Wow just stumbled onto this series, how great is it!

I have played dota for 5+ years - so I can appreciate the complexity in the games mechanisms.
Your doing a great job making that information assesable and easy to understand.

Keep up the great work

Effective Hit Points. If a hero with 1000 hit points and 25% evasion is being attacked by a drow that does 250 damage per attack; then, she will have to attack your hero 5 times rather than 4 since 1 attack will likely miss. This means, your hero effectively has 1250 HP.

sorry if i´m wrong but Craggy Exterior´s mechanics are that there is a chance to stun unit before it attacks you(before the damage is dealt/ not after) and on lvl 4 the chance is 24%, , , in my opinion that is the form of block... thanks

I don't know about Dota 2 mechanics, but in Dota custom map mechanics, Void's backtrack works like a hp removal. First it takes damage, then it plus the same number of damage taken directly into Void's HP. Hope it helps, and hope that I wasn't wrong all this time.

a tutorial on how to control one or more units like meepo or chen etc., . thanks ur vids surely helped me

[kryskiller]

Not only that. Some spells (Zeus nuke and ult, net from Meepo, Amplify damage from Slardar, ult from BH...) and also the Necronomicon dudes.

Learn dota 2 - Making an effective team composition
how many stuns should you have, how do you determine if you need more carry potential or maybe more support or ganking?

[DrJohn]

Hey firstly thanks for the learn dota videos, they really rock. I would like to learn about best practices for item hot keys as Well as hot keys for macro hero management with multiple units like meepo or necro, thanks again

What he did mention was a upcoming more in depth video on his own channel which is probably going to include what you are talking about. Craggy is not damage block, it is just a armor increase.

There are some clever things you can do to make it more likely to hit however, for example if you know the enemy will run up a ramp you can place the sun on the side of the ramp the enemy is running from, he's sure to pass that area.
Another thing is suns are more likely to hit if the enemy is still running from your team, he's unlikely to change direction.

backtrack from void works like autoheal. its not exactly evasion. note that theres is no "miss" when bactrack proc. your damage is actually hit the void. but when backtrack proc. it autohealed the damage. so mkb wont do anything agaisnt it.
evasion wont stack. will take the higher value i believe.

[hectorbector]

Ok, cool thanks. That's what I'd hoped, I'm glad that it's consistent.

yup: "Counter Helix checks for triggering whenever an attack against Axe begins, not when Axe is actually damaged by said attack. "
and... yup "The stun and damage occur at the beginning of the attack. " - Craggy Exterior

An episode of this with Pyrion Flax will be awesome :)

Effective HP is how much damage you can take before your health reaches zero.
Say, if you have 600 health and lion fingers you, you will still survive because your base magic resistance increases your EHP by 25% to spells. Instead of taking 600 damage and dying, you would only take 450 damage, and still would have 150 HP left. Same thing goes for armor etc.
Basically damage you take is reduced, so your EHP is how much damage you can take before death, and health is not 100% accurate.

Whats complicated about animation cancelling? You just press the S, for stop, or H for hold key to stop attacking.

Spam S in order to last hit effectively.

[GBRDiablo]

effective hit points, armour + life, check the other guide videos

[siskaggelos]

backtrack is trigered healin. when trigered he instantly heals the exact amount of dmg he recieved. there are some cases that he can heal a little.

He does mention it in his ''[Dota 2] Advanced Guide to Evasion and Block '' guide.
