Game never seems to save my settings? Everytime I close it and come back it sets back to what it was previously, so if I try and join a new channel / change my server settings it doesn't save for them for the next time I come on and i have to do it all over again.

Currently stuck on US east/europe and I just want europe .

Daed > MKB if you have high attack damage already. MKB > Daed only if you're a low base damage hero, someone like Windrunner or QoP.

TA almost always gets Daed instead of MKB.

edit: Obviously MKB gives you true hit which is needed in some situations.

Or the mini stun which stops TP.

Ministun is more of a 'cherry on top' rather than the reason to get it. It's simply not dependable enough.

Check steam cloud synchronization, it might be turned off somewhere in steam, thou it should save it anyway if you don't change PCs. Also for some ungodly reason your cfg files might be read only ( possible if you downloaded one from somewhere, they don't save if the author made them read only)

You can do it in the console with the command "dota_apm", but it only displays in the console.

Are the only coordinated team strategies pushing or team fight? where do heroes that don't emerge for ~20 mins (ie morph) fit into that? is banking on your hard carry a strategy in of itself?

I ask because I don't understand how the dota 2 metagame works. Aside from new heroes I don't understand what makes teams pick uncommon heroes beyond it being a good pick at the time or vs a particular combination of heroes etc etc.

It has been explained to me this way : Ganking strat > Pushing strat > Turtle strat > Ganking strat. And you can do a 4 protect 1 but it's kinda out of flavor.
I can't really explain you the picks because I don't understand it very well :p And for the last thing, it should appears to you if you play more, imo it only comes with experience when you draft

I think right now the pushing strat is much stronger than the others. There is a reason why all the top tier heroes are great push/counterpushers.

Bh is getting picked more and more. Pushing strat is just prefered because of NaVi 'why win in 50min when you could win in 20'

A very big part of dota is what the top teams are currently most practiced with. If a team comes out of nowhere with a unbeatable (by current strats) strat, things will get shaken up a bit. Normally thou metagame changes with one hero at the time. The best thing is it's mostly not influenced by any balance patch directly

Why is it OK for Tinker to push all the lanes constantly but people flip out when NP does it?

Because tinker with tens of thousands of golds worth of items is an ungodly ball of rapid fire, unkillable, mobile death. Furion with thousands of golds worth of items is a substandard autoattacker, and directly takes the gold, at random, from people who were trying to get it there and then, whereas tinker is focused on cleaning up non populated lanes.
For every battle honour a thousand heroes die alone, unsung, and unremembered.

Tinker should only be pushing out unfarmed lanes. He has control over it, whereas furion doesn't

Thanks for the explanations .

I hope the game moves a little bit from the ultra-mega-chicken-tower-melting into a bit of ganking. As a a big time spectator I really like seeing people play different heroes, or even the same heroes in different ways.
