When targeted by Doom's ultimate while at low HP, is there something to do apart from hoping an ally will deny you if you don't have lifesteal? Since it deactivates most passives and items, you can't use Mekansm or TP to fountain.

There really isn't.
Getting denied is option a and option b is running away, hoping for the best.


Visage, chen, or any other hero with extra units can self-deny, or you can run into the woods and deny yourself to neutrals / roshan.

Especially in conjunction with a hotkey for both, it'd be impossible to keep track of which was which, and I'd probably get hung up faltering between selections and wasting time not using soul assumption or something better.


F2 is for summoned units? I never knew that...

F2 is for all other units you control that aren't your main hero.

If it is by default I didn't know it! I manually bind them to F2 even now when it remembers from last game what my bindings were. Force of habit, I guess

you know how you get mail in the dota client that notifies you of a new item in your inventory or something? does anyone else have this problem where the notification doesnt disappear?
i click on the notification and it directs me to whats supposed to be my backpack, but theres no new item showing, and then the notice stays there forever

Interestingly, it doesn't seem to work for titan's spirit. I'm not sure if that's intentional, and/or if there are any others.

I find it particularly useful for heroes who spawn minions/illusions chaotically in fights, like pl, ds and enigma.

Just program "select all other units" to F2. Or you can program a control group to it, then you can ctrl+f2 the spirit and since dota saves selections in the cloud you dont even have to reprogram it next time you play titan

When will the Diretide update be implemented?

Valve had a note regarding the lack of Diretide and they said that they'll include it in the next update but didn't tell when that update will be implemented.

What can i do against idiots who steal item from the courier and then give it to the enemy or hide it somewhere?

I cannot believe this can be done in dota2.

I actually asked Heyoka to pass me the OP a while ago with the intent of turning it into an FAQ of sorts. Needless to say other things came up.

It's still on my to-do list though.

It's a lot of work for one person; a better solution would be to make an FAQ page in liquipedia and link it in the header. Then you could just edit the OP to reflect the wiki page or just keep it as is in the header.
