ta has a brief window where she can "initiate" by just blinking in and instagibbing a support. but after that window passes she cant really start fights (especially teamfights) without putting herself in a lot of danger.

His kit is amazing for support and there are tons of solomids nowdays to compare with TI2 times.
It still can be played mid occasionally.

Cause ember spirit is pretty shit mid and loses to most legit mid hero? So the guy above that said dont go mid as ember spirit is pretty spot on.

embers a great mid vs other melee. he only really has problems with qop, puck, viper, od, huskar (ie the strongest mid heroes in the game). he can easily beat other popular mids like storm/dk/mag

when i was watching lgd vs fnatic.speed.demon.int, i noticed how much trouble they had killing the DK when trying to gank him multiple times. Hes a really tanky hero who wont win vs good mids, but he does well going into the midgame with relatively little farm.

Also he is a great addition to currently popular pushing strats as he is able to tank and bring down towers with ease.

To add, i've heard some casters mention that dk allways gets some xp/gold and not hardloose a lane, can play multiple lanes, can take a tier 1 tower solo at lvl 6, is a tankdragon that has some sort of aoe damage at lvl 16, only needs a bkb and helm of dominator besides boots to scare anyone so hes online early.

if you solo-que, is there a way to rate your teammates without look into their profiles?
some1 said that the position in the team-screen tells you.
like blue is the most left for radiant = highest rating for radiant, its pink for dire (also most left).

is that true or just another dota-myth?


also,
if i have io with soulring, and i use the ring while linked to some1. will they get the mana (and loose it after duration of soulring has ended?)
Ooooh, look at it go

thats a myth
or at least the few times people have asked for mmrs it hasn't been true
also in group queues they're just in the order they joined the group in
if you're wisp with sr they get the mana forever. tranq sr is pretty good on wisp

DK's just easy to draft because he's good in a lot of lineups and is rarely bad. You second-pick him and don't have to reveal anything about your draft while not making it weaker because he's sort of a jack of all trades.

He's also a hero that will rarely lose (or crush) his lane making him very dependable/predictable. You can generally bank on DK getting a certain amount of CS irrespective of the opposing mid hero. If you have a predictable hero, he's easier to draft around.

How do you deal with a wind runnner support just auto attacking you in lane full time? Assuming you lack the range to trade of course. Do you just hope your supports can zone her back and just use regen to get as many last hits, or do you give up some farm. (all this amuses carry and support(s) in lane for both teams.

going to need more information on the lane. which heroes are you using/is it 3v3? 2v2? 2v1?. wr is one of the best heroes you can have as a support when zoning out solo opponents. if you are solo it depends heavily on which hero youre using, whereas if you have other heroes in your lane you should try to get your support to trade harrass and coordinate a gank accordingly.
