Desolator is buyable but only works on initial hit.

IIRC SB can't buy Basher (shows "Disallowed for this Hero" when you try to) and I assume it's the same for other bashing heroes.

I still don't see anything in the backpack. Is the client bugged?

As far as I know, vanguard still does not work with kraken shell, but that's about it.

the list is a good one that was posted, also TA's blink no longer gets cancceled if you have Refraction up(which is pretty frigging huge). Also Jungle Creep AI is odd so it allows for Smoke trick, where you use a smoke of deceit on yourself and use aoe spells to take out large stacks of creeps while being invisible(Ion Shell, Static Remnant, Rot, or Wildkin cyclone).

Yeah, I figured if deso procs, it should on the first hit only, otherwise, that would be stupidly imba.

Thanks for the list too, Didn't know about the Refraction thing, I love playing TA as well so yeah

Jungle creeps in general feel like the least finished part of the game. Dragonspawns and Jungle Stalkers aren't even in the game yet, creeps don't sleep at night time or leave corpses, and some of the creep spells don't quite work properly (Satyr Hellcaller only Shockwaves when there are 3 heroes in range, not just 3 units of any type; neutral Centaurs and Furbolg stomps don't have cast animations even though player-controlled ones do; Dark Troll Warlord can Raise Dead even on units that aren't supposed to be raise-able).

I was Shockwaved when I was passing by a large camp with just myself + an illusion before, may have remembered wrongly though.

those are the most common (and the best)
swapping out some stuff for mana pots is okay too

Although that might be ok if you are in a trilane with support to keep them off you. My general rule of thumb is pot+tango on ordinary characters against normal lanes. As something like invoker I might get a tango, a salve, or even nothing depending on lane, as a pudge I might get 1 or 2 salves, and as any mid I might bottle rush with not much (if any) regen. Against something like qop or tinker I might get 2 tangos instead of a salve, etc etc etc. Figure it out
The only barrier to truth is the presumption that you already have it. It's through our pane (pain) we window (win though).

If you are mid and go only tango with no salve you won't be able to last hit on the opponent side. So if you fail the block you will miss last hits the entire first wave. All that is required is for the opponent to right click you, then when you both back a bit she uses salve, you use tango and you can't get near the creeps again for a minute, when the opponent has bottle and does it again.

Depends on heroes of course, true for most though.

I said might. Most common on melees with some sort of nuke, like NS, beast, or tiny who can spam it to get 3 last hits for bottle. But I can't remember last time I lost the block (unless you count a couple of times when an obvious mid decides to walk into a side lane when creeps just spawn so I'm force to go to mid 20 secs late TT).

In all-pick, is there a way to default to grid view so that I don't have to manually switch it to grid view?

I don't think you can default to grid view, but swapping between views is hotkeyed to ctrl, so it's not that much of a hassle. Only downside is that there's no way to random from grid view (unless i'm blind/retarded)
