I wonder if there ever was a way to partner the Medusa talent that lets split shot proc attack modifiers with Morphling being able to become a melee hero by morphing into TB and then have split shot bashes.

Speaking of which, some tidbits that are worth knowing: - Marksmanship aghs split applies onhits - As does Morphling's waveform with his talent - As does Monkey King's staff slam - As does Swashbuckle - Sven cleave (and all other skill-based cleaves) work just fine on ranged heroes - Enchant Totem + Staff Slam = 900% of your base damage + primary stat-based damage. - You can infest Lycan's wolves and apply rot/omni slow/ion shell/etc. while invisible - Decrepify + Natural Order + Life Break = anyone without bonus magic resistance instantly dies irregardless of health. Known for a good while so its hard to grab + Linkens and Lotus make it less reliable. - Dispersion works on self-inflicted damage. The only exception I've found is Suicide Squad, which is a shame. - all of the recent heroes and new skills are really badly coded; Morphling's adaptation will sometimes permanently steal passive skills even after the duration ends (until you die), and Bedlam's coded as a normal skill with three levels (this is more relevant to custom game modes where you can pick Bedlam by itself). - Arcane Orb + Swashbuckle is disgusting. - if you find yourself with Drow Ranger and Shadow Realm is available, always take it. You can become perpetually untargetable (may require Octarine). - Bane + Focus Fire + Nightmare = you will literally never lose a 1v1 ever. Especially once you get aghs.

Neurolimal posted:Speaking of which, some tidbits that are worth knowing: These are great tips, and what I was hoping for. I never saw Monkey King's skills in AD, though. Is he/his skills in there? Also, Drow is top tier hero in AD only because of her level 25 talent. We played against a Drow that used Reaper's Scythe as a casual stun because it was on a 9 second cooldown with Octarine and 100% uptime on Dark Pact. Other weird interaction that I still haven't figured out is the aghs upgrade with calldown. I've gotten it on both on other heroes but I never seem to get the side gunner upgrade even though its listed on calldown. Maybe the aghs upgrade is tied specifically to gryo's model+his ultimate, or is it tied only to Gryo's model, like NightStalker's unobstructed vision.

MK is probably not in AD because of having 5 skills, most of those tips are from experience playing Legends of Dota but should apply just fine in AD. Sidegunner is tied to Gyro himself, yeah. Similarly Silencer's int steal is tied to Silencer, and unobstructed day/night vision to KotL/Night Stalker.

Silencer should be removed from AD as a base hero because that passive is too disgustingly good. His other base stat gains are great, too!

Yeah, it was turned unto a separate skill in LoDR and he's still a popular pick for int carry builds because of his solid agi growth and decent attack animation.

If mk was somehow in AD, his ult would probably be hilarious. boundless strike too. The wiki says both work with attack modifiers. I wonder if it would work with Juxtapose.

MK Ult and a ranged hero with Take Aim would be pretty funny. I think they acquire targets outside of the circle if they have range on it.

Wow, so Gyro is one of the strongest AD heroes in the game then, up there with Silencer, KotL, and Night Stalker. Do you have to draft Call Down to get side gunner?

AD stuff: You need to draft flack cannon to get the aghs upgrade on gyro, also it wont work when you first buy it you have to respawn. Swashbuckle is a first round draft, usually snapped up 3rd or 4th because its an aoe nuke, mid range escape, and has a lot of combo capacity (desolate, mana break, glaives, arcane orb, burning spears though this hurts the caster ALOT if they hit a bunch of things with the toggle on, flash farm with caustic finale). Things like sticky and aftershock are often good early picks because you can grab 1 skill that forces the enemy to grab up to 5 sub par skills in the first and second round to counter you and they are, on their own, really strong. I wouldn't take swashbuckle over perma invis, suchi, aftershock, thirst, webs, or burrow strike... but it's a very strong all rounder skill and usually is something you want to force the enemy to build more cores then there are places to farm.

This will be the first year where I don't buy one. A big part of it is that I still have a ton of junk in my inventory from last year that I can't sell on the market yet. I realize the compendium has always basically been throwing money down a hole to a degree but not being able to sell poo poo made it a little too obvious.

When you play solo ranked, are your teammates always from S America and the enemies always N Americans? Or is it a mix for you? It's just that I've noticed every single game for me it's always an all Spanish speaking enemy team while my team is always all English speaking. It's nice to be able to finally communicate with my whole team every game, but it also really feels like an 'us-vs-them' type thing every game.

Yeah, when you say the post-game trashtalk has been amazing, i'm thinking we're talking about the same thing by me saying it fosters an 'us-vs-them' thing every game. Everyone gets rascist as gently caress. So much 'murican rattas' and 'lovely peruvians go play on your own server!" but I never have an english speaking enemy team or anything more than a single bilingual dude on my team. It's just kind of weird that every game seems to be a south vs north america thing.
