I understand why you would get Radiance. It adds damage, a small little evasion boost and also helps you farm by causing 40 damage per second to nearby critters. But the dumb thing is that you need to be visible and not cloaked in order for the aura to hurt.

No you don't, that's whats fun about it. You run in invisible, and harass the heroes and they're like "WTF?" and run. But with that build, they always know where you are :(.

But wouldn't a buff say you are being infected with the effects of Radiance? If they have detection units or skills, they can easily find out you are in the region.

Well it's funny to chase heroes around with it and then wait until they are like under half then go in for the kill.

Those matches are boring from what I hear. It is the same strategy every game.

not really. my team is constantly changing strategies + we have diff lineups when certain heroes are picked so it isn't really the same thing everytime. besides, it is nice to play a game full of decent people that won't leave instead of being stuck with pubbies. cal games rely a lot on teamwork more than an individual player's skill.

Well, the problem is there are a few select DotA clans that are actually good. Most just play -ap -sm all day and thier chieftan is only good because he knows how to run back into allies, let them do the killing, then they mulch off the rewards.

I don't like clans. The last one I was in didn't know what -TR was. I left soon after.

I hate clans myself for anything. I am in WoC because my AT Partner is in WoC.

Well, I will leave if my clan is stupid. But apparently it is. Gs400 (Fr0zen's random account) isn't getting too good with micro outside his orc races. Plus another grunt (Ridules or something), was a big ass noob. On a 3on1 harass, he tries to get to my wisps (guarded in a trench by my main tree and an Aow). I whacked and mbed half his health gone before he managed to root a wisps. The 2 blademasters come in and we slayed 2 of the 3 heroes (a warden tried to pull the same stunt). So yeah, I don't really like my clan mates cause I think they suck and I could kick thier ass. It was probably the same idea with you when you played DotA in clans.

But it is still teh same lineup, such as enigma/kardel/tp/cm/sand king ?

I don't know for sure, but mainly characters with AOE ultimates and then 1 power hitter (kardel).
