What's up with couriers changing to others in the middle of a game? Like when I'm watching these Summit mathces suddenly one team has a completely different courier than they had 2 minutes ago, and it for sure isnt that they have two couriers at once.
I play children's card games and watch a lot of dota, CS and HS

Changed in 6.82 to morph to the courier of whoever it is delivering to.

Getting better is typically how you progress in MMR.
If you aren't increasing in MMR you're clearly not improving as a player or you keep making certain mistakes that are keeping you down.

What MMR are you at?
From the Ghastly Eyrie I can see to the ends of the world, and from this vantage point I declare with utter certainty that this one is in the bag!

If you're hovering around the same mmr, it's most likely because that's your skill level, and you just need to get better at the game......

Welcome to teamliquid friend! There are many different ways to win ranked games. If you want to go up in mmr, I would suggest playing jakiro.

Hm, im not sure how nightstalker support would work. I guess if you were good enough with him you could pull it off. You'd have to be leaderboard worthy though.

In the latest patch there was this change to Assault Cuirass (And Shivas Guard too):
- Assault Aura no longer displays its debuff on the enemy if the carrier is not visible

Is the debuff still applied on the enemy though? But just not shown?
mostly harmless

Correct, the debuff is still applied and you can still actually see the lowered armor value. There's just no icon for the buff.

Does anyone know how to use Medusa ulti effectively? Is it a good way to participate in mid-game fight?

1) Do the enemy know whether the gaze is active or not?
2) Will the still be turned into stone if they look at me while being stun?
3) What if I stand uphill and they look at my direction but don't see me through fog?



Best or nothing.

1) yes
2) yes
3) yes

its simply if the model is facing ur hero inside 1000 aoe.

That said, you don't want to go looking for midgame fights. Just keep farming generally and use ult to get out if they gank you. Its not that you can't fight it's just that turning on ult and running at the enemy just makes them run till ur ult's done then they kill u. In other words its really hard for you to force a fight so it's better to farm.
