Camps are buggy since the last patch; you may have noticed that sometimes Ancients will not follow you if you try to pull them away. These Creeps who just stand still are in an "alerted" stage until you attack them again, meaning that they will hit couriers flying above them.

This is kinda more tech support but wtf!

I tried to start dota 2 and walked away for a minute. I come back and my symantec antivirus has deleted two things in the dota 2 file it thinks is trojans, now dota 2 won't start saying "missing executable."

edit: found this, trying now


If you right-click Dota 2 in your Steam library, hit "Properties", then hit "Verify Integrity of Game Cache" or something similar, it will redownload any missing files.

This happened to me as well, and apparently it's mostly affecting Norton users. Bloody Norton, I need to change!

Luna's glaives were always bugged beyond belief though with various orbs.

EDIT: Some differences between splash damage and cleave:
- Splash damage is centered on the target unit. Cleave has its edge placed on the attacking unit.
- Cleave ignores armor value on splashed damage, splash damage uses armor values for damage reduction as normal
- Splash damage can lifesteal, cleave can't
- Splash damage has gradually decreasing damage values depending on distance from the target, Cleave does the reduced damage to everything in the AoE
- Cleave doesn't activate on missed attacks, splash damage is still partially effective even when the attack misses (think how Siege Tanks in BW still do their splash damage even if the shot misses due to high ground or due to Dark Swarm miss)


Mhm, no ?

EDIT: I can not think of any situation where this may be true; Regular lifesteal (which includes satanic's active ability) does not work on either of them and triggered lifesteal (Open Wounds) works for both.

I thought it was bugged in DotA 2, but apparently it isn't. Hmm.

For that matter, do lifesteal instances stack in general, or are there exceptions?

Like, vlads+skeleton king+open wounds for instance. I hope it doesn't, cause that's what i've been telling everone so far

From what I understand, aura lifesteals stack with everything else. Thus, you could theoretically stack satanic with sk aura, vlads aura, and open wounds and attain 220% lifesteal. If you are lifestealer, you also get your flat 7% too! :D

Ever since someone in the GD pointed it out I've been noticing so many people refer to power 'threads' and it's very bothersome

Ok ty for the information on lifesteal aura stacking! I guess I was wrong then.
Too bad it works only on melee heroes :'(

1. If you are with a level 25 ally, will experience still be split? ie: Do they "absorb" xp even though they no longer get any benefit from it?

2. Is it situationally advisable to tower dive an enemy in a 1v1 situation if you can kill them even if you know the tower will then kill you? As I understand it, this way you both get the same-ish gold, but you get the xp for killing them while they don't get the xp for killing you as they aren't there.

Is there a way to watch this? When I try to filter the match ID on dota 2 it says access denied. Oh, probably because it was a pay-to-watch game for a league.
