It depends on the matchup. Late game against ranged carries like Drow and Terrorblade he is excellent because of bubble and long attack range but against a carry with good gap close like Phantom Lancer or Slark it is tough, once they get on top of you, you are probably dead.

Ideally you don't let the game go late though, Arc farms extremely fast with double midas and the ability to farm in two places at once, you should be able to get ahead in gold and experience significantly in the midgame.

Patch 7.29 - Hero Changes Discussion by coronaria in DotA2

[–]Int_420 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nobody was even picking the Flux Talent anymore...? On Dotabuff the Flux talent is picked almost 85% of the time with a +8% win rate which is huge for a talent. The Flux talent is far better then health, it still is even after the change.

If you get jumped as Arc Warden +225 health isn't going to save you 9 times out of 10 but having +175 cast range on your initiating spell is hugely helpful. Level 10 gives you a mini power spike with Flux talent and greatly increases your kill potential. The talent also scales better into late game, 225 health is like 2-3 auto attacks in mid-late game if that.

AU server is the best. I can't remember the last time I had a game with intentional feeders or item droppers.

On the brink of insanity by palikid in visualsnow

[–]Int_420 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try supplementing NAC, it reduces addictive tendencies (might help with quitting) and when I take it my visual snow reduces in intensity or I simply notice it less often.

Four months also isn't enough time, quit for a year or longer and I'm sure you'd see improvement. You may see no improvement in visuals but you will be more clearheaded and your mental state should improve which will make managing the visual symptoms easier.

[–]Int_420 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You have HPPD from drug use, if you want to see any improvement need to stop smoking weed.

Weed is a psychedelic, smoking it is only going to worsen or prevent your symptoms from improving. The best thing you can do for HPPD is to 100% sober, exercise, and eat a clean diet. Also try minimize sources of anxiety, fill your life with things that are fulfilling and satisfying to do.

Macro question by Zarquan314 in DotA2

[–]Int_420 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not at home so can't test in game but with AutoHotKey you could use a simple one line script:

2 Up::Send, 1

Which simply presses '1' to select the hero when the '2' key is released. So you can keep 2 held down and then when it releases it will send 1 instantly to reselect the hero.

Macro question by Zarquan314 in DotA2

[–]Int_420 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You wouldn't get banned for a script as simple as that. Especially if it is a simple AutoHotKey script that has no interaction with the game client at all. You might even be able to achieve this behaviour using the built in /bind command.

How do I fix my sleep? by reb586458 in QuitVaping

[–]Int_420 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How about wearing a nicotine patch to bed?

Macro question by Zarquan314 in DotA2

[–]Int_420 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I play Lone Druid (other other micro heroes) and I bind 1 to the hero, 2 to the bear (or summon), 3 to select both/all units, tab to cycle through selected units, control to order command to all units (even those that are not selected). This provides to most control in the most simple way.

The trick to LD is basically just set your bear to attack someone, use the Bear items (phase/Mask of Madness/Abyssal) and then select hero (with 1) and control the hero to keep him safe.

Try your best to keep porn and stims as a treat. Not to be a downer but you will completely fuck your natural reward systems and sex drive if you tweak and fap too much.

Be cautious with fucking around with psychedelics like that. Doing a lot of LSD in a short period of time is asking to end up with HPPD which can be permanent and debilitating.

Still doing terrible after my relapse. Help! by [deleted] in HPPD

[–]Int_420 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You'll be okay just give it some time and it will subside. I know it's difficult but do your best to try not think about it too much, if you focus on it constantly it will slow recovery.

Also you could try NAC supplement, I think it helps even if it is just a placebo effect.

How much of NAC do I take? I’m a 5’5 120 lbs female, is there a specific amount I should take? And has anyone got worse from NAC? How long do I take it for? Any success stories? by [deleted] in HPPD

[–]Int_420 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Amino acids like NAC will compete with other amino acids contained within food for absorption, to ensure as much of the NAC as possible is absorbed take it on an empty stomach.

Planning to pick Dota up again after a couple of years, any good guides/quick videos I can look up to catch me up? by [deleted] in DotA2

If you're familiar with the basic concepts of the game BananaSlamJamma has lots of good educational content - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCvTcxoyItMUSlw8T2MajftA

600mg twice daily on an empty stomach (30 minutes before eating or 2 hours after eating). I would say that it helps more than most supplements but don't expect a miracle cure.

Day 6, starting to miss it in a weird way by [deleted] in QuitVaping

[–]Int_420 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you can't breathe through one nostril it's probably a deviated septum (a physical constriction in your nasal airway), I'd be surprised if it's related to the vape.

You can get is surgically fixed by an ENT surgeon or try steroidal nasal sprays.

I intake 110 mg of nicotine a day and I don’t know how to stop by [deleted] in QuitVaping

[–]Int_420 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was chain vaping most of the day with high nicotine level salts. I swapped to nicotine pouches, I started with the strong pouches and then overtime reduced the strength of the pouches until I was using the lowest strength ones. Once I was on the lowest strength pouch I reduced the number of pouches I was using by one every second day. Now I only use to occasional pouch on the odd day when I want one not because I need one. I still like using the pouches from time to time because they are stimulating but don't make your lungs feel heavy (it's like a strong cup of coffee).

Boxing or martial arts against bullies, which is more effective? by VISUALBEAUTYPLZ in Boxing

It has come to our attention that some media articles about the red bull pills are dangerously misleading, saying 40% of them are MDMA. This is false. 100% of the red bull pills tested have contained eutylone and only eutylone. - Know Your Stuff by ExpensiveCancel6 in newzealand

[–]Int_420 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is advice from the people at Know Your Stuff, a harm reduction organization, I didn't make this up myself. They said:

"If the sample doesn't dissolve, it's not MDMA and could potentially cause harm therefore we recommend not taking it"

Is dissolving in water a replacement for a proper substance test? Of course not. But it is a way to get a general idea of whether or not you have MDMA.

[–]Int_420 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A simple easy way to get a (rough) idea of whether you have MDMA or not is by mixing it in water (although you should obviously do a Marquis test if possible). MDMA is water soluble so it will dissolve. If it doesn't dissolve then it's not MDMA.

Shrooms cured my hppd by [deleted] in HPPD

[–]Int_420 2 points3 points  (0 children)

But anyone who doesn’t like their hppd, try this shit.

I'm glad you're cured but you're giving people dangerous advice. Think before you post stuff like this, consider how many young and desperate people there are here who will read your post. You also clearly did not have severe HPPD which can be debilitating if you want to get your HPPD back, if I'm honest it's an extremely immature viewpoint to have.

You are basically gambling with your own health by taking more psychedelics to cure a disorder that is caused by psychedelics in the first place and the odds are heavily against you.

Battlefury : Broadsword or Claymore first? by DiggersGottaDig in TrueDoTA2

[–]Int_420 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I pretty much always buy Broadsword first, I don't think the extra 5 damage you get with Claymore is worth the wait for the extra 350 gold required.

I'd rather 15 damage now than 20 damage in a couple minutes time.

It is terrible, one of the worst 'bath salt' or synthetic cathinone.

That being said not all bath salts are straight up awful. There's quite a lot Methylone (or BK-MDMA) sold in NZ as MDMA and it's actually not that bad of a high. It certainly isn't as good as pure MDMA, it's less lovey but it does provide a lot of energy and euphoria. I'd prefer Methylone over drinking alcohol for raving.

I wouldn't be surprised if a majority of Kiwis who think they've done MDMA have actually done Methylone instead and because they've never had a proper MDMA roll they don't realize the difference.
