also when in shop-range you can hear a little bell ring.
(might not be easy to hear when the action is on around you)
but in combination with the highlighted shop-sign it should be fine
Ooooh, look at it go

I am playing solo offlane versus tri-lane with escape hero type of Bounty Hunter, Weaver, Qop, etc..

My question is, what is the best way to play versus that? Should I just wait back very very defensively and level without last hitting, and try to get one or two last hits here and there and avoid to die? Is that enough for me or should I do more? I mean they are 3 on that lane, they can't level fast than me anyways..

If they are pulling is it critically mandatory for me to go invisible and put ward there? I mean this question is stupid, since I should do that so enemy creep can come to my tower..

Any advices how to play solo offlane vs trilane and not be criticaly behind in levels and get some gold anyways?


Don't die
It's harder to get farm with bh, with ds/wind runner it's easy to just spam spells (ion shell or power shot) to get some easy cs, but with bh, if you're against a trilane your #1 priority is to NOT DIE. You don't really need that much farm, you catch up on farm with track gold from ganking. Actually to be fair, your #1 priority for any off laner is DO NOT DIE. Get what you can, don't take unnecessary risks, and if you're playing an invis off laner, make sure to look at their inventories constantly to see if they've bought wards, and to check if they're started placing them so you don't get surprised

I've been watching some pro games. In those games, Enigma would rush for Mekansm ( after boot of speed and soul ring, or other early items ). But in pub games, Enigma would get Dagger first even before boot of speed.

My question is, which is better? getting blink or mekansm first, and why?

If your team doesn't have a meka i'd say meka is by far better for fighting as a team early on, due to how fast enigma can actually get his hands on one.

Even if you don't get Mek, BKB first is by and large more important than Blink first, except in games with super shitty picks where the enemy doesn't have enough interrupts for Black Hole where you can get away with Blink first.

Against most normal picks, you need BKB.

also against really bad opponents that clump up every fight blink is pretty good as well

If you solo queue you can't really predict how cooperative your team will be. Mek is better for coordinated teamfights an pushes. Blink dagger can be good for relatively early ganks out of the jungle. You need some other initiation on your team if you go bkb first because positioning can be difficult without any mobility item. Walking in with bkb on can take too long and they'll split up before you get their without some sort of aoe initiation first. If you don't plan to gank right away (like literally when you get it) get boots before your blink because it speeds up your jungling

Is it possible to get hit by the same spell twice?

For example Magnus shockwaves, and you blink into the trail after it hits you already.
You must gather your party before venturing forth.

As you can see here it was possible in dota1.
You could leave and enter the "projectile" and it was possible with certain spells that you get hit twice.
But if iam not mistake it is shockwave only and it was something hardcoded in the wc3 engine.

Iam not sure how it works in Dota2 as it happens so rarely. But if iam not mistaken it should be there too.

Yea i remember seeing it happen in a hex0r video(Doto1) with QoP ult.
Never experienced it myself though.

Quick questions for Razor.

1. Vanguard or not? Seems like he's one of the more viable heroes for it.
2. What to do for mana regen midgame? (I just buy a hyperstone, perhaps not an optimal strategy).

How does hyperstone help your mana

I assume you mean void stone. Best way is to bully your teammates into getting arcane boots.

Vanguard is terrible on ranged heroes. If you want regen hood is probably your best bet. If you need the health then just carry around a vit booster until you have the funds to upgrade it to a heart.

A ring of Aquila should solve most of your mana problems.

vanguard's not that bad on razor, generally there are better options though
rob, roa, or bottle should be more than enough to cover any mana issues

Vanguard is amazing on razor, especially when paired with a bkb, giving you the ability to tank through big Static links and do immense damage to the enemy team.
