General DiscussionCan you guys please share any tips and mechanics not generally known ...

u r right, i am 9k. my tip: get gut. ty for reading.
also, giff refill bottle by fountain buff after tower tp

- the human controling leshrac can get a rampage with 1 hand

- Nature's Prophet can summon treants inside rosh pit without sprout
how?

- Open wounds on Naix + midas heals you
you mean, if cast Open Wounds on a target and then use Midas on in, and you get instantly healed for 50% of target's current HP?

I know this isn't the best tip,because requires Aghs on Lifestealer (4Head)
- you can assimilate a Witch Doctor /w active Voodoo Restoration and the WD will never run out of mana

I wonder what the interaction with Leshrac ult would be, maybe someone knows?

Yea naix can heal instantly with open wounds then using midas. lots of naix players heal using infest :(. what a waste.

for the furion one this is how you do it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aK3DnkF5m-I

im a lil bit too lazy to post everything, so i just focus on timbersaw (guess why, lol)
-you can timberchain not only to the front trees, but also inside the trees if you use the spell properly
-you can use chakram to kill roshan being on the cliff, and if some1 ranged attacks roshan at this point, his agro wont change - he will just remain as close to you as possible and you can basically kill it for free wiout being attacked a single time
-timberchain breaks euls (same as hook and hookshot)
-you can explode land mines without getting damage by timberchaining through them
-if you use timberchain and blink/get hooked/relocated/die with enough bloodstone charges to revive you instantly/etc. immediatly afterwards, you will still hook to the tree timberchain touched first
-stuns interrupt timberchain, but you still move ~100 units forwards even when stunned and deal damage in this area

-if you have soulring and some other item that gives you manapool, you can get mana for free. drop the item that gives u larger mana pool, use soulring, pick up the item again - and boom, you got easy additional mp for nothing.

-you can solorosh as lvl 7-9 enigma if you controll ur edalons properly

-you can dodge land mines with blink if you got correct timing

p.s i thought that torrent stacking on kunkka was patched a looooong while ago. did u test it recently? i may be mistaking.

thanks guys didn't know lots of those mechanics you guys just mentioned

@triplesteal yea I thought kunkka got patched too, but in reborn it works tested it 5 days ago. Invoker's tornado also works in stacking but that hero isnt used much nowadays.

I'm surprised how many people don't understand the difference between spell immunity and magical damage resistance, and some of those people play in VHS.

Spell Immunity makes you immune to the effect of most spells.

Magical Damage Resistance reduces all incoming magical damage.

This is why pudge can dismember you through a BKB, because spell pierces Spell Immunity, but he can't damage you with rot/dismember because rot/dismember only deal magical damage, and with a BKB you have 100% magical damage resistance.

This is also why blademail can't hurt you through a BKB - its return ability is considered to be a spell, which does not pierce spell immunity, so it does not get to apply its PURE damage to you.

-Clockwerk rocket can block spawn creep, but only when the rocket is passing, not the vision after explosion (so the rocket should not go boom when the timer reach .30/.00 at the spawn point)
-WD death ward is reduced by armor and then bounce, if the 1st one targeted is hard armored, the other bounce will be weakened
-WD death ward can attack your deniable friend and deny them
((check mythbuster at youtube maybe))

*You can buy ward even you are not support

When you pop aegis on Meepo you always respAwn at the prime Meepo.

pressing Alt+f4 will make your life brighter.

-Apparently your girlfriend will break up with you if you play DotA instead of spending time with her... :(
-Fuck my life

I'm at work now and will add something later here, but you've missed one more tip regarding healing salve:
You can use healing salve under any incoming damage if its less than 20. Thus you could do it under level 1 Rot (not anymore, cause it got buffed), for e.x.

^good one, I didnt know the threshold is 20

brood spiderlings can deny each other to make new spiderlings

- You can know positions of enemy creep waves by checking the mini-map. If your creeps are between T2 and T1 on mid, so are the enemy. Same goes for safe and off lane. Useful when moving behind enemy lines or diving with certain heroes (TA for example).

- Psi blades spill damage is pure, meaning that damage dealt to primary target will be reduced by the targets armor value and type and then that amount of damage will be dealt to all secondary targets. During HG standoffs criting a creep with Deso can one shot a very tanky hero.

- Puck can turn during Phase Shift. You have to issue a turn command and then use PS. When PS ends Puck will face desired direction allowing better positioning with Dagger.

- Ice Blast can be seen as a red dot on the mini-map or as a blurry "air" in game if it's passing through areas in which you have true sight.

- Splash and cleave are two different things.

ew a srs thread *BLEAHAHA*

- u can tp while going bladefury, ball lightning, ember ulti, earth boulder ball skill

- u can use shiva and shadowblade while channeling

- there is a mute button

- diffusal can dispell omni's repel and euls

- sometimes on the radiant bot lane u can spot icefrog

You can have vision of both rosh pit and the rune area behind it while enemy can't see you while u see them and you can attack roshan from there if you stand at the right spot. Quite useful when solo roshing with huskar (btw you can do it with just brown boots and armlet)

It's probably a bug but whatever.

you can bust a nut while looking at qop or lina

i think you can use a tp when using 2nd spell as Ember Spirit, but if you keep jumping for more time than the tp is casted, it wont work.

qop or lina? what about those luna "shoulder guards"
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

ooh man dont know how to quote ppl comments....lol

but nice tip from og-anaksholeh..........XD

you can check enemy ward and mines with lighting from zeus

it's your hero the one that die and it's only a game

If u play SF and have a techies teammate u can quelling the bomb for souls. kekekekek

^hopefully that crap's gonna get patched

Spectre's Desolate can now Damage Creeps and Catapults if there's nobody from the same faction nearby. Makes last hitting Catapults easier and you can farm neutrals faster. By same faction i mean that if there's a neutral creep and an enemy lane creep/ hero next to each other, both will still get desolate. Desolate will only be disabled if there are two or more units of the same faction (for example 2 neutral creeps or 2 enemy lane creeps).

The 35% increase per jump for Medusa's Mystic snake only count the base damage. For example at level 4 snake does 200 dmg and gains +35% per bounce. First bounce will gain 35% of 200= 70. Second bounce will gain 35% of 200 again, not 35% of 270! this brings it to 340 damage.

Morphling can attack and Cast spells and use items during waveform.

Bane can Deny allied heros and himself with Nightmare.

Any Auras Phoenix has (for example Shiva's Aura and Radiance aura) remain active while in supernova.

Morphling can activate morph while stunned or slept as long as he isnt silenced.

Abaddon can Manually activate Borrowed time while stunned or slept as long as he isn't silenced. It will still passively activate if he is silenced, but the passive activation is disabled by break. Also when Borrowed Time activates it applies a Strong Dispel, removing stuns. silences, break, sleeps and a whole lot of other debuffs

Guys above already gave you some good tips, so..
- The actual max distance of blink is 1200. If used beyond this radius, you will blink only by ~900 units.
- For Tiny: if you toss an enemy right after using avalanche on him, he will receive twice as much dmg from avalanche
- You can instakill courier with Axe's Culling Blade
- You can pick up items and runes while using Ball Lightning
- Invoker's Tornado applies debuff on enemy heroes. It also purges the runes effects.
- You can evade Lion's and Lina's ulti by usind Euls right after their cast (other options: pucks phaseshift, ODs astral imprisonnent, bkb if linas ulti is not upgraded).
- You can evade enemy projectiles by using blink dagger, qops and ams blink, storm spirit ball lightning, embers ulti and 2nd skill, miranas jump, morph waveform, pucks illusory orb and phaseshift, activating Alchs ulti, weavers ulti etc.
- If you move while Sandstorming and use it again (gap is about 1,5-2 secs), the Sandstorm visual effect's position will not change.
- WRs Shackleshot cannot be disjointed.

I will also think of something else when I get home. You might want to check up on Dota 2 Laboratory youtubes channel, to ensure that youre not inventing a bicycle. Or you could take some tips from there.

Spirit-breaker:

Mechanic: If you have a desolator, all enemy units charged through by you will have the corruption debuff.

Common tips: You can cast BKB/BM/Dust/Empowering haste while charging.

Not so common tips: Nether strike has a decent range. You can initiate with it sometimes rather than with charge.

Rune buffs like Haste work just as any regular buff, and can be dispelled by any purge or by making the hero invulnerable (eul, tornado). Casting Demonic Purge on the overly confident enemy with Haste will drop him from 522 to 200 movespeed and get him killed.

The short invulnerability time in Bane's Nightmare can be quite easily used to dodge projectiles targeted at yourself or allies, eg. Nightmare your ally about to get hit by Alch Coconut to negate the damage and the stun (and instantly dispel it after Coconut lands).

Disruption doesn't remove debuffs like Last Word from the targeted enemy. Instead Last Word will pop normally after its timer, which will be immediately after Disruption ends if properly timed.

Disassembling HotD denys your creep

@Triplesteal
No, you will tp properly even when you tp out in the middle of sleight

interaction you described works when using sleight + remnants, if you jump to the remnant before sleight ends, you will end up back at the "sleight" remnant
