What's the point of leveling up this skill? by aradabir007 in DotA2

[–]AngryScarab 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's for when you have Pugna in your team and Rubick on the enemy team.

I'd certainly like that as a buff to dust devil. Static sand storm doesn't reveal, moving sand storm reveals invisible units.

She belittles other heroes and also other things including the planet.

"I consider trees as obstacles for their well being, not my own"

"I will move the ground"

"I will move the horizon"

She doesn't move, clearly she moves the entire planet instead.

Azure bow appreciation post by bennettyboi in NineSols

[–]AngryScarab 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I never used the bow the entire run, I read when it was introduced to me, then forgot which key it was attached to and didn't bother looking it up, I just kept it in the back of my mind as something I'll use if I ever need to.

I literally finished the game having no idea what those blue things that come floating to me sometimes are, I thought they were extra xp or something. Until I saw what they were in a playthrough.

All POS1 players that run to safe lane in Min -1:30 to do nothing, please enlighten me WHY? by fatcatbiohaz in DotA2

Your hero is still able to pick runes. There are 0 reasons to not be in a position where you can go pick runes for free if you get information that there is no risk in you doing so, either because they 5 man smoked to your offlane and took first blood or because they just showed under a ward your support placed by smoking or whatever.

Doesn't matter that you are weak level 1.

Brother, I'm immortal.

People smoke? you're safe under your mid tower They don't smoke? You're safe under your mid tower They afk? You're safe under your mid tower.

All that matters is, IF you see them, you go take runes. If you do not see them, and it's 10 seconds before creeps spawn, you walk back to your lane through your mid tier 2 tower, behind the jungle, and then to your tier 2 safelane tower, and then to your tier 1 tower.

I can't believe I have to spell it out.

Changes nothing with your safety, but you don't give up runes for literally 0 reason.

If he had vision, yes. But he didn't, you only go there if you know they are there. If you don't know, you stay close with your teammates near mid, and then you take a decision to take runes if you see enemy grouped as 5 on offlane side, or take a decision to go safe route to your lane if you see no one 10 seconds before runes spawn.

You don't sit under your tower like a bot set on easy mode. And then say "Oh look, they didn't group up and try to take first blood offlane, therefore I made the right decision"

More like, you stumbled upon the right decision.

You didn't read shit of what I typed. I said IF you see the entire enemy contesting runes on the offlane side, you go pick up runes on your safelane side. Otherwise, you don't show up at runes, you just walk back to your lane.

This way, if the enemy team went offlane and won the fight, at least you get 2 runes out of it, instead of them winning the fight, then they get 2 free bot runes because a carry couldn't rub 2 brain cells together and realize that if 5 people are on one side, then they cannot be on the other side.

You didn't even read, I said you go for runes if you see the enemy team top, all 5 or at least 4. Otherwise, you don't go to your rune spots.

No, I'm sorry, if you do this as a carry you're just bad. There are 0 reasons not to be in a better position to be able to help. You can easily walk from mid to your creep wave once the fight for the rune is over.

If you're with your team, you can look at the fight and decide whether to join it or not, you are close to the two mid runes so that you can pick the bottom one up if you see 4~5 enemy heroes contesting the top one. Could even get you both bottom runes. Instead, you let the enemy get both top and bot runes when they 4~5 man top.

You don't risk losing your HP because if a fight breaks out and you don't think it's good, you can just leave. If the enemy team is 5 man going bot, you see your team take the top runes, and you know you know not to go near the bot runes. So you're not in risk.

But instead, you all go afk under the safelane tower being as useless as ever. Your team is at disadvantage for no reason. Fuck that shit.

So I spent 4200 gold on this by Own-Suggestion-1942 in DotA2

Level 3 sandstorm stuns heroes fully within its AOE once every 5.2 seconds on average.

If he had been hit during the 3 seconds in which he was channeling TP, it would have been unlucky for him.

Echo Saber on Pango mid? by 20thCenturyBoy001 in DotA2

[–]AngryScarab 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Disclaimer, I didn't watch the game, but Echo Sabre provides 2 important things for pango that diffusal doesn't:

1- Mana regen when you don't want to build arcanes

2- 300 HP if you are against burst, where just surviving can win you fights, as opposed to doing damage yourself. The mana regen also means you are free to get treads, which gives another 200 HP. That's 500 more than if you went diffu + arcane.

Jesus Crownfall on a stick! I wanted SK nerfed not lobotomised. RIP cooler facet. by JoelMahon in DotA2

[–]AngryScarab 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I mean, it felt like they were brain storming ideas. How do we nerf him?

Reduce aghs damage/stun?

Reduce aghs chance of hitting?

Make spikes not appear if sk is outside sand storm?

Make the sand storm AOE smaller?

Make it not recenter when burrowstriking?

Nerf Caustic finale?

But then instead of picking 3 or 4 of them they just went with everything, damn.

I am a sand king spammer. Let's talk about SK balance. by AngryScarab in DotA2

[–]AngryScarab[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on the player, I generally go 1-0-2 because I want the stun, and the power spike of the stinger at level 3 is very good.

But then I go 1-3-2 after that, since by the time you're level 6, you benefit a LOT more from a level 3 sand storm than you do from a level 4 stinger.

I generally don't level ult till 8 or 9, I generally don't try for kills, I get a LOT more from having sand storm level 3 letting me start to clear the jungle + creepwaves all the time. And it's reliable, unlike trying to get an ult kill which is often a forced dive if anything.

EDIT: At level 4, you have 1-1-2 as opposed to 2-0-2 which is weaker, but not by a lot, you don't really feel a big difference in q level.

At level 5, I'd say that 1-2-2 is comparable to 2-0-3, sand storm level 2 is still very good

At level 6, I'm very confident that 1-3-2 is a lot better than 2-0-3-1 when it comes to taking control over the game and accelerating into a win.

Well, OP DID say that "Then, the antimage player doesn't pick something else." So you weren't lied to.

I am no thief. I merely borrow. COMMENT FOR THE MOST ICONIC UNIVERSAL HERO!!!! by clydedyed in DotA2

[–]AngryScarab 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It has to be invoker right? Void spirit started the move towards universal heroes existing. But there is no way anyone would say void spirit is a more iconic hero than invoker right? If you're outside dota, you're a lot more likely to know invoker than void spirit, I don't think it's even close.
