Anyone want all my player cards for a few items?
Doesn't seem to weird, you go your general use ward spots, defensive spots, offensive spots, and spots to put it if they are actively dewarding.
Its where the spectators sit.
And yeah, it is really just two ponds.
what
i asked about dota warding
wtf, are you
insane
p.s. that ward map is out dated or i think its just laning faze
I didn't make this, but this is pretty useful:

Whoa wait, this isn't the ward map, hold on lemme upload that one too.
Edit: Here's the ward map, although it's not quite as big and a little bit hard to see:

Those blue and white boots are arcane boots (or mana boots). You make them by buying boots of speed (the basic brown boots) and then buying 1 energy booster.
What the guide wanted you to do was to build those first so you would have a ready source of mana, then start gathering the other parts for a Bloodstone. Except the energy booster. That would be a round blue thing like the round pink thing in your inventory. Once you have all of the parts except the energy booster you can then right-click on your mana boots and choose the disassemble option. That would turn the boots into 2 parts on the ground in front of you, the boots and the energy booster. Pick up the energy booster to finish the blood stone then pick up the boots (now back to being basic brown boots) and start working towards the recipe to change the brown boots into boots of travel.
Sure!

Alright, I'm really starting to enjoy these compendium matches. Barring that first set that was... pretty one-sided, at least for pubs, these last couple have been rather entertaining. It's nice knowing you're going to get a decent team composition even if you're just solo queuing.
Thought the Radiant would be more favoured but all my games so far have gone to the Dire. This last game got me on Clock and even though I bumbled about having no idea what I was doing, ended up having a lot of fun with him. So good for disrupting team positions in fights and infuriating your enemies.

All pick? Single draft/Random is where its at.

Well after TI3 proper, they'll certainly have enough games to fill the roster for a good while.
I queued for a compendium match once, tabbed out and forgot about it, 28 minutes later was still in the queue.
Never played a compendium match, doubt I ever will.
There's absolutely no way on earth I would have gotten that from the guide. Thanks.
Thanks for the cards! I'm not sure what I'm going to do with these smeevil treats...
I don't know if it was the case but the DMX guides suck and are very high in the guide menu. A good guide will have written tooltips on each item to explain you why you should get that.

Biggest lie told in this thread?
What? The fact that he's in very high?

The only DMX guide I use is for Ogremagi. Aren't these guide auto-rated by bots that't why it's rated so high?
Next time, hover over your items (even in the shop menu) and skills.
Good guides will have tips and explanations added below the popup, so you know why you are doing something.
But no stun
that's why u buy basher
But no stun
That's because you need Faceless Void to be your support/teamfight hero in the 4 position, because that Chronosphere is an AoE disable.
I just had a game where our Silence abandoned after 10 minutes and we won 4v5 at 50 mins, with their Abbadon trying to back door us
DotA is either epic or 100% shit
There is no middle ground

One interesting interaction I found out the other day is that Warlock golem vs. Enchantress with untouchable pretty much can't attack. Slower than molasses.
Tiny trying to attack Enchantress is the same.
But Tiny just throws that bitch over the horizon
How do you guys recommend building Lone Druid? The guides out there seem all over the place. The one I use in game has me building Tranqs, wand on Druid and Phase boots, Orb of Venom, and Stout shield on the Spirit Bear early. Then Maelstrom and AC for the bear as the first two big items, basher after that.
So here are my questions:
Is that a decent way to build him? Should I be getting anything on Druid after tranqs and wand? Maybe a cloak or something.
When is it a good idea to go for a Radiance on the bear?
Are items like RoB or Vlads good on Druid? I've seen a couple guides recommend those.
And if I do end up building AC, does it go on the bear, or on druid? I've been using it on the bear, but I could see how that could be a bad thing if you die after recently summoning the bear.
