Why is Venomancer the best support.
he's not the best support but his gale is arguably the best lvl1 spell

Question: Quas/Wex/Exort give stats even if the orbs aren't used (say I have 3 Quas orbs out, but none of the others), or do they give them only when out?

They give the stats always but the other bonuses (damage/regen/attackand move speed) only for which orbs are active.

I'm really happy for mouz although I'm gonna be mad thinking about what could they have done with proper bootcamping. Buying their pennant and Na'Vi's .

Wow...love brewmaster..He transitions nicely from early mid ganker to late game initiator..It's pretty awesome as long as you can pop your ulti off (yeah I have old man reflexes)....I embarassed to say that I was intimidated to play him because of the micro but it's not that bad.
Wow. Someone tell me please if this is a bug.
I just played as Leshrac and had a Bloodstone with 20 charges. I got killed and was INSTANTLY back at the fountain.
After that the Bloodstone only had 13 charges left. But the tooltip doesn't say anything about revival.

But when you're 28 minutes into a game the respawn time isn't 4 seconds.
Oh! Now I see. What an incredible item.

He has one of my highest win rates. I'm not the best an microing the split, but you don't need to be super good at that to get kills with the ulti. The fire panda doesn't do anything but damage, and the most important thing is to make sure that you land the stun with the earth panda. The cyclone lasts a bit long for my taste, so I don't think it's worth using most of the time unless you really need to take out a dangerous hero at the start of a fight. Purge is more situational - it only really makes a difference if there's a super dangerous buff or debuff out there, and the invis just seems kind of useless most of the time, based on how you'll typically be playing him
Use dispel on the Storm unit to end cyclone when you want them to come down.

I wrote about this in the wrong thread.

That makes so much more sense :O
And Heavy, you're rich! (Or will just happen to have a pimped out courier for the rest of your Dota 2 days.) Seriously, those things are worth like $200+ right now. More for the unique tournament drop ones - especially for fan favorite players/teams in epic moments. Those approach priceless.
Where can you see how much these couriers are worth?
Yes but you can switch them on the fly. You get a message saying it may take a few minutes to actually switch.
Noticed the same thing after the first sets, so I tried some stuff and it seems like the best way to get the game to count is to enter the game with another pennant (or maybe without one) and then switch to the correct one when you are inside the game.
Yes
Harsh mechanics
30-60 minute games where a few mistakes can ruin everything
Hostile community

Just based on what people are asking/offering in terms of keys in /r/dota2trade and elsewhere.
Said harsh mechanics with a side dish of DunningKruger effect.

Committing to a 50-60 minute game where you expect your team mates to have the same attitude/goals in the game.

The game creates a hostile environment. Every time you die the other team benefits in gold and XP. If you die more than a couple times near the beginning of the game the team will hate you for the entire rest of the game. TBH the beginning really does set the stage for how hostile the team will ultimately end up being.

One bad teammate can fuck it up for the entire team, like Counter Strike.
Games last a long time. There are five people on each team. Every mistake that any player makes gives an advantage to the other team. The greater the advantage the other team has, the more difficult it is to win. By extension, it's possible to play a game of Dota 2 perfectly and lose because of your teammates, and many people would prefer to believe that it's never their fault they lost.
Since a percentage of the player base is going to think that they are superior specimens who deserve to win all the time, they will mercilessly harass teammates who they perceive to be ruining their chances at victory over the course of 30+ minutes.
