Is creep experience divided evenly between heroes without penalty or is there a penalty? | ||

I'll also do this if I'm going for an item and have no open slots. Yes, that is a good thing to do in early-mid game. But as respawn times get longer, it's better to save for buyback | ||

The pros don't buy items until they're about to die and are sure they won't need to buyback, so if you can practice that it's not a bad thing to do. Set up a hotkey for buying whatever's in your quickbuy, so right before you die/teamfight you can hit that button. Of course if you're not comfortable with remembering that and aren't worried about playing ideally then you can just pre-buy everything. | ||

I was under the assumption that windwalk ( 100% evasion for physical attacks ) blocks Omnislash, same as a ghost scepter would do. I checked Juggernaut's items in the replay and he had boots/drums/aghs and no MKB so that was no the problem. He killed me during windwalk with his omnislash. So is this just a mechanic that i learned wrong or is it supposed to stop omnislash? | ||

So you can't dodge it like you cannot dodge other physical skill like Alch's stun. You can dodge the regular attacks he uses in the middle of the ult. | ||

I feel like I read it wasn't easy to make a difference for melee heroes. Is creep experience divided evenly between heroes without penalty or is there a penalty? There are no melee heroes with castable orbs (outside AD, of course). Not everything that's a UAM can be used to orbwalk, and all the orbwalkers currently in thr game are ranged. I'm not sure what you mean by penalty, but creep xp is always shared evenly between nearby heroes on the opposite team to the dead creep. Denied creeps give less in total, but this smaller amount is still shared evenly. | ||

Denied creeps give less in total, but this smaller amount is still shared evenly. Thanks for the orbwalking distinction. In WC3 melee heroes with orbs could hit flyers so I wasn't sure if it changed the way they attacked. I don't think it does or at least not significantly. When a hero dies in dota, if one person got the kill they get like 100% Exp, when 2 hero share the exp they both get 75% each, when 3 heroes get a kill they all get like 30% each. So I was wondering if it was the same with creeps. See: Experience per Allied Hero in Range here: http://dota2.gamepedia.com/Experience How do you go to the shared items tab? I see people do this a lot. | ||

Melee heroes who pick castable orbs in AD can use them to orb-walk and it works exactly like orb-walking with ranged heroes including generating a projectile. (EDIT: disregard; there is no projectile) Also, the shared items tab is near the upper left corner of the screen. | ||

Also, the shared items tab is near the upper left corner of the screen. I haven't played AD in weeks, but if you had Earthshaker with Burning Spears for example, you would retain the range of Burning Spears (which is what, about 400-450?) but it wouldn't show a projectile. It just looks like ES attacks the air from 400 range away and you suddenly catch fire. | ||

Techincally all melee character have a certain range, Doom's range is actually higher than TA's without psi blades, and Tiny's with Aghs is pretty big. It just doesn't look weird because they have models that support it. | ||

Are there graphical settings that i should turn off? Like in Quake 3 or even SC2 where you gain vision/overview advantage by turning down the graphics. | ||
