That link was purple.

We two are a rare breed.

Anyway, I just tried practicing jungling against bots as Enigma. I was disappointed to find myself with only just over 520 GPM or thereabouts.

Then I looked up the averages for various heroes on Dotabuff. The highest average is 481 gpm as Nature's Prophet. The average for Enigma is 377 gpm.

Oy. At least I know my farm isn't why I'm in the trench of the trench (I'm sure normal trench people get better farm). If I were to guess, it'd be positioning, but I regularly see people way worse at that than me (a particular Ursa who liked to run in the middle of the enemy team then complain when we didn't help him after he died comes to mind), but then some are good at other things (that Ursa was certainly not bad at killing things, heh).

Still pretty angry that I didn't break 600.

That's the kind of shit I gotta put up with, man. If I were to guess, that's probably about 400 MMR below me (I.E not much farther down at all).

I don't usually watch dota 2 videos, but this video piqued my curiosity after my close friend linked it :3

I never thought I'd see something stupider than the Radiance Ghostwalk Invoker rampage.

Detection and walking away are for lame-os.

Detection, yes. Walking away, no. 50% slow and 30% self buff.

Radiance is way overpowered on Invoker, if you can manage to farm it early and are in a low skill match, where invisibility might as well be invulnerability. It transitions him well into a semicarry role,  and synergizes with other direct damage items like Satanic, crit stick, and MKB,  using his passive bonuses to make up for his mediocre stat growth, and abusing QQQ and the attack speed bonus spells.

If farmed enough, he is a potent carry with lots of supporting spells to enhance this potential, at the loss of teamfight domination and loss of utility.

Radiance Riki is the kind of thing where if you beat somebody with it you could've beaten them with anything.
