Sort of. Readhttp://www.purgegamers.com/welcome-to-dota-you-suck, it goes through these concepts in more detail. Watch some guides on laning if you want more information. There's more guides here:http://www.reddit.com/r/DotA2/commen...uide_to_dota2/ The basics are simply: - Last hit...

You can. It's personal preference, I like it on for some niche functionality, but it's not a big deal. Even with auto attack off you will want to move around constantly though, to make yourself less predictable and harder to kill. Added a bit to my above post as well.

That's how you play Dota. At least for the first 5-10 minutes of the game. The laning phase is mostly about: - getting last hits on creeps (and denies on your own) - harassing opponent - not getting harassed/killed - maintaining the creep line (where creeps meet) at the optimal spot The...

Keep in mind that Meepo has the fastest theoretical farming speed of any hero from a very early stage. In N0tail's last 4 games played with Meepo he averages 660GPM. That's in pubs, so you can count on some added feeding cash, but also less ideal farming conditions. The full heart is also...

I'm not so sure that is true anymore with the scepter change. A meepo with scepter and heart is now very tanky, making him much less susceptible to burst. 1-2 nukers can no longer nuke him down quick, and getting all 5 people to focus on one meepo quickly is difficult in a team fight. Even if...

Lets hope that never happens. Full model changes only hurt the artistic impression of the game, as well as making the learning curve that much steeper. DotA feeling "clunkier" is due to slower turn rates and longer animations, and it's a very conscious design decision. Movement errors are...

Read through your last 10 posts in this thread again and tell us you're not a whining baby. I haven't played on the FOH MC server in 2 years, and I'm half tempted to log in just to train some pigmen to your portal.

Sounds like a decent enough plan to me. PL is worthless at defending pushes until he gets his Radiance, at which point he suddenly becomes very good at it. Having him push lanes hoping to finish the Rad before you can take too many rax sounds like a decent plan. Medusa could have done it...

Anecdotally, we just remember a few incidents:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Howard_Webb#Criticisms Statistically, Liverpool win only 30% of their matches when Webb refs. That doesn't imply causation, but it sure doesn't make LFC fans like him more. As far as foul statistics, there's no...

How do I navigate back to a google search when I've started the game and finished one question? Pressing back only gets me back here, and entering anything into the address bar or browser search field takes me away from the contest page.

Also, Howard Webb will ref MUFC - LFC again. Joy. That always ends well.

Suarez is a fucking cunt and I would loathe him more than any Premiership player if he played for any other team. He dives all the time, makes nasty tackles, and has no qualms about cheating to win. But dear god, when he does what he does best, it's a beauty to watch. I saw a pundit say...

Yep, the fact that timing entry and exit has a huge influence on your returns is precisely the reason 99% of investors should avoid it. The effect on your future wealth is too big, and the learning experience is limited. The vast majority of market movements are caused by events that are unknown...

If you pick passive at level 2 you have a 12% chance per hit to spawn an illusion that lasts 20 seconds, and an attack speed of ~0.75 attacks/second. You'll spend ~10 seconds running to the safe medium camp from a pushed lane before boots, so anything but a fresh illusion will be almost dead by...

Lance / Doppel / Lance seems like the nobrainer choice for the first 3 levels. A single level of the passive won't help you nearly as much as the early escape of Doppelwalk. Lance is required to maintain any sort of offensive threat. I can see picking up the passive at level 4 though. Not so...

I'm not saying the markets are efficient. There is quite a bit of inefficiency. However, they incorporate a level of information that is far above your Average Joe. Unless you know something most people don't, don't try to time your trades. "I don't think the assholes in DC can agree" is not...

1. What Lyrical said. 2. You're cherry picking periods. I could do that too. Look, 352% return (16.3% annually) ex dividends from 24/3/1990 to 24/3/2000! 3. You're ignoring dividends. People make that mistake all the time when trying to argue for the "death of equities" or the superiority of...

Yes, if he maxes spirit lance first. Not if he maxes dopplewalk first, then you just have a weak lane with minimal kill potential and weak harass (assuming opponents can dodge illuminate). That was Zaphid's point.

The market has priced in a reasonable risk of the cliff negotiations failing. Unless you think you know something other people don't, hold your horses. Weight down a bit if you want, but don't go all cash. Like Eomer said, market timing is not a good investment strategy (for 99% of us).

Sacking a manager after 10 games. Stay classy, Blackburn.

Jason Brody. With money, I could hire guards which aren't complete fucktards, and would probably be fine. Without money, I'm fucked. Although I'd really like to consider Vaas the main character of that game, in which case I am severely fucked.

The pistol: Good, but the only reason to use a pistol is to headshot people from stealth, and the regular weapon does that just as well. The SMG: Good, but I never used an SMG due to not seeing a niche for it, but there may be one. The shotgun: Worse than SPAS. The assault rifle: Lower damage...

They are overall upgrades, but the inability to customize them makes most of them no more useful than the base weapon. It's certainly nothing that is needed to beat the game. If you're collecting everything you can unlock them earlier on relative to the story, but you can just advance the...

I only tried one game. Pretty gay that everyone who grinded/bought Greevils have a massive advantage over me, otherwise it seemed fun. More focus on team fights, less focus on awkward mechanics than Diretide. Is there any difference between the winner chest and the loser chest?

Just finished this. Third night this week I'm up at 2am+ with work in the morning due to the game. Fucking loved it. Vaas is one of my favourite video game villains of all time, up there with Kefka and GLADOS. Tip for anyone trying it: Screw the collectibles / side quests unless you find...

What the fuck does a 35% discount on an undefined amount even mean? Blackpool could just as easily say "we value him at 9m!" and have LFC pay 6m. I still think this is a dumb move. There are limits to how much a kid can grow as a player in a year in the Championship.

Without knowing specifics (and option agreements can vary quite a lot, especially across jurisdictions), this is how it probably works: [Note: I'm assuming tax laws are similar to Norway here. They may differ.] 1. You currently have 200 unvested options in your company's stock, which are...

Wait, your brokerages don't send you a receipt for each trade? I do all my trading in-house to avoid commissions, but I get a detailed receipt of each trade by e-mail and can have back office print a periodical summary no problem. I assume our regular customers get the same service, but I guess...

Thanks for everything, Req.

Not to mention that Super Meat Boy and some other games released since the revival of Indie gaming were fantastic examples of how unorthodox game difficulty can be given mass appeal by designing around it. By making respawns super quick, making levels short, making controls super tight and...

So TL debuts with TL sponsoring a team can only be good for broader Dota attention.

I imagine the problem with that line of thinking in low income jobs is that employees won"t accept going below x dollars per hour fixed. Thus you can make them share the upside, but not the downside. That increases your average wage cost.

Weren"t you cash strapped just a page ago? How do you work that ad budget and equipment/staff investment?

It"s gotten worse, and will continue to get worse. The reason is that it"s nearly impossible to get paid properly for research alone. - Digital distribution and the increased speed of information means that it"s almost impossible to restrict information flow to reach only your clients. All...

Grats, you hit on your dice rolls! If you"re not trolling: Mutual funds and ETFs provide diversification cheaper than small time investors can otherwise obtain it, and some degree of management (at the very least some rebalancing). Just "researching companies and tracking their monies"...

So then you"ll agree that the statement "So really, you"re trading at 15x book" makes no sense? You need to find some better people to discuss finance with if they"re confusing retained earnings and injected capital, though. Lets hope these guys aren"t in your CFA class.

In what world does this make sense? You don"t discount majority shareholders when calculating book equity. How is it "imaginary"? I admit I don"t know the first thing about the company in question, just calling you out on that statement.
