*** Official Dota 2 Thread ***

You can't get frustrated at ability draft it is literally the mode to **** around on. Last time I played it I picked QoP Blink, Surge, Timewalk and Rearm on Tinker. It was pretty hilarious how quickly I moved across the map. I also bought Blink dagger, MoM, Force Staff, Phase Boots.

Well, when i say frustrating, i mean it as we were winning right up until the last 10 minutes, and i was bossing the damage....although i had no idea what items to buy, which is probably why i became an easy squish at the end.

Apart from that it was a good laugh :D

I was NP with tidebringer, teleport, trees and macropyre (I picked the ult last, didnt have a lot to choose from, it would have worked really well with slardar and the chrono, but slardar was awfuuuuul at chronos...) I think i had desolator, daedulus, orchid (for their guy with weavers sukuchi or whatever its called), bkb (they had a lot of stun). Great fun having tidebringer on a ranged hero.

On ability draft i get a bit like a deer in the headlights with items....often just experiment i suppose.

Dotabuff is pretty great, I often view it to judge my stats to see which areas I can improve on. Often nice to confirm the baddie in your team was indeed awful by checking his hero dmg, last hits, tower dmg etc.
 
Just want to make sure I have this right.

Unique attack modifiers do not stack. For example last night on random draft I chose a very rare pick for me "Sniper"

Went Phase > MoM > Yasha > Mjollnir > Deso

Now when I got the deso, I dropped the MoM and the Deso and then picked up the Deso first. So am I right in saying that the Deso negative armour now takes effect and the MoM lifesteal isn't working but the attack/movment speed still do?

Multiple modifiers do not stack; for each attack one modifier always takes priority. The order of priority is as follows:

1. Conditional Modifiers - Modifiers that only occur on some attacks and are not controlled by the player, such as Maelstrom (chance-based) and Mjollnir (chance-based). If a Conditional Modifier fails to proc then a Standard or Ability Modifier will be present on the attack (if applicable)

2. Ability Modifiers - Modifiers granted by Hero abilities*

3. Standard Modifiers - Modifiers granted by items, with the oldest one in a Hero's inventory taking priority (priority can be shifted by dropping an item and picking it up again)

* UAMs from hero abilities, such as Viper's Poison Attack, will only be overridden by conditional modifiers if they are set to Autocast. If they are Manually cast, they cannot be overridden.

There are few known exceptions: Eye of Skadi or Orb of Venom, and Lifesteal can be active at the same time. (Lifesteal is granted by Morbid Mask, Helm of the Dominator, Mask of Madness, or Satanic.) Eye of Skadi will also stack with Clinkz Searing Arrows, though only if autocast (not manually cast).

So yeah, pretty much works as you said, negative armour should work and the lifesteal stops working from MoM as long as you pick up the desolator first.
 
"Tinker why you keep going back to fountain" "Tinker noob"

Wow... just wow.

had someone have a go at me for going back to fountain too much at mid (was playing clockwerk), even though the only time i was going back was after a kill (WHICH I GOT) to replenish health/mana because my bottle was empty/i had no other form of heals..

Some right idiots about!
 
Had a truly horrific game as Doom, team steup wasn't that grand but I just played poorly too, wasn't a pretty site.

On the flipside stayed up for one more which is normally an error but had my first game as Bristleback and loved it. Went 16/7 and really enjoyed the hero, really effective when I played him hyper aggressive he's really good at disrupting teams. Someone else to start practicing with! :)
