it's directly to the main client, so probably hats and stuff (if even)

I wonder if they'll retire the test client and only pull it out for hero updates. Really, that's all it's needed for these days.

I don't see the need either, right now there is a tournament mode for lobbies but it's always the same as the normal one isn't it? Why not just test heroes in the main client like normal and let pro games use the tournament settings without the new hero/changes. No need for 2 clients that way.

Anybody else ever do that thing, where you're trying to run down and to the left, but then you accidentally click the top right corner of the minimap and turn around right into them?

Nope, never had this be an issue; though I've heard others complain about it.

All the time. Someone posted some autoexec lines a while back that put a delay on the minimap click, but I always forget to put them in

I have been playing Puck quite a bit and have been doing decently. Current win-loss is 8-6 and I have been getting the hang of managing all his skills and dagger and whatever else I buy.

However, I find that while I have a lot of influence in the outcome of fights in early to mid game, my late game impact drops off a cliff very quickly. 3 seconds of silence is too little in late game especially when I need to put myself in very dangerous positions to get it off. And while I tend to cast Dream Coil to catch a big group early in fights, would it be better to cast it late in general when people are more likely to need to retreat?

Puck is squishy throughout but even more so in late game when everyone hits hard. Am I doing something wrong or should Puck also have a good amount of influence in late game?

I typically go, in order, Null Treads Eul Dagger and Scythe or Null Treads Eul Dagger and Dagon.

Played Bane for the first time.
Naga got the DD rune top at the start of the game and was wandering down to gank mid. I helped intercept then she tried to hide in some trees. BrainSap and auto attacks were enough to buy time for mid, then I let mid get last hit.

Oh man it feels so good.

Anti-Mage's Blink doesn't even make sense. He hates magic but its totally teleportation. It even leaves blue sparks behind.

He kills magic to make it happen, he doesn't use magic.

Blink isn't magic, it's Ki energy usage. Link a Monk or using Hadouken or Instant Transmission Goku style.

It's pure skill and years of perfecting the technique.

Also just throwing this out there: what's your favourite BM to use on the other team?

"I hope you step on a Lego" is always a good one.

dota_minimap_misclick_time "0.X"

Put in a value for X, your cursor will have to hover over the minimap for X seconds until your clicks count. It helps with that, although it still happens to me from time to time.

That sounds like a life saver, how do I set this up?

Someone has to come up with a Donger-style emote for EE whenever he fucks up.

In-game peak is about to hit half a million (483,835). Despite the game having no sizable updates post-International, it sure is getting more and more players! I hope there's a big update this week
who am i kidding, we'll hit half a million players before we get a new hero

Actually it hit half a million 3 weeks ago or so. The highest it's been so far is roughly 541,000.
I should mention that if you want peak times you should look at 3:00 pm GMT on Saturdays. That is roughly when the highest numbers appear. I don't know what time that is for you Americans etc though.

Is it normal for randoms to friend you and want to rob you via trade/ are offended by any offers even remotely reasonable. Christ. I guess it's just perusing random inventories in chat channels?

Some people do have backpack scanners...

Just make your profile/inventory private or to friends only.

Guys let's talk Elder Titan
I absolutely love to play him. Natural Order is fucking awesome debuff as hell.
But god damn, I don't know how to build him correctly. I always get a Soul Ring first, but I feel I'm always way to squishy during all the phases of the game. I feel I need to build Strength items, but the best items to get for him are utilities and Intel.

So, tips?
