I killed twsift once and instant allchat bm. You gotta get under their skin first. EE has such a huge psychological advantage despite the yellow card.

As a general question, what is the best way to minimize the impact Techies has on your farming speed? Early on I try to set off mines with illusions or helm creeps if I have them, but this still delays the stacking process quite a bit and makes for a rough game if the lane goes poorly and I don't have great bomb disposal tools.

Accidentally canceling a teleport is the worst...Tell me this happens to everyone occasionally.

Are TPs at random times? Sometimes it seems longer than others.

There's an option that will prevent you from canceling it and the time is based on how many people have tp'd to that same location recently.

TPs to buildings take longer if multiple people teleport to the same place in a short time. 3 seconds for the first, then 5, 6, 7, ect for each after.

I don't see a setting anywhere so I guess it's just based on whenever your browser checks for updates to the rest of your addons.

If someone recently TP'd to the same building that you're TPing to (besides the fountain) in the last 25 seconds, the channel takes 3/5/5.5/6/6.5s per person.

Friendly reminder as soon as the compendium hits every other item will drop in value.

Shown here in the arrow is the lowest price of treasue keys on Surprise May 6th, when the TI4 compendium dropped. Sold my last keys today. Might want to start selling your excess winnings.

I also heard something about $12-20 USD compendiums instead of $10.

I really hope that is just a rumor and not real about the compendium pricing

Thanks for the info on teleports. I was rushing to cast a spell once I hit the tower but my timing was off, due to everyone else going to that location as well.

There is an option to prevent the teleport from canceling? I've never seen this.

But the AOE was never adjusted when they changed the TP range, so you can actually get two 3 second TPs to the same tower if you do it at the extreme edges.

Also, BoT TPs are always 3 second.

According to Dota Buff I played my first solo queue High Skill game yesterday. Was easily the furthest thing from High Skill I had felt in a long while. Can't wait until the patch comes out so I can go 14-0 right off the bat like 6.83...

yes I turned this shit a few months ago, and my god, it's been a life saver. When you have this checked only a stop command will break the TP.

it has saved me many grey hairs. shame it took me 1.5k hours to actually turn it on.

stealth edit fuck me I thought 1.5k sounded bad, but then I checked actual time played, 2176 hours. granted a good ~150-200 are probably idle time.

legit this game ruined my senior year of college, and I even left uni without graduating. failed my 7th semester hard bcuz I'd literally spend 16 hours str8 on doto, and then ability draft came out and WHOOO BOY.

I have a decent job in spite of all this shit but damn. what a time sink. fuck me

So why is OD out of favor right now? Hero was pretty popular for a while, but that was around a year ago. Rarely ever see him now, even in pubs.

Int carries don't do well against all this physical damage that's popular right now. Plus he doesn't really have a good steroid skill that scales into late game.

I don't know, 200+ pure with every hit is never going to be bad. But Silencer can do the same, and has greater utility in general.

Yeah, but his attack speed is shit. And there's no good attk spd items he could get that synergies well, whereas Silencer can get an orchid
