I've been watching a ton of pro-player replays,, and one thing I can't figure out is the following:

why do they leave tomes at ground (tome of agility +2, tome of strenght +2) etc?
it makes no sense to me,, they don't pick them up at most games!

example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CQYkcy_lA2A&feature=related

is there any particular reason for this? aren't tomes good for heroes?

ty

different heroes has different main atributes. for instance blade master has agility for damage and speed so a +2 agil tomb will increase its damage
tauren chieftan has strength for damage and health so +2 str tomb will increase its give it damage and health

play some custom games to find out more. like footman vs grunts

no no,,

what happens is the following: elf players creep an expasion, tome of agility drops, he doesn't pick it up with his warden (agi hero),
undead player goes there, also ignores it
elf player goes there agian, ignores it

tomes stay there until end of the game
same for a tome of knowledge,, what is the reason for that?

Prob just forgot or didn't notice or maybe just no time to pick it up because they have to make some sorta fast move.

You can't see tomes with maphacks.


LOL "putting up a necropolis very nice play by ted now"

"meanwhile some VERY NICE harassment by soccer here" as he runs toward a slaughterhouse . . . . . what the fuck is this supposed to be?

oh i see,, that makes sense!

im asking myself the same question
probably they just dont give a fuck about tomes

I don't notice agi tomes sometimes if they're against grass. it happens XD

since they bother dropping a fucking circlet while healing to get +10 more hp or sth it doesn't really seem like the smartest thing out there to do . . .

ya, Im watching more replays, those guys are really good
