In DotA 1, they get moved to where you were when you cast hook (and your hook gets displaced if you are displaced during Hook's cast), while in DotA 2, they get moved to where you are when the hook connects. It's how Force Staff+Hooks work in DotA1, but don't work in DotA 2 the same way. | ||

force staff hooking might seem like proof but if you hook someone by fully utilising thr extra 300-400 range from force staff, they arent hooked to where you casted the skill for example ive seen vids where pudge hooks from sentinel cliff over river to scourge using force staff and both heroes end up in the river instead of one on the cliff and one in the river | ||

Leshrac gets pulled all the way down to the low ground where Pudge was when he started the hook, not Pudge's ending point on the high ground. | ||

I recently played a string of games where my clear inexperience was really pissing people on my team off, which of course made the game less fun for me and, I would imagine, for them as well. How should I approach games that I play to mitigate that sort of frustration? Or should I just play against bots until I'm more of an expert? | ||

They are not perfect, but they will teach you to avoid over extending and can practice to some degree the basics (like last hitting, denying, skills, etc.). Might want to try that first and get some more experience. But in the end of the day, we will all come to realize that we suck at the game. It is something that one should accept and just try to improve. We all have horrible match and do some really stupid things at times that make people rage. But that it DotA for you; just have to learn to have a thick skin and keep playing. | ||

They just been such a pain in pubs especially at my (low) level Ward the shit out of the jungle. Send a support into the jungle for even more harass/kills. Leave a random creep standing in rosh pit. But noobs almost never smoke in; it's just bad map awareness/lack of wards. Take note of the time rosh dies and respawns. When he's about to respawn, get ready to ambush the rosh pit or force creeps back so they can't rosh easily. Pick stunners instead of slowers because lycan can't be slowed and ursa is still pretty dangerous when slow moving (some retard will just go say hi to him). Or just pick veno and leave little wards everywhere. | ||

They just been such a pain in pubs especially at my (low) level Roar/howl are very loud spells. If you are in mid on dire and the ursa/lycan is radiant. Make sure you are listening at around 8-12 minutes. You will hear the rooar/howl. another way to shut down an ursa/lycan is to build a heavens halberd. Often you can "bait" the lycan to run at you and just quickly halberd him, and due to the rarity of the item he will not realise and die while you take no damage. Also the evasion is super good verse ursa because of the way he does damage. | ||

They just been such a pain in pubs especially at my (low) level As with other ideas people have proposed; should focus on warding the camps themselves in the jungle (me just mentioning it more specifically). There was a thread on it, but if you play AP, you can always go BH and harass right in the beginning. Essentially, you will go for some tangos, ring of protection, clarity potions, and go for shadow walk first. All you will be doing it hanging around the Lycan and last hitting all the creeps. If he focuses on you, you can just vanish and stick around him. Keep in mind, it really just works on those that cannot adapt very quickly, but it will force the Lycan to change their playstyle. Ursa can still end up laning if there is a stun and stay dangerous (Lycan is not much of a threat till 6, although wolves can be an issue). | ||

They just been such a pain in pubs especially at my (low) level First Rosh is actually not that big of a deal. Make sure you time the first Rosh though as second and especially 3rd Rosh are critical. Before second Rosh, you should ward the area with BOTH sentry and observer wards. The sentry wards still let you see them through smoke, and obviously also allows you to counterward. The only reason people get away with smoke-Roshes is that enemy supports are too lazy to use both sentries and observers, despite the fact that if there's ONE spot that you should sentry at that point in the game, it should be around the Rosh pit. Also, Ghost Scepter is a necessity lategame against both heroes, particularly for supports. It's much more practical than Halberd, both because it's cheaper, and because both heroes will buy BKB. | ||

Also never thought of listening for roar/howl; and thanks for the ghostscepter tip as well! I read BH anti lycan thread but don't really want to do that because it seems that the only time it would work is when the opponents are slacking, thought i guess it could make for some fun games. To me its kinda like 4gating your way to masters, fun but not practical strat at high levels. It is not reliant on stacking since lycan does not need to stack or pull. What it ultimately comes down to is which player is superior. Which ever is better, they will come out on top. So, it is not something really done if you are really bad and think the opponent has the upper hand. But if you are confident you can at least play evenly, you will be able to at least piss off the lycan. | ||

To me its kinda like 4gating your way to masters, fun but not practical strat at high levels. The idea behind bounty hunter aggression is what is important. If you go even when they have someone jungling and you don't then you actually end up behind. Most jungles get incredibly low early on and can't jungle effectively (or at all) if you bother them. Additionally you need to win the lane that is short a person, preferably by controlling the lane and making sure they get very little exp or die trying. If you let the lycan free farm you shouldn't be wondering why you lost the game. | ||

but gondar's really good against lycan cus when you track him he can't hit anything also push staffs and ghost scepters help a lot (against most melee carries actually) lycan won't have howl when he's doing rosh the first time and ursa should be spamming his ult so those aren't very good indicators | ||
