Most importantly, it is of interest for me, but some here enjoy reading the 15 day summary updates. This is the data to support it.

In the past, I've had people doubt the numbers, so this is a precaution as well. Also serves as a projection for milestone blog posts (like at the 40 million mark, we could accurately predict 100 million subscriptions by October)

In short, most don't, but many others like to discredit.

It's support, it isn't realistic to expect warlock to get a core role in a pub match. I've gotten it maybe once.

I got safelane warlock exactly once (my team didn't pick a single traditional hard carry except mid so it ended up being me). I think by the end of the match I was drunk on power.

Then why do you have phase boots?

You're more likely to get phase boots on mid warlock than on Support, since phase is a decent 1v1 laning item. But most of the time on either you're going to stay on brown boots.

Midas should also still be on the support guide, even if it's not core.

So who exactly is starting Null Talisman on mid Earth that gave you this questionable idea?

He's not even an Intel hero.

I forget which Dotabuff I saw it on, but I wanted to change the starting items to something that will alleviate the difficulty in last hitting for him.

Though Stout Shield sounds like a better idea.

Tried Clockwerk. I was perpetually short on mana regen for most of the game with both phase/no mek and arcanes/mek. I could compensate with much fewer scouting rockets, but I feel like scouting rockets are half the point of the hero to begin with.

Math: If I want to keep a full combo's mana in reserve, and have just Wand+Blademail for +Int, at level 11 I can afford to use 4 rocket flares per base trip plus about one every 30 seconds. Fair enough.

If I need to combo someone and don't go back to base afterwards, I need to skip rocket flares for over 3 minutes to regain my combo. Not good. Granted, I probably get a couple of wand charges, but not 300 mana worth.

Bottle's situational and helps and you should regardless be in the habit of sending clarities when playing low base mana + low mana cost heroes.

Ugh that veno guide... I get so mad at Veno Shadowblade pick-ups. Seeing it followed by HotD would be infuriating. Doubly so without at least a value point in wards.

So glad your veno guide isn't anything like that one haha.

Yeah, I'm not sure whether to laugh or cry that these are your closest competitors.

I don't think I will be able to get any contributor badges for you guys.
Valve asks if I've shipped any content in-game, but they follow-up by asking if I've shipped any items.

I mean, the guides are part of the workshop, they go through a similar process of ratings, they get featured on the Steam Client and they are considered "content".

  • Is it an item? No.
  • Do I make money off of it like shipped items? No.
  • This doesn't make the project any less of a contribution, but I do feel it deserves equal unpaid reward such as tickets to The International for everyone who's helped make this project.
