It's getting to the absurd point. Hard to tell who's who at a quick glance with some of those.
I was too busy staring at ALL THAT JUNK she's got IN HER TRUNK.

I got a common windrunner bow. So they ARE dropping. 
No custom animation though.

Bloodseeker is a great counter against invis heroes in general. It helps most never carry tps.
In your tier, maybe.

Yes.
Funny you say that, in the game before I was a Slark and there was a Bloodseeker. Got away a couple of times thanks to tps!
He was one of the first Dota 2 heroes we saw, waaaay back when those screenshots leaked. Fond memories.
WB KAPPS
Because he never bought any stat boosting items at all until like 30 mins in. He had a tough go of it vs a stiff breeze. He didn't even buidl treads :9
Looks terrible, MoM on a hero with one of the lowest HP pools in the game and no hard CC?

mask of madness against rhasta is suicide.
I enjoyed a game today against a sven who thought he was safe with mask + bkb, me playing slardar. I think he dropped in like 3 seconds.
Most slarks I've had love to rush skadi, which is still terrible. I'd wager that 90% of the slarks I play with/against farm up battlefury when they play bounty hunter as well.
If it works for him, he should keep doing it. I just don't like it, it doesn't have a good buildup and most slarks will afk farm it instead of ganking.
MILKMAN CONFIRMED GARBAGE SLARK
It was happening to me with my Greevil, but I did one of those file integrity confirms or whatever for Dota 2 in Steam and it seemed to fix my problem.
Just had the worst fucking game.. I was mid Necrolyte and off to a flying start with early kills and really high GPM but the feeding at side lane stopped our win. Definitely at least partially my fault for not being mobile enough but I thought for sure all the tanking and healing I'd be able to do early in the game would carry the team. Not so.
Edit: second attempt was much better (wanted to try the build mentioned on the previous page. Arcane -> Mek -> Bloodstone/change boots)
So, after a certain someone I was playing with was having counterward problems at bot rune, I made this and was told I should also put it here:
Should be noted that if you suspect a ward to be in a specific location and want to also ward that general area, always try to kill their ward first (that is, sentry first) so that they don't see you place yours.
edit: quoted image
edit2: I left out the ward to the right of the radiant medium camp, but that one is pretty straightforward to figure out, the only thing to note is you might want to move the sentry down a bit in case they warded the middle area just for vision behind the trees there (though if they did it right you cant really cover both spots with 1 sentry).
edit3: 109 says there's a spot between red and purple you can sentry to cover both. I'm still pretty hontrash so I haven't tried it out, but it's never really posed a problem for me since its usually pretty clear when a team will have a preference for one spot over the other.

Yeah his juking and wasting their time is amazing. Orange taking this so calmly and intelligently. Completely outdoing iG's strategy.

Yeah, the texturing on it looks so bland and blurry. I suppose it could work, but not like that.
