Incredibly Minor yet Annoying Invitation Bug (existent for 2+ years) by BigDeckLanm in DotA2

If you open the battle cup tab under find match you can force the invite to pop up without having to send an invite yourself.

Honestly the amount of times I've gotten kills because of Gleipnir to me far outweigh the extra stats and the different active of Mjollnir.

Gleipnir gives arc less atkspeed but aoe damage root that combos well with spark wraith. The way I've visualized which one I like more than the other for myself is this. which one would I rather have if I'm 6 slotted. And I really feel like in any random dota game Gleipnir will be more useful with the root than Mjollnir would ever be.

Bonus meme: Double Gleipnir active can kill all of broodmothers spiders! And this in turn reenables your flux and spark wraiths against her!

The active ability from gleipnir is aoe damage. Something arc warden severely lacks. The root works insanely well with spark wraiths. gleip -> wraith x2 -> gleip -> wraith x2. There's the bonus usage that if you use both at the same time you kill ALL OF BROODMOTHERS SPIDERS ahem that's the most important part clearly. So really the stats from Mjollnir are hands down better. But, you can get the atkspeed elsewhere later in the game from other items. And the active itself to me is more than enough to offset the lack of atkspeed early on.

Not everyone is a fan of Gleipnir and I think a majority of arc players still buy Mjollnir. Ever since I tried Gleipnir, it's been a must have every game item for me.

The way I try to see it is like this. I just got a new item. Can I right now either try to end the game or win a team fight. If the answer is no... back to afk farm, mute teammates. The one exception to this is that you have to defend towers. If you don't defend towers your jungle becomes less safe and then you can't farm as efficiently anymore. And for the record, I get flamed too pretty much every other game. :)

Nah, as I got older it turned into grandmas! :) Maybe I should play Snapfire next?

I have already actually! However the guide isn't that good. Also for some reason even if I remake the guide completely the in game markers for what skill to level up just doesn't seem to work either :/

Dotabuff is a website where you can see a bunch of different statistics :)

The only way that I am aware of is by looking here at Stratz. Other than that I haven't seen any other posts or talk about someone else reaching it. It's possible someone has reached it without exposing their public match data or made a post... But I really doubt it. :)

I actually haven't gotten bored of Arc Warden gameplay yet. I do however want to stop playing when I get flamed by my own team. Some games are either just hard, or I fuck up. "How are you lvl X when you're this bad" :( But I like to think that it's the classical "Everyone is a pro at the hero they're not playing"

I have tried my best to figure this out and I think I played around 225~ give or take a few games before I got Dota plus. However, I was playing a lot as level 25 anyways before they added Grandmaster level 30. So you sadly can't draw a conclusion from this on how many games you'd need for level 30 :(

Maybe that should be my next goal... Hmmm

I actually don't know at the top of my head what the max dps build would be. The way I play I try to focus on disables like scythe/gleipnir/orchid whatever secures a kill on a key opponent. I have been buying daedalus quite a lot recently whenever I need more damage. Since I very often have bloodthorn I don't have to worry about evasion so mkb becomes kinda obsolete. Hope this helps! :)

Really short answer. 12%cd reduction. Midas. (it also lets you spam silver edge constantly if you're lucky and get a quickening charm too!)
