all % mana regen is % increase on your base mana regen (which is a the sum of flat number all heroes have + the mana regen their int value gives them)

non-base mana regen would be stuff like cm aura or clarities or basi/aquila/vlads/raindrops

don't pick invoker based on lane matchup, pick it based on team composition

invoker can basically come back from any bad lane as long as the team matchup is right for it

though off the top of my head, ember, dk, storm, sf, dp are probably the most manageable 1v1s early on, with things like ta, puck, od, and lina being generally harder

in dotabuff, the matchup adv/disadv section only has 3 mid heroes: good against medusa and zeus (for lategame reasons), bad against puck (probably because dream coil is one of the ways to reliably keep him locked down when he tries to ghostwalk, and the silence is nice?)

The servers can't handle rewarding everyone all at once so it happens slowly in chunks over time. You'll get it eventually.

How do you gank Dire mid? Ganking Radiant mid feels so much easier (coming from their jungle you can hide behind the trees near the radiant T1 and they can't really see you until it's too late). Dire i guess you have to come from top but they can see you coming from way further, Coming from bot you can't even cross their highground without getting in tower range. any tips?

buy a smoke

but yeah there are fewer angles to go from when ganking dire mid, if you do want to go from bottom, which means crossing the tower, they will need to be pushed up to radiant's side of the river

If rubik steals a spell he has to wait for the "spellsteal projectile" to come back to him for it to become available.
In case the target uses a spell during that period that is different from the last, which one does Rubik get?

pretty sure it just snapshots whatever spell the moment you cast spellsteal.
it's a very tiny cast time and what you're speaking about is akin to cast backswing.

no , the spell you get is the one that is cast last before the spellsteal effect reaches rubik.

This is wrong. You get whatever spell was cast when the projectile was created. You actually get access to that spell when the projectile either hits you or fades of its own volition, either after 2 seconds or it travels 900 range or however it works.

In either case, you get the last spell cast when you -cast- on them with spellsteal, not when the projectile fades.

Who knew rubik mechanics were so full of misconceptions?! I considered all of the operating principles to be correct at some point lol

How can I find statistics on hero lane matchups for pro games? E.g. if I wanted to find out the winrate of axe vs timbersaw in the same lane is there any site that has that kind of detail?

Only thing I could find is this https://www.dotabuff.com/heroes/axe/matchups
It's only pub games for that stat.
I'm sure that axe loses a 1v1 lane to timbersaw, but it seems that axe still maintains a 53% winrate against timbersaw. A whirling death build would easily be able to zone out an axe out of lane.
I carry hard!
