Only creeps spawned after they're dead will get the super or mega upgrade.

The general rule is that Scepter is only good if you actually can re-engage in 12 seconds without dying (what's the point in having it if you can't survive long enough to cast a 2nd and 3rd hook?). This means it's only good once your survivability has reached the point where they can't kill you if you jump in again. Thus, as BurningSera said, it's only really good if you're ahead--especially since Clockwerk is often working with off-lane farm.

You can jump 3000 distance to an ally creep just to get there faster.

Does riki's silence stop BB's quill spray? Or are you basically going to suicide by trying to kill him? Just something random I thought of today while watching a stream.
Edit: The passive quill spray obviously.

Do you remember when Riki invis was a classic spell and this ultimate was a ward (like troll now, but not channeling)

nah man we do not speak about this. It can confuse some newcomers in the DotA world

It would be fun to play 2005-2006 dota again haha. I hope someone makes a mode for dota2 that replicates the old balance patches. whoa thought this was Gdiscussion because of the topics ;;

The only people I know who remember back that far played RoC dota yeah this is when solo safelane was common and jungle was unheard of The RoC dota people I know said they jungled with DK in pubs. So it wasn't completely unheard of I guess. (I can't imagine how jungle DK would ever have worked besides very very slowly). They stuck with RoC dota after TFT came out though so who knows what sort of meta there was there.

Jungle roc dota was really common. Naix with consume corpses, lycanthrope with ferocity and that spell that did aor fire damage, nymph with spider summons, dw with pulling to towers and maw, even siege tank with that stupid heal spam, plus manny with heals from soul reaper. Probably even more than that, I think you could jungle with vampire too. Can't remember what other heroes there were. You could do it with Luna summons but those things sucked major balls
Oh duh missed all of the mid lane junglers, sa and the equivalent of anti Mage, can't recall what they called him anymore. He had castable mana burn and purge. I just miss solo mid Rowan, used to wreck bitches
Oh duh cota with his ghoul summon. Mid pull on undead side with leshrac by killing trees with split earth
Man roc dota so many memories. Still remember a video I saw of people creep blocking top lane for 4 or 5 waves with nymph summons, letting them go, and then riding the wave all the way to the throne

I'm rather new to the DotA scene and I've been seeing a lot of heroes being added and old DotA players from Reddit saying "Oh I haven't played that hero in a long time!". I was just wondering how many old heros from DotA all stars have yet to be added to the game?

The old heroes left to be ported are abaddon, techies, terror blade(he hashad a lot of remakes though). Tc as well if you are just counting pre dota 2 heroes in the cm pool, but the other 3 are much older
|
Best mid counters to puck?
|
Don't really think that's the line of thinking you should be using. More what can you do to deal with a mid puck. Most puck matchups are skill based where either party can win. Stuff like last hitting better and not taking unnecessary harass is key. A common hero used against her is qop since she can roam and have ability to win lane based on players.

puck doesn't really beat any mids, he can usually pull even though ta completely crushes puck tho

qop vs puck is not fair at all for the qop. how the fuck are you suppose to win if the puck isnt mentally retarded.

Your projectile speed is better and you have better rune control.
Have trouble against sf as puck. Unless you do really well early, your defensive abilities don't help him eventually massing up souls, then you just lose.
