Yes tower pushes paired up with minions like Furions trees. Howl is a dumb spell. I know you should really shouldn't compare spells. However, sometimes it gives a perspective. People thought AA's chilling touch was really strong. Howl compared to Chilling Touch: CT has +80 dmg for 6 attacks. You have to group up to buff it, and it slows your attack speed. Also doesn't work on minions. Howl +50 /+20 for minions for 10 seconds (which is more than 6 attacks for most heroes, especially carries lategame), GLOBAL, doesn't slow attack speed. And it works on minions. I think a lot of people don't realize how strong that spell actually is. | ||

Can someone look over and tell me what I could have done to win these last few games? http://dotabuff.com/matches/720615905 http://dotabuff.com/matches/720699421 http://dotabuff.com/matches/720359902 This probably doesn't belong in this thread, but I watched the beginning of your Morph game anyway. You start with not enough regen against a Weaver and apparently play the entire lane without considering that you could contribute to pressuring/killing him. There is little reason to skill Morph at 3/5/7 and it just hampers your kill potential. You also miss out on 2 possible kills because you don't position yourself as aggressively as you could. First when Rubick used Dust you could have run forward as soon as Weaver turned around and would have gotten the kill (although the lvl 1 waveform at lvl 3 makes it close). A bit later you had a shot at just finishing him off with Waveform (at the very least, you could have forced out a Shukuchi by just looking more menacing). You also ran around at too much Str which doesn't exactly help your lack of regen and worsens your lasthit and kill potential. Missing around 10 lasthits in 3 minutes (and finishing your Aquila) also delayed your needed RoH, which probably contributed to you not playing confidently on lane. All of this together resulted in a Morph with 60 cs at 14 min, who then replicates right next to an enemy Pudge and dies. | ||

Only one pair of boots is active at a time, and in all cases BoTs take priority over Treads on secondary meepos, regardless of pickup or slot order. So secondary meepos lose the benefit of treads if you get both. I didn't know this, but Treads + Aghas actually makes Treads give +16 selected stat to secondary meepos, because they get the +8 from main meepo via stat sharing, and also the +8 from their own pair. -edit- ninja'd also about howl - it works against towers, too, whereas touch does not. | ||

Also, on an (I'm assuming) unrelated note; what is rat dota? I keep hearing commentators saying stuff about rat dota, but they don't explain what it is. | ||

aghs is bad on np and very situational. you shouldnt spam your ulti everytime it is on cooldown because - it 'steals' the creeps of your allies - it is very strong in team fights i often use ulti before ganking or during a team fight (but casted on the other side of the map for maximum efficiency). in my own opinion, there are 3 types of NP Support NP (not the best support but hey, you always dont get the roles you want in pubs) -buys the courier and wards while buying clarities in jungling, you cant offlane. -get phase as fast as you can while going treant/tp/sprout into 1/1/3 -gank with tp sprout (especially with greedy mids) -mek into necro 3 into scythe -midas if you have the space but you can also skip this, money wont be a problem for NP Split-Push NP -boots first if solo offlane, RoP + clarities if jungling -get midas into necro3 (but shadowblade is also good) -desolator for that -armor on towers + manta if it gets that late or you could go scythe Carry NP -boots first if solo offlane, RoP + clarities if jungling -get midas into shadowblade (orchid if needed for certain situations) - maelstrom -> mjolnir or BKB or scythe (depends on the situation) - daedalus this is how i play NP and for fuck's sake dont go cliff jungling | ||

Sometimes, I've seen my own character call "Missing top!" without me having called it (by accident). Is this a built-in feature or was I just not listening carefully? | ||

Sometimes, I've seen my own character call "Missing top!" without me having called it (by accident). Is this a built-in feature or was I just not listening carefully? you can "alt-click" a portrait on the top to call missing you can bind a hotkey to call "Missing!" which is contextual..if you are top it will say "Missing Top!", if you are mid it will say "Missing Mid!" etc. if you aren't in a lane, it will just say "Missing!" there is also a chat wheel phrase "All Enemy Heroes Missing!" | ||

Which is : necrobook 3, aghs, refresher, necrobook 3, boots of travel If you obtain all of these items you are a boss and have no chance of losing Also you forgot the deathball push strat furion, not common in pubs but if you have the right lineup you should go mek into necronomicon btw only put 2 points into treants if you are going a gank-oriented build, like the cheesy shotgun dagon prophet. You should only have 2-3 points in it an max teleport first regardless of build unless you are doing early push strat. | ||
