I play a lot of LC and it's weird, some games it just seems like duel doesn't work, like I'm clicking on the heroes and she just doesn't want to do it. I totally get it, maybe I was having a bad game, maybe it's because I hadn't played her a few days, maybe I was just tired, but time after time I blink in and somehow just miss.

Is it just me, does this ever happen to anyone else? Was the enemy team just quicker than me? But it feels like it happens maybe one out of 15 games where it feels like my clicks just ain't clicking!

edit to add match id, can't believe I forgot lol

Last night had a game where my team COULD have pushed hg early and gave up big kills and easily lost. But my entire team played patient and smart and we choked out the enemy. It sucked, because it made the game last way longer. But I've been on both sides of this, and as the team with the advantage nothing is worse than getting rosh and tormentor trying for hg and maybe only getting a tower and getting wiped. And I've been the defending team where the enemy fucks up hg siege and suddenly my team steam rolls to the ancient.

So shout out to my team for playing slow and patient and not going hg until we were impossible to kill.

I remember some time ago when orb of venom, blight and frost were somewhat common to get either at the start or early when harassing. But 300 or 350 gold is a lot early. But I wonder if I'm missing out by never thinking about these items.

I was thinking if an OoV would be nice on AA so every time you use chilling touch you add some damage for harass. They both have the same cool down. But then it's like, do you just sale it? You certainly aren't building any items it builds into and laning only lasts so long, is it really going to help you burn 350 gold worth of health regen on the enemy? Doubtful.

Upgrading to AM5, I have a 9070xt, wondering if I should figure out a trip 45 minutes to the Microcenter or of newegg/prime day deals can get me something and save myself the drive (I don't have a car, so I gotta plan it via a friend with a vehicle) looking to spend $500-600, but will to go $700 already got a cpu cooler. Bonus if theres a combo with an ssd!

Would it be so slot efficient that nearly every hero would upgrade to s/y/k? What if there was no added bonus from bracer, wb and null?

You first phase pick Bounty Hunter pos 4 because your offlane was hovering LC or Nightstalker, your mid on Puck or Qop. But for whatever reason instead of picking fighting heroes they picked farming ones. Or maybe the enemy team is global or they are sticking together. Either way every time you try to gank it isn't working or no one wants to gank with you.

What do you do when you're forced to take farm off the map rather than from track kills/assists.

You cant take dangerous farm because even though you're invis, you don't kill waves. What do you do? Baby sit carry so they don't get gone on?

Grab a maelstrom or meteor hammer and hammer random waves in the back then pop into jungle?

Just looking for a fun mobile, Android game to play when I'm at work, something with a pause, or turn based that I can put down at a moments notice.

Maybe some rpg elements where I'm upgrading stuff, could have RTS elements too. Like a base defense.

I don't want any of that weird advertisement bait games where after 2 days you have coins, gold, rubies and other stuff waiting for something to upgrade the whole day.

Also maybe doesn't really have to be zombies as long as it has some of these elements.

Had this Zues on my team His build order was wand, bottle, mana boots, kaya, phylactery, sange then finally at 37 minutes scepter.

Kept waiting for his nimbus in fights all mid game and for the life of me could not figure out why it never came. Entire team flamed him, I asked him to explain the build and they said nothing. Thought maybe he was doing right click build? But not even that.

Mid zues ought to have scepter by like 15 minutes right? I swear I get it before 20 as a pos 4 Zues some games. He didn't get his until after flaming and minute 37 where it was way too late and had zero impact.

*edit, clarification on item timings

I read it several times, what does it do and how does it work? I'm at work so I can't fire it up and toy around with it.

From the liquidpedia

Both attack damage and spell damage instance sourced to Gyrocopter grants self a movement speed bonus stack per affected enemy hero for a certain duration.

Due to the responses I got in my last post I decided to be humbled, to learn and to do better.

So I when I queued up my games and got pos 4/5 I made it my mission to always have wards/sents in my items, to grab no items for myself except for wand/magic stick unless it seemed necessary. Anytime I found myself killing a creep wave solo I checked the shop and made sure I had bought the wards/sents/smokes or dust if needed. Other than blink on Lion I made sure my items were for the team, except my last game when I was being heavily targeted as lion and had to go ghost scepter into euls before my blink just to live.

But needless to say, trusting my teammates to play their roles and making sure I got items to help them, I have been on a win streak. So thanks for the input and I'm sure my teammates would thank you all as well!

I had a game last night where I was playing pos 5 Hoodwink and I was getting flamed early then got commended by my entire team at the end of the match.

Do you think it's worth gambling getting blamed, and possibly reported if you switch your role because you know there's no other way for your team to win?

First trouble started when I saw Ogre mid, second sign was when I saw our pos 3 Pudge missing 80% of his hooks and dying. I gave out Spec a decent start and she had a good head on her shoulders. I rotate a few times and get several kills in top and mid. And as I look at my team and the amount of gold I was sitting on I make an executive decision. Grabbing my maelstrom and am going to do what I can for this game. The Pudge started flaming me about wards and I tell him, I'm going to be the only reason we actually win this game, I'm not supporting anymore.

We go on to have a very hard game, how come I always have the Pudge that misses easy hooks and the enemy team always get lvl 30 Pudges that make insane plays? Anyways, we won, but I have had games where I think switching to a damage build is going to help and we still lose. Sometimes all the auras, lotus, solar crests won't fix a bad pos 1 or 2. In this case I was lucky and our Spec was great, but Ogre literally did not come online until lvl 25.

Here's the game in question

https://www.dotabuff.com/matches/8816850898

As an offlane I typically like to go for aura items, but if I am the initiation for my team should I be going for items that just affect me?

As a centaur, if I want magic resist, do I go for wraps? When os wraps better than pipe?

When do I want crimson gaurd or do I want to rush plate mail after I get my vanguard?

I always seem to have trouble where I dominate my lane, get ahead. But seem to not be effective in the mid to late. I don't know if it's because in the games I've played him my pther lanes did awful and maybe I'm over reacting in a sense or of I'm making bad item choices that aren't helping.

Tldr, when to aura, when to protect self?

I have been rocking this Mobo, CPU RAM for some time maybe at least 5-7 years? And I just upgraded from a 3060 12GB to the 9070 xt and when I play resident evil 9 I have noticed that the CPU gets to about 90C and I can kind of smell it getting warm at certain parts of the game. Should I worry? Or should I upgrade my stock CPU cooler? I don't want to spend too much since I am planning on upgrading to DDR5 next year.

Mobo: Gigabyte Intel B660M DS3H DDR4

CPU: Processor 12th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-12400F, 2500 Mhz, 6 Core(s), 12 Logical Processor(s)

RAM: 2x Patriot Viper Steel 16GB 288-Pin PC RAM DDR4 3600

GPU: AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT

Disk: spcc m.2 pcie ssd 1TB

Monitor: MSI MAG 271QP X24

Case: LIAN LI LANCOOL 207

PSU: be quiet! Pure Power 13 M 850W

I haven't seen him at all, but was thinking he would be a nice pick next time I have a pos 4 Spirit Breaker on my team.

From what I looked up, he is hovering at 49-51% win rate depending on rank. I know he's typically best vs agi carrys, he maybe suffers from the tank cores in this meta.

Anyone using him lately and have any input?

This bull shit 3 lose streak or more. Every time. With out fail. I get put in a game that is a disaster at draft (doom pos 1...) has a smurf on the other team. Or is straight up unbalanced, my team is all archon 4/5 and enemy team is all legend 1/2. There is 100% some kind of system that puts you through a gauntlet before you go up to your next rank.

/end rant

So my roommate who owns the house we live in has an incredibly infrequent leak in the guest room/office. It's on the 2nd floor of a 3 floor row home. Connected on one side, not on the other. We live in Philly where we get heavy rain sometimes, but it isn't the norm. The leak in this room only happens during very heavy rain and only like once or twice a year. Over the 8 years of having the home he's patched the dry wall twice only to have the leak make its presence known down the line.

One roofer thought it was something from his neighbors roof. Neighbor got roof replace still happened. Another roofer thought it was our roof, then my roommate got the roof redone, still happens. He said him and a buddy did the hose trick to try and find if water was coming through the facade somewhere, but didn't find anything.

I swear it has to be a facade issue, the last place I was in had a similar problem that wasn't fixed until the facade got patched up.

Any advice, what kind of company should he be looking into to hopefully get to the bottom of this issue?

Hey all we have a 2011 hyundai elantra touring gls se 2.0, trying to replace the camshaft sensors and well, just can't seem to find them when looking, and nothing online has been any help. This engine seems to be a bit different than the others, because nothing has been of help.

In the image we thought it would be near these caps

Thanks for any help!
