DotA's entire strategy landscape is tuned/optimized to this concept, regardless of the version tool; it's kind of funny because the penalties for pushing their towers and failing to capitalize on that (either due to line-ups or mistakes) is pretty much gg. Yet you rarely see that aspect outside of straight sell-out push line ups.

Why is that so? I really can't think of a reason why

its not insta-gg (mistakes can still be made) but its pretty fail to not do it... aside from the gold there is a huge aspect of map control, plus "momentum"

i dont even know if that can be considered a strat, it was probably how chinese played dota back then.

Because if they stabilize their map, they have the advantage of the creep wave being pushed back to them. It's over pushing, just how like you're not suppose to spam your skills to farm unless you need the wave cleared out then and there. Then they can hit a timing on your towers and the subsequent gold can push them into a key item, like a Radiance or a Blink Dagger. The classic overpushing scenario where they just funnel their incoming farm all into their carry and where they can cover him easily.

What really amazes me is that the Russians and Ukrainians run a very typical 3-1-1 line up based on killing the tower that their hard carry is in and let their player just manage the creep wave positioning with no fear of a port in as well as the good spot for hard counter-ganks via their own TPs. Like I watched Light on his Morph just keep the creep wave at about the same place for a good number of creep waves. They caught so many teams with that strategy where their Spectre hits a fair timing (good timing, but not impossible) on his Radiance right when the other team seems to stabilize and its just back breaking cause you're suddenly down so many towers and can't really get ahead.

Edit:

TLDR version, when they stop giving a shit about what you can do with that map advantage, as in once wards turn into counter-gank opportunities and not runaway opportunities, you better hope you still have enough of an advantage from early-mid to carry you into end game.

I was thinking about that but it doesn't seem hard to control your creep wave to your side of the map especially since you have map control w/ the level 1 towers while they can't go to theirs

Anyone know of any good DotA casting sites? It's been quite awhile since I've last visited any and most have switched to HoN/LoL or are just no longer updated. Also very interested in any live streams that are active.

When someone picks Silhouette...what manner of quitting the game do you usually use?

I prefer to use that game to jerk off. (mind you this starts to hurt fast because EVERY AP GAME HAS SOMEONE SPAM SILHOUETTE INSTANTLY)

No she is not fine how she is. If you think so, then pull your head out of your ass. /endrant

It's ok man she's basically a 600 range ursa (swipes + overpower) except her other 2 skills give her a quasi-blink, a long range stun, nuke and teleport. Instead of pbaoe slow and life leech.

if she couldn't build a geometers silhouette would be ok... but having 3 illusions at all time available while one does 100% damage is too much =/

☑ Post is related to HoN or DotA
☑ Not low-level noise
☑ Contributive

Conclusion: doesn't matter that it's a "personal ad" especially considering that he makes pennies if he does run ads lol
