AA ulti's radius is proportional to the distance of AA and the landing spot.
meaning, the farther aa is, the larger the radius.

Losing to 5-man dota a lot lately. When I play solo normal matchmaking. (not ranked)
It seems it is very popular for Russian 5 or 4-stacks.

But how do I adapt to this? Should we just keep staying in lanes when they start gathering and fight under tower? The most usual thing that happens is teammates getting caught outside tower or in jungle over and over.

I really do not like the tendency of people to standing 5 mid and waiting for the enemy to go on us.

Anyone?

B) Late game on Nyx what do you get after you have E-Blade and Dagon 5 when your carries are actually good.


Hex, Force Staff, BKB, Linkens, Abyssal, Heart, Mjollnir, Divine Rapier. I honestly stand by the rapier for extra damage if you can take it but you generally want more disables or protection so you can initiate. e.g. mana burn eblade is probs more damage against certain heroes than dagon 5 eblade, but of course you can do both.
Just destroying teams with dagon rush is of course fine too.

Guys, quick question about setups in CM:

Radiant
Wraith King (bot), Death Prophet (mid), Furion (off), Witch Doctor (bot), Sand King (bot)

vs.

Dire
Pugna (mid), Magnus (top), Doom (off), Ancient Apparition (top), Shadow Shaman (top)

Which team do you think would win, picks wise, and why?

Dire should trilane with a farming pugna imo and let doom solo safe.

It doesn't matter what mode it is. I'm just asking how to beat it.

in a situation like that you dont. unless you play something like a am/furion and just farm/splitpush all game without getting caught out.

You need to be coordinated as a team to deal with it with 1 of 2 options.

1. Group as 5 and take it head on as a team

2. Get good wards up and punish them with split push and never fight until you can do 1.

Wisp's ability description says:

"If Io is interrupted during the casting delay, Relocate will be cancelled."

But he can relocate out of blackhole? How's that work.

Are you talking about the go-to teleport, or the return 12 second later?
The return always happens.

Pick heroes that are strong in 5v5s, or split push, or pick good anti push heroes that can stall while the rest of the team farms the map

Oh maybe it was the return I was seeing. That'd make sense.

Yeah I mean you have three major options and most of them come down to picks.

You can:

1) pick superior teamfight and beat them at their own game,
2) pick lots of antipush and make them waste time and XP seiging into kotl/tinker etc
3) pick a rat hero with a good escape, and push towers elsewhere

Ideally you'd do some combination of the above. Remember that if they are together early they are losing XP and gold unless they are taking towers very quickly or getting lots of kills. If you can stop your team feeding, slow their pushes and trade towers/farm in other lanes, you can eke out a lead.

Personally, I try to do everything I can to stop my team engaging facerush Xv5 unless we have a clear advantage. Feeding a teamwipe on top of a tower that was lost anyway is the fastest way to throw a game.

Even if your picks aren't super well-suited to it, most random compositions will have at least a few nukes for waveclear, something that wants to farm alone, and some teamfight. If all three lanes feed and then they start five-manning you can be in a bit more trouble though.

Euls also purges dust, though that's so obscure it's almost limited to I-played-ability-draft-and-got-riki-ult-plus-mana-intensive-spells.

Question: Is MMR decay in Dota a thing? Like if I don't play for an extended period of time, will my MMR decrease (hidden MMR, obviously not ranked MMR)?

So the casters during ESL One keep talking about how to break the linkin's as a bane or a doom. Can't bane just use any of his spells... followed by fiend's grip? And doom can use lvl death, followed by doom. Easy?

Both heroes have fairly long cast animations and time is of the essence in many cases
