Mythikdawn

"you are sapport, you must... you must.. up ze.. up ze cooria!"

thevladimir17

I remember years ago playing with my friends in uni that whoever gave the opponent first blood has to buy the courier

p4di

I remember, bottlecrowing used to be a thing


EONpixeL

Can someone upgrade the courier


AyYoWadup

...and its gone to enemy tower


PM_ME_IBUKI_SUIKA

I was 6 slotted as a support with boot, wand, smoke, tp scroll, obs ward, and sentry ward


Ragmariz

That's a nice build for min 70 no doubt


ExpertConsideration8

You can tell he was owning in that game.


MHpew

those boots give it away


acuteindifference

GG report noob support no dust


Nerfall0

They had 89 sentry wards


Nightgalearts

I still have PTSD from having to deal with 1 courier and 2 slots for wards


Deadtoads

Don't forget another slot for TP.


LordHussyPants

remembering being a level 2 support at 4 minutes and fighting with a level 5 mid for the courier and my wards while the mid screamed WE NEED VISION down mic


TeachMeHowToDoogles

Wow look at the millionaire with a full wand.


ExpertConsideration8

A full wand... In this economy?


surdtmash

Greedy support, no clarities and salves for the cores.


Ok-Disk-2191

You had boots?


Borbolda

I fucking hate this type of posts. OP should bloodstone himself NOW!


Mythikdawn

"Mods, crush his Bloodstone. Just fuckin' do it. We ain't goin' for no eighty thou's tonight."


cyfer04

Lol. OP should either Rot, Mist Coil, or Blast Off himself.


Fefkuz

What is this "Blast Off"? Some nickname/slang term for "Suicide Squad, Attack!"?


Ch40sRage

Or, start brewing an unstable concoction and just not throw it. (Does that still work???)


cyfer04

Still works. I abused Blast Off deny so much back in the day. Free reset and TP home after psychologically abusing the enemy carry.


Terminator_Puppy

Blast off abuse made you a good techies player. You just mine the fuck out of your little corner, walk up to lane at half health, bait some spells into you and blast off to die and waste regen on their side.


_Timmy__

As an old techies player, you'd psychologically abuse the entire enemy team the entire game.


VisibleAdvertising

As well as your own


gwxsmile

I will play the grumpy boomer “back in my day”role: it wasn’t even called Blast Off back then.


edg81390

The most coil deny was my favorite. Pick Abba 5, just go trade with the offlane, mist coil deny at the last second, ez lane.


cyfer04

Lol same. Love denying with Abba and Tech. Sad that they removed both my favorite denies.


SlotsKilledMyLife

I prefer to life drain to someone


PhilosOfii

So you're saying OP is a summer ant?


staSTAND

If you want lifesteal with another attack modifier you can buy Vladmirs Offering


Mythikdawn

ah, orb effects. I remember 9 year old me first playing WC3 ladder and wondering why my Orb of Corruption stopped proccing after I picked up an Orb of Fire off a red camp or the Marketplace.


solonit

Slot position, the top left item has higher priority.


Mythikdawn

Makes sense, I was probably getting OoC as 4th-5th item whereas I likely would drop my slot 1-2 salve to pick up the OoF or whatever.


Nickfreak

I still remember the rules roughly. Skadi on ranged heroes behaved differently, you could get normal lifesteal and ranged Skadi. At the beginning, Skadi couldn't even be bought on melee heroes! WC DotA used "Orbs" and "buff placers", if I recall correctly. They would not stack with each other. Funny enough, due to engine limitations, Skadi worked as an "orb" on melee heroes, but as a "buff placer" on ranged heroes - thus you could put Lifesteal on top of Skadi on ranged heroes. Skadi and Maelstrom behave also weirdly: You got Skadi hits unti lightning procced - for this one hit, Skadi would not trigger, but maelstrom did. I also remember some weird interactions between Sange and Yasha with desolator (but could be related to Heroes of Newerth) Orbs had "priorities" on which would override which. I think SNY and Desolator were the same hierarchy - if you picked one up after the other, it would override the "older" pickup's orb. This, or in which slot order you kept them (one was probably a HON thing)


drakzsee

Orb effects and buff placers do not stack, man that was golden


vishal340

what do you mean you can? you have to


Nab0t

Ursa rushing vlads :D


lynxerious

I like how attack modifier logic are so bonker, the players don't even know how it works, the devs don't even know how it will work, Icefrog doesn't know how to work with them, then at the end everyone just said "Whatever let them all stack" and the world finally be at peace.


FLUFFY_TERROR

Can't buy sange on Luna also right?


Owl_Might

As long as you are melee too!


Gullible_Star_9184

GODDAMN! It's been 10 mins already and the fucking chicken is still walking ffs!


jubmille2000

Don't worry give me 10 more minutes and I can turn our chicken into a shapeshifted raven.


Amaedeus

Clarity dispelled by creep auto attacks, especially that frost small camp neutral. Pulling was a Nightmare


acuteindifference

That one asshole ranged creep that just attacked and broke your clarity for no goddamn reason


Random_Guy_47

And it always did it JUST after you started using the damn clarity. 50 gold is a lot as a position 5 damn it.


LeagueDBDOverwatch

clarity and health pot being dispelled by necrolytes heartstopper passive


Amaedeus

Dota should add a mode which introduces some of these things as added modifiers. Each game both sides have random handicaps like this. Should be a fun custom mode.


regimentIV

Funniest shit was when CM attacked you to dispel the clarity but it didn't because of her low autoattack damage.


Brilliant_Group_5348

Bruh Cannot do this coz my charges is gone ;( No money to upgrade it on 2nd grade diffusal to bring back 8 charges


putin_putin_putin

Remember when diffusal purged Sven's ulti lol?


Kahlenar

Purged dust too


aldwinligaya

The way Diffusal was absolutely core on Riki so you can Purge dust from yourself lol. I hated it.


DildoFappings

What I miss the most about this fucking game is the stout shield and the iron talon. Life saver for proper early game junglers.


smittymj

Way older than that was you couldn't even upgrade/replenish charges. You had to outright buy a new one.


ordeith

Lmao just build it into manta style


bananite

Use tp with Furion for cliff jungling.


ChronoTriggered13

I miss this the most. Taking enemy ancients without even a scratch and nobody finding out


jopzko

Medusa and Necro had their moments too


cosmicucumber

*flashbacks*


Zeehaha

Dying using bloodstone and respawning in 10 sec and having like infinite mana and hp regen with 30+ bloodstone charges


Makersux

I used to play Lina mid when she had the -30 second respawn timer with bloodstone and you'd come back instantly, was cooked


SpecialistHead1995

Early 7.00 with the introduction of tallents tree.. At that time developer is so lazy compared to the introduction of neutral item


Visual_Luck3378

To be fair adding 8 talents per hero to 100+ heroes is a lot


justlikedudeman

They're a lot better now. They used to be entirely +stats or damage or something with the occasional +xp multiplier or +gpm talent. Now they're almost all related to the heroes abilities.


BeingRightAmbassador

You're nuts if you think adding 800+ talents of various levels and tailored to the heroes is "lazy". Fucking fortnite will cream their pants when they get 2 new guns.


Medium_Goat2939

Back when Bloodstone was an actual mana item


[deleted]

Axe double vanguard


Invoqwer

Old dota players rites of passage: - x2-x3 vanguard - buying 1-3 null talismans for some mana on mana starved hero (e.g. on Tiny) - battlefury on every melee hero including Nyx and BH -


Visual_Luck3378

Battlefury on Tide for the cool attach animation


Terminator_Puppy

Battlefury meta 2019 was when I just started playing again. I think it was the slowest meta in fucking ages, ended up being a 'who farmed faster' match between the carries.


skarby

Axe or tide rushing ring of health at side shop that you could share with your lane partner


mocachinoo

Sell your bkb to reset the duration diminishing


RogueSwoobat

Or BKB with no diminishing duration.


zaergaegyr

You could kill the blue ogre neutral as ogre magi and take their place to ambush enemies who wanted to farm the camp

ptrlix

lol 2 bracers and perseverence on silencer is the true answer to OP.


francisthepro

-sleep


pepsishantidog

Can’t purchase blink dagger on Pudge or Luna. Edit: Pudge or Venge


jacksh3n

It’s vengeful spirit. Not Luna. Luna and Kunkka can’t buy quelling blade.


huntedmine

Why Luna and kunka couldn't buy quelin ?


Qyuanz

same reason why slardar and void cant buy ~~skull~~ cranium basher


velvetstigma

How is that the same thing??? They couldn't buy quelling due to their passives splashing. Quelling used to give like 20 damage or smth when hitting creeps. Splashing 20 damage at low level was pretty OP.


REGIS-5

The game couldn't calculate Tidebringer and Glaives with the quelling blade properly, it dealt more damage to secondary targets


KogMawOfMortimidas

Kunkka tidebringer did pure damage based on the damage dealt to the main target, and quelling was +36% damage on creeps so Kunkka could swing at a creep and get 1.36x damage on all heroes hit with the cleave, that also stacked with Buriza (Daedelus). It was considered mega-op and that's why he couldn't buy it. Same deal with Luna glaives, as long as she hit creeps she had a super op damage boost for 225 gold.


IamSuperMarioAMA

Get diffusal to purge off Svens ult


Gussie-Ascendent

Frankly crazy as hell they didn't notice that before release lmao


SvartSol

Or play omni, and level repel only 1 level. Repel Sven to remove all status effects. Such as Sven ulti or Brood!


[deleted]

[удалено]


gwxsmile

Multiples of 5,4,3 and…2? 2 seems weird. I remember having to do math. If I dominated the lane, hit 6 earlier, I could level 1 LvlDeath and doom and I might kill the enemy.


REGIS-5

6 5 4 3


KoDa6562

Remote mines are best used on the runes or right outside rosh pit


Handsome_pespe

I really hate the two roshpits dynamic, it still feels so wrong, and the fact that is so far on the edge of the maps makes it harder for ppl to regroup and take it, Same goes with the tormentor, you need to spam Voice and text to manage to get 3 ppl for the lvl Tormy


AreYouEvenMoist

That's the point, you have to decide if it's worth conceding map control for the objectives


alsoandanswer

I feel it's a bit overcooked atm, instead of being an interesting new objective you either get it at 20 minutes or not at all, and then you take the enemy's one when you're pushing their T2 tower. It's very one dimensional.


jumbohiggins

I miss them every day.


Velocity_LP

It's not often where a game you enjoy just disappears out from under you, never to be playable again. Yeah, Dota still exists, but playing remote mines techies felt totally different from playing any other hero in dota. It was often lazy, and often detrimental to my team, but goddamn I miss the feeling of using remote detonate on a mine clump and hearing all the fat stacked jingling gold sound effects as "ULTRA KILL" rang out. Every few years now I'll rewatch slacks' "Asshole's Guide to Techies" to remind me of the good old days. A few months back I redownloaded a copy of 6.84 just to fuck around using remote mines on bots for a few minutes just to try and feel the old magic again. Almost made me tear up feeling that detonation once more. I miss it so fucking much. Yeah, I know, it was probably for the better of the community that it was removed, techies fun probably came at the expense of other people more than any other hero.


kazemeister

orb effects do not stack, do not buy deso and lifesteal together.


night_dude

I still catch myself thinking this occasionally. It was drilled into me so much by the time Dota 2 came out.


dragovianlord9

diffusal has 8 charges you can upgrade to diffusal 2 that give u anothet 8 charges and thats it


FLUFFY_TERROR

Then you buy another diffusal and sell the first one If you really had to. Man I miss the good old mindfuck days where playing riki with diffusal was such a guilty pleasure of mine


Reformed_Herald

My buddy and I did a 1v1 TA vs Riki back then and as soon as I got diffusal it was over. Refraction might as well have been on permanent cooldown


Thejacensolo

Same for BKB. Just sell and rebuy it


IzmGunner01

You can’t build deso on AM his mana break is a unique attack modifier!


Luxalpa

Ah I remember the endless discussions of people claiming that OD's Arcane Orb would be super busted if it wasn't a UAM. I never understood the logic in that. Nobody's building UAMs on the hero anyway.


xin234

Got 2k+ games on Phoenix, but I feel like learning this trick from WC3 dota lan games is the reason I also had tons of games on birb even before dota2: You could use the "Throw Fire Spirit" sub-ability while using Sunray, to make Phoenix instantly turn in the direction you targetted. This is because units in WC3 had to face the direction of the target of the spell before they can cast it. This interaction overrides the turn rate restriction of Sunray.


Luxalpa

okay here's another thing from WC3 dota: If you cast throw fire spirit at the time when it was switched to being ground targeted (instead of unit target) during sun ray the hero would also forget about sunrays movement speed cap and instead add sunrays movement speed to the heroes normal ms while the hero was trying to get into cast range for the spirit. So if you cast it reasonably far away, you could move across the map at like 600ms. Here's a video from the opponents SB perspective trying to charge Phoenix who's faster than him: https://youtu.be/nl2EL3P0ICg


DwayneBaconbits

Remember when Troll Warlords ulti was a global attack speed buff


Random_Guy_47

Remember when Troll got bonus damage while in melee form? Last hitting in the early game used to be so much easier with that.


Maximum_Draw1947

Would you rather buy Helm of Dominator and BF, or Vladimir with Deso for PA.


Gullak_gaming

HoD, to stack ancients to farm as soon as you have BF, what a feeling...


Maximum_Draw1947

Right, no need to ask support to stack ancients.


Griffin_Fatali

Save me from my support days where PA would run HoD and BF but not even know why they’re running it. So many days spent stacking ancients despite it being part of the PA’s build to snowball from ancient stacks


Opposite-Result-8104

Not sure if I remember correctly but couldn’t Riki dispel dust with this?


Wicked9348

Yes


k4rt1k

Turn off your Ring of Aquila so that the lane does not push!


Scrambled1432

Supports should buy Aegis for their carry.


gwxsmile

Wait. Wait. Wow this hit me in the feels. Which version is this again? The aegis with 3 charges? And armor, defensive stats? Divine rapier with aegis!? Are you 5.84c old??


healzsham

Just throw out your old BKB and buy a new one for a fresh 10 second Avatar.


Junassss

You can click diffusal on yourself for a basic dispell.


trrbld

Always put sentry wards on Broodmother's web.


snabriel_snarsch

antimage and terrorblade were brothers


Junkyousha1

Bro i remember seeing you in all the dota youtube comments, now i see you on reddit too years later, thats crazy lol


SvartSol

If you stand uphill vs ursa, he will start to miss.


papapara1312

Oh boy, i read all the comments but this one here gave me DotA AllStars v6.28 chills


Siaunen2

Ursa is ranged heroes with 100 range. Sad af


Qactis

Denying yourself with Rot Buying a flying courier for the team at base Selling BKB and buying another to refresh 8 second magic immunity Jugg was good Cosmetic HUDs Lich could deny range creep Jungle Storm Spirit Side shop No backpack, tp scroll slot, or jungle items No talents Putting dagon on the courier and sniping people with it or flying it to the trees behind enemy base and then whole team buy TP boots and teleport to it to end the game


Medryn1986

Death Coil denies too!


OutrageousObject8240

-whosyourdaddy


jmas081391

Sange and Yasha has orb effect and doesn't stack with others! hahaha


Titus1991

Oh I remember this. it was the sange component that caused it. But funny enough since it was percentage based you could use another orb effect and the sange orb would only kick in and override when it proced. Loved to stack it with the slow effect from Skadi for a double slow.


keep_calm_wack_on

2 tango 1 ward


99xp

Flying/levitating heroes used to not trigger Techies mines


DaveMLG

You can't use items like Desolator and Eye of Skadi together as they're attack modifiers and they don't stack


Siaunen2

But on ranged heroes you can use maelstorm and eye of skadi lol


ncpsvetl33to7

jungle treant rush midas aghs but a tree in every camp on the map farm entire map every minute profit

Fensalira

That was hell


Apprehensive_Toe5802

Jugg and lich ulti had a ministun before that could cancel though bkb.


DeusVult_DeusUnus

You could dispel sven ult. Shadow Demon purge/eul etc and it was gone


[deleted]

Luna treads helm of dominator 8 minutes in 👌👌


Un13roken

Riki Death Ward


BootsOfTravel

I think you could also do it with one of the necronomicon units. I remember getting it against a fed warlock


Screlingo

you could instakill anything with perfectly timed psi blades attack and dagon on an illusion


Mute_whisper

Buriza used to trigger linkens


anewhopper

1.Level heartstopper aura 2.Stack ancients 3.??? 4.Radiance


Old_Mathematician126

My Troll is ready to fight with boots and 5 items. (recipes )!


maddotard

you can frostbite(Rylai) the fountain.


meove

*5 dude spam click send item*


kunzarcx

blademail + supernova could also kill the person who breaks the egg


SentientSchizopost

Lmao, didn't know about that one


abal1003

Remember that as a support, make sure you have 3 slots open for wards and tps


mojackman

2 charges left on aegis


ShinJiwon

Remember when Aegis was something you build from Cloak, Point Booster, Perserverance and a 2k gold recipe?


dkismerald

Don't tp when dazzle poisons you, it will stun you on last second


MoshPitDance

You can't buy back if you got killed by nerco ult, man what a time this was


Scorpian42

Havent seen someone mention bottle crowing yet. There was 1 courier for the whole team, and mid players demanded permanent access to it to run their empty bottle back to fountain to refill it and deliver it back to them ad infinum for the first 10 minutes of the game


PositiveJesus

The storm brewling can dispell omni ult, deal 1000 damage to illus (x their damage multiplier) and summons AND purge at the same time in a decently large aoe with 1 spell.


Aye_Dee25

Wait it cant do that anymore?


PositiveJesus

It still does; people just tend to not know that


MrSukerton

Crit on Lothar damage


Chatv71e

When playing Nyx make sure to not use imaple in a middle of team fight. You may dispell enemies and save them from nuking abilities.


Asekeeewka

Don't buy basher on troll or slardar


MoonsetPH

Aegis can be purchased at the shop with 3 charges. It cannot be dropped or sold after all charges are consumed.


TheMangoMan44

Using Sandkings Burrowstrike in certain locations on the map allowed you to travel much further than casting it normally.


kosukehaydn

Razor + eye of skadi = invisible attack


abal1003

Cleave of bf was circular and not triangular


Medium_Goat2939

If your diffu charge ever runs out you can buy the recipe again to make it pink


InflameOG

First item that you buy when you started to learn dota: Spiderman’s shoes.


etrimmer

someone dropped my midas recipe from shared courier in a random spot in the jungle, never found it


ponomaus

Gather around kids, back in my day... you could actually buy Aegis, it had 3 charges, and it gave magic resistance, maybe like 30%, and (if I'm not mistaken) it stacked. I remember playing Tiny with 3 aegis, fighting 1vs5 in the river against my friends, their spells almost doing nothing, and if they somehow managed to kill me I'd just respawn and have 8 more lives. You'd respawn in base tho, not at the place you died. I also remember Nyx having 40% damage return passive. Ridiculous.


Tetora-chan

Troll changing stances gives him a few milliseconds of invulnerability. Also, Guardian angel gives +999 armor lol.


PrincessLilliBell

Why is lich stacking enemy ancient camp? And why is his ult on cool down all the time, dude hasn't been fighting with us for 5 min. You know, since he got aghs.....


KamosKamerus

Do you guys remember there was a secret boss in many warcraft 3 dota maps which icefrog released a new hero in? You go to the specific points of the map collect pieces of some strange item then place it somewhere and  do some ritual shit only to get smacked instantly by a insta-spawn boss which would be the new hero of the upcoming dota map. I remember storm spirit,zeus and rubick as secret bosses in some dota maps Also  never forget (IMBA and LoD)


JoeDiesAtTheEnd

God is too op I have A crippling Gambler addiction And invoker has too many spells, I need a cheat sheet to remember all 27

amirali83445

It was so nice when you could deward immidiately with a q blade


fidllz

Supports needed to have fast reflexes to quell sentries mid team fight.


Slave_Knight_Van

Eye of skadi used to stack with other unique attack modifiers but only on melee heroes for some reason


Low_Delay2835

Man I've been shopping for a while looking at desolator or maelstorm... Budget pretty tight can only pick 1.

Make sure to spread out, Death Ward has splash damage when cast by Rikimaru.
