Basically ideally you'd want someone else to get the Mek.

Mek on a support AA is too slow to be impactful.

TBH the singular "lane" designation rather than "support" "off-lane" and "carry" is somewhat irksome because now you have no way to distinguish AA as a dual offlane farmer vs. as a safe lane support.

In most games, if you're dual laning, you will probably not get the farm in the games usually played (unless youre a premade team)

The newest changes are for Alchemist and Nature's Prophets whose guides were a bit of a clusterfuck and didn't load the page because there were too many items on there. Nature's Prophet seems a bit overbearing at the moment as well (Alchemist isn't that bad).

I have a lot more free time now (lol), so I will probably do the easy guides like Invoker remake and Dragon Knight mid.

I'll need to figure out Skywrath Lane and Lycan Lane sometime

Stats will come today/tomorrow.

So basically more than 1/10 of all dota2 players worldwide are subscribed to your naix guide.

We cannot accurately know how many users are active in Dota 2 or how many registered in total (with at least one game played + tutorial).

The statement we can make is that 10% of last month's (June) unique players [8,819,592] are subscribed to the Lifestealer (Jungle) Build.

It's similar to your statement, just clarified. We assume there is at least a minimum of 1.5 million unique subscribers to all the guides. But that would be an off-hand remark and there may be more or less than that.

Hmmm yeah i suppose some people could be inactive in June but subscribed, I never thought of that.

Still, I trust the magnitude of that achievement isn't lost on you.

E: that assumes an average subscription rate of over 15 guides per subscriber, which seems high? dunno. 2 million uniques seems safe to me but whatever.

It's pretty much my point of optimism at this junction of my life, I am very elated about it (:

I'm hoping to meet a proper statistician to be able to create some visualizations and statistical estimations on these numbers by October (October would be a full year of doing statistics) so we can have some cool figures and showings.

I like the new builds a lot!

I dont know if you want to have everyone be using a max poison dazzle build since its really aggressive and isnt good when you're behind. I'd probably max heal by default since it has really high damage and it lets you stay safer in fights. Skilling dazzle is dumb though so whatever you want is fine.

Your mid naga has maxed mirror image first btw.

Weaver: Max geminate over the swarm is more common than swarm first

Dirge: Want 2-3 points in soul rip after you max tombstone as you can usually get enough zombies to make it strong
In Mushi we trust

Thank you.

It's a draft phase. I might change it back to heal but a lot of people prefer the poison instead.

Mid Naga maxes mirror image so she can farm jungle creeps as she is farming mid.

Weaver: Don't you want swarm maxed first for the armor reduction and thus dealing more damage?

I will look into Undying!

Thank you very much

edit: I guess the Doom build I'm seeing at TI4 should be in the guides?

On the topic of doom,

There are indeed 2 common progressions
1) Mana boots -> Mek. The theory here being that doom can always achieve a reasonable mek timing with devour and doesn't have to contribute right-click if he can just cast DOOM + Mek. Offlane/mid dooms can do this too, it isn't necessarily a "4-position only" build. It usually continues into blink and then usually supporty items (think vlads) but it varies.
2) Midas -> Blink -> (mana item often shivas) -> BKB -> Refresher. A more farmy core build, aiming for the fastest double-doom possible (You need a shivas or aghs or similar to actually cast doom + refresher + doom). The BKB timing can be earlier or later but usually it ends up being right where I put it. Boots here vary but tranqs aren't uncommon as 4 armor is BIG for doom.
