how to find out if you are noob at dota:

you made sange and yasha more than once in your last 100 ar games

Its really good to see that some people dont let education get in the way of their ignorance

It's a good, well-rounded item. It's especially good on clinkz since he will almost always maim. Just because almost all combat-oriented heroes get it doesn't mean it's any worse of an item.

It gives you a noticeable boost in HP, which most orb items don't. Plus it's really easy to make, and cheap.

It's completely situational though. I prefer to get the items you've mentioned later. I'm not saying that S&Y ranks up there with the 'godly lvl 4 items.' It's just FAR from a waste of gold.

Claiming that making S&Y is noob is ridiculous.

btw, what are your favorite heroes?

I love pudge (who I play only when I host). He isn't so great against a good, organized team but he's really fun and powerful. I usually pick him when the other team doesn't have too many high hp heros.

I random most of the time but I do well with faceless and death prophet when it comes to teamwork. They are good at both small and big fights.

Oblivion, Enchantress, Bane Elemental, Lycantrope, Rogue Knight, Lightning Revenant, Siren <--- definitely my favourite heroes. First three and siren I like because you really need some skill with them not to lame completely and you always have something else to do than pressing 'A' and clicking somewhere. Lycan and Sven are my favorite melee heroes, they have all you need to be useful for the team throughout the game and they pwn ass, lycan with speed and sven with sheer might of his blows

Random Fact: If you manage to get power treads, battlefury, satanic and heart of torrasque on sven you're pretty much invincible and pose a threat to anything out there (and if you add buriza and radiance later...)

How is that in any way a fact? Any sort of debuff will take care of god's strength and you are extremely vulnerable to disables and stuns. Fail.

Medusa is supposedly the counter to sven, but there are others too. Then again, all heros have counters.

I like Lycan because he is a badass hero who will get the job done fast and get out of there fast, if he needs to that is.

On Lightning Revenant, what I do these days is get boots, RoR, 3 circlets and some TP scrolls and tower hug while farming. Then I get Radiance which usually gives more damage than my base damage. It takes patience but as long as you can analyze the minimap, you will survive.

S&Y is one of favorite items and I get it because I can be more effective with it than if I save up for something more expensive. I could usually finish it at lvl 9 (depends on my hero and the enemy hero in my lane) while the enemy heroes are still saving up for those higher lvl items. Though I only get with some heroes I know it would be great on and it also depends on the situation.

My fave heroes are mortred, rhasta, rylai, doom, nerubian assassin, spirit breaker, prophet
mortred - my signature hero lol
rhasta, rylai - they have been nerfed so many times and yet they are still powerful. At one point, rylai is one of only a few int heroes which can still own late game.
doom - farming god haha
nerubian assassin - awesome hero which owns early to mid game and supports end game
spirit breaker - somewhat a str mortred but easier to farm and has more hp
prophet - can be made into a hero killer, pusher, and farmer ^_^

Sven and Medusa counter each other back in 5.84c.
