Yes and yes. Any movement they will take damage, only exception is Storm Spirits ult as it makes him immune to everything.

Not true, there is a limitation placed on movement over time. It is 1300 distance in 0.25 seconds so I believe that means that the following won't cause damage:

Void time walk
Furion TP
Chen send back
etc

You get the deal
 
Been working my way through the hero challenge and been stuck on OD for maybe 5 matches, each match leaving me with disgusting stats!

Then I had this fantastic game:

Don't think I did anything different other than take the mid rather than let anyone else!

Had a similar experience the other night as Brewmaster, loving this game...so many times I screw up everything but it's worth it when I get games like that :D :o
 
Pretty sure I'm in love with PA.

What a hero.
 
Nice games with PA there Murray. Any tips for playing that hero? I find that it takes me a while to get going. I think I'm just not getting farm quick enough and nailing the last hits (try to use the dagger here if I'm being kited out by ranged heroes).
 
I really like to just get some early farm(phase, pms, wand, aquila) and then start fighting. I'd be careful of jumping in too early, its a good idea to just sit back throwing daggers at them for harass until someone initiates. Since if you get focused first you'll probably die when you don't have much items.

Item build all depends on the game really but bkb and basher are pretty core items most games.

But yeah, last hitting with her at the start can be a bit tricky. I suggest having a few attempts at the last hit training using her.
 
PA seems to be a main pick in pub games. Sadly just abandoned one because our pa was something like 1 - 10. Just no point.
 
I don't really farm much as PA. She is very much a fighting hero and not an afk farm hero.

You can tell by my amount of last hits that I don't really spend much time hitting creeps.
 
I tend to farm enough that I have Phase>Battlefury and then I'm ready to go an try get some of the squishy heroes or set up a kill on the enemy carry. Fairly straightforward with a slow, jump on and then have everyone piling in damage.

Don't tend to build basher on PA, might start trying that out as could be pretty helpful with the stun.
 
Played PA for the first time recently as part of my All Hero Challenge. Really enjoyed her.
It probably helped that we won, but at the same time I think I did my bit helping us win.

Not going to pretend I had a game as good as any of Murray's, but for a first time I was happy enough. (http://www.dotabuff.com/matches/896877510)

Made a nice change following my previous 4 games!
Randomed Magnus twice in a row! (All Random games)
I do not like Magnus!
Then played Clockwerk twice in a row to start my All Hero Challenge. I got flamed in the first 5 minutes by 2 Germans on and English server because I didn't know how to play Clockwerk (I had told them I hadn't played him before). Finished the match with as many kills as the 2 of them combined (http://www.dotabuff.com/matches/896645949, the Sven and Windranger).

I do like Axe though, picked him by mistake (timer ran out) but really enjoyed him. (http://www.dotabuff.com/matches/897331069)

Current All Hero Challenge is Warlock. Not liking Warlock, not sure what I should be doing. Is he Carry or Support? Can his Ult be used on towers?

Following that I have Chen. From what I can gather that will be fun...
 
Warlock is support mainly, although you can play farming warlock and try and get aganims and refresher asap.

His ult doesn't damage the towers when it drops, but the golem itself can hit the towers.

His upheaval spell is amazing during team fights such a good slow.

He is all about the ult though, fatal bonds and then drop the rock on as many heroes as possible.
 
Had a decent team and got it done :)

Now have Chen and then Keeper of the Light. If there's a Dota god, I don't think they like me...

Later randomed a Zeus. Awful game (I finished 10/8/13).
I was in middle lane after our Clockwerk went on a wander (I believe Zeus often goes mid but I didn't want to argue). I then saw 2 enemies on our bottom lane, so moved th camera to have a look. Saw our heroes were getting beaten so waited until one enemy was within health range of my Ulti. When I was sure he was I Utli'd and killed him and damaged the other. In the mean time the ally that was fighting the enemy I killed died (which I didn't realise until after as I was looking at the enemies health bar).
Our Elder Titan (5/13/10) then gets on my case saying I'm only using the Ult to get kills.
First time I've used Zeus (and often they don't seem to worry about getting the kill, I don't usually care who gets it as long as someone does), so I was wondering what the done thing is with the Ulti? Should I have used it straight away to reduce enemy health and risked nobody getting the kill or wait until I'm sure even if it costs us a death?

Apparently I was reported for it and I was just wondering if that counts as using a skill to the detriment of the team. Which I would consider to be more like our clockwerk did when he blocked my escape path with his cogs.

Just use it to help/ensure kills. Use it when you think is right and don't worry about your team mates crying if it's helping you win.


Anyone else noticed Techies mania calming? 6 all pick games and not seen him once, he's so easy to counter especially when played averagely like he is in most pubs that people seem to he stopping already. Took less time than most new hero spam.
 
Hey Anuraj doesn't normally play carrys so we should be showing our support.

You go Anuraj. If you want to right click Rosh outside the pit you do it! New meta.
