Depends on the situation. Do you need levels or do you need items?

Generally you want to midas the big creeps as long as levels are important to get (before 16 I would say on most heroes) because of the big bonus XP. Overall, it's better to use your Midas quickly than to spend 45 seconds running around looking for a big creep to eat. (Someone did the math once and that's the part I remember from that)

It depends on whether you need gold or levels. I would say early game probably go for big creeps if you can - but the main thing is to use it asap every time it's up. edit: what he said^ After the early game, the difference isn't substantial enough to worry about imo.

Got it. I know I need to use it as soon as it's off cooldown, but if I'm doing laps in the jungle I can usually manage my route in advance, so I arrive at any camp I want when midas is available.

Thanks for the advice!

Have they said if they're doing tiebreakers to determine who is #2?

Nope. Dk will choose their opponents and the other 2 will fight it out

 

[mastershake]

Have they said if they're doing tiebreakers to determine who is #2?

No tiebreakers. (thank God)

Going to let DK choose their opponent being as they finished as the clear #1, then the other two teams play each other.

because her skills are awful, with the exception of blink

No, her skills are fine in and of themselves. They do an insane amount of damage.

The problem is that all her abilities are close range, and she is squishy as fuck.

Storm Spirit has the same issue, though he is a lot more elusive once he hits 6, and he has a disable.

V1lat says DK chose Fnatic, so its DK vs Fnatic and VG vs NaVi

Wait why did dk get to choose?

Really? Interesting that DK would choose the only team they lost to.

Wait why did dk get to choose?

It was a rule beforehand that the #1 seed got to pick their opponents from the #3/4 seeds.

 

[KingKong]

Wait why did dk get to choose?

- Top 4 teams advance into WB, bottom 2 into LB
- Team that finishes 1st chooses its opponent from the teams that finished 3rd and 4th

I guess they let them choose from 2-4 instead of playing extra games to get the second seed

 

[Omotesando]

Wait why did dk get to choose?

Dota Kings.

well, they do an "insane" amount of damage but nothing on top of that, and that's not enough in the current state of the game, i'd even go as far as saying that she's the worst hero in the game
i don't think there's a single case in a competitive match where there hasn't been a better pick available than qop

don't get me wrong, she's not an auto-loss or anything, the problem is that there is literally no reason to pick her other than that she's fun to play

I NEED THAT NEW ANTI-MAGE SET LIKE RIGHT FUCKING NOW!!!

holy shit that is godlike

 

[SteveWinwood]

Oh oh oh I'm dumb. I thought it was the five way tie that would have occurred if they had just lost. I get it now. Thanks all.

 

[balladofwindfishes]

10 sets is weird

Does this mean 2 rare sets?
Why would Valve do that? Do people actually enjoy rare sets? Everyone I know always groans at rare sets and wishes they were easier to get (and would spend money if they were).

 

[Zeth]

Is Veno the rare for both chests? Or what is the second one?

Oh nvm - Lone Druid

 

[Ikuu]

Veno and LD it looks like.

 

[SteveWinwood]

When am I getting the death mode... I really want that.

They're always trying different things. The eternal experiment.

 

[Baha]

The venomancer chest is the best chest, has pa/am/venge/naga sets.

 

[Calidor]

The venomancer chest is the best chest, has pa/am/venge/naga sets.

I don't mind rare sets.

There, now everyone you know doesn't always groan.

Hell's Glare - Doom Bringer Genuine Mythical Item. Comes with custom ambient particle effect.

[balladofwindfishes]

veno set is rare, currently 38 bucks or so on market.

The veno set probably drops at the same rate the Earth Spirit set did, which means it won't really be worth that much.

 

[Zeth]

I can't get the new chests - clicking on the old ones in the banner brings up the page, but nothing for the new. Weird. Tried restarting too. Guess I can use external browser.

 

[Ikuu]

It's going for like $5 just now.

 

[Ikuu]

i swear to god that am set better not be rare

Just buy it from the Market, it's already 66% of the price of a key.

Yep, her hair is now white instead of blue, also much longer.

 

[Gentle Rodriguez]

Alright nvm these are cheap as fuck.

 

[Purple Cheeto]

If that cast had been for a football or basketball game a lot of people would've been fired and or fined.

 

[Technosteve]

[Chris R]

Veno can't be that rare, price already sub $10

 

[kvk1]

These guys need to sort their Dota TV issues.

Or at least address what the problem is.

May as well not buy the in-game tickets anymore.

 

[KingKong]

Wow the CM item looks way better now http://i.imgur.com/NR4At4j.png
