Always wondered about this:

What is the small number and banner you sometimes see under the Dire-side team's icon and name in broadcast games?

Pennants. Basically you can buy flags for teams you like (they get some of that money) and show your support. The number says how many pennants are active by spectators.

Ah. So I guess it's not just confined to the Dire-side team. Makes sense. Thanks.

Hi, I would like to improve my playability on this game. I don't see the point of playing Dota 2 when the graphics are on low if it's the same thing as WC3 DotA. I would like to be able to breeze through the game with amazing graphics and smooth gameplay.

My current specs are

Motherboard: MSi 770T-C45
Processor: AMD Phenom(tm) 9500 Quad-Core Processor 2.2GHz
Ram: 4GB
Graphic card: ATI Radeon HD 3800 Series 2297 MB
~ Windows 7 Ultimate.

Thank you!


I am running on amd x2 6000+ with radeon 5770, 4gb ram running dota2 very smooth at mid/high settings 1600x900 on my 22'' monitor. Your 9500phenom is slightly younger than my 6000 and dota2 seems to be more cpu-intensive so i'd say if you have tweaked around with the settings then maybe it is time to get a new card. Your card is pretty old tbh so just get any mid-range cards that released after 2009 then you are set (you dont really to spend on new cpu/mobo), shouldnt be costing you more than 100euro. Recommendations wise you can head to the technical forum and ask around, future proof wise or just a quick solution to play dota2 is personal preference^^

Slark is used in pro games. TL has picked him several times for instance.

This is the game I was talking about. If you look at the very end of the playlist the Navi game is there as well.

I was watching EG vs Na'vi stream today, and the commentators said something about fnatic.eu playing rat dota? or rav dota? and Na'vi playing a similar style that game. I'm not sure.

What's rat dota? or rav dota? or whatever iti s?

Rat dota is a term used by NS to describe how fnatic was playing dota during a series of games because they were basically playing annoyingly to him.

It's a joke.

I think Rat Dota is generally a term used to describe when a team goes for an annoying split push style and avoids any direct team fight confrontations...

Random question that occured playing with my friend, I hit lvl 25 about 4 levels before him and at the end of the game he ended up with a higher xp/min? How does it make sense.

I THINK it will eventually show up on Lumis channel since he was the analysis commentator for the game... It's the second game in Liquid vs Navi in the WePlay tournament on BeyondTheSummit, with that information it should be easy to find when it's released.

You can't really look at XP/min after lvl 25. It seems like you stop gaining XP completely, but the minutes keep ticking to reduce your XPM. This means that everyone who is lvl 25 will get the same XPM. Stupid, I know. It's not exactly the same, but I dismiss that as rounding errors.
Ahh Scept-- hey where did you come from?

Doesn't it? Or is assist calculated differently that "getting gold" assists? So for example, being close to a gank gives you assist gold, but isn't included in your KDA?

That sounds interesting and i think it is possible, did he solo kill rosh, did he get a midas, did he often solo kill hero/es and then he probably was the one who die first in the later team fights (or somehow he is away from the exp range) hence he get 0 exp but you get to reach lvl25 quicker.

say you're 20-0 at level 24 and he's 10-0 at level 24
then you both hit 25
now you end the game at 25-0 and he's 20-0
he has 5 more kills than you than you post 25

I have a question regarding critical strikes. How does it work when you have critical strike chance as hero ability (jugger, lycan, pa, brew and more) and you get a daedalus? I think the chance does not stack (for instance lycan ult 30% + daedalus 25% is not 55% chance for crit), but do you get some advantage from having it? Can someone please explain how this works?
