INTRODUCTION
Mazzie, the Snapfire is a ranged hero who can juggle between support and mobile damage dealer. She can bake and save pastries for her allies with the ability A Taste of the Revolution. She can also cast the spell Sic ‘em, in which Fanadin, her mount, jumps toward an area causing damage and slow. Another of her ability is Gatling Volley which pelts the enemies with hot lead. Her ultimate ability, Guzzle Fire, spits a burning liquid towards an enemy hero’s face causing DPS while cutting its vision to zero and disables all forms of allied vision for the targeted unit.
Aunt Mazzie is not new to the scorching flames of conflict. Serving as the mother to many injured keen who find themselves in her custody, she feeds her wounded children cookies and other pastries to soothe their troubled minds and empty bellies. In her own home she would secretly shelter these brave rebels from the armies of the Machine King, a maddened magnate who bought the local Keen government in Iron Fog; he was Aurel’s old boss. Yet after all her effort, her infirmary finally falls after the kindness she freely offered to one of the enemies’ soldiers was reciprocated with betrayal. She was captured, tortured, and imprisoned until the cause that she and her children fought hard for was finally lost.
Offered between the choice of servitude or exile, Mazzie did not hesitate to choose the latter. She was exiled to the Keen prison colony in the Knollen peaks, where she taught herself how to wield a blunderbuss to keep the cold away. Then finally came the day when the exiles of the Knollen peaks outnumbered their guards, the battle was swift. Most of the exiles decided to stay in Knollen, but Mazzie decided that she had to leave. Salvaging the technology of the fallen guards, she crafted a weaponized motorcycle from the bits and bobs. She left Knollen with a man named Brag, a Keen sharpshooter who she fought with in the last battle.
The keen duo has faced many adversities and has made many friends. Brag was a lover of Snapfire dragons and kept one as a pet. But alas father time has finally caught up with Brag, and he dec >

Forum » New Player Help » Mjollnir on PL? 23 posts – page 1 of 3
Not saying that the proc chance of PL’s ult Juxtapose is bad by any means, but I suppose faster attack speed allows you to create more illusions quickly, and then there is the passive chain lightning (or whatever its called) damage on Mjollnir.
So if I have a lot of gold left over, is a Mjollnir worth it? Or should I stick to slightly more standard items like Heart or SoV?

I dont think its worth it later in the game, since a big part of it is the ability to farm faster early in the game. Bu early need need other items like diffusal, and yasha serves the same purpose.
Imo the new PL can mix up his lategame items up a bit more. Before you just wanted butterfly, heart and items like that. He is less about his illusions now, so abyssal is also pretty legit against a static BKB carry. Scythe is obviously still better against slippery targets like ember ofc.

Well it isn’t only a farming item. I find Maelstrom and Mjolnir to be offensive items as well on a hero like sniper, since he needs the lightning and attack speed to kill faster.
He is very much still about illusions. Different kinds of illusions, very different but in the end the illusions are still very important. You still always build Diffusal on him, and level it and you almost always want a heart, you always get drums. There are some new possibilities, but these are utility items. Abyssal is a utility item. Sheep is a utility item. His core and strongest lategame luxury items still remain the same.

Well sure, but sniper’s only steroid is based on attackspeed, and he needs the lightning badly for farming speed. PL could get a mjollnir to get more illusions if you dont have enough attackspeed already, but why would you want more? A different damage item will give more dps.
So the ‘problem’ with lightyear’s suggestion/question is, what will these slightly extra/faster proccing illusions actually do for you? They wont give you more damage then a butterfly of abyssal.
Also you dont just upgrade diffusal, it doesnt increase the manaburn anymore. And its not worth it for the agi increase, your illusions will only get 16% of the 15 damage it gives.

Pudge is a ganking hero, he depend of his ability for ganking and do damage.
Pros: Good combo for ganking (Can kill hero with evade move like AM or Storm Spirit when the combo is well done) Hook –> Best skill for Pudge Great HP gain and damage gain with Flesh Heap Great magic protection with Flesh Heap
Cons: Require good map position. Early on Rot damage you a lot, so be carefull Slow base mouvement speed Slow attack speed Low armor Low intel gain Combo Hook+Dismember is hard to master
Item’s explanations
Carry Pudge Build
Bottle –> You need regen early on, espescially mana regen because you skill take almost all you mana. Dota 2 pugna carry on restrictions Very usefull to rune control middle lane
Urn of shadows –> Great Hp regen when your running around for gank. You can regen your life even if you didnt get the rune. Cast on enemy hero do a good damage output early game so don’t be affraid to use it on enemies.
Magic Wand–> Give you some nice stats for the gold you pay. It give you some more regen in a team fight.
Power Treads –> You have really slow attack speed, this item help you to have more damage output with your auto-attack. With some charge on Flesh Heap, you base attack can make some great damage! Getting your boots before the ganking phase help you to run around the map faster and help chasing enemies. With Rot + Boots enemies can’t really get away from you.
Hand of Midas . –> First you get more attack speed, but it give you a good farming potential when you run around the map for a gank. If you get it early on, use it on big creep so you gain more experience, so you can over level the enemies.
Hyperstone before HoT?? –> Your attack speed give you the opportunity to farm a creep wave very fast. Even better, you can kill enemy with hook and auto-attack is the enemy don’t have an evade move. You force the enemies to focus, because with Rot on and your auto-attack you can ravage them.
HoT–> With all your attackspeed, this item give you more Damage and it give you more HP. The regen of the item is very usefull too because you can regen 2% of your 2% of maximum HP/Sec, with some charge on Flesh Heap, your HP regen is legendary!
Assault Cuirass –> Get more armor, so more effective HP and the minus armor on enemies can really help you and your team to win.
BoT–> Sell Power Treads and go for BoT, it gives you some pushing power and you have more mobility.
Armlet of Morddigan –> Give you some great + strengh. The armor is a great thing because your effective HP is greater. Be carefull of the Hp drain because with Rot on you can drain yourself to death. The Hp/Sec help you regen your life when your running around the map for lonely hero to kill.
Yasha?–> You get more Attack speed, with Armlet on your auto-attack damage is devastating. The movement speed bonus is very usefull. You can run faster, so more gank more chasing more kill!
Sange–> You need more HP, this item give you some. The movement slow possibility is nice too. When you hook and proc the Lesser Miam, the enemy can’t get away.
BKB –> if enemies have a lot of disable/silence, BKB is the item you need. First it gives you more HP but more important your magic immune. So when you activate BKB don’t forget to Activate ROT immediatly since this ability don’t drain your life when BKB is active.
Blade Mail–> Some hard carry troubling you? Buy Blade mail! This item make a Phatom Assasin kill his self.
Monkey King BAr–> An enemy have or is going for Bfly, get this, you can now kill him. You have a lot of attack speed with the Carry Pudge build so this item can be very effective.
Daedelus –> You have a lot of srenght so a lot of base damage, you have a good attack speed now, so this item can make you have so nice Crits! But, you need to have HoT before gettting this item because you need the HP from HoT.
Hook then activate Rot immediatly. After click on your ult and select enemy hero when he’s comming to you because of your Hook. You can target the enemy that is hook. Active your ultimate while the emeny is under your hook. This way the enemy can’t even cast a spell. Anti-Mage can’t get away, same for Storm Spirit. Early game, as soon as you ult is over cast Urn of shadow on your target to have more damage output.
Early game always try to get the rune. At 2 min, if it’s haste, always gank the lane if they don’t see you comming because they have a ward. Remember so drink all your bottle shots before getting the rune.
Wards are very usefull for Pudge, it help you see map so you can land more hook. If your support don’t get some, buy them. Your investimment will be rewarded.
Always carry a TP when your ganking. Exemple: Gank top, hide and TP bottom then gank bot. In pubs games the enemy won’t expect you.
If there is some invisible hero like Riki, BH or some one get Shadow Blade, BUY DUST!! You are a ganker so you need to see your target! And remember, even if your enemy turn invisible your hook will bring him to you and ROT can kill invisible enemy.
I just got back from my first match of Dota, in about a week. Needless to say, before the match I downloaded some new updates. When the gameplay itself started I noticed a major graphical glitch. Everything appeared to be foggy and all I could I really make out was the UI and lifebars. I was forced to use the minimap as navigation for most of the match, and hoped I was using my skills on helpful targets. Needless to say, the match was a train wreck for myself.
Does anyone know how to fix this bug? I have already tried to verify the game cache, and when that failed to work I went as far as uninstalling and reinstalling Dota. Dota 2 bugs 2014 jeep I know as a fact all my drivers are up to date, I do maintenance on this computer once a month and check that kind of stuff. I also know that my hardware is compatible with Dota, unless the system requirements for the game have recently changed.
Below I will leave links to screenshots that I have taken of the mentioned bug.
Search around the forums you will find a solution. It’s a common problem with AMD cards after the latest patch You have to move a slider to balance in your ati catalyst control center or something
I was able to fix it by doing what [D]Mit. suggusted above.
– Open AMD Catalyst Control Center > Games > 3D configurations > Click default in the left bottom corner > Apply >
I had my settings to maximize 3d quality, rather then performance. For some reason that created problems for Dota; it’s still going to be a pain to switch it every time I play Dota. Dota 2 bugs 2014 jeep

This doesnt help me though since i have my 3d options already set to performance, changing them to quality and playing around did not help me. My graphics card is working correctly since there was no updates to it recently and other games such as CSGO, Sanctum, BF are all working just fine. Well, maybe im just gonna have to wait for the solution from valve
That’s strange. To be honest I have no idea then. Maybe a PC restart is required after you change your settings? Note that I set mine to the default settings, not to favor quality or performance. But the problem isn’t a probmel with your card; im sure your card is fine giveing that you can play those other games. It has to do with the way that Dota works with AMD cards.

The Dota 2 teams have gained more than $2,000,000 prize money in the year 2012. Though The International 2 of course was the dominating tournament, $470,000 came from non-Valve tournaments.
Invictus Gaming with its five players Zhou, Ferrari, YYF, ChuaN and Faith has gained the most prize money of all Dota 2 in year 2012. The International with its million Dollar prize of course gave the that title to the Chinese team. They lead the table of summed up and to USD converted prize money from Dota 2 tournaments in 2012. Apart from The International, iG also had success in G-1 League and the World Cyber Games, summing up to $1,026,400 of total prize money.
iG is followed by the TI2 runner-ups Na’Vi and LGD, with $323,840 and $197,300 total prize money in the last year. Best team in this ranking without any winnings from Seattle is mTw, shortly followed by Empire and fnatic. The ranking is conducted by 174 final placements in tournament and leagues by teams in 2012 which were awarded with prize money. Not the composition of a roster was decisive, but the tag the team played under. Single showmatches were not included.

Without The International tournament, the field is much more heterogeneous, and got more weight on the western scene. Team EG, mousesports and NoTidehunter all almost scratched the value of $20,000 prize money outside of Seattle. Best Asian team outside of TI2 was LGD. cn with huge success at G-1 League and The Asia in the last quarter of 2012.
The prize money list gives an overview about the minimum of prize money earned by the teams in the whole year. With the large amount of tournaments throughout the year, the Valve-hosted and sponsored tournament The International accounted for 77% of the total prize money. This means Valve awarded 3.4 times as much money as the other tournaments combined, down from a ratio of around 25 in year 2011. Na’Vi alone got every sixth Dollar of the non-TI2 prize money, iG about half of the total prize money.

When divided by months, the strong growth of Dota 2 throughout the year is clearly visible. Tournaments are considered only by their ending date, as that is the date when the winners are determined. While the first quarter of the year barely breached the $30,000, this was distributed within a week on average in both November and December.
If the level of the fourth quarter can be hold for the whole year 2013, third-party prize money would be doubled again compared to 2012 and breach the million Dollar barrier. Overall the November with G-1 League in China and DreamHack Winter in Europe set the record for non-TI prize money in 2012.
2013 could also bring even more growth as tournaments like GEST and SMM still can make the switch over from DotA to Dota 2 with their regular tournaments.

If these numbers from Dota 2 in 2012 are compared to other eSport games, the Top 200 players of Starcraft 2 have earned prize money worth $3,350,000 in 2012 according to SC2earnings. com, League of Legends also had a massive $2,000,000 Riot-sponsored Season 2 final in Los Angeles this year, but you would need the all-time winnings of the three most successful quartets in CS 1.6 combined to surpass the winnings of iG in this year according to Thorin’s take.

Area 11 is a Gaijin rock band from Bristol, England, that draws heavy influence from various anime series. They have dubbed the style of music they play “Gaijin Rock”, a blend of J-Pop and Western shred rock, and they are attempting to establish this as a new, standalone genre. The lyrics of said Gaijin Rock songs usually reference the anime they draw influence from. However, unlike that other band, all of the references they make are subtle enough that someone who perhaps doesn’t like anime can listen to them without being scared off. In fact, even the band name is a subtle reference; “Area 11” was the name for Japan in Code Geass.

Their debut album, All The Lights in The Sky was released on January 31st 2013. Half the band note Specifically, Sparkles* and Parv. are members of the Yogscast where they did video and sound editing (Sparkles* left his full-time post at some point in 2014), and this fact certainly hasn’t hurt them getting their name out. They were also signed to a record label made by the Yogscast, Yogscast Studios, who helped them release their debut album onto iTunes, though “Underline” was later released independently. Before then, they released their work on their BandCamp, but after releasing their debut album they chose to remove their EP, Blackline Complete from the site, due to each of the songs being re-recorded for All The Lights in The Sky.
They have also created the ending theme for the Bravoman animated series, titled “GO!! Fighting Action Power”, and are also responsible for the opening theme, “Wonder Wars”, of the Wonder Momo anime.

On May 1st of 2014, Area 11 had officially released Homunculus for free download on Dropify. note Although you need a Facebook account to get it. The band has gone on their first tour, the aptly named The Ichi Tour, and started their second tour, aptly called the The Ni Tour, in October 2014.
Area 11 released Underline EP, their second EP to date, on November 1st. The band has promoted the EP by playing some of their newer songs from the EP live during The Ichi Tour. This was released independently of the Yogscast Studios label.
Their second album, Modern Synthesis, debuted in July 2016, this time under Cooking Records. Unlike ATLITS, it focuses less on anime-inspired lyrics.

Luke Owens: Guitar, backup vocals (2010-2012, left due to start the sleaze rock band Teasing Demons, although the band have confirmed they’re still on good terms)
Tim Yearsley: Bass guitar (2011)
They provide examples of:
Action Girl: Whoever “Cassandra” is, she might possibly be this. It’s not 100% clear.
Ambient: Sparkles* released one on his Soundcloud, located here . The song itself is called “Prologue III (Echodeath)”, lasts for 20 minutes, and supposedly is a massive clue to his game, “Digital Haunt”.
Album Filler: System;start is presumably there to make the tracks add up to eleven, after two other tracks (“Homunculus” and “[HUMAN IS DEAD, MISMATCH]”) were cut.
Album Title Drop: All the Lights in the Sky appears in the lyrics of “Heaven-Piercing Giga Drill” (although the song predates the album) and the fourth movement of “Bōsōzoku Symphonic”, which is appropriately titled the same.
Alcohol-Induced >He gets killed off not long after being introduced, prompting Sparkles* to flee as his boss is dead and he fears he’ll be held responsible.
Hat Films and In The Little Wood both appear in “Monopoly”. The former are playing the titular game with the band and kicking up a fuss about how they aren’t allowed to be the top hat, while the latter appears in a Do Not Try This at Home disclaimer.
Christmas Song: Their single “Minecraft Christmas”, released on the BlueXephos channel. It doesn’t place an emphasis on Christmas being wonderful and magic, and is more set around it. While it starts off a little depressing (not the music. That’s upbeat the whole way through), with the character being alone on Christmas eve. Things get progressively better for the character, until at the end it’s as happy as any other Christmas Song. And for a brief moment, it even charted, partially helped by being a charity single.
Cover Version:
Shi No Barado was released in unison with several versions:
One by Superpowerless.
Another by I Fight Dragons.
And one by the band themselves, but in Japanese.
Yet another one, combining the vanilla and Japanese versions, was released online a while after the single’s debut.
There was also “DOTA 2 Beta Key”, a lyric-changing cover of Basshunter’s “All I Ever Wanted”.
Crossover: The band d >Sparkles*: For some reason I have all this knowledge of how to do things in this world.
4 Chord Song

The Dream Team performs the 4 Chord Song in 2012.
The 4 Chord Song is a song that was played during the Yogscast Christmas Livestreams by Area 11’s Sparkles* and Parv, with Martyn and Strippin. In 2013, the 4 Chord Song was re-mastered and made much longer, and it was performed by Sparkles*, Martyn, Strippin, Minty, Kaeyi, and Sam Gibbs.
The chords that were used in 2012 were C G Am F. They first mention these at the beginning of the video on Sam`s channel. The chords that were used in 2013 were E B C#m A, or as Minty played it, G D Em C with capo on 2.
