Quote: yeah, but most of the guides focus too much on last hitting/denying. it's not that important for a newbie.
And most people forget it is a team game. You can get lots of kills if you pair yourself with a proper character. Ezalor/Zeus, or Mirana/Earthshaker, for example.
Oh, and the ultimate tip, unless you're Nerubian Assassin or Oblivion, do NOT get dagon. period.
Dagon is pretty good on Tinker.

Finnaly my favorite game been discussed.Last hitting and denying is most importnat in beginning.Some facts about it are that LH will give you gold and xp and denying will prevent enemy from having it and most important keep the lane in balance.For example if you are playing with any orb-walker or harraser,lets take Draw Ranger against some melee guy,the only thing he can do is run around in circles and expect for some XP.So he isnt getting any of you mobs killed,maybe 1 or 2 sometimes.And you are last hitting his.This makes the whole line up unfair and your mobs proceed closer and closer to his tower making it easier for him and harder for you.
Aghan so far is been great on Obsidian and Ogre Magi,just great to see him Multicast a lot more in team fights
Ill try to post some more info on here.If anyone needs any hero to be discussed tell me.

I thought multicast doesn't work with items.
Tinker is my new love. That guy is sick. Early game he has complete mid lane dominance, a bit later he is instant death to any hero that is below 60% HP. Then, with BoT, he becomes the ultimate farmer with march refresh march teleport. Late game, he can even become a carry.
He's just pure joy. In pubs, dagon may be indeed a fun addition to him. laser dagon rocket BAM m-m-m-m-monster kill I'd rather go for Shivas any time a week in a serious game, though.
As for last hitting, if you're bad at it, go jungle. Nobody harasses you there and all the creeps are yours. Especially good for terrorblade and naix.

If you you mean that it is Orb Effect and it doesnt stack with others,then no.Ogre doesnt have any Orb Effects.And Aghan is best for him,increasing % to do some spells multiple times in row.Sometimes you can even kill a hero from 1 attack.Fireblast him(275dmg)and then if Mulitcast will take effect he is dead(depends on HP).

With Agahnim's Scepter increases your multicast total by 1 and increases its chances by 10%.
With LVL 3 Multicast and Scepter, you get 30% chance to multicast and your fireblast hits 5 times instead of 4.
Long term damage increase:
First let's look at LVL 3 Multicast.
80%(chance to normal cast) * 375(LVL 4 Fireblast) + 20%(chance to Multicast) * 375 * 4 = 600 avg damage per cast
Now look at Multicast w/ Scepter
70% * 375 + 30% * 375 * 5 = 825 avg damage per cast
_____________________
Now let's look at raw damage after 25% resistance from a multicast.
375 * 4 = 1500 before magic resistance
1500 * 0.75 = 1125 after resistance (This happens once every 5 casts)
375 * 5 = 1875 before MR
1875 * 0.75 = 1406 after resistance
Pretty much whenever you multicast, you're gonna get a kill. So think of it as 50% more kills plus an extra 300 damage to your already broken nuke.

Yes and now look at a team battle of say 4v4 or 5v5.Multicast Ignite or Bloodlust and your team is unstoppable.
Here are some Basic formulas you might consider while playing:
1.Formula for required EXP to gain level
50(k-1)(k+2)
where k is regard as hero level
2.Formula for EXP gain for Hero kills
100(k-2)
where k is regard as hero level and k must be equal or greater than 5
3.Formula for EXP gain for Creep, Tower, and Summoned unit kill
2.5k2+ 8.5k+14
where k is taken as level of Creep, Tower, Summoned unit.
4.Gold losses on Death
It is simple. Formula is...
30*k
where k is taken as hero level.
5.Delayed time to respawn after death
Formula is...
k*4
where k is hero’s level
6.For HP, formula is
k(19)+150+extra point from item(eg. soul booster)
where k is regard as Str point.
7.For Mana pool, formula is
k(13)+extra point from item (eg. soul booster)
where k is regard as Int point.
8.Evasion
1-( 1-A ) * ( 1-B ) * ( 1-C ) *…… = Total evasion (i.e., chance to miss)
9.Critical/Bash
1-( 1-A ) * ( 1-B ) * ( 1-C ) * …… = Chance to trigger Critical / Bash

NiKitA: I meant that multicast won't happen on dagon's burst attack
As for Ogre Magi, don't forget his absolutely crappy farming, which leaves him poorly equipped compared to others. He's also very easy to harass early and very dependent on luck to trigger.
also, fireblast does 275 damage, not 375.
As for bash, since 6.59 bash no longer stacks in a diminishing way. Reworked basher does not work with bash skill and doesn't work with another basher.

i said it was 375 ?
Bashes are not as good in this Dota as they were back then,and they dont stick,just each one of them will have its chance.

Nope, but RSF said 375
also, pre-6.59 basher sucked, and was considered strictly pub item. Now I've even seen it once or twice in a pro game

Most of DotA community is concentrated at GArena. ~200 000 players every day.
The biggest problem in pub games there are of course leavers. But it's the same on bnet.
And the pings are usually excellent.

What is the damage ratio for Feedback and what is the highest item with the effect? And how much mana burn is it on that?

Manta style. If I remember correctly it's 40 mana burned, and for every point of mana burned it does 1 point of damage. manaburn is physical, so 40 dam is reduced by armor, afaik.
Illusions also burn mana, and manta conveniently provides ability to create 2 illusions.
