i am very interested. adv thanks.
Any news on a patch today coming or not?
Nothing so far and barely any staff on dev forum past hour or so
No, they are just doing bug fixes and no new heroes till after the international thingy is over.
Analogous to magic resistance and magic damage, armor reduces physical damage (from both attacks and physical damage spells). Conversely, reducing armor increases physical damage.
graphs n shit
I know, but even if it's just bug fixes, it should mean a patch today. Or maybe they are skipping test and going to main client directly now.
Kraken Shell is a flat reduction and Anchor Smash is a percentage reduction, afaik. The former doesn't seem like all that much, but in combination with Anchor (40%, spammable due to low manacost and cooldown), it's worth a nice little chunk of averted damage.
I think they would still go through test first. They can still add new features to spectator mode which may need "testing". I wouldn't mind seeing some more texture updates though. Ursa Warriors need to not look like their faces were melted off.
That explains it pretty much. Thanks.
His stats and growths are terrible. His HoN incarnation seems much better.
Everyone should watch this game to understand Real Serious Ricing.
Thirty-two minute game and 902 GPM? WTF.
That Helm probably played a fair role in that, sustainable health regen and farming more or less anywhere on the map. But yeah, damn. That's knowing your hero's animations and damage capacities to a t.

Make a file named like this: autoexec.cfg
in here:
C:\Program Files\Steam\SteamApps\common\dota 2 beta\dota\cfg
inside put this:
You can change the time as you like.

Chinese pro dota scene at one point was heavy farming, and they were proficient at it, so the practice of extreme farming became known as ricing.
Hope they fix some good bugs tonight. Some people are hoping that they release new heroes on test but not port to live. I think that's a bit of a stretch though.
Ah OK thanks... would both sides just agree to farm? Would think you could get ganked easily

Today may have been the most painful day in DotA2 so far. Jesus, just could not catch a break. I may have to stop playing public games for a day or so.
Also, wtf@ that VS game.

He's one of those heroes that really puzzles me when I compared the HoN and Dota versions. There was a period of time where Pharaoh was really popular (don't know about now), especially for tdM with swimdlemelonzz playing him. He was always such a dangerous hero in that game, but then Clockwerk just seems to suck dicks in Dota.

dat rycho
And it's pretty much all about the cast delay on his spells, meaning cogs are infinitely harder to use well, and hookshot so much harder to land... Let alone the fact hookshot gets blocked by allied creeps, thus doing NOTHING AT ALL (without a scepter) for 150 mana if you miss. And with his stats, 150 mana is a lot.
I still think that when properly used, all his skills can be amazing and the control/vision from rockets can be incredibly strong, but he does lack that certain something.

Wow..talk about multi-tasking....ganking/farming and stacking 2 camps all at the same time...

yeah rycho is just insane. bzm linked me a 1000+ gpm shadowfiend game awhile back. dude is hella nerdy; i'd like to just watch him play and see if he just goes game to game casually and does this naturally or completely spazzes out with planning and goes nerdshit everygame lol. just having the map awareness to pull off a BoT + midas with a low death count on any hero, let alone take those to well over 800+ gpm and 20+ kills before 30 mins in is insane.
He doesn't like trying very hard from what I've seen (probably why him and for similar reasons tarano are absent from the dota2 comp scene). And honestly, can you really call farming on venge 'nerdshit'?
DS or CW >.<?

CW, or Pharaoh in HoN I assume is what he is referring to.

A good number of the heroes that HoN ported from DotA play better.
Pharoah, Bubbles, Rampage.
Its almost a shame how underpicked Puck is in Dota2.

The sad thing is I really like clockwerk as a character, his voice, his looks. But his spells >.< I mean, theyre ok, but he is so item dependent. Granted everyone is, but he seems more so. He also isnt 'durable' enough considering his ult is basically getting right up close and personal.
Puck is pretty awesome.

yoshi is that you?
I love running a Lifestealer on the same team as a Clockwork, though. That initiation can be brutal, especially if you cog a vulnerable support hero.
The talk of buffs is interesting, however. Perhaps roll the Aghanim's Scepter upgrade into the unupgraded ultimate, and make the stun land on all units in a small AoE? (say 300 or so).

Just went axe with a good team. Enemy just rage quit cept for one husker. which leads me to the point. An axe (you) is only as sharp as its owner (team). Honestly I can kill all I want , but without a proper team, I was useless. I dunno just puttin it out there. I ve lost more axe games than won.
Try disabling it from your mouse panel.
So I got a second one of these today. Here's the question: Is there anything I could trade it for, or should I just delete it in attempt for a Mythical item. One particular thing I really want is the Pudge hook, but that's mythical. I guess if you want to look through my inventory, maybe there's a couple of things I could trade with this for the Pudge hook.

Just go carry axe for giggles. Get mjjol and daed! Kill all the things. I tend to something like that if the game is just a clusterfuck.
I tried to play as a legit support just before with ES. Interesting experience to say the least. I was trying to keep up with warding but since I was getting no last hits getting something like blink dagger proved to be impossible until near the end of the game. I roamed a little bit and did some of the worst fissure i've done in ages haha. Tried to stay back so the 400 carries we had on our team were able to get the XP from creeps etc.
I actually didn't mind it. I will have to keep reading the warding guide once a week to slowly remember all the positions where I should be potentially throwing down wards.
