Don't forget that bashes also go through bkb's, so it's helpful if your carry can make a basher/abyssal. Whilst it's great if your team has ultimates that go through bkb, in situations where you don't, just try to get out of the way. If your team doesn't have an initial way to lock down the bkb'd hero, it's highly unlikely that your carry would bother with hitting the bkb'd target, so build items like force/drums/ghost scepters. | ||

If something is within them at the time a camp would spawn, it won't ^--- Keep in mind that that map isn't 100% accurate for DotA 2, more specifically when it comes to high-/lowground. e.g. the Radiant highground ward doesn't block the large camp. | ||

(i.e., if I place a sentry ward on the left side of a solid tree wall and am standing on the right side of the solid tree wall on top of an enemy observer ward, can I kill the ward?) IIRC, sentry wards provide detection within their radius irrespective of line of sight. They do for instance see wards on cliffs when placed on the low ground. As long as you have vision of the ward, you should be able to destroy it. | ||

Treads also offer more HP/Survivability. The largest reason is probably that bottle is common on both and tread toggling makes both bottle and power treads significantly better. NS doesn't really need the extra MS from phase to chase, it's generally used to get past creep/body blocks. | ||

The exception is for soloing the hard lane where you need both denies for your own lane. Note that you can deny in XP range with lich's skill and it does not grant XP. | ||

If they're pulling on the hard lane all those creeps should die and you aren't going to get exp regardless of what you do (assuming their other support is zoning you). Deny a melee creep so they lose more exp. If they suck at pulling then their creeps are going to outnumber yours even before you deny a creep. Deny a melee creep so they lose more exp. The only time I'd deny a ranged creep is if you get into a situation where that is actually going to give you lane control when a melee creep won't. The only time I see this happening is middle when their creep is shooting up the ramp and misses so many times that you can't deny your ranged creep. Maybe some situation where you let the tower take a few shots, but ^_^ | ||

Yeah, I always deny a mid creep first(ranged mostly). Unless the mid asks me not to, and feels comfortable controlling the lane without it. As for what to deny during the game I always get the melee creeps because of extra mana regen. Got to spam dat Q. | ||
