Except (unless they fixed it) links break the second you leave town unless you carry the items on you. Thus you can't spam your WTS items while grinding.

20s finger is the most overrated change in the patch. Early on, you won't have Aghs and you won't have mana to finger twice. Later on, engagements don't last over 20 seconds, and you still might not have mana to finger twice.

Fable is worth remaking?

Sounds like so much fun to stuff 20 qual stones into an item for every fusing attempt.

I bet you're just saying that because you are the kind of tryhard that uses Avalanche and Toss in combination instead of separately like a real man. Tryhard.

That was incredible.

In full team games, tryhard is a compliment. In pubs it's a valid insult. If you're picking absurd lane combos against disorganized opposition you're sucking a lot of fun out of what is originally a non-serious game just to increase your chances of winning. It's absolutely okay to do so, but...

To be fair - having two people try to last hit in the same lane is almost universally a bad idea. You end up trying to last hit early to beat eachother, and end up with less farm in total than if one of you had priority. And if you need to decide whether Magnus or Naga should have priority, it...

The point you fail to see is that it lowers the quality of those 99.9% of games where it is not needed, just to make those last 0.01% of games slightly less painful.

In a game where one team dominates, turnarounds are actually more likely 45 minutes into the game than they are 20 minutes into the game. Respawn times get so long, and hero power so high relative to creeps/towers, that ganking 2 heroes without buyback at that point will generally allow you to...

That problem disappears once you get out of the low bracket. People rarely rage quit in High/VHigh. Players in the low bracket don't mind getting low priority queue, since they probably don't play Dota that much anyway, and even if they do they can just make another account and play. Also...

Inventing and play testing new strategies and hero combinations takes a shitload of time. We're talking tens of hours of theorizing and hundreds of hours to work out the kinks, for something that might not even be that good. Most pros would rather (and probably rightly so) practice the most...

Correlation does not equal causation. It is not that Orchid is such a massive game changer, it's that Silencer farms slowly and is extremely prone to ganks while farming, so any game in which he can farm up a 4125 gold luxury DPS item is more than likely a game that he is already winning...

Yeah Pit Lord is one of those heroes that singlehandedly changed the metagame at one point in the past. They won't add him to CM before TI3.

As I haven't followed WC3 dota since Skywrath was added, where does he fit in? He seems too farm dependent to be a trilane support, too weak to BKB to carry, and too squishy to hard lane. In pubs I generally see him played as mid, since he has a pretty disgusting mid-game with farm, and his...

Generally, unless you have a surefire plan on how not to die to Perpetus, hug the southwest wall through City of Sarn. Won't encounter him that way. Most characters WILL die to him at the point you first encounter him.

Not only "scouts" but most light tanks from tier 4 onward have unfavourable match making. While that is fine for T-50 and other dedicated scouts, it's absolutely hellish on tanks like A-20 which are designed like fast mediums with worse armor.

Suarez is so hilariously stupid.

The game feels clunky on low levels because animations are performed standing still. At low levels, your animations are slow, so it feels clunky. After a while, you'll get much better at spotting mobs quickly and easily. You're right though, the visual design is focused more towards good...

If you're unable to import directly, just do the following: Export old character, save file as OLDCHAR, open in text editor. Start new game, export character NEWCHAR. Edit the NEWCHAR export file and give yourself whatever variables you had on OLDCHAR. Then import that character back.

If you have had them in your party and they left, you can ask travellers in inns where they are. If you never had them in your party, there's no easy way to track them down. Keep travelling the world. Many players like to start out doing a mapwide trade route to make some cash while searching...

While credit cards have handling fees around 3%, that has nothing to do with traditional currency: Those fees exist to finance the ~1 month free credit the consumer is getting. If any business is going to offer bitcoincredit cards, they will also have to recoup those financing costs, either...

Explain to me why I, as a consumer with zero interest in drugs and no need for hiding my money trail, would want to get a bit coin credit card and use that for making purchases? What value would it provide to me, to make up for the significant added exchange rate risk I take? This is a...

Story time: Companies are usually valued by either their accounting profits, the cash they generate, or the value of the assets they hold. In some cases, where the company has no assets and no profits in the short term, it might even get valued based on their revenues. Back before the Dotcom...

Good luck. I hope you're right, it's an interesting concept. I'm not putting my money on it, and I don't think any other non-professionals should either (other than minor bets for fun/gambling).

Except "real" currencies are generally the only accepted medium of exchange for goods and services in a given geographical area, and as such can't drop to zero value overnight barring complete economic collapse. If you want food in France, you need Euros. "Real" currencies can also be exchanged...

You guys realize you are buying and selling something that has no intrinsic value, right?

The totem still requires positioning that totem builds are not set up to deal with. Unless it deals absolutely ridiculous damage it won't beat the safety of Spork or Ice Spears.

Holy shit: http://fc3blooddragon.uk.ubi.com/

How about not posting 9GAG's stolen content. Let that shitty site rot.

Are you talking about the level 68+ well geared flicker striker that almost dies to a regular mob pack in a level 63 zone in his 2 minute video? Any top tier build with the same level and gear would kill those mobs just as fast with less risk.

I will buy this two times.

Yep. As far as I can tell: Corpses decay relatively quickly. Corpses with no loot just disappear, corpses with loot turn into lockboxes which stick around ~forever.

If it's local, what happens when your hard drive goes on the fritz and you can't find the flash drive?

There are two answers to this question. One is the pure pushing approach where you pick heroes that are excellent at pushing towers early and use that to brute force towers with up to 5 heroes. These are typically heroes with summons (to soak and deal damage), heals and mana restores (to keep...

Online tournaments - Pretty sure it would be legal. I know Admiral Bulldog played a few tournaments with the rangefinder console command (Shows a ring around your character at X range, can keybind it to toggle the range on the fly for various uses), possibly still does. LAN tournaments -...

Thinking about this got me to realize how my random gear drops affected the strategy I adopted in the game. I got a +50% crit item and an "aoe shock on overkill" item early on, which made head shots sexy. That lead me to using accurate weapons (Carbine, Pistol) and a stun Vigor (Crows). Then I...

Smart casting can be added with config alias binds, afaik. Google dota 2 smart cast.

If you are better than the people you are getting matched with, you will win more than you lose over time, and then get matched with better players. If you don't win more than you lose, you're no better than the people you are getting matched with. If you are matched below your level and...
