In the beginning, is it common to put all four wards up? Are we only meant to put wards covering one rune spot or both?

in most cases 2 wards should do, unless you want to block multiple camps to prevent jungle heroes from farming. always have 1 rune ward though or else your mid will be a sad panda.

No, not at all. Remember that wards are on a timer. If you put four up, you might not have enough when the first night time rolls around at 6 to ward the important night-time ward spots (think places like across mid river, rune locations, various jungle locations). There could be some exceptions against enemy jungle heroes etc., but I don't think it's common to use four at the start.

The wards respawn before the 6 minute mark when you need to replace the rune wards.

when I log into dota it says "you have an outdated client, close dota and relaunch to install" but after I restart I get the message again. Any fixes?

Quit Steam and start it up again. It should download the new dota2 patch from there.

You could also save up 1 ward every time and have 6 wards at minute 12 when shit is about to go down.

Been playing lots of Storm Spirit, how do you deal with Clinkz? Seems like a natural counter. Once he gets Orchid up, he just shows up beside me, silences, and kills me before i can do anything or escape. Drow with Shadow blade is pretty brutal too. Any silence hurts, but the DPS of those 2 is usually high enough to outright kill me before I get my ulti back. Fast sheepstick perhaps?

Also are wand + null talisman worth getting on Storm? My item build right now is mantle, tango + 3 branches to start (wand if im vs Bat, Zeus, SD, etc). Get bottle asap, then start working towards first major item, either bloodstone, orchid, or linken's depending on the game (more often than not I do bloodstone). Are talisman and wand worth getting here or do they just delay my core items too much? edit: also mana boots / power treads usually fit in there

Ur natural counter is not clinckz, it's Silencer :D

In fact Storm Spirit becomes vulnerable when he is silence, there is nothing to do when u already are silence. U have to prevent yourself.
best advice ? KEEP MOVING :D

Silencer is easy. Unlike Clinkz / drow he doesn't have the DPS to insta-kill me before the silence wears off.

Clinkz, in his invis mode (or drow with shadow blade) sneaks up on me, silences with orchid, and proceeds to kill me with a barrage of arrows long before I can do anything. Not sure what BKB would do..? As far as I know BKB doesn't dispell an item's silence thats already on me. I'd consider Shadow blade way before I considered BKB. Is it worth getting on storm tho?

O_o the more you know....is it still worth getting over shadow blade though? Shadow blade is cheaper and gives better stats, and this invis seems better than BKB's magic immunity in terms of 1v1 escape mechanism.

You might also want to consider getting a gem. The point of storm is to roll in a pick somebody off. If Drow gets a shadowblade and plays a lot more risky by virtue of invisibility, just get a gem, roll in with a team mate and punish her.

Linkens is good for the single target silences. Ghost scepter isn't ideal, but reasonable if you are really far behind. BKB is the best, and it does dispel silences.

Edit: Shadowblade mediocre on Storm and is really counter-intuitive to Storm play. BKB allows you to roll and snipe key heroes. You might also want to consider improving your Storm micro, and training yourself to dodge AoE silences. It's tough, but doable when you have 2 good mana regen items. Euls is also a better alternative that's cheaper than Shadowblade and has stats you need.

What happens if you don't click accept or decline when you've found a match? Does the game auto-choose one
option after some time?

Auto declines. Would be silly to auto accept.
