Where did 140% slow come from? Ice wall + ghost walk? There's a minimum move speed of 100 anyway. | ||

It was my understanding that 100% slow would remove all movement... % movement speed modifiers are additive rather than multiplicative. This means that the 140% is applied to 100% + any movement speed boosts. Example: Suppose you have 300 base MS, Yasha (10% MS boost), Janggo (5% MS boost), and Phase Boots (+60 MS, 16% MS boost active). Without Phases active, you have 380 * (1 + 0.15) = 437 MS. With Phases active, you just add in the % MS boost, giving you 380 * (1 + 0.31) = 498 MS. If you received the Rod of Atos slow (50% slow) your movespeed without Phases on would be 380 * (1 + (0.15 - 50) = 247. It is not 218.5 MS--you sum up all the % MS modifiers BEFORE applying them to your base MS. Hence this means that with 140% slow, the additional slow % comes into play when the target has % MS boosts on them. Additionally, there is both a minimum and maximum movespeed attainable by speed boosts/slows (the cap is 522, the floor is 100).

Ah, so it simply compensates for any additional ms items/abilities that they have. Thanks! | ||

Still, good to know that you still slow stuff to a crawl, even when it's breaker with a yasha, a drum, and a kobold aura. Ice wall is probably the most rage inducing skill in the game, though it doesn't feel imposing enough in dota 2. | ||

Desolator is almost always the best straight autoattack damage item on any hero that doesn't need true strike. It's not bought often because it's a pure damage item. Items like manta, bfly, radiance, AC, etc. have other effects that increase survivability or damage in team fights. Going to try deso after RoB/Van next time I play weaver, thanks for the suggestion :> | ||

I was very tempted to start another thread, but I'm scared i'll get locked since the question is pretty simple. Edited for grammer. | ||

I was very tempted to start another thread, but I'm scared i'll get locked since the question is pretty simple. Edited for grammer. The most likely way to get into the beta at this point is signing up for the beta survey and hoping. Low chance. Even lower chance are the occasional give-aways. Playdota probably has the largest one. Yet you must have an account at their site from prior to the 12/17/2011 to be eligible. Then there are various other giveaways on that sub forum as well, check it out at http://www.playdota.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=160 . As for starting to play the game, that is simple, you will drop in rating as you start out. Then after a while you improve, it goes faster if you have people that already play it teaching you. Yet just playing will make you better up to a high level when playing doesn't really help as much as practice (practice is always better, yet often boring). | ||
