I am getting stuck at 'Connecting to the Dota 2 network' on the loading screen.
Is this a common issue and how do I resolve it?
Already tried:
Updating Steam (steam up to date)
Verifying game Cache (Verified)
Reinstalling game (Reinstalled)
Next up is restarting the computer to see if it is a DNS thing or something.
Restarting steam is the best solution, if it doesn't help than it probably isn't only you. It's good to ask a friend to try and connect , atm I connected without a problem so you indeed have an issue

Why is silencer not used in competitive play, as a carry or in general really?
He's extremely situational, and needs both a lot of farm and to be involved in a lot of kills to be effective.

They're sort of an item that can be traded via steam trading system.

Thanks guys. I figured his silences would be awesome in team fights, but sounds like it doesn't really make up for the rest of it.

How long after buying can you resell items for the full gold? I'm curious if it's viable to e.g. buy a Bottle to regen faster and then sell it without repercussions. :>

You have 10 seconds for you to resell an item.......although I'd test it in a lobby game just incase that actually using the bottle makes it unsellable for 100%

Using bottle instantly removes the 10 second resell

k, that makes sense. Cheers.

it feels like it's a lot shorter then 10 seconds, more like, 3 or 4 seconds, I'm at work now but I'd love to see this confirmed (also would be nice if there's some sort of indicator ingame)

IT's ten seconds and there's a timer in the item tooltip near the sell price

How does cleave and quelling blade work? If you hit a creep with battlefury and quelling blade, does a nearby hero take 35% or 46% damage? This should also be the same on kunkka right?
|
in dota 2, quelling blade only works on the primary target for kunkka splash (the splashdoesn't even do extra to creeps)
in dota 1, bfury + quelling stack fully, and i think that's how it works in dota 2 but i'm not really sure

No, hes extremely situational. His Aura makes Iniator nearly useless for example. He hasnt even to carry when he counters ES/Tiny/SK.

Is there a chance that keys to treasure chests will drop?

No keys do not drop, you have to buy or trade for them

Which is a really smart way to make money. Half your drops are semi-useless treasure chests, enticing you to spend money to open them.

he can't push, stop pushes, gank, escape ganks, farm at a reasonable speed, or much of anything really
he'd mildly useful in a teamfight and can put out a bit of autoattack damage, but he's mediocre at both of those too so it doesn't really matter
What he can do, though, is really, really rape certain heroes in lane. Skelly king is a prime example, but any hero without a semi-spammable spell will get dominated by his Q, or at least force an unfavorable skill build. Many carry heroes like Faceless, pudge, Spirit Breaker, Sniper, etc, have low mana pools and no spammable spells, so a silencer that builds something like Q/W/Q/E/Q is going to really, really destroy them. They will have zero mana and will have almost constant DoT that you can't exactly shrug off.

Is Skadi supposed to stack with Satanic? I know that Lifesteal Orb Effects used to stack with Skadi but it was only for Ranged heroes, now it stacks with melee as well.

Yes, they allowed melee to be able to stack it because it's "unfair" if you like (I think that the WC3 engine limited them stacking in DotA 1). Melee heroes are already 'disadvantaged' as it is by being melee.
