force staff / glimmer, as a support. And then it's what 25-30 minutes, too late for a flat +10 regen hp + 6 stats item, imo.

But yeah, RTZ has been spamming it on jugg, after aquila. Merlini buys it on core quite often, too.
