Do I go for the squishy supports first? Focus down the heavy damage dealing carry? Unload on the closest, most out of position enemy? Defend myself against the one trying to kill me? Destroy the enemy with the dangerous ulti before he can use it? Finish off the wounded one who is trying to escape? Join in on who my teammates are attacking? Get rid of the one who is threatening an important teammate? Do I attack those with an escape mechanism when there is an opportunity? | ||

Do I attack those with an escape mechanism when there is an opportunity? play urgent before big. depends so much on team composition and what heroes you have focusing ignores the cc on other heroes around the focus. usually its urgent to lock someone down and huge to kill someone but they are not necessarily the same hero. | ||

If it's DotA 2, it's probably not 2009. 2009's only done ~3 DotA 2 videos and otherwise has only done DotA 1. 820 or YaphetS are the most prominent players to have done a significant number of DotA 2 videos. | ||

Now I'm less sure.. edit: Dota wiki tells us that the passives from gyrocopter's flak cannon and rocket barrage both gets disabled by Doom (as well as LC's ulti) Correct, though for the record, the Purge portion is not why Flak Cannon is disabled. The base ability for Flak Cannon is actually Chemical Rage, which is not purge-able. It transforms Gyrocopter into a unit with permanent Split Shot and reverts him after the duration or the specified number of attacks. The reason that Doom disables Flak Cannon is because Doom disables Split Shot based passive abilities as well (note how Medusa's Split Shot is disabled even if you toggled it on before you were Doomed). Also note that this interaction was bugged in DotA 2 till mid last year, so Kupon might be misremembering based on the bugged state in DotA 2 for a long time. | ||

I've only ever lurked there and only have a very minimal understanding of JASS code, so most of my knowledge of how most of the skills work is secondhand. | ||
