yeah idk if you guys remember your first 50 games or so but they probably all looked like this

2 items because they're saving for a big item that will never come bc they cant farm and fighting is always occurring sporadically. if lower level players just get their small stepping stones, i think they'll be in a good place.

i know we started talking about void's skill build but i think this discussion is important too.

Okay, this one caught me by surprise. Didn't catch this one grow; I would estimate that it hit 1 million about 3 days ago

Tomorrow is the next stats checkpoint. Hopefully we'll see a big boom thanks to The International. I'm expecting 2.5 million as opposed to the declining 2 million.

I think the issue is that we all have varying views of how newbies play. Both for easier characters that the newer players start with and more advanced players who are just unfamiliar with the hero.

There is also the conflicting part where we are advocating for the standard way of play; which is ambiguous in its own defintiion when using it as a ruler to decide how much emphasis we put on early-game purchases.

bkb is so not core on storm
u have to get it a lot but if u don't HAVE to get it its so ass
orchid is definitely also not an "extension" item its either a first item or else a 2nd item if your bloodstone was well timed and you are on tempo for a very fast 2nd item.
no self respecting storm in the history of dota has bought a skadi i don't think

Yes, I was thinking the same as well as we've been shifting away from Black King Bar.
About 8 months ago, I remember it being bought. I've shifted MKB and Linken's there instead.

Question about Medusa - after reading some threads both here and on Reddit, I thought the general consensus was that Manta is kind of universally underwhelming on her, except against Orchid/Silence opponents.

I wouldn't just haphazardly change all Dagons to Dagon 5. Only a small number of heroes consistently upgrade their Dagons (e.g. Tinker). The rest are situational choices depending on how much more mileage you expect to get out of the item based on the game.

If it's a hero with Dagon core, then make the core Dagon 1 and put Dagon 5 in extension or situational.

I'll do stats today, latest changes post on the first post.

I really want to fix this topic to be more of a better hub. At least have the icons tabled instead of one long list.

I don't know.

At least have a header that states the current bugs that prevents certain updates (textboxes broken, Beastmaster guide broken).
