Manta is what makes up for your horrible hp gain. In team battles, you should just be marching/sending your images in/and trying to permahex their dps characters. Dagon doesn’t work IMO. In the end you should have BoT, Manta, Guinsoo, and as many soulboosters as you can fit, sceptres if you need the damage.
treads is only good on heroes with good travel abilities, and even with some heroes you probably wanna delay
prophet
slithereen
any hero with a godly ww
MEEPO (treads were made for meepo, they are the only item that buff his little meepos besides auras, and he already has a ghetto teleport)
a lot of heroes can live without travel for a while, any ganking hero for instance, can go until late midish game without them at all, but if you play a pushing/farming hero, you need them hardcore. in pubs you can actually play without them but its a bitch.
the #1 thing you wanna do with tinker is get observer wards ASAP and plant them so you can LOS escape routes for heroes, so you can always finish off with a missile if they try to break LOS. my friend plays a pretty sick tinker and often goes games with 12 - 0 no sweat, when i lane with him its even easier, and we pretty much dominate the entire game as long as we don’t get 2 HP monsters laned against us.
I still stand by the fact that the best beginner heroes have escape abilities or ways to not die in four seconds. sniper is fucking awful for newbies because if you get disabled you flat out die even if you make it out with half health, with a hero like clinkz or gondar you can WW out to safety most of the time. Avernus is good because he’s a bitch and a half to kill, you pretty much absolutely need a disable or a huge damage advantage as well as a signifigant hp pool to not die in a 1v1 situation or a chasing mechanism. he’s a terrible hero to lane against as a lot of carry heroes imo.
I’ve been trying Priestess recent and for some reason, as great as I am at hooking, I cannot arrow for SHIT with her, pudges hitarea for hook is much larger and i really wish they didn’t change arrow like that, i’d rather they nerf the stun than the hit area.
The higher the game level, the more important early travels are. Unless you’re going for something like a radiance, you should be getting travels as early as possible.
Also, I 100% agree about sniper. Noobs need a stun/ww/blink.
You sir, are an idiot.
please lets play and go for that build on storm panda, you wont even be able to farm for a mjolnir
Can you read? I am going to go ahead and answer for you and say no, because I said either work towards Mjollnir or go for a Crystallis. Please explain to me how Panda can farm for a MKB, but also at the sametime not be able to farm for a Maelstrom which costs alot less. I’ll be waiting for your brilliant response.
Yes Tinker is sick, plz get on aim/check your pms if you see this kthx chicken hunters!!
I played again today and after like 4 rounds of leavers, I finally finished one, and we won! I played Clinkz again and I dropped the power treads and just used boots. I ended up saving for Sange-Yasha faster and then just farmed Butterfly. I was the first to reach lvl 10 and after that I just went hero hunting! I don’t really know the names of the heros I was fighting but I know one was called Pudge, and man I made him my bitch like 6 times.
I ended up with 16 kills and only 1 death, cuz I was OOM and used the last of my mana to finish off some Panda hero. Clinkz is pretty damn fun, Windwalk is friggin amazing. I’m pretty sure we were playing nubs, but it was still fun.
Let’s play some DotA SRK! But I need good people on my team, lol.
^_-;
If I ever get bored enough I’ll write up a dota FAQ for some characters that I’m pretty good with. But I can see it being so large for each character I dont wanna bother =[
Coming on bnet east now: LastHitMaster
I’ll be on in about an hour. Fuckin class.

Techies is banned in some pub places here because he makes the game last way long… Techies’ main problem is what happens to him when his bombs are visable. He really gives little help when it comes to an all hero showdown in one lane. I’ve read some faqs in dota-allstars, some gave instructions on how to manage against guys with gms such as planting mines in escape routes, fog of war, etc… the problem is his ability to fight along with the team. I think the best way to increase his battle potential is with vengeful due to her swap ability. He’s still my favorite hero to use though, but i do refrain from using him most of the time.
I like Spectre.
man i’ve played like 5 hours a day for past week
You really have no clue how to play a good techies. . . .
My bad Balla, when you messaged me, me and my lanemate were chasing this bristle down trying to kill him. 
I’ll add you to my friends list, we should be able to get some games going.
I like
techies + pudge
techies + nevermore
techies + vs
techies + tiny (aka techie grenade)
I forgot some other dumb combos that were only ment for pub smashing but sure are fun
What server does everyone play? I’m not completely new, just sort of inexperienced. I have a decent handle on Furion [or at least when I was playing consistently], but uhh yeah. Server?
East.
God, I fucking hate Tinker. Unless you have an equally lame hero (Enchantress, Warlock) it’s almost impossible to solo lane, or sometimes even 2v1 him. They need to make laser be affected by magic resistance. Why does laser do so much damage? God damn.
