Maybe it varies by server, but for my solo ranked games on USE/USW, I got into "High" around 3250 and "Very High" around 3660.


Also, "High" represents roughly the top 16% of games.

Np, just force staff yourself after facing away from the computer but before it explodes.
I think in our modern age technology has evolved to become more addictive. The things that don't give us pleasure aren't used as much. Work was never meant to be fun, but doing it makes us happier in the long run.

How does this actually interact? Does the second forcestaff effectively just refresh the duration of the first? Or does it wait until the first force staff has finished moving

What happens if 5 people force staff someone at the same time? Does he only go one length, or does it finish before starting the next, making him disappear onto the other side of the map?

Amusingly, that exact thing used to happen with earth spirit's kick. If you repeat bouldersmashed someone before the first had finished, they would teleport to somewhere in the dire offlane trees.

Okay so razor v. OD. How are you actually supposed to play this as razor?

Whenever I link him he just astrals and walks off, so I get some damage but so does he. If I'm trying to bully him I'm always in astral range, which means he's getting lots of int and eventually drains me down. Feels a lot more even than it should be.

The damage steal from link should allow you to trade last hits even though you get astral'd (as opposed to most mids that OD gimps).

Static Link's mana cost is really low and in the few games I have played of Razor vs OD I never really had mana problems. Also note that if he astrals you during link he gets slowed because of your E.

I think you just try to get as much damage from link as possible and try to out-CS him. You shouldnt be able to score kills on him and I doubt you can effectively bully him out of farm when he has bottle.

Lots of people were really happy to throw out the word "counter" when talking about Razor vs OD, as they were with the few other heroes that also does well vs him. But doing well against and countering are completely different things. Razor is one of the few heroes that can trade or win lanes vs OD, but dont expect to crush him like you do with some other mids.

You can wait for him to astral, and THEN go in to link, he has no escape so you should easily be able to get 3-4 ticks of damage before he gets back to tower range

Alternatively get up in his face before you link so the slow from your E prevents him from getting out of range. This will only work pre level 5

What do the positions refer to/mean? Like, #1, #2, etc. I know what the hero roles are (semicarry, ganker, etc), but this stuff is beyond me and I can't find anything on it looking through the rest of the forum.

Yes of course, what kind of question is that? What you're probably asking is "is it worth it?". And that can't be answered because every game is different. I'm pretty sure I've seen people do that in progames. But other times it would be a waste of time for the naix to stop his farming to potentially kill someone who might slip away anyways.
