Lol happens in half of my games in MM. I think the last second picks is what hurts most because your composition can really cost you the game from the beginning. Gotta communicate in the pre-game or else you're doomed to lose. Then try to keep a positive attitude throughout the game. Gotta realize that if NOBODY is warding not even your support, just gotta suck it up and ward yourself - your team will do better with a semi-carry warding and your support farming god knows waht rather than have nobody ward. At ~1670 even if you screw up really early, as long as not all the lanes are getting outfarmed and outplayed, the game is still recoverable. Just figure out how to adjust for everyone else.

Hey guys, just a question about dota. (recently started playing again).

if i am PL what items should i go for? Should i take the farm? Basically how the hell do you play PL in dota?

I was playing SB and i went boots+2bracer+vanguard and was sworn at over chat by my team. What items should i go instead? Note: Not pure pubstomper build, more of a slightly organized build.


Sorry i am a huge dota noob, played it extremely casually before i played/got into hon.

Also is furion the greatest hero or what?

PL is a massive farm whore, so take all you can get. Best build is something like: treads->vanguard->radiance->diffusal+heart+butter. Pub PL's will get terrible items like vlads or something. You should max your nuke first, use that to harass and in team fights as you main damage source until you have enough items to own by auto attacking. Use doppelwalk to escape and keep you from dying all game.

That build on SB is fine, vanguard on SB is a core item as it makes you incredibly hard to kill and allows you to tower dive.

zeal grab and mana herp, that's not that bad just always position yourself with creeps between you and dev unless the dev is really good at hooking right after a creep death dev isn't too difficult as long as you keep vision on him So even warnding the spots where he would try to flank you can help but warding is good in general. What i find annoying is a nymphora nomad lane, nomads low mana cost charge that do shit ton dmg and has a large range to it make life a bitch.

You know what's good against nymphora/nomad/whoever you're having trouble with? A power supply and regen items. You can thank me later.

Pretty much this. I also find Nomad to be incredibly difficult to lane against. And of course he becomes a powerhouse later in the game. Any advice on how to deal with him? Are there any heroes that make him easy to gank?

And when going against Nomad you can also bring a rev ward to make his life a bit harder.
Damn I wish there was Pugna equivalent in HoN, his ward would rape Nymph, Armadon and so many others T_T

Magebane proves he is the master of the flow of Magic around him,
limiting the speed enemies can control it while damaging them if they cast.
Level 1 : -15 Cast Speed, Damaged for 35% of abilities and items manacost when cast
Level 2 : -20 Cast Speed, Damaged for 50% of abilities and items manacost when cast
Level 3 : -25 Cast Speed, Damaged for 65% of abilities and items manacost when cast
Level 4 : -30 Cast Speed, Damaged for 80% of abilities and items manacost when cast

Nether Ward (W)
Summons a Nether Ward that prevents enemy heroes from regenerating mana and can cast Mana Flare, which deals damage to enemy heroes as they cast spells. Lasts 25 seconds. Each level increases the area of effect of the Ward's Mana Flare, the Mana Flare damage, the negative mana regen and the hp of the ward.
Level 1 - Ward has 75 HP, -1.5 Mana regeneration to enemies, Mana Flare deals 0.75 damage per each point of Mana.
Level 2 - Ward has 150 HP, -3.0 Mana regeneration to enemies, Mana Flare deals 1.00 damage per each point of Mana.
Level 3 - Ward has 225 HP, -4.5 Mana regeneration to enemies, Mana Flare deals 1.25 damage per each point of Mana.
Level 4 - Ward has 300 HP, -6.0 Mana regeneration to enemies, Mana Flare deals 1.50 damage per each point of Mana.
• Damage type: magical
• Mana Flare is triggered when an enemy casts a spell and the damage is based on the spell's mana-cost.
• Mana Flare deals the damage before the actual spell is cast, so if the target dies the spell will have no effect.
• Area of Effect: 700/1000/1300/1600
Mana Cost: 80
