Time to hit the books bro. Composite damage is reduced by both magic resistance and armor.
Book'd by kirby.
This whole time I was under the assumption it was fully blockable. Seeing as how anything get hits by it.

I want to play strife all of a sudden
"Composite damage (also known as mixed damage) is a physical damage that is also reduced by magic resistance."
Huskar is beast against Techies.
I just looked up multiple sources, they seem to all generally agree that the equation for composite damage is DAR, Damage multiplied by the reduction from armor multiplied by the reduction from magic resistance, so if it were 1000 damage and you had 50% armor and 90% magic resist, it would be 1000x0.5x0.1, which results in 50 damage. Given that our Huskar ran over a bunch of bombs without dying with very little health, that math seems at least roughly correct.
I'm going to watch the replay, do some math, and see if I can reverse engineer how it works. It amazes me that nobody has done this yet, or if they have that it didn't get published anywhere notable.

newbee vs vg round two. now that the key players are gone, is it gonna be another repeat?
I did a bunch of testing with both suicide squad as well as land mine, with 6 platemails and full health on a level 25 huskar (80% physical resist, 30% magic, 2012 health, 1550 composite damage from close proximity suicide squad as well as close proximity mines,) the combat log damage was always effectively the result of the equation; Composite damage x magic resist x physical resist = final damage. The result was only exact once, and for the suicide squad varied by a tolerance of about 10 damage, the mines were on a tolerance of about 5 damage, which could easily be made up by hidden decimal points that the game doesn't show you.
Huskar is fucking beast against Techies.
Time to hit the books bro.

C9 are a really boring team without sing
Man C9 flatout sucks in China.
Bro I never doubted you!
Will start instalocking huskar whenever I can't get techies now.
Edit: Won my first techies game too. Was so hilarious. When in doubt, always suicide on carry.

Na'vi is really pretty good.
The reason its reduced more then expected is that there is "partial armor" points. Basically, every single point of agility give a bit of physical resistance, even if it doesn't show as having more armor on the hud.
I really like the new Na'vi. Sadly I find it hard to get behind the new Alliance Roster.
Lol. Good call. I just tested, and if you leave enough room between land mines so that berserkers rage stacks can build up, you can run across 25 mines without even coming close to dying.
Also just to bolster my math a bit: I did 1 blink dagger nothing else, lvl 25 huskar with 2012 max hp, with 13 stacks of berserker's rage (didn't record current health,) 1550 damage from close proximity suicide, multiplied by 0.07 (93% magic resist,) multiplied by 0.66 (34% armor,) the result is 71.61, the in game said 69 damage, which could easily mean the difference between a few dozen hp either way.
Composite = good for huskar. huskar = bad for techies. Infallible math.
That's what I figured.

man this new c9 is just bad

May contain jokes =>
blyatsuka!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
edit:
Lol is that the set that was seen in the files months and months ago, posted in a Cyborgmatt post, but never came out?
I found it absurd that the dota wiki article on damage types didn't explain how composite damage worked so I wrote down the equation there. How silly is it that in a game played by millions I had to do my own experiment on how composite damage worked because of how conflicting google search results on the subject were.
Dotabuff says 41.65% right now. I honestly expected it to be lower 30s.
TECHIES 37% WIN RATE
Dotabuff says 41.65% right now. I honestly expected it to be lower 30s.
I honestly think they are better than they were at TI4. Time will tell with 6.82 tho
I wanna play some/see some techies Thumbin here

Nope its a new one by SithHappens, might be EG/Alliance branded - I think he's been working with them lately
Also just for the sake of rubbing it in:

Alright time for me to go to bed. Lol.
I've bet all my items on the next two WEC matches.
I'll either wake up rich or itemless
Last time I bet, I bet 10 rares on the BO3 between IG and LGD at TI4. It was a sad day for my steam inventory. The rares were on IG.
