might as well argue for no more random hero damage too with crits/dodge/elevation as the only chance-based event

also, icefrog needs to write how much actual damage your spells do. the -25% off is so unnecessary

actually it's better because 300 is never dealt, while 225 is the safe bet on the actual damage. now if they have a hood or dr skills, it'll be up to you to take that into account, but it's stupid to manually take into account hero resistance when everyone is a damn hero

Well the difference, ryugie, is that creep $ is player-computer interaction whereas what you stated are mostly player-player interaction and players have a choice in when to engage/back. Then again my suggestion for less random creep $ is minor too.

Judging when to fight or back off with butterfly/buriza in mind is mostly skill too imo. I'm not saying remove all randomness from dota. Creeps are farmed without decision making skills but they have varying rewards o.o same for towers too.

I gotta disagree with the magic dmg stuff. How often do you do math in dota to decide whether you can kill someone or not. In most cases, you rely on your experience/sense. It's like starcraft, you don't complain that your vultures aren't 1 shotting a dragoon because you have 9 of them. You just develop judgment skills based on experience.

Eh, fuck you noob. No wonder you never appreciated how fucking strong techies is; you just don't know how to count mines and never got it right when you tried secretly. And btw, the "you" was referring to you, Heen. See the context of my post, it was replying to yours.

But yeah, the item/skill descriptions have improved a lot in the last few versions but still use inconsistent terminology and format, and some are downright misleading.

Even if what you say gets implemented, realistically, it wouldn't change much. People will still have to rely on their judgment. You can't seriously blame failed ganks on 'I didn't have enough time to multiple by 0.75.' Besides it's not as simple as you make it out to be. Slardar's stun is affected by armor, so are rexxar's wild axes etc.

A better change would be clearly stating what type of damage it deals and what it's affected by. After so many games of dota that attack type/damage type stuff still confuses me. Until recently, I didn't even know tinker's missiles goes through magic immunity if launched before magic immunity activates (cute jugg trying to get 1-2 more cs before he furytp's while tinker's spamming missiles lol).

If you really care enough, look through the triggers for each move and go from there, especially the fully triggered ones.

Full list of all hero damages.

Keep in mind that there still is a lot of shit that lists like those don't really tell you.

For example, reflected Blademail damage is pure, so you'd except it to deal damage to BKB'd enemies, but since it's damage type fire it does 0.

On another note: You can orb-walk with Invoker's summons. Awesome.

....damage type is not the same as attack type of course BKB can cancel it out, you're confusing the two still but arriving at the correct conclusion.

for anyone who cares enough when reading through trigger code

and any unit can orb walk, it's just animation canceling

Played vs Err0r (India) tonight:

http://www.playdota.com/forums/30895/adc09-round-3-err0r-vs-sup/

picks were slightly different from our usual style but it worked. We haven't had a chance to practice lately so you'll notice our play was rather sloppy. Thank god the host was playable unlike last time at least.

Game 1 is full of fail on our part and we just win with superior farm. It kind of reminds me of our discussion in the previous page.. but then again I didn't feel we were losing badly at any point in the game, just 'wtf are you guys doing!?' That's the downside of gangbanging your opponent with your entire team: you lose map control even though you're getting more kills.

Game 2 was fun to play. I couldn't resist the temptation to get midas (I still dislike the item itself). That's what happens when you get 4 spell casters without pushing power and opponent picks BB lol. Actually we had bb in mind with quite some time left but I was like 'hrmmmm let's see what other options we have' and everyone starts screaming that we only have 2 seconds left >_<

Uh, always?

At a certain point you've done all the calculations and know how much hp a 3/8ths bar on a level x hero y is, and you simply go.

There is no fucking magic 'instinct'; you did the math, or failed ganks because of it repeatedly while learning the game, and now its all pre-done for you in your head. Doesn't mean it wasn't done at a certain time, though. The fact that even hero-exclusive nukes (lol heat seeker missiles plz) are listed in incorrect numbers is a gigantic joke. You think people learning the game know why laser deals so much damage? Because it has an invisible damage type that they can't know without consulting secondary sources that makes it deal the actual damage it purports to deal?

The fact that we've gotten past that problem doesn't mean it isn't a problem. Its obviously bullshit and should be solved.
The number you have dialed is out of porkchops.
