Have you tried selecting it and putting it in a control group the first time you cast your ult?

no you have to select the death ward first, otherwise it just moves your hero and cancels the cast

ah, what i wrote only works if u have "auto select summoned units" enabled in options. because if you have both witch doctor and death ward selected, you can right click to change target

That is actually very helpful! I never managed to select my ward and cancelled it quite often when trying to target enemies.
Now if there only was the possibility to customize the options on a hero basis to that degree of detail, that would be awesome.

the other option is that if u have the setting "unified movement with ctrl" hold down ctrl and now u can right click heroes to direct the ward without moving wd.

Hi everyone.

Who should build the new Helm of the Dominator, and how does it help them more than other early game items?

It's commonly a core-hero item since you can farm with the creep and since supports usually have a more important item (blink/force) around that price range first.

It's solid on basically every hero who can buy a 2k gold item super early without delaying something too core. The aura stats are great, virtually every creep you dominate is kinda OP, etc. The real place it shines though is on dark seer because 400ms ion shelled 1400hp creep is disgusting for fighting, farming, everything. And the aura stats fit with DS's hero.

You have to have the micro tho, and you have to get it somewhat early because jungle creeps fall off as i'm sure you know.

As Sn0_Man said, usually the guys who want to stand and right click, it gives 10 attack speed + 10 attack speead aura + 6 stats and 8 hp regen aura too iirc. So transioning item, preferably for heroes that can use the creep to stack ancients (not that efficient right now). I would say everyone is a good item, but not core in any core. I would like to say that dominator is very popular on chen now also. Dark seer only if have the micro to vacuum-stun with centaur creep or surge stun with centaur.

thats just not right about ds tho

cuz you double ur farm with the creep even if you can't micro for shit. It's like having a radiance illusion always up that does 3x radiance dmg

Sorry, then, thought it was only valuable when you were able to use that sick combo. But it makes sense actually, i would just say to get a melee creep, since ranged ones will be harder (for noobs like me) to micro them to get closer and get the benefit from the ion-shell

yea i agree

big satyr gets overlooked in favor of purge satyr kinda often tho

that things actually sick for doing damage in fights and is probably the easiest creep to splitfarm waves with

troll nets pretty much a reliable root that goes through magic immunity

the best lategame ones are probably still wolf aura and frostogre though

Don't underestimate how useful small creeps are as tanky mobile wards. Stick them in the nearby jungle during pushes and don't worry too much about keeping them alive.

Why does dota not display the banned heros or randoming etc in chat during the picking-phase?
ive seen that this should actually show up (seen on wagas and synds stream), also other ppl seem to have it, just not me.
there havent been any obvious features in the options to get these infos displayed, so whats the trick behind it?
Ooooh, look at it go

Hey guys - i'm only playing casually with a friend, and we are always trying to find nice combos to go on the offlane
Can someone recommend some fun duals or some real strong ones? We've been doing a lot of underlord+mirana wich is pretty fun/strong, but we wanna try something new

thx in advance

Should I buy a bkb if enemy team is magic heavy but also has one or more bkb piercing skills? Or should I tank up or buy linkens?
