How many hyperstones would you need until attack speed is maxed?


The maximum attack speed is 400 so six hyperstones with 70 agility is maxed attack speed.

I am sure this has been asked, so sorry but heres a quick one.

How to swap heroes?

I heared you need to go out of the map?

I know there is limited time, until when (30sec)? I also bought items they stayed with the newly swapped hero so thats confirmed plus the gold you had before swap.

P.S. Steps and Screenshot would be nice

1. Go into the game
2. Click the "scoreboard" open
3.Click on the guys name who u want to swap with( like if u'd want to commend/report/etc him)
4. Choose swap hero
5. Wait for the other person to accept

Where is the safe lane? the lane without jungle? Top for radiant and bot for dire?

What is offlane?

What does SS mean? What are the other shortcuts worth noting for?

The safe lane is the one with the jungle. So bottom for Radiant and top for Dire.

The off lane is the opposite.

SS means "Missing." This means whoever called it has the enemies in the lane missing, so you need to play defensive in case they're coming gank you.

LOL, thanks for clarifying. I had it wrong all along. I thought safe lane is the one without jungle because there is little chance they can gank if the creep push on yourside. Also I thot safelane =offlane.

Why did ss mean "missing"? I guess because missing has two "s"? lol I thought it was "super skill" or "ultimate"

probably cuz its faster to write ss than missing or miss. Every second counts in dota

re means that the missing hero is back on lane.

SS for missing is as old as I can remember (8 years of Dota), and I've no idea how it first came to be.

I've heard it stands for "Still Seeking" but that could easily be completely made-up.

Older things like this tend to be region specific.

SS is a really old term, has been around since forever.
RE, also.

Here i saw a lot of NH, meaning no hero, but after i started playing in USE i havent seen any NH.

I don't remember there ever being a point where it wasn't "ss" and "re" in europe at least.

But yeah, the reason is that the ingame button didn't exist until a few months ago. And it actually takes practice not to automatically write it. But I'm seeing more and more chatwheel "miss" being used lately. It also has the added bonus of actually saying where the "miss" is taking place, in case you simply forgot which hero went where.

SS for missing comes from the letter 's' being on the left side of the keyboard - you do not have to take your hand off the mouse to type "missing" (and your hand should be resting around the letter s anyway during dota), assuming you're using a qwerty or similar keyboard and follow the rules of touch typing where your fingers rest on ASDF JKL;

Notable example is Rexxar, whose name can be typed easily with only your left hand instead of bm or beastmaster. Not many more out there though.

I always thought it meant "stay safe." I'm not sure if thats what a rando in a pub told me, or I just assumed it.

How "miss" came to be abreviated to "ss" is fairly clear, however I never could fathom how "mia" appeared. Thank God it isn't used anymore.
If you seek well, you shall find.
