There's Liquid Pasture Community League, currently inactive (post season? also the usual winner can hardly be described as 3k), but aside from that it's mostly local inhouse leagues I'd say. There's always JDLeague which consists of different brackets, so you can try there.

Starladder tends to have all levels of play. Can make most games work, even though there is somewhat of a language barrier.

http://dota2.starladder.tv/league/am/?stage=7038

The site does have a decent English function.

Is MKB the way to on Storm when you need to build for right-click damage?
Usually after some combination of bloodstone/Sheepstick/orchid/linken's/BKB I feel the need to contribute with some physical dps. If I remember correctly Daedalus does more in terms of raw dps but for some reason on storm the favoures dps-item is often MKB, is there some weird interaction of crit and/or mkb with storm's passive or what is the reason for skipping crit?
I play children's card games and watch a lot of dota, CS and HS

Are there enemies with evasion? I can't see any reason to favour MKB over critstick if the truestrike isn't needed

Hi all,

When I play Clockwerk I am pretty good at initiating and ganking random heroes on the map, but when they just bring 5 men to a tower and just fight us straight up or attack the tower I feel really useless.

Any advice on how to play better defense as Clock?

Thanks

Templar Assassin for sure. I dont know of others.

You can also buy items that give you evasion.

Many heroes are lacking a way to cancel TPs, MKB solves this problem with enough AS.

Do you actually have to be struck by the machines in tinkers march to take damage? Or is it just a big square animation, and you take damage from being within it? Cause I could swear it looked like there had to be collision when a tinker was playing a viper solo mid.

Aren't you supposed to cogs and then break out the backside? They get repelled by the cogs and you get away freely. That's what I've seen anyway

learn to prioritize targets, you can hook cog then force staff yourself out if they have a melee carry, or isolate with hook cog battery assault a soft support.
spam cogs at ramps to at least delay the push a bit

Afaik you have to collide with the machines. I've been able to dodge some of the damage with moderate success, as well as time last-hits better.
This is my signature. There are many like it, but this one is mine.

OK then I'm not out of my mind. It seems like its pretty easy to find the gaps when you're near the end of the march animation. The guy I was watching was only hit a couple times
