True Dota 2 - Why don't we see more LC + Io?


Why don't we see more LC + Io?

Posted: 29 Apr 2017 07:27 AM PDT

On paper, this is a dream combo. LC loves all the things that tether gives, and her heal synergizes beautifully with Io's kit. Further, relocate + duel, along with nukes from Io's spirits, is ridiculously OP. It seems like such a strong combo would get more attention in pro games and elsewhere.

Why is Ember only played 1 way now?

Posted: 29 Apr 2017 06:27 AM PDT

I've been watching Kiev and the magical build seems to be the only build, even when the player falls behind. I don't get this, there's been a few games with loads of summons (treants/illus) and even with nerfed sleight cleave, why would a bf not be way more effective. I still exclusively run BF ember and have found it just as effective as pre nerf, as even when you fall behind you can still farm a lot.

Lycan Aghs idea

Posted: 29 Apr 2017 02:51 PM PDT

Looking for some feedback for this aghs idea. It's a bit ambitious and I haven't put effort into adequately balancing it. It's more of just a concept that I find interesting.

The purpose of this aghs upgrade is to make Lycan a more effective hunter, allowing him to quickly locate and kill isolated or wounded targets while he's transformed.

When in wolf form, Lycan is able to track enemy heroes' scent trails. They appear as visual effect on the ground where enemies have walked within the last 45 seconds. Scent continuously fades, so scents left more recently appear bolder to Lycan. Only Lycan can see these scent trails. Additionally, any enemy within 2545 units (double the area of Lycan's nighttime vision) and below 75% health is revealed to Lycan.

What do you guys think? I think Valve has an opportunity to do some cool thematic stuff with Lycan's aghs.

Omniknight's place in pro games

Posted: 29 Apr 2017 10:05 AM PDT

Been away from Dota for a long time but watching the Kiev Major I'm seeing Omni picked in a large percentage of games. I remember he always had one of the best winrates in pubs, but was never picked in pro games as coordinated teams simply played around his ult. What changed?

Should you build midas prior to building radiance and what situations should radiance be built in when playing WK

Lineup statistics parsing

Posted: 29 Apr 2017 07:24 AM PDT

Hello friends, this is an idea that's been in the back of my head for a while. I'm curious to know if there is a tool that shows 5x5 line up winrates. (!= individual hero winrate like opendota or dotabuff) Example: Hero1+Hero2+...+Hero5 VS Hero6+Hero7+...+Hero10 winrate for all possible combinations in the game, which should amount to 225.306.989.591.985.100.800 possibilities in all pick. Is there a way to obtain that info? I know there's the new explorer feature in opendota but I'm not sure how it works for that purpose. If anyone knwos of such a resource please help.

-30s Respawn VS +50 Attack damage on mid/core Lina?

Posted: 29 Apr 2017 08:43 AM PDT

So I'm watching game 1 of VP vs VGJ and Freeze opted for -30s respawn on Lina, is it really more valuable than +50 damage for a core Lina?

When I play Lina as core it feels like the +50 damage is really what enables her to really decimate heroes through not only her spells but her auto attacks also. Personally I don't feel like you really need the reduced respawn time since Bloodstone kind of already accomplishes the same thing.

Thoughts on this option? Dotabuff shows that +50 damage is slightly more popular and has a better winrate, but now I'm talking high level play.

2x Null Talisman on mid heroes? (especially Invoker)

Posted: 28 Apr 2017 05:28 PM PDT

I've seen pros and high mmr players doing it on many intelligence mid heroes, and I'm mainly asking about 2x Null on Invoker. Any thoughts on why you would buy another Talisman instead of getting Boots/Midas/Bottle/Wand or whatever you're gonna buy?

Make me use Upheaval as Warlock

Posted: 29 Apr 2017 12:32 AM PDT

2k scrub, who has a 60% WR with warlock. I feel like I have a good impact on most games, despite playing him as a position 5 (maybe more of a 4 because I'll often get the last hits through bonds/word, but no one else supports).

I generally build boots, urn, arcanes, solar crest, ags... And seem usually leave the rock to counter initiate, to fuck with the chaos at this level, and catch 3-4 enemies in rocks.

What I'm struggling with is actually using upheaval. I max word, then bonds and ults as I can, usually following Tortes build. In fights though, even in lategame, I'll use bonds, ultimate, word, solar (ally/enemy depending on how the fights going), and find I never actually use Upheaval.

Why is monkey king seen more as a roamer instead of a carry in comp?
