Somewhere, behind that big and hairy chest, Half-Life 3 is hidden. It's there....

Little too much tsundere for Dota.
Yeah professional competitive teams will do that shit, but matchmaking teams? In reality people just don't do any of that shit to stop Ursa getting Rosh.
So I need to get over my self after I found my calling hey? Hater-Bot.
All this stuff you said I've said like when? all I said that hes a good pusher, right click hero to destroy buildings and he kills Rosh for free.
Protip: Don't play against milk as Ursa.
Fixed
Depends on your need. If you're a support of some kind, you may want them on Strength for the added health and health regen it offers. In Enchantress' case, the added damage from Int treads is probably not all that much, especially when you consider how much damage Impetus does out of the box. If you need the extra mana and regen early on, that could be worth it, just make sure you have your Nature's Attendants handy.
My first game with Ursa was against Milk. Was a good game, we took mid and bot racks early on by right click buildings, he was hitting really hard but I did not want to kill him but buildings instead, we won.
Team was like get BLINK! I was like NEVER.

Haven't watched it yet... But the guys over at WoDota better get their shit together and start uploading those Dota 2 weeklys they've been talking about.
edit: don't take what I wrote as an indicator of quality; it might be great, I just don't know yet!

Pudge tp to hook shot seems lulzy
It is? I'm sure I saw people complaining about it yesterday still.
If it's not, then valve is pulling a supreme troll by letting me download on the wrong partition >_>
Edit: Ok - Crazy beta-ness resulted in irrational exuberance. Apparently activating a playdota giveaway while in OSX will prompt the usual steam activation cycle and provide you with the option to install. Directly taking me to the library/downloads section and it brought down what looks like the entire client. Except there is no OSX application within.
Only after the fact was I provided the "not available for your platform" message. Derpy derp.

you didn't miss any news. it's not out.
Would love that too. A friend of mine and I just got into the beta and are sort of just stumbling around, having fun with the game.
So is it better to not scale Lion's ult then? At 650 mana, if you take it at every level, you can't cast it along with earth spike and hex which are (arguably?) more important in a team. Should you just take one level for decent ganking/mid game burst then just take stats?
why wouldn't you take it? You're not losing anything by leveling up. So you don't cast it every teamfight, it doesn't matter. You'll have it when you need it.

guess I need to find a better source.
Did I fix it?

It only costs 200 mana at level 1, 420 at level 2 and 650 at level 3.
You should always take it whenever it's available because it contributes to 75% of your dps, your teammates will be relying on that one big nuke on the priority target.
Most of the time, team fights won't last long enough for you to worry about running out of mana after using Finger of Death, and even then, what is a 2 second stun going to do for you that 850 damage could not?
If you're expecting a team fight you should be conserving your mana rather than using earth spike on creeps or whatever. Mana drain ranged creeps when its safe to to keep your pool topped off.

Yeah.
That's actually been around for awhile. I thought it was a warning of an offending player being reported and suggesting they tone their douchebaggery down.

Ah, that makes sense. The game I was playing the team never really came together for one big fight so it was almost constant small skirmishes through most of the match. Using the ult on one person would basically leave me empty for any other fights.
I'll chalk that up to low skill bracket.
Just got off 2 fountain hooks with my friend. 1 on Ursa who was doing Roshan, saw him go in, which was really funny. Another one on Slardar.
When that killed him he said he was gonna report me for abuse. Which kinda makes me not wanna do it again :/
It's not really abuse though is it? Think I read this worked in Dota 1 as well, and it counts as a mechanic?

Not abuse, don't sweat it. Valve specifically left this bug in because they found it hilarious, and it's impractical and difficult to do.
