Yeah Enfeeble's one of those highly situational moves. Look at your lane and decide whether neutering an enemy's physical damage output is worth it. Like Razor's Static Link it can completely cripple some heroes early game (and 20 seconds is a long time) or be completely useless.

I don't know about Skywrath but Silencer seems pretty good.

Skywrath is so dependant on positioning and requires a lot of patience during fights. I also don't have much luck running him as a hard support, so if your team is relying on you for all support duties you'll have a very tough time.
Get yourself a force staff and a rod of atos, follow your carry around, and get some easy kills/assists. Your range is amazing so sit way back.

True. For some stupid reason is one of the most underrated items on the game. Even tough it's a Hero specific item, tons of players just don't care about it. Which is dumb imo.

i think its like an unspoken contract between all the players
like atos is so good that i wont buy it if you wont because it just makes the game too easy

The issue is that of all the CC sticks, Atos' slow is almost always the least useful option. You'd get it if you're a squishy Int that really wants the Hp boost.
Like Skywrath.

I can't think of atos being core on any hero besides skywrath, actually, even though it's a really good item. It's good and cost-effective but most of the time I feel like rushing for a more expensive but game-changing item instead, like a hex or orchid. I guess the most directly comparable item is a euls, and I think in most cases with most int heroes I'd take the euls over atos.
Hi shira
I can do Newbee's writeup. When do you need it by?

Do players ever have a friend spectating a match while Steam-chatting with them, so they can be told what the enemy are doing?
there is a 2 min delay on pubmatches.
Some do, but the games are on a 2 minute delay.

Woah, had no idea about that. So I've been sending people compliments about their play 2 minutes after it's actually happened?
I don't even know anymore.

Is Tiny the most effective last-hitter in the game? Watching someone play as him now, and he's taking out entire creep waves with 2 or 3 basic attacks
Not without an Aghanims he ain't.
The_Hitcher89

Is that the first item they generally go for after the basic stat-padders?
Very often, tiny has two main build paths. You can get things like blink dagger and go for an early ganking build, or rush scepter and go for a right click heavy build that is better in the late game.

Meepo clears waves at about level 5 with double poof on a few second cool down.

As part of an aggressive tri with a Legion though?
Looks like the gold figures will be their own thing, but no clue if you can simply buy one at ti4. Also this implies you can get the immortal items out side of ti4

If I see a friend playing I usually jump into the game and give them the ward locations. I'm nice like that.

Purification is a huge nuke if you aren't far behind in the game and his aura lets you disrupt enemies you get close to pretty significantly. He's very defensive in general, but that doesn't mean he lacks offensive potential.
Tiny with ags is great for hitting the creeps, but from a hero -> creep standpoint he's outshined by AM, Meepo, and probably alc. The illusion farmers will beat him out too, he lacks the mobility to keep up.

General Description:
Since finishing runners-up at The International 2013, NaVi have endured an inconsistent season where they have failed to exert the same level of dominance over the Dota 2 scene like they once did. Easily the most recognisable brand in esports, NaVi have, at times, demonstrated why they are so popular with fans across the world but have also failed to replicate their style when it has come to the latter stages of a tournament.
Puppey is renowned for being one of the best drafters in the game but it appears that he has struggled to get to grips with drafting in order to compliment NaVis playing style with the changing meta. I would also add that I believe Dendi no longer has the dominance he once had over the mid lane, with his signature heroes appearing to struggle to adjust to the new strategies devised. Xboct will continue to Xboct. Funn1k has shown why he is considered one of the best offlaners in Dota 2 and has been one of the brighter stars of NaVi. My old mate Kuroky, my favourite player in esports, not much to say about him other than the fact his Rubick is the most overrated player in sports. Not esports, sports.
But we cannot forget the fact theyre NaVi. What they have is an abundance of experience. Theyve performed at the highest levels, time and time again at the International, proving that recent form has no bearing on their performances when it has mattered most. There arent many teams out there that can match NaVis bouncebackability. Get ready for squeaky bum time Na'Vi fans.
As strange as it is to write this, NaVi are no longer considered one of the favourites to win The International considering the struggles theyve had since the last one. But theyre everyones dark horse.
Omni sucks as a support. Farming Omni is pretty fun and can do a lot of damage with some levels/points in degen. People underestimate his kill potential. A fun hero that is a support that relies on helping teammates is Abaddon. If people don't kill you you can pretty much keep your team in the game.
TI4, soon

Something really weird happened earlier, I played All Random (think that's what it's called) and 4 of the other team disconnected as well as 1 of our's before the match even started. We got careless as you'd expect 4 vs 1 and I died, then when I respawned I was Clinkz and it was as though Chaos Knight had never even been involved :s
If you play All Random Deathmatch you respawn as a different hero when you die.
That's all random deathmatch. It hasn't been officially put in but for some reason it's an invisible option in the menu. Quite buggy as a result.

No matter how well I do with Skywrath, I almost always lose. No idea how it happens.
Yiss. Love PFlax's vlogs. Dude is just funny.

Ah. Was wondering what the hell was going on
Is there a way of having a bot take over when someone disconnects? I know you can assume control of their hero, but I'm nowhere near good enough to control 2 heroes at once
lol
I'm very depressed
I did DK as my favorite hero challenge, since I didnt play him much
http://dotabuff.com/players/381550/...ight&lobby_type=&game_mode=®ion=&duration=
Apparently I suck with him
Very much
I managed to fuck my win ratio with him. Most teams feel that never build around him, I feel that I might have a good laning phase but mid game forward I fall off hardly until I get AC/Satanic/Mjolnir.
I think I'm missing something with him. It was a very sad experience.

You gotta push the fuck out of towers every time your ult is up. Finish the game quick cuz you kinda suck later.
I can't push alone though. If my whole team stays back, and I go alone, I end up getting raped 5vs1.
It can only work in split push scenarios.
