Why is bkb so popular on CK? He's literally the ONLY illusion based carry that I see it on. Everything else you build on him is to buff up illusions. It seems like a waste especially considering how strong his illusions are.

I guess it might be necessary for fights when your ult is down so you don't get trained but you really shoudn't be fighting without your ult.

The cooldown on CK's ult is way too big for him to function like a regular illusion carry (like PL or Naga), so he's not really an "illusion based carry" in my opinion.

He also doesn't farm well, and his skills are suited for fighting. CK has to establish an aggressive tempo to get ahead of other carries, and BKB is great for this. Considering how big the cooldown of phantasm is, I don't think avoiding fights while it's down is a good way to play the hero.

I like CK as 2nd position carry, I think he could be ok in a part of an agressive trilane if you have another carry who can farm 1v1 safelane. I think it's harder to draft than with naix because naix also does a very suitable 1 position so he does not give too much information when drafted early. There is also the insane mana cost of his spells which make each stun either a kill or they can easily zone you out for a good portion of time.

Does negative armor affect your damage to allied creep.

Lets say i wanna try a lv 1-aura sf build, i will hit the creeps harder because of the minus armor, but will the other mid be able to deny more easely also ( i assume so, but sometimes screw logic)

So does -armor from an ennemy let you deny creeps more easely ( do more damage)

The creeps armor value is for everyone. Everyone does more damage to units with negative armor.

Sounds like a bug. Was it on the courier or on the ground?

If you have a match ID somebody could look it up (or we could find the match ID via your dotabuff profile )

You are definitely allowed to buy more than 1 divine don't worry about that

I watched the replay. The courier was going by the secret shop so when you bought it it bought on the courier since your hero was actually just out of range of the shop. It sat on the courier all game rofl.

Thats so unfortunate XD

I also have another couple questions.

Concerning champ passives like for instance i was playing Phantom Assassin. The person with the little q harras the blink and the giant crit on her ult. like 450 at the end. The guide i was following (Love the intergrated guide in the game btw makes it so much easier.) didn't mention getting any crit item. So I didn't get it. We won and all but i was curious if how the crit would work. Like would your 15 percent on ult for 450 go thru and then another 25 percent would crit for idk like 240. How does that work?

Also the same question with mini stuns mini bashes is a mini bash just a proc of dmg. For sniper could i get other stunning items and they would stack.

Also whats the deal with Unique attack modiefiers is there an order for which one would come out first. Like for wind runner how do unique attack modifiers effect her?

Thanks for the help TL. Noobs like me appreciate it

Thanks to Oukka and Cry0nicS for the answer on my offlane body block question. I just still don't get it when I see a pro game where an offlane clock or something is sitting at lvl 1 just standing under his T1 isntead of trying to body block a wave and get some experience.

Both sources of crit will roll the chance to crit. If both proc only the higher multiplier applies; otherwise the one that procs will apply.

Sniper's stun is a buff placer. Each attack can only place one buff. You can stack it with basher and MKB I believe, but in the case where both abilities proc at once, only one will apply and it will overwrite the other.

Which is probably worse than it seems because the double proc case will, if I'm not mistaken, reset the psuedo random number generator.

The general rule is skill UAMs override item UAMs and % based UAMs will have priority but stack with normal UAMs otherwise. There are some exceptions, like skadi stacking with clinkz's searing arrows if autocasted.

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Apzag3wGFZRndEkza1BtRUZHUkE4QWp1aEdEVFZCUHc#gid=0

as for windrunner, her ult also reduces any extra damage from UAMs (e.g. maelstrom).

Thx for both your answers. For percent UAM's you mean like a chance to proc something right?

Also another question :D

When someone Dc's from a game and it gives us permission to leave it doesn't show up on your W/L i believe. But what if you stay and play anyway. Will it count as a loss if it you see it to its end. I had a game recently that i was sniper. Someone dc and i stayed cause i was fed and it was 2v5 but we had fun I left at the end. But what if i didn't. Does it count as a loss or what happens

if someone dcs the games still count to your win/loss. only if its before 5mins or fb or something it wont count, and in those cases it specifically says stats will not be recorded. if you stay till the end and you win, you get the win. if you lose or leave, you lose.

I don't know if it's the case anymore but even those games where stats aren't recorded would show up as win/loss on your dotabuf profile.
