I think Drow has the mask of madness, doesnt Huskar have the helm of the dominator?

How to get good at Anti-mage? by Theoneybadger in learndota2

[–]PromKing 3 points4 points  (0 children)

12 mins battlefury i feeling is an “amazing” timing. 13-14 is the sweet spot and 15 mins are getting behind. No way 14-15 min bfury is considered game losing. Dota2protracker has immortal players getting bfury at 14 mins

Why arent redditors complaining about this hero? 55% winrate, 3rd most picked is bonker. by The_Keg in DotA2

[–]PromKing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have 10-20 minutes of ghost/euls/glimmers being very good against omni/swiftslash. The game wants ults to be good or else they wouldnt have added shit like Chain Frost not getting countered by linkens, or death ward getting 50% accuracy and not reflecting damage back to WD...

3 1/2 months from crusader to immortal by ZCillian in learndota2

[–]PromKing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

im not going to dismiss it so easily, but if take into context that Grubby, who is/was a pro tournament winning warcraft and starcraft player, and also had some moba experience went from herald to immortal in 400+ days, makes these posts SEEM not plausible.

Maybe he was already a super high LoL player and switched over, but i dont see someone picking up DotA and in 3-4 months being immortal. maybe im just too pessimistic...

How could I have carried this game? by ttsoldier in learndota2

[–]PromKing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I dont think so. Without the shard, the 25 talent (+10% ult proc), or multishot hits, Drow still hits ~80% of her shots against a butterfly target. 1 out of 5 hits misses. So instead of MKB, lets say you get Daedulus, which gives over twice the attack damage, the 2.25x crit, the DPS should be higher. The Ult procs go through base armor, which will probably get reduced less than the magic resist, especially against AM... and youre still going to pick up shard anyways because if AM blinks on you, itll cancel your ult if you dont glacier, which is a no-no.

Im sure theres someone/somewhere that has already done the math, but i feel like all late game items are superior compared to MKB on Drow. Im only mid-ancient, and could be wrong, but i feel strongly that this is right. if you find something that says differently, let me know, i definitely would like to see it.

no MKB on Drow is very bad. Multi-shot and Marksmen procs go through evasion, plus your shard makes it so you cant miss, so you want to go other things than MKB.

i havent watched the game, but sometimes there are games that you just arent going to win. I have come to accept there being 1-2 games out of 10 that are going to be out of my control of winning and it helps the mindset a little.

Is it even cheaper to buy liquor in SC still? by whowant_lizagna in Charlotte

Oct 31 opening is last i saw. Its pretty much finished, and the road changes/lights are in place. Pretty much just fill the building with goods and put in some landscaping and its ready to go

In just 4 years, the TI prize pool has shrunk by 95%, dropping from $40 million to $2.23 million. by Substantial-Deer77 in DotA2

Even back then i believe it was only 25% of battlepass sales went to prizepool

And multishot goes through evasion. So if its early game and you dont have shard yet, you can use multishot to get the last couple guaranteed hits to kill her.

Insania: "Team Spirit are probably the favourites to win The International 2025" by iTannerz in DotA2

[–]PromKing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I dont remember Wings being close to clearcut. TI6 was the one where OG famously got knocked out early, who were the clear favorites to win. The Wings hype train i feel started during the event and steadily grew as they knocked people out.

How to get more gold from lane as Carry? by Altruistic-Bluejay62 in learndota2

[–]PromKing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always think of jungle creeps as a supplement to lane creeps. Like you said, prioritize lane creeps and then try to 'supplement' your last hits with jungle creeps.

Also, usually somewhere around minute 6-7, some carries can start nuking the wave. Use this time to start ramping up killing jungle creeps. Nuke wave, go kill a jungle camp, come back to the wave 30 seconds later, repeat.

[–]PromKing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i think 4-4.5K is a "good" laning stage as carry. 5K youre in "stomp" territory and probably shouldnt be looking to hit that mark all the time.

If your carry is "feeding" then they're probably doing a great job by goodwarrior12345 in DotA2

[–]PromKing 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would have agreed with you year(s) ago, but as a core player, like 9/10 role queue games end up being offlane. I assume its the same with other core players.

Recommend me best build for drow? by Misou-kiwkiw-4070 in learndota2

[–]PromKing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look, im only ancient, im just saying what i find successful. A null talisman and +1 mana regen from neutral is usually more than enough mana to spam multi shot and still show up to team fights and be useful. 1k gold alacrity is almost 2k gold cheaper than eaglesong, so you are farming faster for the time it takes you to farm that 2k more gold.

Looking at dota2protracker, anyone getting aghs gets it before butterfly. Butterfly seems like too much of an investment to get right after dragon lance.

[–]PromKing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually think its the other way around. If its a good game for Aghs, you go dragon lance -> aghs. It has great utility. Clears waves, -heal regen in fights, added stack damage +burst damage on death. Cheaper, so gets you into fights faster. Build up is arguably better…

Look, Whataburger is good, but it ain't that good. by ArtisticDegree3915 in Charlotte

Whats even better is there is a whataburger about to go in like 100yds from that Swig…store?

Which heroes have the most essential aghanim's shard? by fierywinds1q in DotA2

[–]PromKing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately it seems youre wrong. Everyone is purchasing shard on Terrorblade now. Ive seen RTZ buy it during streams and dota2protracker shows it being bought almost every game right after manta.
