you guys have organized games going yet?
maybe i should reinstall
srk west vs east ih’s ftw.
or just srk ih’s
are they happening now??
Yeah, 25% proc rate on mjollnir, you’re already off to a bad start, it’s 20%. Lets also forget that sniper is a horrible tank, great person to lightning shield! Yeah lets completely ignore my post about how headshot and mjollnir don’t stack so wait your original 25% is actually below 20%. You understand? Headshot procs 40% of the time. If headshot procs your mjollnir never even has a chance to go off because it has priority over it. You do understand diminishing returns I hope? Let’s spend 6600 gold on this amazing item. You sure do know a lot champ.
I dunno, when I see snipers with mael/mjol, I see procs all the time. Actual experience vs theory fighter ftw.
Even 20% is pretty damn high. The WC3 engine favours procs over non procs, which is why all percentages are so low. Axe spins ay 17%… everyone knows it’s actually much higher. Sange at 5% maim should theoretically never maim, yet we always see it happening. 20% is more than enough.
This comes from experience, I’ve used sniper with maelstrom/mjoll, and he doesn’t proc nearly as much as razor/medusa/etc. What is “all the time” anyway? It’s still gonna proc some obviously, but instead of 20% it will be .2 - (.2*.4) = 12%. Much better off with a butterfly for all that gold.
All the time = a fairly high percentage. Much higher than 12% for sure. If you’re not doing that great, getting a mael/mjol first would make sense, since it helps you farm. But you’re right, if you have an early eagle it would make sense to convert it to a butter.
Also, Lich is hella fun. I’m pretty sure a team of Lich/Tree is undefeatable, especially if lich soloes or is laned with another spammer.
I personally LOVE bfly on Sniper, evade + amazing attack speed ftw. I like to go Lothar’s, Bfly and MoM (with a buriza if I can afford it) and kinda play like clinkz, let my tank go in, stealth in the back, pop MoM like strafe and just finish people off. I don’t actually buy Mjolnir on anyone not named Razor or Medusa, so I’m not sure how it works on Sniper, I’ll give a shot tho.
GOD, I solo’d a lane with spiritbreaker, and got put up against Lich and Zeus… pain in the ass…
^_-;
Spiritbreaker should never be solo anyway, it was just a bad decision on your teams part.
How bout I just find you and stab you in the stomach ?
You’re a fucking chinch faggot, just shut the fuck up. Your math is wrong by the way. Just because he has another proc doesnt negate the 20% or 25% in older versions i swear it went up to 25% when u got mjollnir. You dont know fuck all and you fucking suck.
hahahah… ok you win, good shit.
Damn right, you don’t wanna get stabbed in the stomach over this shit!
^_-;
Making threats over the internet…:rolleyes:
Yeah, just ignore him. Not worth giving someone like that any attention.
Anyways, I’ve really been liking the direction they’ve been taking with all the recent hero/item rebalancing. I think the dagger nerf was a bit over the top, but in general they’ve been doing a good job making more items viable.
Serious business. 
EDIT: I think that dagger nerf is dumb. There must have been something else they could have done instead of giving it the limitation to 99% offense only. It was originally called the DAGGER OF ESCAPE, and you can’t really escape anything now a days.
That may have been what it was called, but in recent versions it was just a stupid item for escaping. Lothars at least is counterable, blink was not. Its main use is an initiation item. Centaur, Sand King, Enigma, Earthshaker, etc. all initiate with it. I hated it too, but now I think this nerf was actually too long in coming.
Just seems to take away it’s intended purpose and instead of ‘fixing’ it, they went with the flow of the community and just made it into the initiation tool that everyone was using it for. Granted, I think there should be some type of downside any time you use the blink dagger (I don’t know… maybe a short silence, or some damage, or something, ANYTHING!). I agree that being able to blink every 30 seconds with no penalty was broken.
They did fix it. They didn’t make the cooldown after being attacked too long, it’s a good balance. Granted, three seconds is a long time in DOTA battles, but in situations where you’re farming or something and people start chasing you, it’s still useful.
Imo, dagger is still quite useful. Having blink on some heroes was just broken. Well, to some extent you can still dodge stormbolt and other skills atleast.
