Dota Strategy: Armor Reduction Strategies

FengLiN — Wed, 12 Nov 2008 12:14:00 GMT

While the table makes a good reference to quickly find out how much a certain armor reduction gives to your %dmg increase, there are two simple trends you will observe which is far more useful than the table itself. 1. For every -5 armor increments, your %dmg increase goes up by 33%. Not surprisingly, this is also similar to how your EHP increase per +1 armor increment (for +5 armor, you gain +30% base HP, a slight 3% difference) 2....

Magic Stick, is it ever worth it?

FengLiN — Sun, 09 Nov 2008 16:02:00 GMT

Q: I was sort of excited for Magic Stick, but I've rarely seen it in games, and when I have, it's been terrible. Are there any circumstances where it doesn't suck? A: People don't remember that it's only 210g. Buy it from a sideshop when you have the money. It's useful when facing a dual lane heroes with active spells(or a soloing serious spammer like zeus and bristle). Everytime PA blinks or slows, you get a charge. Everytime Phantom lancer...

10 most useless heroes in Dota, do you agree?

FengLiN — Sat, 08 Nov 2008 11:22:59 GMT

1 - Crystal Maiden . Nukes are nothing special, aura even as global loses it's effectiveness after early game, ulti is easily counterable, unwieldy and unreliable. Poor animation design. She's made of suck. Yes, I've heard of animation cancelling. 2 - Bounty Hunter . His dominance relies on getting farmed up, and even then he isn't that much of a carry. His farming relies on herokills, and to get them he relies on his invis and overconfident...

APM in Dota AllStars

FengLiN — Sat, 08 Nov 2008 11:16:14 GMT

What is APM? Actions Per Minute. APM in DotA means absolutely nothing in terms of skill. In SC and WC3, yes APM matters. If your APM is anything under 200 in SC against a good player you will lose almost 100% of the time. People who have an APM of 200 in DotA are silly. There's no reason whatsoever why you should be making one single unit perform that many actions.Anything around the 70-120 range is enough for DotA but keep in mind it...

23 October 2008: It has come to my attention that there are a LOT of fake AI maps floating around on the internet, and as far as I can tell, they don't work. And they're definitely not from me.
