ya, night stalker is not too good of a hero. Sniper is tough to play imo, and for him to carry well, it requires good map control.

1022

Warlock
Axe
Venomancer
Mortred
Luci

The guys playing them were just bad players.

That’s one of the most annoying things ever. It’s just a glitch with his model size, walk away from it, and then right click again.

Also, clicking on tree and Gondar is downright impossible.

if theyre goin all out to deny you it should be easy to see when theyre gonna kill a creep

so just time your attack so it lands right before theirs

if not just deny theirs in return and keep it even

or just throw storm bolts at the poor ghouls

1039

no, i meant micro-wise, timing the hit (which varies from hero to hero due to attack speed) in conjunction with your own attack damage and the rate of health loss from the aid of your own creep wave.

Pretty much practice practice practice. You have to play each hero numerous times in order to understand their attack animations and damage points. The more you play them, the easier it gets. There’s no “set” procedure to follow, as every lane will vary every single game, you just have to adapt to the situation. Sniper has the easiest time of it, his projectile is instant. Rikimaru and Barathrum are also slightly easier than usual, since they both have a skill that adds extra damage that triggers before your animation even starts.

Here’s how I last hit… (switch to player mkownsu)

Invoker is one of the few I can actually last hit decently with, since with extortx3 he has ridiculous base damage. I did get screwed up because my teammate was auto attacking, but I just adapted. I didn’t bother denying too much, with an autoattacker on both sides of the lane, if I concentrated on denying I would never get any gold… I ended up leaving the lane with 3k+ gold :smiley:

Chaos meteor + blast + guinsoo is so good, even all the way through late game…
