SK can as well. Not as good as farming a lane, most likely, and you delay leveling your stun a little more than I would prefer, but it can be done from level 1 if you have 2 good solo heroes.

He's one of the "it can be done but I'd rather it weren't" heroes. Iff (sic) you have no other viable laning option then he can, but you do lose a lot from it.
For every battle honour a thousand heroes die alone, unsung, and unremembered.

Well, if you look at just SK's progression, it's slower, but if you look at SK + the hero soloing the long lane, their combined progression can be much faster assuming you have a potm or other hero that can effectively solo 1v2. SK jungling can keep on pace with a dual lane's xp if done correctly.

Is caustic really that good for jungling? SK has a bit low armor and no way to regen, if sand storm worked better I could see him working with a sand storm + caustic build, sand storm a weak creep, caustic for damage on the bigger ones. Should be very effective on stacked creeps, sadly sand storm doesn't work (last I checked). :/

Why does almost all dota tournament games start later than they should? Even when the teams have no official games prior?

I was wondering this also. To be fair it is hard to coordinate 10 players + casters but other games like cs hon and lol seem to be able to do it in time. The game is still in beta but that cant be the only reason for so many games to be delayed. Its sad to say but there seems to be a lack professionalism for some teams.

sk is skeleton king or sandking, but i think he's talking about skeleking
sandking can jungle alright too, though it depends a bit on the spawns

all heroes can jungle (if they aren't disturbed) at a decent rate by pulling, and most can jungle even without pulls, but generally it's fairly dangerous and not as effective as just being in lane. skeleking/mirana lane is better than sk in the jungle mirana lane most of the time

chen, enchant, enigma, furion, ursa, darkseer, axe, naix, and maybe batrider are probably the only heroes in dota 2 worth sending to the jungle

Rexxar can jungle quite well with stacked camps and axes. Needs bottle courier for it though. Only worthwhile if there is no good lane for him, he is a borderline case just as bat.

Where is a good place to get pro vods? I can't seem to find any on tobi's channel. I want commentated videos, not replays. Thanks much!

Hi everybody.
When I a-click a creep and spam "stop" to get the moment right for the last hit, my hero will randomly attack another creep at times. I guess it's a problem on my side because others get it right, so what am I doing wrong?

when you spam stop you cancel all previous commands, including your a-click, so your hero should hit the nearest creep instead of whatever you targeted after you stop spamming

nothing really, its about positioning, usually the hero targets the closest creep, which is why the "spamming stop" method is inferior to simply walking around then goign for the last hit;
its also worse because it makes you stand still for a long period of time (1 sec or so) making ganking you that much easier; its also bad because it lets ur lane opponent guess when ur going for the last hit, so in general its simply better to walk around then just a click the creep you want to get

Personally I prefer walking around then 'a' clicking the creep as 3Y3S said, but spamming stop is not that much worse and I sometimes do it.

Just make sure u a click or right click the creep you want to last hit when it's low.

When people go for the "walk around" method, do u guys walk around a spot like ure circling a patch of grass or sth, or do u just randomly go anywhere u want until u're rdy to get the last hit/deny?
