60% seems low for adblock, at least for the people I know.
Websites have funny little images to ask you to turn off adblock, but I don't think I've ever heard a streamer ask you to whitelist them.

It's expensive, naga sleep has gigantic range already, and if you're playing support then it's better to just tank up with cheap items like treads / pms / wand / urn / vit booster
So the question I have about steam revenue is, does the twitch app for IOS ever show ads? I can't remember the last time it happened.
Sleep has the about the same range as blink. I'd imagine that if you really need a boost you can get it from a support force staff or some other spell like Cent Ult or DS Surge.

Bts needs to move what I'm assuming is their stream monitor so that it's near the camera so they don't look totally uninterested and staring into space.

Holy shit
why would you cross the river when there's four of them very clearly visible on the minimap?
What could possible make someone think that's a good idea?

You'd rather them cross the river when they don't see anyone on the map?

On a semi-related note, how do you counter Puck besides "hope they suck"?
Silence him?
Nightstalker. Can't avoid any of his spells.

Dota players should stop being Disney princesses first

Hmm never had that happen against me. I would imagine it's pretty hard and if you mess up you just wasted a spell and he can go to town anyway.

OD is very annoying when you play Puck. He can basically just keep on stealing your int until you have zero mana and then a Puck isnt worth much.
I have an idea for the best/worst hero, Merlot the Drunken Wizard. First, fanfiction.
Back when he was known as the Echo Magus, Merlot attempted to challenge Rubick. He believed he was undefeatable by any mage, with his talent to reflect any spell back at its caster, and would not sit while idle while anther claimed the title of 'Grand Magus'. The fight was going in his favor, until something he didn't expect happened. Rubick was able to mimic his ability to reflect. A shot he fired off soon began to bounce between the two of them, and then anther, and anther, until the room was alight with the magics. All he had to do was outlast Rubick to finish him off once and for all, but try as he might that time never came, and eventually conceded defeat. A broken man, he renounced his title and sought to simply drown away his sorrows for the rest of his tired days. And he would of had his way too, if not dragged to this bloodly battle by some barkeeps's ill-mannered 'enforcer'.
Now, the OP spells.
Q: Cacophonic Beam. Merlot fires a set of powerful and narrow piercing beams in the direction his enemies are. The spell has a 100 degree cone of variation from where it was aimed for the direction it will go, and is 25 units wide. The spell's damage is reduced for each target the beam passes though. Units will take less damage for beam they get hit by from a single cast
350 Damage (250/150/50 for each successive beam hit in one cast)
1/2/3/4 Beams, (.25 seconds apart, chaneling, will stop shooting if stunned)
250 Mana
6 Second Cooldown
W: Resonance: Merlot Teleports a random distance in the direction he choices, from 100 to 1700 units, damaging any unit he lands on
100 Mana
20/15/10/5 second Cooldown
100/150/200/250 damage in 300 AoE
E: Echo Shield: If proced, Merlot reflects a spell back at his enemy.
Targeted projectiles will fly back to the person who casts them. Untargeted projectiles will have the effect instantly applied to caster. Instant abilities will be casted on caster. AoE Abilities will reflect the damage/effect of the tick that procs the shield. Hook will pull Pudge to him. Works on items.
10%/15%/20%/25% Proc chance
4/3/2/1 second cooldown
R: Resound: Merlot is able to fully regain his former composure for a brief period. Cacophonic Beam will go in the direction he points, Resonance will teleport him to where he clicks, Echo Shield will have a 100% proc chance.
(If Rubick steals this, he will obtain Echo Shield while the spell is active)
7/11/15 second duration
120 second cooldown (With Scepter, 60)

I would not be upset if Dug was a courier as long as he didn't die.
I would play the fuck out of this

Well the numbers for the ult would need to be tuned down, but overall the concept of a hero who's otherwise imba spells are kind of crap unless using his ult is pretty cool.

Would very much like to see this expanded upon. It's a nice concept but he sounds absolutely terrible pre-6 (unless he has good stats or something)
