True Dota 2 - Halberd on sb as first big item?


Halberd on sb as first big item?

Posted: 22 Jul 2017 10:05 AM PDT

I've been trying this a lot in my pub ranked and it's been working out really successfully so far. I typically build it after treads, wand and urn. Occasionally blademail if I feel like it's necessary.

I don't know that there's even that much to explain, or gives 20str and 25dmg (so 45 damage to sb). You can usually farm it in 20-25 min before the enemies can really pile on linkens. Every team fight, charge the back lines, disarm the carry, bonus points if ranged (especially ones like Templar and drow) and you've won the fight for your team since you have likely shut down 50% of their dps output. Your damage is also now relatively respectable, along with your ehp to physical heroes, so hammering away at their heroes is usually not a bad option.

Why are more and more pros going Mask of Madness on Wraith King?

D2Bowie went briefly over it but I thought it was just a pro tinkering with a build.

Here's a video of Dendi also going Mask of Madness which convinced me otherwise.

When should you build and what are things you should consider if you plan on building the item.

Farming efficiency on AM

Posted: 22 Jul 2017 02:50 PM PDT

Ok does anyone know what talent is better for anti mage, 20 AS or -1 blink CD? I see most people getting attack speed but i feel like getting blink cd and just carrying around more clarities solves mana problems. Plus it can be more useful in chasing people in fights or running away.

Another question, do qb and bfury stack and is it worth it to get both? does it really increase you're farming speed that much? Thanks for reading and sry if this was asked before i couldnt find a post about this

What are the reasons top tier mid invokers are going wand first item and double null?

Posted: 21 Jul 2017 09:25 PM PDT

The wand seems like it might be good vs certain mids that spam lots of spells, but i'm seeing it all across the board on top tier invokers.

In addition to this, what is with this new double null build on mids including invoker??

On the contrary, I see a lot more value in getting your midas 4-6 minutes earlier. Thoughts? What am I missing?

[Tutorial] How To Make Controllable Enemy Bots in Dota 2

Posted: 22 Jul 2017 03:03 AM PDT

Step 1: Make a lobby, enable cheats and disable all bots.

Step 2: Go on the Dire side, start the game and pick a hero.

Step 3a: In chat enter -createhero lina Step 3b: Do this 5 times (the 5th lina will be a controllable enemy bot. Hurray!)

Miscellaneous Tips

Tip 1a: Open console and enter sv_cheats 1 Tip 1b: Then enter dota_easybuy 1

Tip 2: With the enemy bot selected purchase anything you like no gold or shop required.

Tip 3: Do not forget to purchase Tomes of Knowledge to level up each bot individually.

Credit goes to gtg811x and DLRevan I found at http://dev.dota2.com/showthread.php?t=22468&page=3

I don't know how well known it may be to you guys but for me I've been trying to figure this out for (forever). Now I can test things like will Pipe and Blademail activation actually reflect magic damage or w/e.

I know there are youtube videos of people using bots to test things but with no instructions on how to do that at home so I thought making this would be helpful to some.

Why save tomes until xp gain talents are reached?

Posted: 21 Jul 2017 05:33 PM PDT

I don't understand why some people save tomes of knowledge until they reach the xp gain talents. Unless using the tome puts you over the necessary level, is there any value for saving the tome? It still takes the same amount of xp to get up to level 10, so if you use the tome at level 6 or 7 and it pushes you up, at most, one level, you will just be closer to the xp gain talent at which anything you would have gained to previously get there will now be amplified and you'll just have more stats and earlier levels in skills leading up to it. Obviously if the tome puts you over the threshold for the xp gain level, you'll be wasting some xp which won't be amplified, but otherwise you shouldn't be losing anything, right?

I ask because, watching Dream League, it was noted that KuroKy on Liquid always saved the tome until he had the xp gain and this never made sense to me.

How do you safelane properly?

Posted: 22 Jul 2017 09:02 AM PDT

I never really got how the pros did it. When do you pull? How do you manipulate creep aggro to your advantage?

Playing heros like spirit breaker = free wins

Posted: 21 Jul 2017 04:00 PM PDT

I'm 5k and keep winning my games doing this.

When i go the sb build and roam around as if i were that hero I destroy the enemy. People just dont deal well when u run at their face like a charging roamer.

Whatever hero you have just go from lane to lane and spam your ability whatever it may be. People are just not ready for it.

i just go tranquils->urn->wand->vlads=>helm and "run" at people from across the map during the first 10 min and hit them with whatever. Doesn't matter what hero I am because the regen from this build will restore HP and MANA really well and you can just keep going and going while helping out the team with armor, hp life steal, damage and mana regen.

I guarntee you guys if you try this you will see your wins go up.
