while they backdoor your creeps its also nice for one of your heroes to stay under the tower to try last hit creeps and yes it's an established thing | ||

Shutting it down as soon as possible is important as well. Letting them skip for a few levels will just mean they can go towerdive very soon after. Heroes with just very strong level 1 spells, like veno + sven does really well vs it. | ||

I've seen pro games where they go Boots Bottle PT Orchid BKB Mjollnir but never understood why they'd go for the hammer when Guinsoo and Aghy are on the table? Is there a preferred site for looking at hero guides? I'm transitioning back into DotA from HoN and a year of League and don't know how the new ones work (as far as both strategy and button mashing). On top of that, the game seems to have changed a bit, like how Krob and Potm are played as supports early now. Why do people say DotA heroes are more OP than League champs? Not a strategy question but it's something I've been curious about. Please and thank you. I would say they seem more OP mainly because you get punished for mistakes in dota compared to league where it feels like everything does less damage and a mistake can be fixed with a summoner spell like flash.

His bear hits really hard, you just need items. He's naturally tanky but somewhat of a slow farmer. Get midas, phase, maelstrom, ac on the bear. And then go either MKB or BKB or Basher. You can go double bash for you and your bear. Good items for you are Ghost scepter, HH, Sheep, Vlads, Abyssal. He has two abilities that makes him and his bear hit harder in W and D so use them. Somewhat micro reliant but really strong when done properly. Safelane is the best lane for him and usually with a support you know. Sylla needs lvl 5 as soon as possible so the support need to let him get there early. | ||

You could go deso if you really care about towers but bear just loooooves that attackspeed. Bear also doesn't need regen if he's low you can resummon or run him back to base while ur hero farms a safe lane. Bfury technically works but is awful  | ||

You probably need regen on bear but idk if battlefury is a legit bear item. Not legit pretty sure. All of the mana regen goes to waste and cleave is mostly pointless. Entangle procs are usually your key to locking someone down and hacking away at them. Any cleave targets can just move away in most situations. The bfury build up doesn't really do you any good either. I think in all cases you'd be getting more from maelstorm and properly microing the bear. | ||

Juggernaut continues to attack normally in addition to the Omnislashes while jumping around. In these attacks, Juggernaut can place buffs and trigger chance effects such as Blade Dance. how do his attacks work? does he attack whomever you are hitting with omnislash at the time? | ||

Yes. Note that each jump interrupts his attack so you need certain thresholds of attackspeed to get 1 or 2 hits off per jump. | ||

It's added AoE damage to deal with illusion based heroes, and also has synergy with her usual core item of Orchid. If no illusion heroes are present, Mjollnir is better skipped for Bkb/sheep/aghanims and overall Desolator is a better orb on Akasha. what about mjolnir for the right clicks even when there are no illusion heroes? can you get a casual maelstrom and build into it later? | ||

If you want to sure, but I think if there is no illusion heroes making a threat, Desolator is way better than Mjollnir overall imo. | ||
