There is some Sand King pubstar that I remember ppl mentioned who only plays SK ... I think some American ... can someone point me to his name and/or dotabuff profile? I'd like to watch some of his games.

Edit: Is the guy something like "Pirate"?

How are post game item rewards determined? I know that if you level up, you get an item. Otherwise, is it truly random? Cuz I had this impression that playing well got you items.

Trust me, it is completely random.

I've seen people get dropped mythicals and rares after feeding the entire game and I myself have got 2 couriers via drop.
I also know better players than me who did not get a mythical as drop yet.

If item drop was base on skills, then all the pro will be flooded with mysticals :p

As long as it hits invisible units, they most definitely reveal her. In DotA 1 as well as Dota 2.

are there any guides how to keep your good start into late game stage? Often when i get good start it seems like im owning left and right but enemy just catch up with my farm and i lose game in the process (usually my pub games seems like im 1v5). Im looking for smth like farming patterns or anything like this and late game postioning advices.

Finish the game?

If the opposing team catches up to your farm, then your team is not doing a good enough job on capitalizing on the early advantages that you managed to build.

One thing that pubs tend to be particularly bad at as well is applying pressure when you're not taking an objective. Just because you're not pushing, ganking, or looking for a fight does not mean retreat to your side of the map and give them space.

Buy a gem, clear their jungle of wards, farm their jungle. Don't let them farm, and if they try to farm, kill them. Just because you aren't actively ending the game does't mean you should suddenly have no pressure at all.

It may sound dumb but the best way to achieve this is to spam : "don't go high ground","we can't go high ground yet", "farm their woods" "wait next rosh" etc

with the mass midas meta from supports, is it possible that OD will start to fall off a little? OD used to terrorize teams esp low level supports cause the intelligence difference is pretty big so hes usually able to either instagib them or at least drop them really low. however with the midas supports are getting more items and are having higher levels so OD doesnt just maul them with his ulti during teamfights

well, let's assume that Cm's midas get's her 2 extra levels, and one extra item (force/euls/drums/aghs) that she wouldn't have otherwise. The extra intelligence from levels plus one of those items will negate (2.9*2+10)*10=160 damage. Doing 160 less damage to supports sometimes is significant, but it's prob not enough to stop picking the hero. If anything he won't be picked in this patch because this patch encourages ganking.

Solution: OD gets Midas

Leveling up faster across the board and whatnot

Hello, I have a question:

Can Mjollnir's chain lightning passive and MKB's mini-bash proc in the same attack in a hero like windrunner or mirana (ranged)?

Please only answer if you are sure of this as many people say that if chain lightning procs it will override other unique attack modifiers(as said in the item description) but in dota 2 mini-bash is not a unique attack modifier so in theory both should be able to proc at the same time, giving you a mini stun, extra 100 dmg AND the chain lightning 160 dmg orb.

Have someone tried this yet? or could try it?

Mini-bash was never an orb, in DotA 1 or DotA 2.

Bash never was an orb/UAM so the thought in that direction is moot. They should both happen on the same attack.

However if it really is the case someone needs to test in singleplayer(usually takes me like 10 minutes)
I am not at a dota 2 pc now and won't be for the rest of the day, so I can only give instructions:
-create lobby, enable cheat codes.
- type "-gold 10000000", buy the items(preferably multiple mkbs and mjollnirs to increase the chances)
- type "-createhero doom enemy" a couple of times. Have the mouse on the playing field where you want bots to spawn or the heroes will spawn in unpathable terrain in direfountain.
- "levelbots 25", optionally "-allvision" for vision of direside, optionally "-refresh" to fill bots and you back to 100%

Then hack away. You should(very high chance) get a proc of both on the same attack in the first few 100-300 hits.
If nobody hates you, you´re doing something wrong. However someone hating you doesn´t make you right

It's really felt like it prioritizes the worst performers in that game, kinda like a "wow, that looked like it sucked, have a cookie to go with your sadness". Sources being me only getting mythicals in games that I've fed, and quite often having games end with "THAT guy got a rare? Feed all game -> get rares ok"
