At the moment, all anyone does is complain about pushing line-ups and the entire meta is surrounded by pushers. Just a quick FYI as to why that is: A lot of the competitive Gankers, Teamfight and Turtle-oriented heroes are not in the game yet, or heroes that are needed for them to work. Examples of this are Medusa, Wisp, Pit Lord, Nyx, Tauren Chieftain and Undying are the big examples. Medusa's ultimate denies Pipe since it purges effects, her nuke drains the entire team of mana, she can turtle back and amass gold, becoming what is considered one of the best carries in the game right now. Wisp's ability to gank and deny pushes is also very good and also gets exponentially better late game with his buff. Wisp can also suicide which has pretty much been falling to heroes like Windrunner and Queen of Pain these days. Nyx is an amazing ganker and can really shut down any semi-squishy hero in the game, with his recent buffs (though some see them as nerfs), he has become even better in a tur…

I've been thinking about orb choices. And I've used to think that Mjollnir was a total waste for an orb choice. BUT i checked it out, you can actually (and correct me if im wrong) have lifesteal(or any other passive attack modifier) on at the same time as Mjollnir, because the chain lighting is a 25% chance to occur. The other 75% you are still getting the passive AND the added attack speed from Mjollnir.

I'm not sure if this is correct though. Please correct me if so c:

If a team can tank long enough in any team fight while Death Prophet stands back, that team can force tower/barracks losses, even if they totally lose the team fights. As long as Death Prophet stays alive for her ult to dive a tower, her team did its job. The kill disparity becomes completely irrelevant just because you cannot do anything to stop the push from her ult.

This has been demonstrated in a few competitive games this year, most notably Na'Vi vs. Darer in which Darer won through protecting Death Prophet, though in general the team fighting seemed to be largely in Na'Vi's control. In other games against Darer where Death Prophet was not picked, it was more or less completely one-sided for Na'Vi.

I know some people might think this is exaggerating, but I'd consider Death Prophet a first-round ban, in the same tier as Nature's Prophet and Leshrac. If she is protected, her team can easily force a loss just by fighting near towers and keeping Death Prophet up during her ultimate.…

A majority of the guides are just copy pasted from the heroes abilities. Everything said in guides is pretty pointless for the most part and doesn't make you a better player by reading the guides. The full 10,000 word guides are for the noob/beginners. That's not really my target audience. It's your job as the player to get better by playing the game, guides should only help your item decision making. As a top DotA player I can tell you that correct item builds is the most important thing in DotA. Some of you might not agree with what I do or try, but before you knock it try it. I wouldn't create a build if it didn't work.

The only way to truly make a guide is to make a video. I have a site in the making, that will have videos and guides of how many hero can fill a variance of different roles, and how some item builds are better than others when used properly.

People down vote my guides 90% of the time because they can't comprehend the logic behind them. Not to be mean but 80% of the…

His name is Tiny
He has a small heiny
People think that he is winy
Because he cries all the time
His face is really shiny



That was a little song that I wrote off the top of my head.


Tiny all in all is a small guy. People like him because they are literally blind to how small his little weeny is.

That is all....
