//yeah faster!

actualli haf nothing much to post about actualli. but just feeling veri happi dat my hana yori dango is downloading at quite a fast rate. i think im gonna catch it 2 night. still 2 hours more. meanings ill be sleepin veri late tonight. nvm...

anyway. i think hand of midas should be buffed. i think they should reduce it's cooldown by a little. and decrease the gold gained. i just noticed gold recieved is nt 200-300 but actualli 150-200. somewhere around there. if you get those bigger creeps.

heres my list of dota "nominations"

top 3 most annoying heros to fight
KOTL, Enchantress, OmniKnight

top 3 most intimidating heros
Juggernaut, Sven, Motred (with maxed blur)

top 3 underrated heros
holy knight chen, chaos knight, faceless void

top 3 overrated heros
bone clinz, sand king, skeleton king

top 3 ubber moves
eyes of the forest, wind walk, storm bolt

top 3 nicest spell/item icon
new mana void, butterfly, rapier

anyway more to come. hope dex n wr can come up wif their own list n catogarys so i can extend mine too. woot.

lol anyway im quite happi wif the new 6.27b version. as in, i feel tt its quite balanced. up to know i dun think there is any major abusable bug. just that today somehow when i click on the ground randomly i saw the selection circle of a dopplewalked PL. i wonder if tts a bug, or just pure tyconess. den i was about to strike him with my spells den i noticed he dopplewalked like 2 secs b4. so i din do much.

anyway i think i shld write up abit of how Fake Blink works.

fake blink is actualli an easily executed move. well, more of a halfspell. it doesn't require mana, doesn't have cooldown. it's simply a "free" move that the antimage has. (or any1 with blink dagger i presume). i think that this technique, when put into good use, can be realli deadly. n its realli underrated.

first, i think in very tense matches. players r often being very careful with incoming attacks. any sign of an attack coming, and they get ready to counter, run or respond 2 your attack.

with fake blink, we can bring in some deception into your lane. first, whenever you feint blink, your opponent will naturally move back a few spaces, thinking that you'll goin to chop him. 2nd, it can be also used as an distraction. the blinkin animation can be quite annoying and you can also do it around the creep range to prevent him or disturbing his concentration to do last hit. more useful in 1v1.

however, there r also cons of fake blinking. as in. if one has nt mastered it. he will end up either wasting his blink or blinkin into enemy creeps and taking alot damage. thus it is a very risky move. and to keep doin it, you need consistancy and technique. i dun realli use it alot. i like to do it once or twice. becoz up to noe i dun haf e confidence to repeatly do it.

i know once in a public game i irritated my enemy wif that dat he demanded to change lanes lol.

there r several variations of fake blink i can think of.

first wud be the general fake blink real blink deception.

just trick him to think that you're goin 2 attack. den the subsiquently just attack him once and the rest worry him with your fake blinks. dat wud keep his stress level high and distract him from his actual plans. whilst defending, you can attack him mentally and stress him out. i know im like abit overrating it, lol. but seriously. it can be quite helpful.

2nd wud be the fake escape.

the problem wif antimage for your opponents is that when you actually blink to them and start choppin them. they have to make a decision fast. whether to FIGHT on or run. that is the crucial choice when fighting antimage. and that is the choice the antimage player has to make as well. normally this fake escape is used when people start the fight. in other words, when they come towards you. with their spells in their arsenal fully charged up and ready to pwn your sorry ass. inexperience players wud soon realize after having chopped by the antimage several times that most of their spells wud be rendered useless after wasting their mana on the first spell. usually people like to initiate assaults with a spell. such as a "move to u n dmg u", a nuke or whatsoever. to gain the edge. and to finish the cooldown early to allow them a possible repeat of that spell if it has a short cooldown. so by using fake escape means you click at a random direction, (possibly at where your creeps are), but don't actualli blink there. in other words. do a fake blink. he'll get distracted by the light from the animation and there, he don't have a chance to pull back and run. most of the time, if you steal that 0.5 seconds from him. you'll probably have the edge in the game itself, and mentally. that shd give you the kill.

ok what i said seems lame. i haf nt tried it. but it seem like quite a gd plan to mi...

im thinking of ways to abuse fake blink.

i think im gettin obsessed wif dota. tmr i shall type more about it.
