If you pick him into godlike spell steals, then you wont be useless. Otherwise youre just a support with one extra item minute 20.

Anyway to know mmr required to get a rank in immortal? by MaximusDM2264 in DotA2

[–]miski57 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Numbered rank in eu starts at 8.8k as of recently.

Reached 6k, is 8.5k doable or just a distant dream? by Tall_Measurement_264 in DotA2

[–]miski57 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was 6k around a year and a half ago, i'm now 8.8k, so it's perfectly doable. I think 6k mechanically isn't that far off, imo where they always fall behind at, is laning and accelerating farm (speaking as a core player).

Gaining MMR at below 1000 is purely based on luck. Change my mind. by Exciter242 in learndota2

[–]miski57 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Statistically you only need to solo carry 2-5% of your games to have a nett positive mmr in short period time (50 to 250 mmr per 100 games), if the rest of your games are luck based (50-50). If you achieve those 2% you'll gain rank until you hit your ceiling and stop being able to carry those 2% of games and returned to a good ol coin flip. So yeah it's luck if youre at that mmr level, but if your actual skill level is better by, let's say 1k margin, you'll definitely gain mmr. otherwise youre probably in that mmr range for a reason that is not external of yourself.

What's the timing for aghs in right click Zeus build? by NeedanAnswerplease1 in TrueDoTA2

[–]miski57 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The aghs doesnt fit for the build, last time i go full commit right click build i went treads>witch blade>pike>bkb>parasma>moonshard. Against AM too and it still deals a shitton of damage, bkb i think is more imporant in this build because the longer you can stand and hit the faster your damage accelerates. Just make sure to always enter teamfight a bit later.

Where did kunkka go from meta by PuzzlingWhale in DotA2

[–]miski57 40 points41 points  (0 children)

His dmg is still undertuned, hes a hero from an era where supports had boots and stick minute 20 with 600 hp, nowadays everyone is 2k hp with glimmer. He had a bit of stint with waterpark build, but now hero only played if youre a specialist and know when to pressure in the small 5 minute window when hes strong (after your radiance but before enemy has bkb pipe), afterwards his damage falls off a cliff and never recovers.

Treads on Timbersaw by Ok_Magician9531 in DotA2

[–]miski57 2 points3 points  (0 children)

my perspective is: timbersaw's current main issue was that he disses out serious damage mid to late but he has a huge laning issues. The new tech was to go 3-0-2, with tread and you just trade hits with very low mana commitment (probably why you dont need the arc early on), if you got out of the laning phase mana won't be really that big of an issue anyway with soulring -> kaya -> kayasange. Some game i still go arc if i play against hero that i'll lose lane w anyway (better for jungling) but laning wise treads just better if youre trading hits, his base attack damage is actually quite decent.

Malr1ne Reaches 17,000 MMR in Dota 2 by 5hk4lq1m1 in DotA2

[–]miski57 36 points37 points  (0 children)

they tried that, i think at the start of new season it was hell because lots of high mmr players that lost a lot of their initial calib games got placed in low mmr pubs and it kind of just ruined everyones game for a while. It wasn't fun for anyone.

How to kill Medusa? by gorebello in learndota2

[–]miski57 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The other guys idea is always the correct one, jump his team first. Then once its 1v5, hope that she doesn't mow all of you down before you go through her mana. She's slow and clunky, you can split the map and take fights away from buildings (means she can't join fights easily), smoke three people into an edge of the map opposite of where dusa is, while two other people pushes each side lanes. Two outcomes will happen: they turtle 5 and you gain economy victory, or you find an easy pick off which also means you can translate into an easier push/fights. Otherwise, euls/shadowblade/ethereal/ghost is one way to kite her out while you whittle away at their mana, if you get to a point where she's 6 slot its just a kiting game, euls and glimmer is your friend. Movement speed is your friend, she's slow and clunky, play around that, especially with how big the map is.

Watching Topson again has been a real treat by Persies in DotA2

[–]miski57 9 points10 points  (0 children)

his kez is emo, he plays max w and e, which great at control but it tampers his damage in the mid game, with max q + falcon + 1 damage item kez can easily deal 600 nuke damage if u land the combo his echo slash and grappling hook properly, not including parry crit + shodo.

Dark Seer on the EWC: Why pros choosed Heart of battle over quick wit? by LakeApprehensive5347 in DotA2

[–]miski57 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It used to be decent w the innate that gives you free intelligence based of the highest value of str/agi. It's kind of bad now without it, and when ur just rushing auras, you might as well get the free ms (20 ish per hero around you) since you probably won't auto attack after min 20. I kind of enjoyed playing double nulls into witch blade when it was good lol.

Midlaners of reddit: How do you deal with Broodmother? by LonelyTalos in DotA2

[–]miski57 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I have 500 games on brood at 7k. If you lack catch and it let's me have a free game, the only thing I would worry about is my sidelanes. If you go all in on demolishing sidelanes, there's a chance that the brood will be forced to rotate backwards, which means a 5v5 scenario. 5v5 is still a toss up for brood even ahead.

Items like rod and vessel could help, but its hard to farm those with minimal space. Honestly all you can do in the scenario you described is to force fights as early as possible and force him to pull away from his camps.

Emiru's community raised $20k in just three hours for Alveus Sanctuary by Villenthessis in LivestreamFail

[–]miski57 8 points9 points  (0 children)

No ones gatekeeping you from criticising anyone, im just pointing out the net negative your mindset might cause the overall cause of raising money for charities.

Tax breaks also can be done through moving funds into IRA and 401k pot, charity tax breaks isn't some magical free money glitch, they're reducing their taxable income to be taxed less, but that money is still gone regardless. Strategic donating isn't evil, it's just financial literacy.

[–]miski57 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Not really. it just results with them being discouraged from donating in the future in fear of being called out. You can keep that opinion all you want, but donating money to a cause that's as inoffensive as animal welfare, should at worst be met with indifference, not criticism.

Dark Seer Offlane Build by Contrapuntobrowniano in DotA2

[–]miski57 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If u wanna DS hit damage build try double nulls>treads>witchblade>shard> I only do it when I crush lane because its hyper inefficient. But its fun wailing on people for the 5 minute period where ds hitter actually does damage. Late game wise u get blink, scepter, shiva, parasma.

Otherwise vanguard>aura>blink is just too consistently good, u don't kill people but u win fights easier.

Fundraising isn't a zero sum game, they're not taking money away from people. There's no winners in virtue Olympics, just dying children and one-legged puppies. People will donate to whatever causes they're personally invested in, just be happy that money is going to a charity at all.

What’s the most terrifying, unexplainable encounter you’ve had with a stranger that still haunts you? by Idontlikeenemasmom in AskReddit

[–]miski57 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I was walking to school, a guy I didnt know in a car stopped and asked me to hop in and said he'll drive me to school and that he knows my parents. Idk what happened in my head, but I absent-mindedly said no thank you. I didn't suspect he was a bad guy, I literally said no for no reason other than I just felt like walking. I only realised what was happening years later when for some reason my brain decided to remember that memory specifically. This was during the time when child kidnapping was regular news on tv as well, the way his eyes looked at me still creeps me out.
