Where's the new av archie?
I mean when he is pushing. How would you actually itemize him to be a pusher that isn't just giving him some HP (An aghanim's seems to fix that well enough).
Had to more or less play him as a simi-support though last game. Buy the Courier, realize no one was warding so ward, upgrade the Courier. Also tons of TP scrolls, but that goes with pushing. Was really annoying to have to go back and buy the Courier when nether Lich nor Omniknight did it, I was saving that money for an early bottle (Which I still got due to first blooding the worlds worst Sniper)

Aghanims, Linkens, Sheep, use your AoE nuke to farm pretty easy.
You don't count Sebulon, I already have your suggested items downloaded. I want ideas an options.
But on a serious note, why Linkens? The spell block doesn't seem like it would be too useful. Is it just for the stats? Do you feel the the spell block worth getting Linkens over say Bloodstone?

You won't be interrupted when your channelling your ult, and the ultimate orb gives you stats.
Not to mention mana regen on the perseverance.
I still think I would be better off with a Blood Stone most games (More HP, Mana, and Regin then Linkens, but no Agi or Int for Armor and Damage), but its not like it is hard to switch between the two mid build. Grabbing a Linkens if they aren't to high on targeted stuns. Would be pointless against a sniper or clockwork though, who both have a high chance of ministun.
I'll just have to give both a shot, and then likely be proven wrong.

unless you're a very aggressive, roaming player on an aggressive, roaming hero with a team that allows for such play, bloodstone is generally not worth getting. you're really underestimating how good the spell block is; it blocks targeted spells and even aoe spells where the caster foolishly clicked directly on you. bloodstone is basically a stats item alone.
I nearly spit out my drink at the beginning of this match.

Actually, I expected this one.
everyone still too salty
Okay, can someone explain Milkman's sorcery with doing Roshan at level 1 with Ursa and Skeleton King? I had no idea this was possible when it happened. I thought only Ursa could do it at level 3. What items did they get? Did they use any special tactics when actually fighting him?
Skeleton King can give people 15% life steal at level 1. Combined with Ursas Fury Passive.
Probably take Quelling Blade, Shield for both. Thats my guess.

You need to learn what gives away early Rosh attempts, stuff like this and things like Sylla + Lich.

There is currently one "official" map, but more might be added later. At the very least, modders will create new maps when the SDK comes out.
Its one map in the same way chess has one board.
With your new avatar I think your tag should be "second-rate Kapura"
Also, people will make maps. But no one will play them (stupid dota community).
The only thing will be if people start making more like custom mod maps. Like all the other tower defence type games that were in warcraft3. That would be cool.
HoN has 4 maps, but the only other map that is fun is Grimm's Crossing, which is a faster 3v3 arena style map.
Pudge Wars?

Yeah, they had WhiteRa on their team.
Don't forget midwars ;o
That's not a custom alternative map, just a mode within dota that no one played cause it's ass.
yep.
Okay sorry for bringing it up, geez
Thats what I was suggesting. Not just other maps for playing the standard dota formula. Stuff that mixes the game up a lot is what people will play. Ie. Pudge wars, or more variations on stuff.
Id love to see some kind of one sided game mode. Like attack/defend stuff. The possibilities for stuff using the dota2 base, I think could be really exciting. I mean look at what Dominion did, that kind of stuff.
<3, I will admit though that Myrmidon Only Mid was fun.
I'd love to see a Dominion-esque game using the Dota heroes, but it'd take a lot of effort on the part of whoever's creating it, cause skill cooldowns / abilities would have to be lowered and changed to fit it.
