Clockwerk is still really fun to play.

Except for the parts when you accidentally trap your teammates on the wrong side of the cogs.

Have you checked out hard support clock? It's so much fun to zone. I just max battery assault, get rocket flare and ult, and not worry about cogs unless there's a reason to. It's super effective to keep the slow/stun and damage up at low movespeed with just battery assault and body blocking. Get cogs when people start to be able to escape

Took me longer than it should to realize that doubling up on armor rings is the way to go for those melee supports who just want to run at people all game.

Build what your team needs, he's pretty versatile in that way. As was mentioned, he's no longer a blink and die hero, so building auras, crest and vessel are all options. Drums, greaves, pipe and vlads are all great depending on yours and the enemies team comps.

Don't forget the shard if the enemy has dispels. And if you need a dispel of your own, euls and lotus are both good for the hero.

I finished the crown fall map, I'm assuming the candlemaker location will open up with a future act?

Haven't used my coin discount. The arcanas are still 40 something Aussie dollars after the diiscount which is still more than the first arcanas originally released for. Dunno of i go the candy pack for free or maybe just grab a few of each chest. My candy rerolls have all been rear end.

Man, I just did a terrible DK offlane game with a P4 Venge. From minute zero is was chatting that he had me muted from a previous game since I'm toxic, I don't remember him at all. We were against a Lifestealer and Mirana. He was livid I didn't skill stun. What is the point? Like we're going to get a kill on on LS when every time Mirana is just going to arrow me from fog if I go in. The Venge skilled the aura, so the lane was always super deep, never stacked, never pulled, and kept taking last hits. The entire game he just voice chatted how badly I was playing.

I went Midas because my dumpster lane, and we were actually doing pretty good until the GD Venge swapped in their Blademail Centuar with Lifestealer infect about three times in a row while we tried to def HG. Fortunately our sniper played at melee range and killed himself on return/blade mail every time so it was a quick game.

So a friend of mine gifted me the kid invoker set, I am not a mid player but I'm trying him pos 4 and he's stupid fun, I'm pretty handy with sunstrike even at level 1 and tornado is such a great spell, people don't account for the dispel

I did a couple matches just now, and won, wondered why the heck I'm not getting crownfall tokens. Guess what? The event's over! I'm sure it's a mistake but nice one Valve.

https://www.reddit.com/r/DotA2/comments/1chzjas/crownfall_is_over_thx_for_playing/ posted:

Valve literally forgot to extend event end time. Source - game code
"event_end_time" "1714600800" // Wednesday, May 1, 2024 3:00:00 PM GMT-07:00
"expiration_date" "1714600800" // Wednesday, May 1, 2024 3:00:00 PM GMT-07:00
So the event was amazing thx Valve <3
Edit:
Clownfall released!(Once again) Hope this is not just a cosmetic patch

Edit: It's fixed but it looks like I'm out of luck on the tokens I would have earned, nice.

Doing extremely well with lion suck build, recommended to all MMR lovers. You do first have to identify the draft before embarking on the journey, if you are the initiator you have to dump the suck plan and get a blink as usual.
If you HAVE an initiator, and hopefully some tank, and or teammates like drow, Zeus, viper, etc, who starve for mana, this build is quite godlike. Even better if the enemy has mana drain vulnerable hero such as tide, bristleback, death prophet etc.

Your positioning with this has to be such that you are NOT ever initiated on, you are always waiting to counter initiate.

Start tangos sent Regen ring windlace. First buy tranqs for lane. Second buy wraith band. Possible third buy of wraith band or delay as needed. 1-1-4 skill build. Ideally shard at 15. Ghost Sceptre next if appropriate for the game as you can ethereal - stun - suck for virtual invulnerability. I take the ult gives HP and mana drain slows talents for this build. The wraith bands are the best armor for gold items and multiply at min 25 when as a pos 5 you surely are not 6 slotted anyway. Sometimes I get 3. Sucking mana into your friends after fights gives an extremely underrated amount of push potential assuming you're doing this build with the proper team.

The real power of the build is the bait potential - every Dota player is hard wired from birth to squish a lion as fast as possible. Even with just two WB and the 80 percent magic resistance, you will live through insane commitments that lion only could have dreamed about before. With ghost Sceptre timed right you are essentially invincible during suck. If you position properly you'll have enemy initiators diving past their first target to hit you, then standing there useless as your team beats them into the ground.

One unfortunate caveat is you will not and should not be trying to get finger stacks the same way as a typical lion- I almost always let it loose as part of counter initiation before suck so stacks may need to be left by the wayside.

I feel like Valve has pulled a swerve and we're either getting Bird Samurai in the next few months and Ringmaster at TI or some later date, or maybe both heroes soon. It's kinda weird all the story stuff from Crownfall so far is about a bird warrior guy we haven't seen yet and very little about Ringmaster.

Man just had a terrible game as offlane DK. Me and my P4 WD slapped. We got all outer towers super early, and then instead of getting racks our safelane Luna and Mid (?) CK just kept fountain diving and feeding instead of getting any racks. Three or four attempts at this and they caught up (they had a Techies with Aghs so their HG was just a mine field, and you couldn't dive.

They stretched the game out to 70 min and we just ran out of gas. Had we just not dove four times and feed them it'd have been over.

Oh well, one fun thing was the game before it I was an offlane BB and they had no break so I just ran over them, 150k damage recieved, 2 deaths. mahwhahahahahahhahahahaha
