The (almost) Friday Quiz returns!

It's Friday, and that can only mean one thing...it's nearly the weekend...AND it's time for another exciting round of the DOTAFIRE QUIZ!

Usual rules apply...lets see how you get on :). For those of you who haven't played before - no reading up, no wiki, no consulting the dotafire DB...see how you get on without all that.

1) It's warm underground. Warm and safe. Which hero can dig themself in and stay there as long as they want?

1 point for the correct answer. (1)



2) Nectarine's are tasty, Octarine Core's even more so. But there is actually a way you can lifesteal from your magic damage without one. Which hero do you need on your team to help you out?

1 point for the correct answer. (1)



Armour is pretty important when it comes to surviving physical damage. Sure you clank a bit, but it's worth it when your wings are like a shield of steel. But, do you know roughly how much it helps reduce incoming damage by?

2 armour is worth:

About 2%
About 5%
About 10%
About 20%

5 armour is worth:

About 5%
About 10%
About 15%
About 25%

10 armour is worth:

About 10%
About 20%
About 30%
About 40%

15 armour is worth:

About 20%
About 35%
About 50%
About 65%

20 armour is worth:

About 55%
About 60%
About 65%
About 70%

1 point for each correct answer. (5)



4) Whilst we're talking about armour, lets talk about buildings. They're made of rock. That's pretty armoury, right? But which of these buildings (without boosts, glyphs etc) has the most armour?

A) Tier 1 Tower
B) Melee Barracks
C) Ranged Barracks
D) Ancient

1 point for the correct answer. (1)



5) Buildings...love em? Hate em? Just part of the scenery? Well it's all a matter of perspective isn't it. Some heroes HATE buildings, so much that they've spent all their spare time finding ways to damage them with magic. But which of these heroes was most successful?

Rank them from highest to lowest magic damage against buildings in a single cast or orb.

(assume level 4 for all standard abilities, no additional items, no ultimates)

Tiny
Pugna
Leshrac
Jakiro

1 point for each hero in the correct ranking. (4)



6) Heroes get hungry, it's just a fact of life. Wandering around, killing stuff, it works up an appetite. Most just get by on a pack of Tangoes or a tasty Enchanted Mango. However, some have more expensive tastes...which two items, costing over 3000 gold can be consumed by a hero?

1 point for each correct answer. (2)



As far as I can discern, only two heroes in the game have access to directly castable abilities with all 3 major forms of damge - physical, magical and pure. Who are they?

1 point for each correct answer. (2)



8) Via the medium of dodgy maths, I've put together a scenario where a hero could potentially be lifestealing at an incredible 395% of their attack damage. This would require 3 specific heroes and 2 specific items, can you name them all?


1 point for each correct answer. (5)



How did you get on? Please post below the line, and remember to use the {Spoiler} tags and avoid putting answers right at the start of the post...!

17... :(

It's a trickier quiz than I thought. But previously some people were always complaining they were too easy. 5) is kind of harsh because you can be only a little out and lose 4 points, and a few others are tough too.

stuff stuff stuff stuff stuff



Damn I still got it! 21/21

Oh GAWD!
My dota knowledge is so bad!
A measely 15

Well, atleast i did not get the xyrus award!

20/21.

You've done pretty well then guys, some tough questions in there. I've tied up the building magic damage one Wulfy, make it even clearer.



If anyone is tempted to have a go writing a quiz, I'm quite happy to post up the code to make the presentation easier...?
