This reminds me of a question I had about how to go about doing multi camp pulls because I always seem to time the second pull wrong. Are there any tips or tricks to chaining your pull from camp to camp?

It's just timing. You practice it a few times and you get used to how low the creep needs to be for you to double pull.

Can anyone tell me what 'recrow' means? I've seen it in a couple of matches on YouTube but googling has failed me.
Edit: as in I've seen people type it in chat during matches.

It means the courier was sending items to someone and somebody else (the person who typed recrow) interrupted the command. The initial sender needs to tell the courier to send his items again.

If there is, it's probably way harder to do than finding the correct forum to post in, so don't bother

When playing solo hardlane as the dire, where is the best ward location for blocking the pull camps?
I heard it's possible to block 3 camps with one ward.

There is no 'best' location. There is a specific location that you can ward to block 2 camps with 1 ward (http://imgur.com/ROt7K) but the trade off for this is that the radiant know EXACTLY where your ward is and can deward it easily. Putting it elsewhere makes it easier to hide the ward and force the opposing jungler to guess where you've placed your blocking ward, occasionally wasting more than 1 sentry.

I am not aware of any way to block 3 camps with one ward.

some abilities like kotl-blast or windrunners powershot deal 100% dmg when fully channeled.
is there any way to tell how much dmg a not complete channeled skill will deal?
like 50% done = 50%dmg or sth like that?

would be nice to know, because you wouldnt have to "waste" time into channeling ti when you want to take out some1 with low life running away.
Ooooh, look at it go

For KOTL it's 100 per second of charge. For WR it's proportional to channel time, from 0 to max damage , each 0.01 sec of charge is 1% damage I THINK

How does this chat wheel work? Where you can call miss on your lanes or other stuff. I have to admit I've been too stupid to access it ...

The default setting is Y button if I'm not mistaken. You just hit Y before opening the chat via enter, and then use your mouse to roll around to what you quickly want to say and just click.

Default is, in fact, Y.

I believe you just press and hold Y, move your mouse to the appropriate message, then release Y.

FWIW every time I use it for anything other than "Missing" it devolves into 3 or 4 of our team spamming random chatwheel messages as fast as possible...

Is there a way to customize the chat wheel? I only need missing, care and get back. Would be nice to have like "enemy got X rune" instead of "stun now".

It isn't But radiance is generally a good item on heroes that have very high survivebility, maximizing the burn effect. And weaver is nearly unkillable

A tip is to bind the Care/Missing etc to there own keys.
I only use Missing, Care and Stun and binded them to M,K,L

To set it up, Options -> Controls -> Player

The only thing I am missing is that I can't call, Missing riki. So for the most part it's better
to use the old ss/mia/miss + which hero is missing.

It matches the way he tends to do damage in fights.

Weaver isn't a straightforward autoattacking carry. His ability to stand and fight someone is fairly weak because of his poor baseline defensive stats and low attack range. The way Weaver tends to fight is to rotate Geminate/Shukuchi cooldowns, doing short bursts of damage with intermittent repositioning. Radiance gives him more raw damage and also allows him to do significant damage during those repositioning periods.

It's also useful as a farming item, which is pretty core to its usefulness on any hero that would buy it.

Does anybody know the exact triggers for the AFK detection system? I know no EXP for like 5 minutes will do it, but anything else?

Mostly, I wanna know because I kinda wanna try getting lifestealer to level 6, infesting an allied hero, and then pretty much just spectate to see what happens. I *do* gain XP (if they do) but would I get AFK for not issuing hero commands?

Yes, I'm a horrible person.
