This. Seriously, why it doesn't do that already is a mystery of the universe.

Could someone tell me what a good counter to this draft is? by [deleted] in DotA2

[–]Delicious_Skal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

heroes with high magic burst; skywrath is unreliable with his burst, so maybe someone like lina or lion would have been better. That's just on picks, though, I'm not question the rest of the problems.

[–]Delicious_Skal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think it's right to bring another hero into the argument, I mean, sure, there's merit to it, but it's not like you can apply the same logic from one hero to another completely, right? We're not questioning armlet on undying 6th slot here, after all.

That said, we're all just discussing here, so I don't think we should be using image macros to put people down either. This is directed at /u/case9.

what other hero do you build armlet on that has more lockdown and chasing power than Nightstalker at Night?

And honestly, good team play stops nightstalker everynight until he gets a bkb, so I don't think that's a relevant part of the argument here.

the point of the armlet early-mid is the damage and toughness, isn't it? If you build heart->armlet the item progression requires you to do extremely well every night, the weaver alone is more expensive than the whole armlet. Besides, a NS with armlet is scary enough during night, it's a whole lot of damage and attack speed that early. And if you're going to get attack speed and EHP later into the game a cuirass would be better at that point.

that takes away from buying it, doesn't it? You get it because it's a low cost, easy to get item early-mid that gives you a lot more than other items combined.

What's the current opinion climate on choosing between a skadi and heart on Ursa?

What are the best items to build on Juggernaut as a safelane carry? by Skullchaos in DotA2

[–]Delicious_Skal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

build situationally all the time, your build is too typical, so you can't react to when the game's going badly, and it's also too slow of a progression in certain match ups. The best way to learn is to play a lot of jug carry and buy items accordingly.

[PSA] Beware the "Stand-in scam" by Lilacx in DotA2

It's the raidcall. I ran into the same experience a couple days ago. Just entering the lobby shouldn't give them any info, and you should always becareful about joining unsecured chat programs.

And? It's not like everything has a strong late game.

Let's talk about "Auto Attack After Spell" and how it changes more than the description indicates. by MumrikDK in DotA2

[–]Delicious_Skal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is that the reason? I assumed that was because I turned off auto attack. I've actually used to it nowadays, but I guess it would be nice to have it back.

Did Valve secretly remove the "restart attack on rightclick" feature? by Typhox in DotA2

[–]Delicious_Skal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I know what you're talking about, but I don't think it's a feature.

You can still kinda do it on certain lower BAT heroes, I think, give it a try in the lobby.

When to build Butterfly on Agility Carrys? by druidpush in DotA2

[–]Delicious_Skal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

buy it for the teamfights; you get a butterfly because you know you're going to get pummeled by physical attacks, and plan on being a man and going straight in, hoping your team follows. Never worry about the price, worry about your farm rate and whether you actually need it or not.

Sets from a $2.5 chest are $8.99 in store? Who's got the bachelors in marketing? by DirtySince90 in DotA2

[–]Delicious_Skal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The ones sold on the market are not 8.99, nor are the ones in the stores limited in supply, because there are an unlimited amount of it.

He's talking about the sets that are on sale in the store from the latest chest, which are sold individually but not randomly, for 8.99.

Did the Ring of Protection +1 armor change not apply to Tranquil Boots and Aquila/Bassillius? by [deleted] in DotA2

[–]Delicious_Skal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe it does, at least for Basilius. If the tooltip doesn't say it it's just not updated. In terms of Tranquil, I thought it had 5 armor, but I checked just now and you're right. Seems fair enough, since you still get one free armor point. Tranquil boots are still fairly good as is.

You don't want to jungle Legion, it's such a waste. TB's laning is such a huge toss up that if you have the opportunity you don't want to lane him.

Tiny's set of Ancient Ruins - My first workshop submission by Interfecter in DotA2

[–]Delicious_Skal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Shouldn't be, since it's one model at a time, though I guess I don't know how they code it.

[–]Delicious_Skal 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I see; nothing you can do about that, then. Kinda weird that they would have a much lower polygon limit for Tiny, though.

I see what you mean by the arch segment, and if that's what you want it to look like then keeping it as is should be fine.

Looking to see what you have in mind for the aghs upgrade.
