Yeah, everybody in TDA are self righteous assholes.
I do like how they actually come for ganks though.
Quelling blade looks like a good farming item so i think this is an important item for early game. I’ve been experimenting with Tauren the whole day and i think he works with the same ES build, but Diffusals work very well for him. Anyway, a Dagger seems to be a great item for him just like ES. Dagger can be used after Earth Splitter, just blink and stun them before it goes off there is also a significance in landing the spirit cause it also teleports the same distance as Tauren.
The problem is that there are so many good items for him that it is hard to come to a decision on what to get. Diffusal, Shiva, Blood stone, Dagger… it’s almost impossible to farm for all of these in real games so a conclusion on his core build is difficult.
Probably bloodstone, dagger, bracers,bottle (?)… sadly, the greatst poster finds diffusal to be excellent on him.
Quelling Blade + Bloodseeker = Infinite Health
This might be old news, but for all of those peepz who want to play dota but can’t on battlenet for whatever reason, be it lag, banishment, or availability, there is always Garena to play on. if interested, but confused, PM me with questions.

There’s other ways.
Posting on the TDA forum, getting vouched for in the waiting room and being an approved host are the ones I remember.
It’s been a long while for me, though.
i just went 15-0 with lanaya in a pub. she is so damn fun. what’s a good item build for her? i went:
RoR/4 branches
blink
treads (left on str)
yasha
deso
then i was building to a heart before the game ended.
i got yasha mainly for the move speed so i can chase
is it better to just go straight damage (i’m thinking mkb over bfly) or was building a heart the right thing to do, since she is so fragile? how about linkens? any other suggestions?
also, for skill builds is it better to go:
meld/refract/meld/refract/meld/ult/meld/range/range or
meld/range/meld/rage/meld/ult/meld/refract/refract/refract
60 vouches in a month or two I believe, will get you safelisted for tda games. The 25 win icon then wont be needed
Depends on how the game is going. I usually only get a heart on AM/Viper for agi. Lanaya has a few tools that help her survive… refraction is really imba if used right. A blink is > a heart on her for survival. You want to concentrate on buffing her damage.
The skill build really depends: when i’m in a lane against a viper or veno i go for refract/psyblades early. However, The prob with this skill build is it’s weakness in killing potential; aside of that (the pros); this skill build provides a strong early game laning, survivability, and last hitting. But basically, i would go for ref/Meld build above all.
The skill build “meld/ref…” is the right one.
While your other build, “Meld/Psi” offers the potential to harass and deal better damage (with meld); the build makes your lane control to be very difficult, and possibly impossible against guys like tinker or any well experienced opponent; another thing i don’t like about the Meld/range is that she also becomes easier to counter… so i don’t really approve of meld/range. It works for some, yet the build just makes a difficult early game and possibly a weak TA.
Stick with “meld/ref”. This skill build alows Good last hitting, good survivability, and helps in avoiding projectile stuns. Refraction is the skill that makes her unfair at times so max this.
As for items. Hmm… I rush for dagger, additionally, i like Vanguards on her… i think most people have put lothars on her but i rather go for desolator. Anyway, my build is usually daggers, wraiths and VG’s… then lastly work for a deso or HoT (if possible in late game).
EDIT: Batrider deserves a huge nurf.
Max refraction as fast as possible, get 1 meld to start, after 1 meld max psi, ult get lvl 6 then max meld first. I like Vanguards to start with then i usually get dagger and Bfly. Vanguard and bfly make her a good tank with evasion and shield. To get kills you don’t always have to do the most damage you just have to be able to stay in the mix.
Also make sure you use the hot key for her trap release and just place traps infront of people running away from you that is her best run down sometimes because of this i just skip dagger. Depends how good the competition is though.
Your lord assumes that the new pipe of insight item works good for lanaya, but i have not seen this on her in actual play.
VG’s have been buffed in 6.60 so thats a good reason to get VG’s on TA.
As far as Lanaya goes, I typically go the meld/refraction build in most cases. Her ability to set up ganks with meld is gdlk. As for items, I typically go for Vanguard first, followed by Deso.
Holy fuck Razor is fucking awful now. Seriously what the hell are you supposed to do with him now? Items? Skill build? Everything he has seems so underwhelming and his low HP makes him fucking awful most of the game.
Old Razor felt so much better. :\ I’m ranting right now since I haven’t played him since the change, but god damn he just feels weak in every aspect.
Get a lead early on with his ult.
Basically the only thing you can do.
vanguards prolong deso imo. Always rush deso, if u r a good last hitter(especially w/ refraction) u can farm a deso by lvl 11 or less, and with the rebuff on TA in 6.60 traps are pretty imba lvl 2 trap -> 9 sec cd.
For skills i go refract/meld/refract/meld/refract/trap/refract…
tho i play TA aggressively that’s y i dont get vangaurd on her, u just need to time u’r refracts right.
honestly who are the best dota players on srk?
cause ill challlenge them with my friends any time this week. US West preferably.
You’ll have to be pro to beat us. just being honest. and if we lose then GJ
heard that before…
So pretty much you’re saying he sucks.
I’m an old razor fan my self. I can see why this new incarnation can be good, but so far I’m not liking it either
