which dota hero is this
It's not a direct copy of anyone.
But essentially, she has the ultimate of Wisp, the Mana Infusion of KotL, an aoe-heal of which I can find no direct comparison and a fairly long range wide-area stun.
cool, thanks!
forgot to use windwalk there though, haven't played brewmaster that much lately =(
Scenario:
You have Luna and Jakiro against a solo Treant in your safe lane. Jakiro is zoning out the Treant, denying waves etc.
On the bottom lane you have a Slardar and Warlock up against Undying, Lich and Spectre. The Spectre is farming at the same speed as Luna. Slardar and Warlock are being zoned out.
What do you do?
(You have a Death Prophet (who doesn't put a point in silence) against a Rubick in mid for what it's worth)

Better than failed farm in a 2v1 against BH.
I wasn't gonna need the silence for my lane, I was hoping to get to 9 quick, but everyone got drawn mid. Great. Not to mention my silence was only necessary for a grand total of 2 situations which wouldn't have helped considering out situation; the problems were hardly due to the lack of it.
Chaos Knight brings out the salt in everyone.
Me (CK) plus Zeus roam jungle to find Doom. He Bolts him, I rift and then hit stun for 4 seconds. Gives enough time for Zeus to hit him with another Chain and Bolt by the time he got out of it and died. Doom is then salty about the 4 second stun after which he always Doomed either me or Zeus.

He didn't have failed farm, I just failed to help push BH out of lane. Ikuu's farm wasn't particularly bad.
See what happens when you didn't give any context? I can just as easily make accusations.
The problem that last game was hardly the silence. We just needed a scapegoat and I was the easiest target, even though contextually the lack of silence was far from the problem.
My immediate reaction would be to have Jakiro max out Liquid Fire asap, have Warlock rotate top, and single pull a catapult wave. Then push extremely hard into the t1 and t2 towers, and by that time DP should be close to 6. Proceed to force teamfights in mid with 4 or 5 heroes and force the enemy to react. Sack the Slardar and basically use him as an amp-bot for taking down Spectre and Undying. It's kind of an ugly lineup on your side though, but you might be able to push out Spec before it's too late.
dat fatal bonds + torrent/cleave
I'm more worried about the lack of good in your soul.
Killing the Little Sisters; you heartless bastard.
No way, you weren't the scapegoat. We all had so many issues tonight, I think I played the worst 4 games I have in a long time tonight. I played like shit in all 4. We were just highlighting that not skilling silence is so bad. I fucking played a shitty puck earlier, Wes will tell you about my awful ganktop-turned-tripledeath. That probably helped lose us that game.
I think we just need to learn some communication stuff and actually doing things. We all have different oppinions on what to do and we do nothing. We are reeaallly passive a lot of the time, and not decisive enough.
Dota gonna dota.
Edit - Thanks ikkuu, now I actually feel much better. But seriously, you all better fucking nut up next time I play, otherwise imma lose my shit.
The second Warlock sees our heroes together he lets the ulti rip while Kunka prepares Torrent and Ship. Warlock Bond, Golem, Cleave, Ship and Torrent caused 3-4 of our heroes to be insta gibbed with only Tiny surviving.

At what level?

Lv 1. Lich/Undying/Spec can't do shit before lv 4.

did dota just explode? I got disconnected from my server and had no way of rejoining, and now I can't view match histories or profiles or anything. My brother is having the same issue.

Valves 5 star community managers at work
Lich deny & Living Armor from Treant at level 1. What can Slardar, Warlock and Jakiro do against that?
yep, kotl + tranq nerfs fixed the hero
New cosmetics tops, and even thats unlikely.
Also, Valve confirmed the lore in the cosmetic items is canon.

It's okay! Hopefully you'll do good in this one!

That's pretty neat, do the item makers come up with the lore or is that something valve does?

For starters, going deny at lv 1 would be a mistake in a defensive trilane, it would just make killing the tower easier and you have a gimped hero for the long ass interval it takes to hit lv 2 in a trilane. Your tri has 2 aoe stuns at lv1, they've got 0 and a spectre that hits for nothing. You can basically just pick at the tower avoiding fights, and if undying jumps you it's basically a fight he cant win unless you clump up and get multi-hit by decay.
It's an unwinnable lane for them, their only option is to pull and hope to get levels, but that's actually what you want, since it'll let you get the tower even earlier.
Here's hoping!
EDIT: Sorry I bailed 10 mins in but my roommate had a pretty severe panic attack and insisted on me taking him to the ER. Just got back and he's mostly fine now. I didn't have a choice guys
Mana isn't the problem but the CD is a joke.

No, opened from the Anuxi chest.
Unusuals don't drop.
Agreed, I think I lost one game with him out of 10? If you win a fight at their tier 2 you can rax them easily, a win at tier 3 is a dead ancient.
And there goes my hope that I would never buy a key. :-/
good luck with that
