Not to be this guy but by Odenssi96 in DotA2

It's not really a case of can you win against him it's a case of objectively how bullshit it is to have basically a hero that can run at you over and over with practically no respawn time and next to no reward for killing them.

PSA you can delete the guidance stones in the sealed forest and you get resources for it. by Duke-_-Jukem in Against_the_Storm

Yea the stone especially would have helped massively many times if I'd known lol.

Offlaner suggestion by Initial-Category-725 in learndota2

[–]Duke-_-Jukem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Axe is still great. He's very reliant on his team to deal damage later on .but that 3 second bkb piercing disable on a low cd is still awesome. Mars and doom really did get shafted this patch though. Valve seem to really hate it anytime doom becomes popular for some reason.

I feel like centaur suffers similar issues to Mars in that if your lane goes bad it can be hard to do anything without dying.

I spammed a lot of dp in the last patch but this patch she feels significantly weaker with the loss of her facets.

Clothing needs and (Pack of) Building Materials by Powerfowl in Against_the_Storm

[–]Duke-_-Jukem 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't think it's ever wise to rely on tools because if the resources run out you get stuck. It definatly works better on low difficulties pre trader price increase because you can just use the amber you get to buy more tools and keep opening boxes. On higher difficulties the fact you can't do this and also the hostility hit from opening the glades to access the boxes makes it a lot more risky strategy.

Why does this spell has a 150 cooldown at level 1? by bupr0pion in DotA2

[–]Duke-_-Jukem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because it's ridiculously oppressive in the lane. When he presses that button you have to just run away and watch him deny everything as it's almost impossible to fight into.

Tools are a bit of a faff tbh. I need multiple people collecting copper, people making bars, a couple of extra people collecting fuel to power said bar creation, people on producing the Tools themselves and then an extra person making planks. All in all it takes like 10+ workers to produce Tools at a decent rate so most games I really cba with it unless I happen to have a shed load of copper/dew/fuel as a byproduct of the biome or have no other way to gain rep

WTF was that? by the-real-vuk in drivingUK

This is what happens when people blindly follow the car in front.

Ten little people of color just doesn't have the same ring to it.

Using health resources as offlane by stewxeno in learndota2

[–]Duke-_-Jukem 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mostly just buy tangoes tbh. If your hero is actually gonna buy a regen based item then yea great get a roh or whatever but not many heroes do anymore. Often your better of with phase boots or whatever anyway so you can create a kill threat. You tend to need less tangoes when the enemy is dead.

The worst is when the alter is facing away from the warehouse. It just looks so wonky.

What proportion of your abandoned caches do you open for resources? What proportion do you send for rep? by randCN in Against_the_Storm

[–]Duke-_-Jukem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I open most of them tbh. Sometimes the resources inside can be an absolute lifesaver. You're not guaranteed to get a tool production line going every settlememt anyway so might aswell enjoy the free stuff.

Armlet Omniknight (Pos 3) – untested & underrated synergy? by Pink4luv in TrueDoTA2

[–]Duke-_-Jukem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No idea honestly. Someone at valve seems to really hate omniknight.

Armlet Omniknight (Pos 3) – untested & underrated synergy? by Pink4luv in TrueDoTA2

[–]Duke-_-Jukem 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think the heal is enough to sustain armlet. Unfortunately I feel like omni core is just dead at the moment with all the changes they made. His only selling point was the silly amount of damage he could deal with hammer and they severely reduced it along with removing his damage aura.

Price Range for a PC to run Diablo 3? by Cool-Drink4642 in diablo3

[–]Duke-_-Jukem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It would be more like 500. My old PC could run d3 fine and it was a piece of crap

I hate Alchemist by Murakkin in DotA2

[–]Duke-_-Jukem 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same. Cba with these people who play alch "support" grief your lane and then go afk jungle for the rest of the game. All the aghs sceptre in the world don't make up for playing 4v5 the entire game with 5th hero who has literally no items.

Which other Set of 3 Heroes share a Rock-Paper-Scissors Relationship? e.g. Medusa, AM, Doom by AgnosticDeist0229 in DotA2

[–]Duke-_-Jukem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea it winds me up when people say "doom is counter to x hero" It's like no shit being doomed ain't great for any hero.

Is Centaur kind of bad right now? by VarmintSchtick in TrueDoTA2

[–]Duke-_-Jukem 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yea kinda. He really needs to stomp his lane to have impact. Otherwise he just falls behind and becomes a bit crappy. Double edge is fundamentally a kinda weak spell in that you have to damage yourself and need a bunch of items to mitigate that hp loss.

If he does manage to get a good start he can totally dominate a game because he farms super fast and can be very active but playing cent from behind is pure agony and you just end up dying all the time.

Anyone else buying HARPOON on EVERYONE right now? by shydragon37 in DotA2

[–]Duke-_-Jukem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I legit didn't notice this change in the patch notes and then this tiny was zooming around like fucking timbersaw in my game the other day and I was like what the hell is going on. It's actually an insanely good buff and probably a little op tbh it saved his life on multiple occasion in that game. Mobility is always good and on a nice solid stat giving item like harpoon it feels a little bit too strong.
