personally I think even tho u might get some interest people will do whatever the fuck they want anyway
hon people are too emo, oh he called me a noob i'm gonna throw game boohoo

hmmm another 3k silver useless avatar, i mean do people even buy these anymore?
what happened to the 400-500 ones or does shit2 want to make silver coins useless


if I can get 5 people to learn how to play this game by thinking rather than just doing then I've wasted no time writing this
how many times have you seen a useless ass ward that was a waste of a ward + 100fg? like, when you're on the complete offense, other team has no map control, and someone places a ward on one of the big hills on your side
or when you're on the extreme defensive and someone places on the opposite side hill etc, dies in the process

probably the most problems people have arises from the intangibility of most things you need to do to win. counterwarding is definitely one of the least noticeable things, but can really change the game
stacking, also not that noticeable, is pretty important rather than standing around and doing nothing
there's just a lot of things people fail to do and hopefully they'll read and maybe i'll get less shitty supports on my team

as I said u might get some interest but most noobs won't ever listen
i mean i see people with games that range from 500-1k who still don't ward/don't know how to ward proper
not to mention the countless times i'm waiting to stack and some tard comes and just attacks at :50 or so
or going mid and right as i'm about to get bottle at 2 min I see a non upg curier halfway through long lane delivering 3xrunes+mana pot

Ok guys. I finally did it. The perfect Arachna game using Smacktrix build / strategy. The general item order is steamboots -> whispering -> portal key -> hellflower -> whatever. As soon as you get whispering, dominate a minotaur or catman. Do this every time the cooldown is up. Use them to creep jungle. 1 minotaur or catman can clear the easy camp before needing to go heal. When you get 2 or 3 minos/catmen though, you can clear almost entire jungle with some micro before creeps have to go back. Do this while farming other lanes for max GPM. Also, NO HERO in the game can withstand a 400+ GPM Arachna's blink -> hellflower -> ulti -> autoattack combo. Seriously, Arachna built this way is THE BEST solo ganker in the game. You need good positioning to play the hero properly, but it has huge potential if you keep your farm / micro / positioning correct.

Note: Skillbuild wise, it depends alot on the opponent you face mid. Against a gay ranged hero whose just going to stay back and never let you near them and that you don't think you can kill easily with ulti at 6 (such as Valk), do NOT even get your first skill. Go 3rd skill / stats. Also, after level 9, against lots of lineups you don't even want to bother with your 2nd skill at all. Stats are alot better unless you absolutely need the dispell. Even then, I advocate going only one level of Harden Carapace and pumping stats the rest of the time. Arachna's power is raw damage, you should blink in, kill someone, then get out ASAP, you won't be tanking alot of the time and with good positioning you don't really need 2nd skill that often. Bottom line, unless you think it absolutely necessary, pump stats and third skill over anything. Lots of the time I only have stats/3rd skill/ulti until like level 14, but I'm dealing 200 damage a hit with minimal items.

when u stomp like that item wise and build it doesn't really matter
when it's a close game and u have similar gpm PK on arac is a waste, imo

gj on the immortal tho!
