Yea, Merlini is a fucking moron.
It's like no shit Medusa does a lot of damage 5 minutes earlier than for most "normal players". He didn't do that awful Linken's build which delays any meaningful damage by 5-10 minutes. He built damage-boosting items early and often and they couldn't do shit about it. That's how you play Dusa. Though I prefer a dom helm in there with yasha. Mostly because pubs can't be relied on for stacking.
But yea, build a fast yasha and aquila and you join team fights from 12 minutes on. It's how I've been playing Dusa for the last year to rather effective results.
Fuck Linken's, people. Yasha --> Bfly/Skadi --> Skadi/Bfly/MKB/Daed --> (whatever is left) and you'll win much more often than not.
edit:
not all wins, but the work done is almost always consistent. Even with teams of intentional feeders.

1 of 3 matches with crits were lost. Stats ftw?
What does that have to do with it? Man I just don't get this. I personally liked n0tail as a nickname but he didnt so I can see why he changed it, although I think changing his name had a disastrous effect on his reputation. Fly though? Fly is the kind of name that you can only keep if you are a very famous member of the community, why would you change it?
0-12 raptor wtf
The question basically comes down to harass ratios and rune control. If you are up against a relatively weak melee hero where you can last hit your ass off and not worry about dying, you aren't going to be as worried about regen. If you can control runes quite well, rushing a bottle makes a lot of sense, however sometimes high agility can in theory be better so in those cases you won't have to get regen. Also what you get after bkb is totally situational, there's a lot of factors to consider:
- What did I get before bkb?
- What time did I get bkb?
- What am I lacking?
- What heroes am I up against?
- What heroes am I allied with?
- How much gpm am I getting?
This is the kind of thing you just have to figure out yourself as you learn more about the hero and the game. Never just follow one rigid build.

Thanks, I never really played him much before this week. So far my plan has basically been butterfly if they have lots of right click or bashes, daedalus if my team has enough control for me to get greedy with damage, deso if they have too many int/str heroes, and AC if they have someone like DP and we desperately need armor.
I still don't know when I can sneak a blink dagger in before the BKB. I really enjoy using it on him, but the BKB comes so late if you aren't getting kills with the blink.

I actually thought Searing Arrows were some weird kind of magical damage that worked on towers so Deso wouldn't be that good on Clinkz. How much of an average damage boost would you get with Deso?
Because we already lost the game by the time I get orchid and the whole team is 5-manning so I can't pick up any solo kills.

Unless there's something I'm not aware of it should work.
it stacks with skadi because dota (something something effects vs modifiers something something)
its not terrible because you can get one normal attack, get the deso debuff, and then turn on searing and it will do more damage
but hell medallion is cheaper
id rather have a daedalus tho
or a butterfly
or a mkb
hell even a manta or something
edit gettin schooled by the ol hylian
Did you read the patch notes for 6.82?

im so outdated
What lane do you go to Dreams?
I like going mid with her and AFK farming ala mid Naga because no one ganks mid in pubs and you can trade harass easily with maxed snake
I wish Sven would come back
Hes like the manly version of PA. Nothing beats seeing a Sven go red and then get a one hit triple kill

Don't skip it anymore. Max it first.
0-4-2-1 opening. Going into
2-4-2-1. Then max shield, then split shot. By far the best approach now. Highly recommended.
Safe carry. Max snakes + Aquila are good for keeping you safe against all but the most aggressive of 3-man ganks.
Most of my Luna games go pretty well. I think she's underestimated this patch.
She's dead because there are better damage dealing ranged agi carries who are not as squishy as her, and not as ultimate dependant.

Builiding crits on Dusa is a bit stupid because it does not synergize with the split shot.
I will have to try this.

I wonder what will happen to the game if icefrog decides to remove denying creeps.
The comminity reaction will surely be a bloodbath.

90% of the time, I buy the wards at the start of the game regardless of what hero I'm playing. People are too slow to buy their items anyway so it lets me get in position to place them and then go to my lane as opposed to having to wait for someone to buy them and then pass them to me.
You get people that fight for mid in every single bracket, even at 5k and 6k. I don't think calling mid first reserves you the right to go there by the way, that is kindergarten logic.

When you're spectating and you click a hero to check their items/abilities, how do you get it to go back to switching that part of the HUD depending which hero is being focussed on?

outstanding. now i need the terrorblade arcana
I hit the ESC key.
This commentator......
It makes Zyori looks good, like how that is even possible.
I usually just ask the team if they're ok with it and if they reply yes its usually fine. I'll let others grab it if they want, but only issue I've ever had were people who don't say a word during hero pick and then pick a mid and run there. Ruins so many team comps.
