if you do less than 72 damage you hit the melee creep once, if you do more you can just let the tower get it in last hit range

Kild posted:

5 tower hits will reduce a melee creep at 145HP
6 tower hits will reduce a melee creep to 64HP
If you do <72 damage, you should hit the melee creep once before the last hit (i.e. a "pre-hit")
If you do >=72 damage, you can (on average) secure the last hit without "pre-hitting"

4 tower hits will reduce a siege creep to 35 HP
If you do <70 damage, you will need to "pre-hit" the siege creep once and take the last hit after 4 tower hits
If you do >=70 damage, you can last hit the siege creep after 4 tower hits.

2 tower hits will reduce a ranged creep to 120 HP
3 tower hits will reduce a ranged creep to 30HP
You can (almost) always last hit a ranged creep after 3 tower hits (>=30 damage)

I don't understand why they can't keep the players socially distanced while on the same LAN. All the infrastructure for viewing from home is still there.

Not only would having a TI this year where players are socially distanced or whatever be an incredibly irresponsible idea, but like there is also the VISA situation as well.

i'd honestly forgotten how fun sand king is. i don't see them very much in games, though. is there a reason for that?

Holy Hell.
I've mostly ignored my Dota inventory for years - like, to the point where I never even really familiarized myself with the inventory UI.

I was poking around it today and I noticed I own several treasures which sell for $25 and $50 on the Steam marketplace. Sweet - I wanna liquidate them and get some steam bux.

I listed one treasure and now want to list another, but the one I want to list next is on cooldown for a week. Is this because I just listed a different one, and this is some safeguard to prevent my inventory from being liquidated if my account is taken over by an attacker?

I have never listed an item on the Steam marketplace before, so it seems pretty reasonable that I might be forced to slow roll things at first - I just want to know what's up.

EDIT: Checking carefully, my other treasures are NOT on cooldown. It's only this one "Treasure of the Cherished Hoard Perfect World" which is on cooldown for a week - and, weirdly, is also listed as "(Not Tradable)". I have no idea why. Is it never going to be tradable and the UI is just confusing? Why is it listed as both not tradable and on trade cooldown for one week?

I have the same Cherished hoard treasure, but I got it from a Rylai wheel in this year's battle pass (as a side note, while there are people selling it for $50, the max price it was sold for was ~$2). It, along with all the other items I've gotten from the spins, has a trade cooldown until July 4 so I'll try to sell some of them. However, I suspect all items received from this BP aren't tradable/marketable and the date is just a placeholder.

New accounts have market restrictions but normal accounts that have made purchases shouldn't have any restrictions on making new listings.

sort of like windranger, sk tends to feel like he doesn't do anything unless you hit the ideal stun in a fight, and it's really hard to do that

also its main purpose in lane is to crush melee heroes and competitive teams will just dodge the lane matchup

He’s got an instantcast AOE reliable stun and an amazing farming skill. I don’t think SK will ever be Bad as long as those two things are true.

the typical sand king combo to flash-explode creep waves and farm feels so satisfying, and pulling off the thump combo in a teamfight is hype as hell. that poo poo alone makes the hero fun to play, honestly.

This is what fascinates me most in existence: the peculiar necessity of imagining what is, in fact, real.


I know he's better now, but I kinda miss the old WC3 era chinese SK core build where you went treads battlefury into blink, just deleting a creep wave in a couple of autoattacks. Nowdays with new sandstorm, his new aghs and so many powerful utility items out there, I don't really think that build has any real reason to exist.
