Bottle is your go to option for pretty much any mid hero that needs mana and health. Notable exceptions are Invoker (health regen from Q), Batrider (up to personal preference, he doesn't really need the additonal manaregen tho), Necrolyte, OD and probably one or two others I can't think of right now.
Sidelane bottle is solid, but only if your team is clever enough about the courier usage that you can bottle crow effectively or if you buy a 2nd courier specifically for that purpose.

Do anyone know VODS which showcases good gameplay of bounty hunter, batrider lonedruid and rk? I have been missing out on shit load of tournaments thanks to various commitments such as NS and i have absolutely no idea where to search from. If you guys know anything i hope you all can tell me! thanks!

having trouble figuring out what rk is...
i cant link any vods because im on my phone but lgd vs dk and notidehunter vs navi are some vods that come to mind for lone druid
hes played so much it honestly isnt very hard finding games of him but the ones i specify show a 12 item lone druid and a 17?min radiance
as for bh i think if you look at a lot of ig's games from last year yyf played a lot of bh with high success

Sometimes it is not worth upgrading your stick to a full wand, particularly if you don't already have iron branches from the beginning of the game or if you're farming fast enough to get bigger items anyway.

No. Only one crit can ever proc at a time--if two crits proc at the same time, the lower damage crit is ignored.
Basically don't ever bother with buying crit on heroes that already have crit--it's not cost-efficient.

It takes longer to say RK than Sven. And Sven makes you think of a Nordic supermanly badass.

That's a little different tho because the different on-hit procs (tidebringer, lothars, crit) actually stack. The extra daedali (daedaluses?) are just to get your proc rate up for that GG one hit ultra-kill.

I've seen tinkers pick up bottles when they're on side lane so its not strictly for mid its just a really popular and recommended thing to do when playing mid and alot less common for any other laners to really get a bottle.
So yeah this guy is right. Buying bottle when you don't really need it means you just invested in something thats really a waste when that 600 gold could have been used for early boots (like whats pretty standard now because of the price nerf) or some other item that you want rush if your a carry.

1. Is there hacking in MOBA games? Is it because DOTA2 isn't popular enough yet, or did they actually put fog-of-war information server-side only?
2. How much trolling can a person do before the reports have consequences? What consequences? I early-left a couple bot games and know that an early abandonment is a 24-hour low-priority queue penalty.

Map hacking is impossible in DotA2 simply due to the way valve designed it.
And DotA is plenty popular already.
And i don't know, not a lot, my friend trolling 2 games in a row and was sent to low priority from reports alone(According to him anyway).
And yes, leaving puts you in low priority, because it's bad mannered.
Low priority means slower Q'ing(Generally), no items, no BP and you're grouped with the kind of people who will rage-leave.

If that's true, fucking-A! Finally a company doesn't put information the character doesn't need client-side (*cough* blizzard).

That seems perfect. The first game could be a fluke ( I went 0-14 as Huskar once and everyone thought I was feeding, and I was trying my best). Two games with most reporting you should be an immediate ban.

so basically, stick always, unless i'm some hardcore assassin or split pusher, and upgrade always if i bought it unless i'm really fed or i didn't start branches, although from what i can tell everyone starts branches

If you're playing a bot game with only yourself vs. bots there isn't a penalty for leaving early, considering it's just you.
