Well, everything shows up on dotabuff. Dotabuff tracks everything and doesn't distinguish abandoned games.

When Medusa ults does it go through phase shift from puck? I played a game as puck and I sat a full phase shift duration multiple times and would come out as stone/almost stone.

Unless its a bug, nothing should touch you in phase shift. In dota 1 you where physically removed from the map itself. Medusa ulti works fast though, and you get instantly slowed, so maybe it just seems like its working?

That's actually wrong. You probably don't know because you don't stay long enough to see how it works.

If a kill/towerkill happens before someone leaves, it will always count.
If someone is disconnected before the first kill and stays disconnected for 5 minutes, then it will be a nostats game, no matter how many kills happen in the meantime.

If someone is disconnected at the start, kills happen and he then reconnects(everyone is connected to the game), then it will become a stats recorded game.
If nobody hates you, you´re doing something wrong. However someone hating you doesn´t make you right

Any rules of thumb as to how to skill Timbersaw based on how the game is going?
Also item choices? I generally just get arcane boots, stick, disassemble into bloodstone then shivas/hex/heart depending on the game.

Played a couple of games as him today, so much fun to play and is super strong...

If your mid you skip timber chains for whirrling death and reactive armor for the most part. Offlane timerbersaw usually skips whirling death for timber chains and reactive armor. Most of the time I want to be 4-3-2-2 or 3-4-2-2 at 11. It is possible to skip reactive armor for more points in whirling death and reactive armor. Your item build is fine, skip bloodstone if it is a really bad game. Blink dagger is situational, it allows for always perfect timber chain lines. Get a bottle if you are mid. Usually if u start stout shield and reactive armor makes u very hard to push out of lane. I also really like sheepstick for Timbersaw. Shivas makes you an aoe god but sheepstick gives u better pickoff power if your team isn't going to farm one quickly.

Depends where you are laning him. When I play him I'm usually offlane and will level my skills 0-1-2-0 to 2-1-2-1 and then start leveling timber chain and then start to roam with mana boots if I still can't do much in lane. With 2 in reactive armor you can harass pretty reliably with whirling death as long as it isn't a trilane with super killing power. If it is a weaker lane I might just get 1 level of armor and the rest in nukes to be more aggresive.

Force staff, pipe of insight and blademail are also worth considering in my opinion.

Could you get mek on timber or does the blood stone delay it too much?

I don't think bloodstone is necessary on timber, though if his farm is good it's probably adviseable. I think smaller items are smarter for a poor offlaner: manaboots, basilius if your team lacks one, urn if your supports don't need it, medallion even though his damage is pure, force staff, and then vyse as his first big item (could MAYBE make eul's instead if you were really poor, but it's considerably less useful).

Mek is nice, but very mana intense for a hero whose normal functions are already incredibly taxing on his mana pool. Additionally since his chain has him flying all over the place he's not always in position to be able to heal the whole team. Still, it's plausible an offlane timber could be your best mek farmer.

Surely you can go mek first and then get a bloodstone later. You can survive on just arcanes for quite a while.

The problem with Mek on Timber is that the hero just guzzles mana, and without a primary mana regen item like Bloodstone, trying to fit a Mek into your mana usage actually can be pretty hard.

Never had the change to test it, but medusa's ulti when it petrifies them, it gives them 100% magical resistance. So does that mean TC/ET's aura reduces it?
nvm, TC gives 33% magical amp, so its just 100%+Hero base magical resistance - TC aura

What are spells that you can use under the effect of Frostbite that can potentially move you out of Frostbite's effects (I know Frostbite disables blink-like abilities)? For example, can you use Phantasm/Mirror Images while under Frostbite? If you can will it cancel frostbite? Does the same go for Clockwork and Timbersaw's Hook? Would casting Astral Imprisonment on a hero under Frostbite cancel Frostbite (assuming that the duration of Astral Imprisonment is shorter)?


http://dota2.gamepedia.com/Ensnare
http://dota2.gamepedia.com/Entangle

Frostbite is an Entangle ability so it disables 'True Blink' abilities, but not 'semi blink' abilities : http://dota2.gamepedia.com/Teleport

You can manta out of Frostbite and other Entangles but not out of Ensnare abilities (at least according to the wiki, but I'm sure I remember being able to manta out of Bear Entangle which is listed as an Ensnare ability..)
