you just realized recently. At some point when people have no idea what to do, they just 5man and start pushing. The other team will counter 5man regardless if it's good or not.
My two questions:
1) QoP vs Skywrath mid. How the fuck do I lane vs Skywrath? he just bullied me out of lane with his 70mana, 100% hit bullshit spell. I didn't die but I pretty much lost the lane.
2) Armlet OD - am I crazy for thinking this'd be good? armor, attack speed, regen, sounds like stuff OD needs
Skywrath is 3rd lane bullier in game right now, after OD and Razor. But this chicken is extremely squishy so if he's not getting something like very fast boosters/drums/force staff to run away - you will just outscale him as QoP from 8-9 lvl.
But be aware of 6 seconds seal.
Anyway, i highly recommend to use Skywrath Mage as support on duo lanes, he's fucking incredible there, especially with guys with additional slow like Night Stalker or PA.
Armlet for OD? :D He doesn't need it as much as you do think, because Destroyer isn't as squish as Skywrath for example, gets his attack speed from threads and doesn't require regens because of essence aura and force staff.

Do most pros who mid have their autoattack set to on or off?

What number is bad mmr and what mmr is good?

iirc ~3800+ is "very high" skill bracket (from back when those were visible when searching games). Most pros have ~5k mmr, most of the good players have 4000+, though 3000-4000 is still pretty decent.

i think most of them have it off. you should use whatever is more comfortable.
|
Most of them have it off huh, maybe it's time to adapt and change. Does seem a lot easier when midding.
|
it is really up to preference, neither setting actually has a tangible advantage over the other.
as a general rule you shouldnt blindly copy pros in dota. doing that makes a lot more sense in starcraft. If you are gonna copy what pros do then make sure you are asking yourself why they are doing what they do.
|
certainly try both options out, and yeah don't just do it because pros do it.
go with whichever method gets you the most last hits and denies.

It's just abourt preferences.
For example i'm using aa since dota1 but i'm moving endlessly on lane, never staying on one place.
Even if hitting towers - attack-move-attack-move-attack-move.
So, basically, it's same but about preferences.
Only thing which i can imagine where aa on is bad, probably cliff Furion, most useless shit in whole game. And if only Troll or someone from enemies's team is attackin' you :D

Hiding in the woods versus centaur. Bane of auto attack on

As radiant where do you start jungling first at the easy camp or do you just start with the medium near the middle lane
|
Who are you jungling with? =p
Most people will start with the easy camp first and attempt to kill it before it spawns again at 1 minute. Killing the 1 minute spawn as well should get you level 2 unless the safe lane support/offlaner(s) sucked the xp from you.

Fooling around with Legion
|
Legion is happy to do any medium except maybe centaurs at level 1. Just kill the aura creep (biggest one) before the stack timing, and if it's something like wolves or satyrs, stack whatever's left and clear with the extra MoC procs.
I really don't like taking the pull camp early if you have any other options, because of how much it screws up the safelane's control.

Big request to all new guys who try to adapt to forest - don't pull easy camps on easy lane :D
Or if you really feel that it's best decision/all camps are filled with furbolgs - stack it and don't pull single.
Thanks.

It's a feature that can be turned off called captions (aka subtitles). No idea why streamers use it -.-

LD is damn hard to control in lanes with aa on. And stupid Chen attacks stack when you use tornado on it.

Agree about LD and with Chen u can just attack other camp, while Wildkin is furiously casting :D

Simple question from someone who watches more than actually plays (aka noob): Why is mjollnir never built on whoever and i have only seen 2 heroes ever get maelstrom. Isn't it one of the best AoE effects on an item (yes, i dare to say superior to radiance)?
