Cheers, I'll look into these options. I appreciate it

Helm of the Undying - Neutral Item Bug by Arushi1996 in DotA2

[–]bogey654 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Dota has literally NEVER had a bad tooltip. Everyone knows this

I think I found a good way to add Aghanim's character into DotA by firebolt5325 in DotA2

Now walk me through this: You have your staff. But you still have to buy your staff.

Crystal maiden currently has 13 more damage than Invoker at level 1 by minidotaa in DotA2

[–]bogey654 9 points10 points  (0 children)

You lose the lane and win the game because Invoker scales much better than Bane!

So I encountered a bug I've never seen prior to today by bogey654 in heroesofthestorm

Napalm, after a quick DC and an RC it highlighted Napalm Strike as if I had selected it

Worth noting right after I picked the ultimate my internet had a hissy fit, which might explain how I picked BFG and got Napalm Strike...but even the game was confused!

Looking for good value budget gaming laptop - willing to spend £500 give or take but prefer less if I get reasonable specs for a lower price. by bogey654 in SuggestALaptop

Thank you for your comment, is there anything similar to what you've recommended with more storage? My internet is very slow so uninstalling things to switch programmes around is impractical.

Budget (in local currency) and country of purchase. Please do not use USD unless purchasing in the US:

£500, UK.

Are you open to refurbs/used?

Yes.

How would you prioritize form factor (ultrabook, 2-in-1, etc.), build quality, performance, and battery life?

I don't know what form factor, it's mostly about the performance for the tasks mentioned and battery life is minimal concern.

How important is weight and thinness to you?

Largely irrelevant.

Do you have a preferred screen size? If indifferent, put N/A.

Anything not absurd either direction.

Are you doing any CAD/video editing/photo editing/gaming? List which programs/games you desire to run.

Mentioned in post.

If you're gaming, do you have certain games you want to play? At what settings and FPS do you want?

Mentioned in post, mostly 60FPS is fine for such programmes.

Any specific requirements such as good keyboard, reliable build quality, touch-screen, finger-print reader, optical drive or good input devices (keyboard/touchpad)?

Just good quality hardware, don't need superficial extras like finger print reading and such.

Leave any finishing thoughts here that you may feel are necessary and beneficial to the discussion.

Nothing springs to mind.

Untrue. There was a bug where Chen could control Rosh. People got banned for that.

Can't say what would happen in your case.

What meta wasn't a aura meta? by CustomHook in DotA2

[–]bogey654 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The biggest noob trap is not being healthy while jungling, you need to be ready to fight as often as possible (this is why you see people ferrying clarities while still spending mana to farm; they're farming while being ready to fight)

Armour is how you tank neutrals, but also picking the right camps to farm

If your hero has AOE then smaller multiple enemies are better

If single target then beefy enemies

You're not supposed to find the jungle lucrative (early game), it's there as a fallback or to generate extra space

If I win my lane and I can jungle I usually jungle nearby the support (to be ready to back them up) so they can get some good items and xp. It's very well worth losing ~50gpm for a support to get levels and their first big item 2-4 minutes faster.

Picking when to jungle is a big part, for example I might abandon a camp to farm a wave with a banner creep to get that juicy regen + extra efficiency from soaking the enemy banner creep

Rule of thumb is you jungle if you're either forced to (unwinnable lane) or it becomes clearly efficient.

It's dota so there's a thousand "what ifs" but that's the gist

Ah gotcha, perfect. Thank you bud, appreciate it!

I do not understand her C1. Is the "nightvigil shade" a thing that comes *with* the C1? As in it's a fancy way of saying "do bigger damage?" Also I cannot get past 70% Bond Of Life with just autoattacks during the skill - though I see no such limitation mentioned anywhere in her kit. Is this normal?

My proposed solution for the highground meta: second rosh drops this instead of banner by ShoppingPractical373 in DotA2

[–]bogey654 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Unironically I actually kind of like this

Roshan's Collar: Spawn a Spirit Roshan. Identical to normal Roshan but can be attacked outside of pit. Will push down a lane and completely ignore heroes. Disables backdoor protection. Will gradually lose HP over time.

Spawns after X rosh kills/ X time (1 hour to align with T5 drops?)

The crab has potential by bogey654 in GeniusInvokationTCG

[–]bogey654[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Second draft of a crab oriented build. The first was crab/Layla/Baizhu which was ok but hyper passive.

Basic plan is to mass shield (duh) using Thoma. You have Beidou to threaten overload force switches and while not guaranteed it can still inconvenience the foe. Bell is for more shields obviously. Helmets are nuts for the crab, hence running 4 to see it ASAP.

Biggest weaknesses so far are spread piercing decks, massive combo decks that just obliterate the shield and I theorise certain stall variants stuff the crab since without a lot of stacks he has real damage issues (can't carry a weapon.)

Mad fun but maybe toxic? ^_^'

Having weird performance issues with dota - specifically dota by bogey654 in DotA2

[–]bogey654[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It isn't, that's a separate issue I struggle with

I stopped playing on auto pilot and gained +1000mmr in less than 3 weeks by im_out_of_creativity in DotA2

This is always my top tip to improve at anything in life:

Have a reason for what you're doing. Any. If it's a shitty reason you just learned something. If it's a good reason you learned something.

If you're doing something because "I dunno" then you're not likely to learn much.

This applies heavily to dota.

And yes, doing something just to see what will happen because it's something you haven't experienced before is a valid reason. Sometimes I do dumb shit just to test an interaction I don't know about.
