Yeah, the best response to "which skills do and don't stop" is it depends. I'm trying to think of ones other than edict and epicentre though and I'm struggling. Midnight pulse sticks around, razors ultimate doesn't. I think the only self effecting abilities that do stick are edict and epicentre. Eclipse ends when Luna dies, and I'm struggling to think of other candidates than the truly bizarre - juggernaut somehow dying whilst omnislashing (heartstopper aura, say?)

The golden rule is "it depends" dota mech is complicated shit.

Okay I looked here and there's nothing. Did they stop sending out extra beta keys or something?

yes, the most recent wave of invites did not receive gift keys

Which heroes are considered counterpicks to antimage for lategame, if there are any? Faceless Void is mentioned most of the time. But what of those not yet released in dota2? Mortred, lyca maybe?
(I know there are more counters than simple counterpicks, but that's not what I want to know)

Obsidian destroyer is considered an antimage counter, high dps, ignores armour, ignores magic res, Regis s mana for team. Shadow demon gives antimage some problems by using him to rape his team. As does better pushing - lycan, syllabear. Lycans midgame dps is far superior, as is his pushing, so he either wins before he's an issue, or gets an enormous advantage. Similarly with syllabear, but with strong late game potential too.

Why does people tend to think that their opinion is the one and only and why they doesnt realize that if something does feel easy/happy/funny/not that bad to him another might think it feels hard/sad/miserable to him...


edit: apparently this was dota section and this was highlighted in the bottom left also there isnt thread like this in general section (didnt find atleast with fast search when noticed mistake)

He's a horrible babysitter lol, he NEEDS early levels to get early ganks and kills, needs rune control, and ideally fast farm to get the blink dagger. Basically this means he's got to be solo mid, but a lot of heroes can beat him there, and beat him to runes.

You're right, tiny can ONLY be played solo mid. Korok used to play a decent competitive tiny back in the day, when the game was more based on map control rather than pushing. As far as solo mid heroes go, there're much better choices out there. BM and NS are better strength solo mids with much higher base armor so they can dive better on ganks. Even pudge may be a better choice for a skill based initiator; he doesn't need that early blink to grab some instant gibs. Other than that, many ranged heroes destroy him easily mid (SD, Bat, Lich, etc), and if you put something like an AM dual lane mid, he won't touch creeps and will be guaranteed useless all game.


There was a team that started him in a trilane, then transitioned the supports off to gank.

Also, some teams have used him as a weaver counter.

I don't think it's great, but I saw sexybamboo doing a bottle first mid with some avalanche farming, with an emphasis on rune control->ganking to create space for the long lane carry. It seems like a gimmicky strategy, but who am I to dismiss it so easily.

This question may be answered before but i cant seem to find it on TL. I searched it on google but i need a gamers opinion to be sure

How old are the computers are you guys using to play Dota 2 with? The specs are lower enough but i just want to be sure.

Thanks

Mine's about 6-8 months old, spent £900 quid on it, and I can stream in hd, watch the stream, and be playing at the same time:

8gigs ddr3 1333mhz
1 gb 560 Ti
i5 2500k (3.3ghz, not oc/d yet)

So any reasonable machine can happily run dota 2 if all you want is to run it.

My laptop can handle dota quite nicely. Everything on low settings, fan sounds really loud though so I've got into the habbit of making the room cold before I play and elevating the laptop :D, but yeh the game is much more hungry that sc2.

But i5 dual core, 4gb of ram and HD Intel 3000, runs the game fine, laptop is only like 4 ish months old.

Edit - Mind I don't think they have released/implemented full low settings yet.

If CK's animations weren't ass Reality Rift would actually be a broken spell, but now it's only a good spell.

mine is amd 6000+ (bought back in 2007) and with a 5770 bought last year, can run max setting of dota2 (by turning that stupid vsysn off). if you are wondering about the sea/asia invites are fewer i heard thats because they didnt have the sufficient psychical server setup yet for sea/asia region.

also guys have quick questions here:

does roshan no longer do his stun spell but have the bash ability now? only notice this when i was using ursa lol
is 2017, stop being lame, fuck's sakes. 'Can't wait for the rise of the cakes and humanity's last stand tbqh.'
