While net_graph shows lerp in milliseconds, cl_interp's value is measured in seconds, so 0.1 is 100ms, 0.03 is 30ms, etc. Turned orange as soon as I went above 30, and didn't turn white until it hit exactly 50, so I guess I'll keep it there  Thanks a bunch | ||

I've run into quite a few situations lately where after I stack and pull, the next creep wave comes along and aggros down shortly before the camp has been cleared (which obviously then leads to the lane pushing moments later as with a normal single pull). Is it solvable through positioning (i.e. will creeps aggro from the current creep aggro regardless or is it only if my hero is engaging them at that moment) or do I simply have to make sure the camp is cleared out before the next creep wave comes by? The usually more reliable option is to get creep aggro and pull the creeps back inside their camp. This will cost you some hp, but will stop the "infinite pull" FYI, not stopping it leads to side effects like "dying tower", "dying teammate" or "exposed pull" when your teammate pulls the enemy creeps past your tier 1 tower. | ||

I find myself in situations where I want to split push, me in one lane and my 4 allies in another lane which normally works well if the enemy has to commit more than one hero to stop me. Spirit Breaker throws a wrench into this plan as currently he seems to be able to stop me 1v1. He starts charging me as soon as he sees my illusions expire, dusts on arrival, then proceeds to ult me. At this point I tend to panic invis which doesn't help since I'm obviously dusted but even fighting him straight up seems like a poor idea as he's clearly identified the real one. Ideas I've got currently: 1) Be more careful if my illusions expire and I'm the only one in sight of the creep wave. I could maybe even try to bait out the charge by using a lance or dopple illusion perhaps? 2) Rush Manta sooner as it's core on PL anyway and save it for immediately AFTER I get hit with charge then try to fight or run. 3) Get a Ghost Scepter. This seems like a very bad idea as Ghost Scepter is a terrible item on PL but if all my deaths are coming from SB, perhaps it is worth it? Pop it just before Charge connects, lance him, then proceed to try to fight? Any ideas for how a PL should handle an SB as well as general tips against him would be appreciated. Worst case scenario, any particular heroes hard counter him? I was thinking Bane or just something really tanky like Slardar or Centaur.EDIT: I figure I should also mention my item choices. The above situation usually starts really coming to a head around the 20-30 minute mark and I have Treads/Yasha/Diffusal/TP on me. SB tends to have some combination of Treads, MoM, and either BKB, Armlet, or Shadow Blade. Perhaps I should have more early/mid game items like Drums or Ring of Aquila before getting Diff Blade? | ||

You only get that effect when you achieved 999gpm in 10 consecutive games. + Show Spoiler + I joke, you get that from opening chest, 1-2% chance to get an unusual courier. Also for the IH question you can try them here: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=365938¤tpage=114 http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=422934 | ||

If the SB has gem, then neither would work, and you would die anyway. In that situation man fight the SB with your illusions and you. Hopefully you kill him before he kills you,take the gem and laugh in his face. | ||

Your illusions should be pushing the lane, not you. | ||

Many builds that I look up don't refer to an item that gives mana regeneration. For example, a Slark build I just used didn't allow me a mana regen item. I guess it's taken for granted that you get a magic wand. But even still, I ran out of mana fast. What do I do to restore my mana? It seems either I have to get a mana regen item, in which case I break my build, or I constantly ship in potions of clarity which doesn't seem very efficient. | ||

Slark usually solve their MP 2 way. 1) Soul Ring or 2) Orchid. Orchid is especially good when your vs heroes that has an escape, like AM/Puck/Weaver. Orchid will solve your MP issue, give you dmg and attack speed for more stats stealing. However its a VERY situational item. Soul Ring is a solid choice for solving Slark MP issues at all level, damage that you take from the Soul Ring active doesnt matter when you regen it back up so fast with the ultimate. | ||

Another thing you need to do is just not spam your spells as much and make sure you know what proportion of your total mana will be lost by casting your spells. Some heroes can only cast their spell once before being completely oom, like sven, es, and skeleking. some int heroes can afford as much as 4-5 casts before being oom, but rest assured if you spam spells like you do in league then you will find yourself oom all day. | ||
