I wouldn't say really good. A BKB is really good. Shadow Blade you're hoping they have no detection.

Yeah the idea is nice but I think other items are better. Hell I think a mek is better.
As for the MMR thing. It seems to balance out the calibrating people on teams normally. I dunno, I just think a SF with 3 - 15 and a DP with 3 - 13 it was really annoying. Even more annoying when it was the one game I decided to go support. Carrys no carry 'n all that.

It really is a good item, you could always combine those.
Some of my best team fights as a support have been while invisible as witchdoctor channelling my ult haha.
Hi..
I am starting this with my bro and some friends, I have been playing LOL for a long time and going to give this a go.
Now i had a few games last night and i suck, i never seem to have any gold. We got owned hard with zuse and razor. what is the best way to get to grips witht the game. Also is it like LOL with top mid jungle carry and support.
Sorry for the noob questions, if it any worth i was good at LOL, not so much with DOTA haha.

The standard lanes in Dota are:
2-1-2 (Two offlane, one middle, two safe lane)
1-1-3 (one offlane, one middle, tri-lane safe lane)
1-1-1-2 (one off lane, one middle, one jungle, two safe lane)
In LoL I assume you need to last hit to accumulate gold? It's the same in Dota except if you keep dying before you spend that gold, then you will be losing large chunks of it.

This will answer pretty much all your questions. Bit long but worth it if you plan on getting into it.

So how do you know what lane set up to use lol. would it just depends what the other team has gone.

. Only downside is the UI seems to take a lot of the screen lol

Communicate with your team. If this isn't possible then assume 2-1-2 by default. It's the easiest one to do with minimal communication.

I know people might not agree with me but real talk.
As an Ex Phantom Lancer main, i find his new changes made him even more OP against some setups. It's borderline impossible to tell which is which now and his illusion rate seems to be a LOT more likely to spawn, which really sucks.
Mainly because this was single draft and i got given phantom, i felt the game was an absolute breeze, and then i played against him in ranked and Christ a life it was absolutely terrifying.

I can't help in any useful way as I'm still starting out myself. But I've wondered how easy it is to switch between MOBAs as a friend at work keeps telling me to play LoL and I figured once I've somewhat mastered Dota then I should have a good platform to start LoL. So interesting to hear that you found that isn't so, at least LoL -> Dota 2.
Impossible to tell which is which? I find it much easier. Especially when he uses his W. Atleast he doesn't have stealth now, but hes a lot worse to fight against.
If you're expecting to master dota any time soon, you're going to have a bad time. And Dota2 is much harder than LoL. Should convince your friend to play dota instead of you playing LoL, no need to downgrade.

Well, 'mastered' might have been a stronger word than I was looking for!
I've tried, he's played it and hates it with a passion.

Turn rate?
http://dota2.gamepedia.com/Turn_rate
Not entirely true
We stomped the majority of LoL games we played, cant really do that if you are just starting dota.Just tried BS as a support, it's really OP being able to spam that bloodrage for no mana cost. Can help my carry last hit with the extra dmg and sustain their life with the 25% heal, so strong!
I love how Rupture synergies with bloodright. Put rupture on the enemy Lycan, and then cast bloodright straight after, he is now forced to move or take dmg and a silence anyway. Most likely see only one point in thirst now and skill it last. The global vision is always -30% no matter what the level, the tiny amount of dmg increase and move speed isn't worth it over the two other skills now.
