Item Discussion of the Day: Hand of Midas (January 17th, 2018)

Posted: 17 Jan 2018 01:53 PM PST

Hand of Midas

Preserved through unknown magical means, the Hand of Midas is a weapon of greed, sacrificing animals to line the owner's pockets.

Cost Components Bonus
500 Gloves of Haste +20 Attack Speed
1650 Recipe N/A
2150 Hand of Midas +30 Attack speed, Ability: Transmute

Active ability: Transmute

Kills a non-hero target for 200 gold and 1.85x experience. Cannot be used on Ancient Creeps.

  • Cooldown: 100 Seconds

  • Cast range: 600

  • Gold bonus: 200 gold

  • Experience Bonus Multiplier: 185%

  • Upon cast, kills the target unit instantly and grants the caster 200 reliable gold and 185% of the target's experience bounty.

  • The target's default bounties are not granted. This means that no hero nearby gains the default gold and experience from the death.

  • Despite the visual effects, the gold and experience are granted instantly.

  • Deals damage equal to the target's current health to kill it. This damage fully ignores any form of reduction or amplification.

    • This means that it triggers most on-damage events like (neutral or lane) creep aggro.
  • Cannot be cast on wards, buildings, ancient creeps, or Necronomicon summons.

Recent Changelog:

7.06

  • Increased recipe cost from 1550 to 1650 (total cost from 2050 to 2150).

  • Transmute

    • Increased experience from 175% to 185%.
    • Reduced gold bonus from 220 to 200.

7.05

EG Manager Phillip on Galaxy Battles Accommodation so far: Good hotel, slick venue and practice areas 95% better than most LANs.

I am not watching ESL One Genting through Facebook

Posted: 18 Jan 2018 09:16 AM PST

Even if you will be able to watch it without having an account, I'm not in any way supporting FB by giving the platform views.

Will do anything to find an alternative stream.

Any other FB boycotters here? Because I honestly wouldn't mind watching a tourney somewhere else but twitch. FB however, no thank you.

With this year's Aegis arriving today my little shrine is looking pretty nice

I hate it when people report you for just being bad at the game

Posted: 18 Jan 2018 07:46 AM PST

I am ranked archon two, and I play alot of ranked and sometimes I play in a lane where the other person is just better I end up with a few deaths and by the end of the match we have lost and I didn't manage to grab a few items, or I have a few more deaths then others, even just putting a ward in the wrong spot sometimes. Boom two weeks later your in low priority, I say nothing toxic anymore I don't intentionally feed and I try to work with the team when they request ganks, wards, tangos etc. But we all got to be so damn toxic if someone's bad you report them... I've been playing since 2011 so I get it. It's shitty when your good and someone who is bad drags the whole team down, but one bad player doesn't lose the game (I know because I've been on games where someone was trash and the other four still swamped 4v5 or 4v6 however you want to look at it). I know posting this probably won't improve the dota community just food for thought, I don't mind classic dota banter just save your reports for intentionally feeders please and thankyou.

P.s. what if when reporting someone it pulled up a replay of the game and you could select the time stamps where the person was report worthy so the person receiving the report could see what they did wrong

PSA for anyone who's gotten an Aegis delivery notice from GLS but has no idea where it is

Posted: 18 Jan 2018 04:58 AM PST

So yesterday I got a delivery notice from GLS that my Aegis had been delivered to my local drop off point. They somehow forgot to mention exactly where this drop off point is located and GLS themselves do not even have any own drop off points here in Sweden.

I however did manage to figure it out, but I thought I'll share the steps since it was hardly as straight forward as it should be.

  1. Go to https://gls-group.eu/EU/en/gls-partner-sweden and choose your country to find out which company GLS partners with in your area. (DB Schenker in Sweden)

  2. Then go to https://gls-group.eu/EU/en/parcel-tracking and enter the tracking number that you got in the email from CMD Collectibles (aegissupport@cmdcollectibles.com).

  3. In my case there was a Swedish Parsel Number listed under shipment information, so I'm guessing there should be something similar for other countries.

  4. Go to the drop off point and give them that number, and hopefully they'll have your package.

Note that I could not use the parcel number to find it on DB Schenker's website, but I could use it to retrieve the package at the drop off point.

Hopefully this is helpful to someone out there!

Make tp's colored again

Posted: 17 Jan 2018 05:37 PM PST

The current animations are cool and all, but colorless hero silhouettes are extremely difficult to recognize in split-second situations (partially due to cosmetics). Luna vs. Mirana is much harder to tell than teal vs. orange. Please add colors back to incoming tp animations.
