I want to know
Hello, my friends! That’s NS and this is «I want to know» show #16.
I’ve got Ursa with me – the one that was beating Dread up on The International.
And by the way, you can win it!
Just join Virtus.pro group on VKontakte and participate in the competition.
And we are going to start!
In previous issues I showed you how Clockwerk can hide the creeps in the forest
to make his life on a hardline easier.
But he is not the only one, who can do it.
Tuskarr can do something like this.
Basically, the technics is the same.
If you play for Dire, you block creeps a bit,
then you go to the bushes and turn your face to the line.
Wait until the creeps will come to the right place and use Shards.
If you’ll catch two or three creeps, you can consider it a great result.
But sometimes you’ll be able to catch all four of them.
After that just wait ‘till the line will be pushed to your side and farm safely.
You can repeat it every time
when the line goes far away and you are afraid of staying there.
If you play for Radiant, chop this tree,
stand over here and wait for the creeps.
After that use Shards.
It’s a bit harder to make it in this case,
so practice a bit before using in the game.
Not everybody knows that Brewmaster
is a nice counter pick versus Necronomicon.
Blue panda’s breezes works on them for 20 seconds!
Which is half of its total duration.
And a lot of fights can finish in 20 seconds.
As you understand, make an enemy lose an item that costs 5000 gold in a fight is very nice!
First of all lift the red Necronomicon up, and then the blue one.
It’s really hard to get rid of this red as@#$le in a fight.
Third thing for today.
Magnus can push his enemies to the mountain with his Skewer.
Wait until the enemy will come close to the mountain
and use Skewer between the mountain and your enemy.
You can use it in a lot of places all over the map,
and it’s especially convenient in the runes areas.
If you’ll push your enemy to the mountain on the first level,
while he is trying to get the bounty rune,
you can get significant domination over the game.
By the way, you can push several characters to the mountain at the same time,
if they are close to each other.
Lifestealer has an interesting feature when he is using Aghanim's Scepter.
If Lifestealer will eat Witch Doctor with healing turned on,
the healing will still work, but Witch Doctor won’t lose any mana.
That’s the way you get endless healbot.
It can be extremely effective during fast push.
I think someone should make tactics based on it!
Same goes for Purge and his torch.
In this case it is much less effective,
but you still should know it is possible.
And it doesn’t work with Leshrac at all.
I mean, his Ultimate will deal damage from inside Lifestealer,
but he will still lose mana.
In the end I’d like to tell you about one feature frequently used by pros,
it will be some good info for you.
If on early stage you got a lot of damage on the line
and need to walk to the Fountain to heal yourself,
it can take a lot of time.
There are good ways to make it shorter.
Just buy maximum of useful items
and die in the forest or let Roshan kill you.
You will lose almost nothing –
the enemy won’t get neither money, nor experience.
And you will have a lot of time saved.
Of course, some newbies can start laughing at you:
«Haha, this loser got killed by creeps!»,
but don’t pay attention to it.
They just didn’t see «I want to know» show.
That’s it, guys, our show is over
and Ursa got to run to bean Dread up once again.
And I’ve got to go as well. Goodbye, everyone!
I want to know
It’s kinda hard, huh…
Are we on air?
Text is kinda hard, I… Yeah, come on…
Oh, we’re on air!?
If on early stage you got a lot of damage on the line
and need to walk to the Fountain to heal yourself,
this walk can…
F#$%, why did I say «walk» again!?
