It might end up being even more entertaining than armlet toggling chases though! Through in armlet and you'll have some blink/slam level plays.

Is there anywhere I can find some decent coaching? I feel as though I've hit a wall when it comes to my play and feel like an overhaul would help.
I can coach if you want. I play at 10 PM Central time. Just add me on Steam (same name) and ask for a learning game.
Dendi shackles too good.
He was going crazy on Steam chat.
haha

DOTA2 must know I'm a noob, every time I load it up it goes straight to the tutorial. D:
But if you don't use the active, SK works exactly the same. If anything, it makes you able to say "Take that puny Silencer!", and smite him with you low mana spell.

Love the patch. Earth Spirit sounds crazy fun to play, like a mix between Tuskar and Timbersaw.
Was hoping to some more changes to make Axe more appealing to the pro scene...but I really like the heroes Icefrog chose to make big changes to. Necro Aghanims is crazy now!!

Loving all the changes. In particular:
Omni is just broken if he can farm that scepter. He was already a problem to right-click dependent teams, but now? holy shit. I suppose he's going to be the autopick counter to Troll teams.
Necro ult buff = :O
Silencer's agh's buff = :O
BKB & Bottle crow nerfsp = ouch.
ET's passive buff = :O
Naga buff = :O
Witch Doctor Maledict cast range buff = :O now easier to land one of the strongest spells in the game? yikes.
Medusa ult buff (the bonus damage) = :O she's now viable in early game team fights and she's gonna be broken if a match lasts longer than 35 minutes. That will have to be nerfed.
PL damage nerf was expected and looks fine, as is Gyro's flack nerf. Passive buff for Drow :3

I'm not feeling his damage being removed from his passive.
They could have made it less, but removing it completely makes him weaker. Not sure if making Huskar weaker was the goal, but it feels like the result. Sure, he's not as susceptible to being nuked down after leaping now, but that improvement is offset heavily by the fact that he's not actually gaining damage to go with his aps. I guess we'll see, but that's why they took him out of CM for now.
it should, yes.
I think it would be, since Dragon 3's slow is AoE.
I think the Huskar remake makes him actually viable in competitive games, but makes him far less pubstompy. I could see people getting Maelstrom on him now, and have those sick lightning procs.

DK is gonna be a better Venomancer than Venomancer.
I just giggle thinking about that change.
Still we're not sure if it caries over to the frost dragon yet are we? AoE + Slow + DoT would absolutely WRECK everything.

Well...it doesn't have the slowing effect that Veno has, but the dot is better, yes.
And it doesn't carry over to the 3rd dragon form.

It means no more raging when you use a scythe on a enemy and someone else nukes it to get the kill and you don't regain the mana.
dave is ok
aztek is ok
Refresher/Aghs Necro new meta

Wonder how to build him now, burning spears buff looks deceptively good, so mayhap lifesteal is out, massive tank building is in? Or maybe its better to just play him drow style, using burning spears when you're not being focused.

I've been really confused for a few pages until I noticed you were all talking about Dota 1 lol
If you let Silencer farm an Agh and Refresher you've probably been AFK at base awhile anyway.
dave is ok
aztek is ok
These same changes will be live in Dota 2 this week

Silencer's problem remains that he wants farm but he's not reliable enough a carry to be played position 1, there are usually other heroes picked that need/want Mid more, and he's a terrible offlaner.
But Global Silence just so good.
