Do LPQ matches count toward the Compendium 10 Hero Challenge?

I won a game with Death Prophet and it hasn't crossed it out or anything (does it even do that?)

It places a tick symbol on top of/above the hero portrait.
In some cases when the servers are under heavy load, the tick may not appear.

I don't know whether LPQ games count or not but I would assume they would.

Example of ticks: [image loading]

Any non-bot matchmade games should count towards the hero challenge.

What kind of things does Dual disabled? The wiki link says it disables most passives such as blur. Can you still proc item effects such as bash?

Also phase or treads on LC? Treads give you more flexibility with HP and mana and synergises late game with your ulti will, but phase synergises well with MoC, gives you some more chasing power and is probably more influential during your first few dual ganks...

(I generally build blink on LC, then choose between Deso, armlet, bkb into AC etc.)

Duel is... extremely strange. It disables the vast majority of passives. The exceptions are those which were coded as triggered passives in WC3. These are kind of random, but tend to be nonstandard things like Kraken Shell, Juxtapose and Feast. By and large, this behavior has been correctly ported to D2.

Duel also disables most item procs. So, no, you cannot bash, crit etc. Item effects which do work include most orb effects (mael, OoV, deso, skadi), and - I think - Sange/SnY maim.

Quick question:

If I'm playing Abaddon as a support hero, should I be getting most of my farm from towers and team contributing to team fights? I'm buying wards and health etc. in the early game and I just find it hard to get arcane boots / mek quickly.

I don't think you should have any expectation of a well timed mek on abba. Arcane boots are also a lot easier to procure when you have another support who can pick up one round of wards which should give you the time to farm ur energy booster, although if you can convince ur team to push 2 towers ever then arcanes should be easy to acquire from that gold.

Consider an urn over a mek since its got a ton of sexiness for you and helps keep you topped up so that you can keep everybody else topped up.

Ur hero isn't amazing at farming and so while grabbing a jungle camp or wave here or there is fine, realistically your time is more valuably spent elsewhere keeping ur team safe so mostly you just get items as they come Which means skip mek unless ur getting it at a good time for whatever reason.

It is for the most part, Doom has a list of some extra things that it disables that Icefrog added to make the skill stronger.

Duel is based on War3 ladder Doom, which disables anything based on: Crit, Bash, Cleave, Evasion, Damage Block, Permanent Invisibility, and most orbs (UAMs).

Passives not based on these things are for the most part not disabled. Notably, most Auras remain active during Duel/Doom, the exception being Radiance burn.

Yeah I have been maxing shield and heal with 1 level of slow (and ulti as it comes) and just my abilities are usually good enough to keep me going for a long time.

Ideally, what should my hero look like end game if I just want to support 3-4 carries (let's be serious here, it's pubs...) I've been getting arcane boots, both urn and mek, and then blademail (because it works great with my ulti).

Blademail actually works terribly with ur ult since nobody wants to hit you with it on anyway.

Get a force staff that items nutso good on all supports. Aghs is actually fine as support if u end up rolling in dough, so is pipe. If you are richer than that then ur games messed up.

I just meant if someone comes after me I blademail then ult so there's no incentive to ever attack me, which leaves me free to heal the other guys as necessary.

Is that totally wrong lol... I'm pretty noob at this game. But 100% with this hero so far

And yeah typically I'm avoiding last hits (leaving them for the carry) so I'm pretty poor all game.

Vlad's is good. Medallion also, especially since during your ult, the self -Armor stops being a drawback.

Because he demolishes OD in lane. And OD's biggest strength traditionally is winning his lane super hard.

Same as usual, start with a Stout and max Anchor and Gush secondary. Although he is a really mediocre jungler, better to pull/leech a level or two or gank a bit with Gush first then go jungle.

Can u just ancient stack and farm with anchor? I think that was what he was wondering.

I haven't tested this myself.
