Nope. I get Tranqs and then later get Travels for global presence.
I've seen NoTail get both Treads and Travels though.
Pleasant experience in solo queue tonight. What looked like a disaster of all random ended up with a win. My team was Tide, Beast Master, Kotl, Storm Spirit, and Rubick vs. Clockwerk, Nyx, Chaos, Huskar, Medusa. Luckily my team mates all understood English and how to play Dota, we didn't squander a huge lead by needless farming instead of pushing or giving up free Rosh kills. Sometimes Dota is a wonderful game.
At what point do you start thinking about soloing rosh? Isn't that a pretty big strength of his?
Its a minor nerf. And its pretty clear dark seer is a pet hero of icefrog's like NP that he is reluctant to overnerf by accident.
Because you gank the shit out of him or pick a mid that either burst him or go take the rune and wreck the side lanes while he plonks away at creeps mid. Its like having Invoker mid.
But if you are playing pubs, this doesnt matter.

DS is fine guys, i'd rather other heroes be buffed to ds level than ds being nerfed to a shittier level.

Whenever I see the other team picking Shadow Fiend I automatically pick Bane and get Enfeeble at Lvl 1.

Just played a game where the Dire-side had an Axe that kept trying to do the creep wave intercept between the tier 1 and 2 towers. He tried it top lane, got ganked, then switched bottom lane, got ganked again. Now after trying and failing twice you would think he'd stop, but he kept coming bot lane, kept doing the intercept, and kept getting ganked. Axe threw the Dire's game under the bus. He ended the game with his deaths being roughly half of our team score. His final items were a vanguard, quelling blade, power treads, a vitality booster, a stout shield and a stout shield. I guess he was going for a double Vanguard but couldn't afford the second ring of health. I don't even understand.
Power went out, but I had to reconnect to the game. Someone else disconected and I got the stream back up and running.

When LGD picked Wisp a few days ago vs iG, their Wisp got Level 6 at 6 minutes, just by pulling. There wasn't anyone on the lane though, so the supports didn't need to spend time harassing anyone out of lane. Still really good.
the trick is to have your dad bring dinner to you, and to be listening to Enya.
Of course if you buff timber chain it would be very good. I don't think it would be OP though because of the need for tree's and to be in the right place at the right time. The latter of which is only as good as your map awareness and that of your opponents.
I feel like his recent buffs are only the first set of a few more he will receive in future. He needs a few refinements is all.
This is what I'd like to see but maybe having a mini-stun would be a bit much on reflection as you would just need a couple if TC's, Whirling and Chakram to burst someone down.
Mind blown. If Valve added this he would definitely fit into the current deathball meta. Very clockwerkish.
Oh man Hylian and I played this game an hour ago and I could not stop laughing.
You could watch the replay in the time it takes to queue!

Oh yeah, I gotta watch that real quick. Forgot about that!
Edit: Just watched it, that shit was hilarious. Lina was top for five seconds and Leshrac completely zoned her out of lane, then she went bot to join in on the death party.
Also, playing Nyx against Sniper is fun as hell. So many times I was using Spiked Carapace on Assassinate, especially when if it actually hit me, I would have been dead. I got the enemy Tidehunter to blow his Ravage just for me, including one time when I caught him alone, I still killed him because he was in Dagon range by the time the stun was up.

So I've been playing games against bots on and off for a little while to try and learn the basics. What do you think would be a good next step? I'm a bit hesitant to just jump straight into solo matchmaking as I'm sure I'm going to get annihilated for a while and I don't want to ruin games for other people. :-/
Your first few games will be matched against players who are also brand new. You probably wont ruin games.

You'll get paired with other people that don't know what they are doing. You could possibly pair up with someone more experienced and play coop matches against harder bots, but trying things against bots first is already more than many players do.
EDIT: And never forget, no matter how good you are, you will always ruin games for assholes and get yelled at. That is the way of DOTA.
Just jump in and play, you'll be playing with people just as bad.
The beauty of almost any matchmaking system ever is that it's trying its best to match you with people of your/their similar skill level.

I just had an unreal match... I couldn't believe how bad I did.
I was Crystal Maiden via single draft, and I went 0/13! I'm not sure if it was entirely my fault, but it felt as though I couldn't accomplish a single thing the entire match.
Granted I'm pretty new to the game, with 17 wins or so, but I have never played a game like that one. Even my earliest games where I had no idea what I was doing were better.
Edit: Here's a question... what's the most noob friendly game mode?

All Pick, just because you don't know all the heroes.
Except when people create new accounts to stomp newcomers.

CM is a pretty terrible support, if not the worst, in her current state so don't blame yourself. Not having double digit deaths with her is rare. She offers virtually nothing after 5 minutes into the game.
crystal maiden is best carry
but really, i think she's far from the worst, she's just squishy as fuck is all, her ult is pretty beast if you can get it off without getting nuked first.

I like to do it safely when I have 5 meepo's and vlads at least.

I went ring of basilius into tranquil boots and then after I got aghs, disassembled my tranq boots to make vlads, then got boots of travel. Makes it really safe because you're so fast and you can move 1 meepo away, tp out, and poof him back. And just push anywhere you want.

My experience with CM has always been the opposite. She dies a lot but that is 100% your fault and bad positioning. Her root is so strong that when used correctly should guarantee a kill.

Welcome to MOBAs!
I've also seen carry CM with BKB and ulting like mad. This is the closest I've come to doing that. But her speed does hurt her a lot. She is supposedly an excellent roamer, but she moves at the speed of a crippled snail.
Also Cyborgmatt looks like he could be Gabe Newell's son.

I just had one of the most enjoyable games of Dota I've ever played. I was BH and throughout the entire game there were constant ganks and scuffles and teamfighting and the game moved at a constant very fast pace. It was very fun (I went 21/4/4 so that might have helped out a bit too).

Bah he missed 3 pulls and he still recovers.
Had a game the other day where both teams kept complimenting each other. I killed Lesh and he typed: WP Lion
Was scary.....

also: just had one of those matches where an opponent is talking trash all game, and then gets stomped hard.
feels good.
