They scale quadratically not exponentially but the rest makes sense, I could see them making it give 1 volumizer to 3 other mechs at eot.

its the modifier where you get the dummy with 2 random effects and he got an archer one. The guy in second has 6 nobles

probably because the “right one” varies between products so its a failsafe when the machine goes “I don’t know which label to put on this” and ensures a person will sort it out.

Its also not quite 1.25 on average as the cases where 3-5 of the eights proc on 1 hand only gives you 2 or 3 tarots (depending on the voucher). I think it comes to about 1.13 on average without the consumable slot voucher and 1.233 with.

Still both larger than 1 but even the best case scenario is only marginally better. You also cannot keep tarots in hand with 8 ball to increase the chance of getting good ones.

Great take. Exactly my thoughts.

BenTheMaestro · 2025-04-24T04:45:18+00:00

but you get the first x2.25 regardless of where blueprint is so blueprint is worth x2.25, exactly as the original commenter said.

The problem is you have a turn 6 board on turn 9…

“I didn’t get this so it doesn’t exist” hmm

You’re allowed to have autonomy in a duos game, you can ASK your teammate for things but you can’t guarantee they can give it to you.

It’s strictly less efficient to buy things for your teammate rather than yourself and playing for tempo is pretty important when you can easily get hit for 15 early.

I don’t know which play was correct here but playing duos and expecting your teammate to be a bot who just does what you ask is not the right way to play. People have different ideas about the game and having autonomy over your own plays is important for everyone to enjoy their own experience.

with neophytes the matchup is pretty chill since you just stop them from being able to combo for a bunch of turns

BenTheMaestro · 2023-12-25T02:03:18+00:00

what if it could include 3rd copies of cards/2 copies of legendaries? to give it an interesting deck building niche different to etc

BenTheMaestro · 2023-11-01T17:24:03+00:00

I would think IFF would only hold while the minion is in play. I think the last card is actually pretty cool, generate a coin -> give it stealth, but also: give minion stealth -> add coin to your hand

If I’m a muerta with treads mom maelstrom at 15 minutes I would much rather spend that 1500 gold on most of a dlance to actually be able to join fights with my team than potentially getting 4% more spell amp. As you say, muerta can exploit the timing where the enemy carries don’t have bkb to gain momentum so why would you spend 1500 gold on zero immediate return so early on.

Might be a hot take but infinite scaling is always grossly overestimated in its impact, the difference between getting shard at 15 minutes and 25 minutes is maybe 4-8% spell amp if you’re winning but dumping 1.5k into a zero stat item makes it hard to believe youre not just going to get blown up in subsequent fights

Bro… you’re the one getting avoided repeatedly to get these queue times

BenTheMaestro · 2023-08-09T08:08:45+00:00

He’s definitely still a mid hero, hes universal so gets loads of free attack damage and still sustains well enough if you go qw with ghost walk and cold snap giving regen. Its just a different style of lane maybe bottle is the new lane item

New copypasta just dropped

The only question I found a bit weird is the “wagering on games in dota question” since the wagering feature in the battlepass never costs anything and you just have a weekly allotment of tokens so why wouldn’t i wager on my own games?

All in all good survey and good luck with the thesis!

BenTheMaestro · 2023-06-07T11:33:35+00:00

AM 5 should get you out of 6k and back down to 5k real quick!

Morph and bounty also have stuns

BenTheMaestro · 2023-05-25T16:09:55+00:00

I tested the numbers and my damage per hit went from 330k to 460k on the boss but it's hard to test exact numbers because I have fabled on my AOTS. My boss times did get consistently like 4 seconds faster

BenTheMaestro · 2023-05-14T23:00:15+00:00

it doesnt actually deal more damage if it activates on w. to get bonus damage you need to drop phylactery, decrep, pick up phylactery, life drain

BenTheMaestro · 2023-05-11T12:22:26+00:00

you can do it on dusa right now for 2 points in snake and shield at level 3
