i HATE playing fucking pos 3
Jesus christ
You shit stomp ur lane and then noone, EVER comes to play dota with you

Do i follow my specter around who I _KNOW_ will feed?

How do i actually try in a game like this where i'm solo for 60 fucking minutes after laning phase ends
>>
>>572641078
2345 are supposed to run around like retards making space for 1 to get his 1-2 items he needs to start pushing towers.
the problem is 2345 all try to farm like 1 most of the time.
>>
>>572641302
and 1 doesn't know that he's supposed to stop farming and fight with the team at some point.
>>
>>572641078
It depends. If you're a pusher, you stay in lane and push, if the enemy pos 1 is a better pusher, then you go push the other lanes and come back. If you're a ganker, you gank once you got your basic core items. If you're a brawler, you start BROOOOOLING mid or with the pos 1 who refuses to leave lane. Etc. etc. This is general macro decision making, not just for pos 3.

I've had pos 1 players bitch me out more and more for pushing the tower too early because they liked the creep wave to stay close to their tower so there's that to consider. I disagree with their thinking but if they want to farm that way, I'll just push other towers.
>>
>>572641302
no
the problem is the pos 1 is a retard who will ALWAYS FEED when we have a lead
he will ALWAYS GO MINDLESSLY HIT TIER 3 with everyone on the enemy alive

People queuing carry have never carried a game in their lives, wins just happen by accident for them
No pressure on the guy at all, literally all he has to do is farm, not die 5 times sitting in his lane for 15 minutes.. not try to hunt enemy junglers.. not push, JUST GO FARM
>>
I'm done. FUCKING DONE with this garbage game. Dota 2 can rot in hell.Every single game I'm the best player on the map by a mile carrying these braindead monkeys on my back, perfect last hits, great rotations, outplaying everyone while my "teammates" are busy feeding, flaming in chat, and throwing the game at 20 minutes. I drop 20+ kills, 10 assists, and still lose because some 2k MMR animal decided to jungle LC all game or rage buyback and run down mid.Valve doesn't give a shit. Matchmaking is a fucking joke. Toxic community is irredeemable. Years of my life wasted on this slot machine disguised as a MOBA.This is it. Uninstalling for good. I'm too good for this trash anyway. Enjoy your 40 minute games with 4 idiots, I'm out.

Huh?
>>
>>572641830
The problem is, I shit stomp my lane, this means my teammates think the game is free and they don't have to try anymore

Then the pos 4 disappears to go feed somewhere else, since we "won" our lane
As a pos 3 you are relying on your mid/carry to be human beings who can end a game
>>
Carries think its acceptable to die 15 times in a game with COMPLETE FREE FARM since all our lanes won

You can't ever win these games, your deaths give 1k-1.5k gold
>>
>>572642179
I don't know, sounds like you have plenty of shit you can do.

So what if the pos 4 fucks off and the pos 1 is a retard? The pos 1 isn't that relevant until they farm several items. It's all (You). If you win your lane, you have an early game farm advantage. So you use that to push the enemy's shit in. Your teammates might not be trying but that doesn't mean you shouldn't. You should be doing everything you can do grief the enemy team without feeding yourself. There might come a point where the enemy team catches up or you can't go forwards without your carry, but you shouldn't be completely helpless when that time comes. Watch your teammates, help your teammates, build for the occasion so when the time comes to win you can drag their sorry asses across the finish line kicking and screaming.

It's not just a pos 3 thing. It's every role. And that's how you have to play if you want to climb. Forever. Because the trench never ends.

Accept that pubs will always be retards and faggots. You can't seethe about being disappointed if you never had expectations in the first place. Then just focus on being a winner yourself.
>>
>>572641975
usually the reply to this kinda post is "only constant lol" because certain types dont want to acknowledge how important match quality is to actually being able to impact games, win or lose. usually these "certain types" are the reason why match quality is in the shitter in the first place

back in like 2012-2017ish, match quality was better. there was no party queue boosting, no role queue and players and didn't "soft grief" on their way to more tokens or whatever. every player also knew how to play every role passably well, or they wouldn't climb. it is in this racist's opinion that having a mostly firstie playerbase was better too. anyway, why is that important for climbing? well let me explain it this way. all players were playing at close to 100% what their mmr suggested, so you 2 teams with a nearly equal power level battling it out. so if you were slightly better than your rank, you'd affect match outcomes pretty consistently and climb.

lets jump forward in time to 2026. every player is either playing at 150% or like, -50% impact depending on whether they are sweating on their main role or griefing on support. that means your team is either going to sit at 750% power level or like -250% depending on how lucky you were with the matchmaker. whatever impact you may have had gets simply swallowed up. and yes, the matchmaker does try to role match too even if badly, but it can't take into account when the our friends from the global south queue on their boosted account or when their starlink is disconnecting every 5 minutes. everything is horribly inconsistent. even if you perform at 150% of what your rank would suggest, it barely has any impact on the match. like why bother queuing up when i'm not going to matter anyway? i'm just rolling the dice on whether i get retards or not

You're only tilting yourself. Go push a lane and force TPs and get farm for yourself. Force the win, not confirm the fake loss in your mind.

>>
>>572648405
Right now you're like the Spectre moping in a lane where she can't farm. You don't try or look elsewhere, just at the ground in front of you refusing to change or move.

This isn't League of Legends where you're stuck in the same place forever. You're allowed to move lanes and do other shit no how weird or unconventional it is. So tilt less, win more.

It's not about moving lanes or playing the map
It's that you can't fucking play the game 1v4, where the enemy will respond to you doing things

And if you get a lead, your teammates will ALWAYS MINDLESSLY HIT TOWERS TO FEED

Literally just won a game where the enemy did exactly that, our carry died like a retard being 0/1/1 at 30 minutes afk farming
So they get aegis, and this 15-5 enemy TA who is 6 slotted thinks she can hit a tier 3
Dies twice, they get mega'd and lose

Literally has nothing to do with anything I could or couldn't have done, its just rolling the dice whether your team or enemy team will feed at tier 3's
>>
Like back when I could talk, I would pick something like pugna, shit stomp my lane, take all towers, tell team to sit behind me for a minute while I nuke the tier 3

But oh no my team thinks we are ~winning~
Which means BLINK INTO 5 LIKE AN ANIMAL

I want my team to think they are LOSING so they go farm or sit in base not feeding

As an IO main I have demands for my unloved and casually raped hero.

>Shard
Makes IO untargetable and disarmed while tethered
OR
Gives IO an EVIL tether ability to leech the hp/mp regen from an enemy hero and add it to his own (sol it gets send to the ally as well)
>Aghs
Second tether, increase break range by 450 units, applies 0.5 seconds invulnerability on allied hero when tethered.
OR
Constant overcharge, untargetable, bound to the back of a hero and slows their turnrate down to 1/3rd speed.

I'd love to propose him tethering to towers but DEFENSE of the ancients absolutely fucking hates engaging with the DEFENSE structures so fuck me I guess.

-and disabled. Turn him into a less fuckable Yummi. I'm tired of being required to euls/glimmer just because I'm giving another player a pussy weak amount of hp/mp and a decent but not character defining amount of AS. Shit SUCKS and I long for the times when IO was unslowable so I could pull mad jukes. Although I don't miss back when tether was just a duration when I first started before Reborn. Although the 20% damage reduction toggle for his E might turn him into a rapist of a support if that were brought back.

I wish there was a way to completely wipe your brain of any knowledge of dota and start fresh, some of my habits are from when the game was compeltely different back in 2013/14 when I started. Split second decisions are based off memory and game sense, something that worked over a decade ago wont' work today.

Are you asking because you want to optimise Oracle rewards for future acts? If you're already done act 1, then wait to spend the Oracle stones I guess. The time limit is only on obtaining the stones, not spending them. You can dump the stones all in one go.

It's a good thing to think about because the Oracle seems to be a global mechanic like the Candyworks, not limited to just Act 1. It could mean that they'll use the same tickets throughout the whole thing since it gives ticket rewards and it's obviously simplified compared to Crownfall tarot-themed.

Is warlock trash nowadays? His slow was always weak, but now that so many heroes got built-in mobility, stats would almost be a better choice. Burst have gone through the roof, and his heal that used to be fantastic is now just barely able to sustain a push.
>>
>>572703591
they made is so his slow generate damage via the minions which makes him able to farm

They finally fixed the role queue requirements. You can now select pos5 OR pos3, you don't have to select both.
>>
>>572718407
Explain to me why pos 3 is in the least popular roles.
Actually explain it from both ways
>why is pos 3 so unpopular
>why is pos 4 more popular when these days it's a cuck role not dissimilar from 5, yet pos 5 is way less popular
>>
>>572718513
Pos 3 is the most unpopular role due to pos 4s.
>>
>>572718513
pos4 has no defined role so people like picking it and doing whatever the fuck. The most important thing a pos4 can do is not fuck his pos3's lane (which they do, often, that's why pos3 isn't fun) and aside from that you can go afk jungle with Zeus or rush Mjolnir on Hoodwink or whatever and most teams have no expectations of you.
>>
>>572718513
Pos 3 has been completely irrelevant for years
>>
Which one is pos3 again? Mid?
>>572718224
Shit fucking taste pleb
>>
>>572718926
>Which one is pos3 again?
Offlane, but the whole point of "positions" is to determine farm priority, which no one pays attention to but still use the terminology. Famously Bulldog was pos1 for Alliance often, with Loda giving up farm for him despite Bulldog playing offlane and Loda playing carry.
A lot of the time the mid player is "pos1" and not the carry.
>>
Is this why gorgc never became pro? this dude just sound uncoachable, I'll be tilted too if i was their mid and he's just yapping and couldn't carry them a single game

Pos 4 more popular because you control the game flow.
>Hit up mid?
>Go bot?
>Steal water runes
>Go for power rune
>Block enemy triangle?

>Click smoke

That's what drives me mad the most. It's 50 gold at game start, maybe it gets dewarded quickly, but if it isn't, then it's free lane equilibrium for all the laning phase.
>>
Most times pos4s aren't even on lane. At least pos5 players try to throw spells, try to harass, the pos4 is jerking his dick between our camp and the tower even when the wave is pushed under theirs. Just afk, standing there watching.
>>
>>572720665
Not being on lane as pos 4 is actually better than being on lane because pos 3 is too irrelevant to support
>>
It's minute 5:40 and you're playing pos4, do you:

>A. Help the pos3 that is determined to get the lotus
>B. Help the pos2 secure/deny the power rune
>C. Take gate and help the pos1 and pos5 get their lotus, fighting there 3v2
>D. Stack both camps in the triangle

because of how bad pos4 players are.
never pick a pos3 that can't jungle by level 5, or a tempo pick like night stalker when you're in pisslow and you don't know if your pos4 is going to be a range creep or a TI qualifier.

As pos 4 you have to make the decision whether it's even worth supporting the pos 3 as there's often half a dozen other things you could do that are more important.

>>572724596
I usually go E W W Q or E W Q W depending on lane.

Early shackle in lane is pretty overrated unless you got a follow-up slow or DPS steroid to go with it. If you have to use it frequently to save your core, you're fucked for the rest of the lane because you have no mana now.

W first used to be amazing when Killshot was still around at lv 1. Now I think it's a waste of mana until you're like lv 4-5 so you can do Q W combos and set up a kill for your lane partner, not yourself because you blew your load so there's nothing left with your meagre mana pool.

>>572766219
Gorgc keeps making bad plays and feeding.
Gorgc gets mad that said bad plays don't work out, plus his teammates are fucking up those bad plays so he's shifting blame to them fucking it up, as opposed to the play being bad. Like the pos 3 not knowing how Undying shard works.
Singsing and others mention that the plays were bad in the first place so it wasn't going to work out well in general which gets him started on the melty blaming everybody and everything else except himself.

And then he keeps trying to make it seem like he's not having a melty by repeating random platitudes ("haha everybody makes mistakes, it's okay") because people are coming out of the woodwork and calling him toxic for the melty and for him blaming everything on his teammates.

So he's just being his typical self and doing damage control about how it's not his fault and everybody else's while trying to look nice and failing. This isn't new for Gorgc. Everybody watches him because he's a lolcow, not because he's a sweet little angel playing Dota and spreading positive vibes to everyone on the internet lmaoooooo.

During previous events you'd need different "tickets" for different chapters of the events.
>Tarot card theme
>Only 11 are currently available out of the total 22 Major Arcanas
I'm 99.9% sure the remaining 11 will be used for a "second half" of the event, so you will need to farm them again
However
>There are 6 "sections" in the whole event
>2 are currently available
>Next one unlocks in 6 days
>Last one unlocks in 20 days
This means the event is split in 3 parts, not 2. So assuming that my conclusion about the Tarot deck is correct it means that either
>The currently available tickets continue to be used for the next section and the remaining 11 will belong to the last section
Or
>The second half of the Tarot Deck will unlock in 6 days for the second part of the event and Valve has "something special" planned for the last section.
TL;DR Whatever happens you will most likely have to grind them again.

The next two chapters use the same tickets, it's all the same act.
The next act will have something different.
>>
>>572782785
Right now, we don't know.

In Crownfall, each Act had separate tickets so Act 1 tickets/tokens were worthless once you hit Act 2, and so on. Even scrap tokens were separated per Act. But the ticket system here is much, much simplified so it's possible it might stick to one unified ticket system but it's too early to say.

I guess if you want to wait and see, just farm up a ton of tickets, enough to finish Act 1, and then see if they're usable for Act 2 later. If they use different tickets, you just burn them on Act 1. If they use the same tickets, you can start farming real hard.

It is not. Tinker is a sitting duck while you are stuck in his "vortex" of laser->root->rearm->laser
If your team is nearby, just fucking jump him during the vortex and he will die, he doesn't have the defense matrix anymore and his displacement turrets are incredibly shitty at keeping him alive.
It should be noted that Lotus is by far the strongest item against Tinker, it reflects the root back to him and makes his cast range ridiculously small completely stopping him from hitting you unless he can dispel himself.
Linken's also works well but its easy for Tinker to work around it.
Also also forced movement is cheap but it will only save you if your team is nearby. So long as he has blink you can't escape from him alone.

coming from deadlock and not used to the isometric gameplay, which character should I start with?
Also couriers are used to deliver items right? so you dont go back to base everytime?
Does everyone have a courier or is it a team courier?

Ignore this retard >>572796325
Start with Crystal Maiden for support, Axe for Offlane, Phantom Assassin for Carry or Lina for mid.
Everyone has their own courier.
They deliver things for you so you don't need to go back to base every time.
You should worry about getting your courier killed yes.

do you get banned for taking advantage of meepo gold bugs?
just tested the tp scroll one and can get 100k gold easy in a bot lobby
also discovered new meepo rapier tech:
if you have rapiers they split the damage across meepos = shit
if you get more than one rapier and switch one of them to spell amp then it seems to add +250 damage flat to each meepo for each rapier beyond the spell one
then if you leave main meepo in base when you die youll drop all the rapiers in fountain

You get reported for cheating by people, and even if you don't, shit like that usually gets you auto-marked by the system. You might get away with it one or two times in a normal game because you didn't accumulate enough penalties. Nobody cares about bot games though.

Sing basically MADE gorgc. Gorgc had 1k followers the day he started streaming because of Sing but Gorgc has no control over his anger. Sing used to be like that as well but he mellowed out as years passed, Gorgc didnt.

Gorgc has a huge inferiority complex. He always has a chip on his shoulder about having to prove that he's better than everyone (hence the forever MMR grind) even though it's well-established that he's only good at grinding MMR and not playing at pro level, and turns into a bitchy high school girl gossiping and freaking out about his betters whenever somebody compares him to them.

This is also why he has weird patterns with his streaming schedule. Like when somebody he thinks is more popular than him starts streaming (e.g. arteezy), he will cut stream abruptly to avoid having to compete with them and risking getting humbled about how much people like the other streamer better. He has no problem being friends with players he thinks are inferior to him but once they get popular/better he starts getting snippy with them, cuts them off, talks trash about them on stream, and does his best to convince people that person is suddenly a backstabbing snake who doesn't deserve viewers or MMR. He's done this to a couple streamers he partied with for ranked grind. Once they got close to his MMR and/or the chat starts talking about how they're a great player+streamer, he does a 180 and treats them like the scum of the earth. Standard narcissism pattern, with an inferiority complex he can't control so he rages out hard in public because he can't cope.

you should never play competitive with friends
the times i've played battle cup have all been miserable because its tier 8 and i gotta play with 5-6k dudes with a chance of running into 15ks playing for fun
no one has a single role they're good at and i gotta either play mid to not lose in the first 15 min to some stomp or carry to secure victory
fuck that shit man unranked it is, always

what did gabe mean by this
>>
>>572877668
I was being sarcastic.

I don't think Singsing's arguing out of narcissism though. I think he's just an autist trying to point shit out like he would with a pro team at a post-mortem, and then getting roped into mud-slinging with Gorgc because he doesn't know how to avoid being baited into retard arguments with a narc-type who keeps changing the topic and moving the goalposts because it's not about analysis for him, it's about fee-fees. So on one side we have Gorgc sperging the fuck out because he can't admit that he fucked up, so he needs to argue that everybody else is a shitter as a distraction, and to make himself feel better. And on the other we have Singsing being a frustrated autist trying to argue/explain shit but Gorgc is screaming "WHAT ABOUT YOU??!?! YOU MADE MISTAKES TOO!! HOW DARE YOU SAY IT'S MY FAULT!!!"

Gorgc wouldn't survive in a real office job if that's his response to people trying to fix shit he broke, and pointing how he could avoid making the same mistake in the future.

this game is a social experiment with how bad this matchmaking gets

I just played a game where I went the most experimental item order on PA I've ever done so far and it went pretty well. I wasn't getting too much farm in lane and my team were retarded russians so I had to solo safelane and I carried us into victory. I went desolator as first item, skipped battlefury. mkb second item and bkb third item, after that I went satanic. It worked well, people think that mkb is a situational item but it's legitimately sort of underrated even if there's no evasion on the enemy team, the damage is solid and the extra attack range is a huge plus.
>>
>>572920826
The Veiled Oracle chose you
>>
>>572920826
Deso on a losing lane is quite normal, MKB is a trash item for PA though, it does 0 things for the hero. Unironically if you wanted more damage nulifier does the SAME SHIT
>>
>>572914026
Jesus christ and I was feeling high when I was at 12.
>>
>>572922118

>>
>>572922780
What was the evasive hero you needed to kill as a second item when butterfly is not online yet.

You dont need the range, you blink on people, you dont need the attack speed, you have an inbuilt steroid, you dont want a proc, PA kills in 2-3 hits. This item gives you nothing.
>>
>>572922961
oh i'm not the guy
i'm just saying
>>
>>572923059
If the hero is too evasive for PA its not your job to kill the hero probably, just kill everyone else, especially as second item. You can maybe get it against butter as a 4/5 item but I rather someone chain stun bloodthorn the asshole.

I could see them not wanting to make those two a persona because they'd rather have them as a separate new hero/character instead of just being AM-but-different. But then that means they take years to turn an idea into a real hero if they ever get to that point.

Ok now i've actually watched the clip and jesus fucking christ his team was literally afk
2 enemy supports are dead, the enemy mid qop just ulted a creep wave on bot lane
And yet his team isn't retaking triangle or pushing out or fucking doing anything

He WAS saved but then it didn't work because of a bug where undying can instantly enter his tombstone if he right clicks it
If the undying used her abyssal on the SF, he lives too
If puck blink silences the SF who didn't bkb, he lives
If snap wasn't fucking afk he could blink wind waker him, or blink stun or whatever
He also didn't stun the SF who was at like 500 hp letting him satanic to full

if pie lie shitter wasn't literally jungling a safe camp as the pos 5, he would could have walked triangle first

It was fucking 5v3 and his team is standing in base, NOT LISTENING TO HIS CALLS
Sing and xcalibur think you need to smoke to leave base in a fucking 5v2 situation when they have TWO SAVES

Zeus should have damage instead of his faggy jump
>>
>>572966794
that skill has no reason existing
Zeus had fuckloads of damage but his main weak point was mobility (which is why you had to buy either blink or force staff on him.)
they added mobility to a hero that was balanced around having no mobility.

Heavenly jump is a prime example of valve ruining the fucking balance just for the sake of memes. because the whole point of that "jump"existing was made from a joke that zeus looked like mario and they remodeled him to not resemble mario anymore.
ITs just a fucking travesty all around.

Can't watch in-game can't even chat in spectator mode. Valve has made so many activist decisions in the past years.

In lane? Max Shadow Realm first, your innate give you bonus regen, from normal +20% to +100%. You can also use it to harass, the damage is quite high and very spammable. I won't tell you that bonus regen will give your mana cost back, she's not Necro.

Hoodwink gets an icon that goes up 100 to tell you when her bolt is charged. Willow doesn't. She gets a sound cue. So listen carefully, there's *whoosh* sound that plays at the 3rd second, indicating the charge is maxed out.

The right-hand talents are for Core Willow. You drop Jex with Bedlam then get in enemy's face with Shadow Realm. Until you finish your Agh's, in which case, yes, Moonshard+Bloodthorn+Hurricane Pike is as devastating as it is in the hands of Enchantress.

Willow has a line for Eul's. The principle is the same as AA - apply Crown -> Eul's -> drop Brambles at their feet, the single target control is massive. If you want them to ponder the rope some more, get shard and drop Terrorize, too. They'll just go from root, too stun, to fear, to more root.

Chasm Stone items are not mandatory, but they are beneficial.

NTA but I remember getting VERY lucky in crownfall's candyworks. I got a few arcanas and some couriers that I never had. This year's candyworks feels way more weighted so you'll get shitty sets and dupes. No immortal treasures either, just solo immortals like the crown of tears.

I haven't played in years and im watching mason play zues... what the fuck happened to this game? zues has fucking leap charges like mirana? he can cast thunderbolt multiple times? good grief,wasn't the whole point of zues being that you did a lot of damage, but were squishy and had no mobility? hes playing like its a weaver, just jumping around everywhere with no care in the world
>>
There is no way.
>>
>>573008527
Nah, back in the day, my favourite build was mid Zeus going Arcanes -> Blink and then dominating the map by being a highly mobile walking nuke ruining everybody's day. Free MMR for years. But eventually the fun times ended because of balance changes, and pros stopped picking him mid too and considered him a throw pick. He got banished to pos 4 buying nothing but shit like euls aether lens instead. No blink, no mana boots. And they lost those games anyway but they kept pushing that meme because they refused to play him as core anymore because of the meta.

Valve gave him all that shit plus extra right-click physical damage so that he can be relevant through the whole game instead of just early to midgame. But even then, he's still pretty weak. He's been enjoying a positive winrate lately but the nerf hammer is coming down soon. Once the cooldown neutral is nerfed and/or rotated out, and Valve hits him with extra nerfs on top so cancer faggots can stop playing him like an afk jungler instead of an active frontline nuker, he will drop down to 40% winrate or something. Then you'll wonder if there's a point in keeping him around in the roster at all since he's so useless against people who know how to build properly.

>Mason playing pos 1 Zeus
If he went full right-click that would be pretty based of him.

Nah, it's just bad.
Valve almost single-handedly invented Reddit humor/culture with HL2 and Portal 1, by Portal 2 it was ingrained into the culture of the company. This is why there has recently been a critical re-evaluation of HL2 in hardcore retro-gaming circles, it was the start of all the bullshit with Valve.

Dota 2 was always doomed to have bad lore because "modern reddit-style valve writing" + the fact that they literally can't use any actual Dota/Warcraft/Diablo/Slayers/etc lore. Valve can pretend Pudge isn't The Butcher from Diablo and Skeleton King isn't Leoric from Diablo, but both totally are, and any lore they came up with was always going to be 10x worse than the stuff Blizzard wrote in 1997 before both companies went to shit.

Warcraft lore was perfect in every way. I'll even include the later World of Warcraft stuff up until Mist of Pandaren.

You can't really compare it to anything else. Valve did the best with what they had.

That's my opinion. Some of the stuff Dota got from WC3 is cool, especially Illidan, but the stuff based on Diablo/WC2 stuff is cooler. Techies, Ogre Magi, Windrunner, Omniknight, Troll Warlord, Gyrocopter, Abaddon all directly inspired by heroes and units from 1995. And most of those heroes have at least one response line that is a direct copy of one from WC2, especially Ogre.

Half Life 2 is such a huge anchor in vidya culture, that a 2010 game Singularity made by Raven Software included a meta joke about a Gravity Gun shaped weapon being shown as a prototype for the game's TMD, a glove-bracer device that can manipulate time AND gravity.

So what do we have in Half Life Alyx, a game from 2020? We have gravity manipulating gloves, and they're the prototype for the Gravity Gun. That's a sixteen year joke set up and pay off.

Right idea but they're still bot games. It's hard to force a bot game to go past 30 minutes even if you tried because the bots are bad at defending towers. They can group up and TP to kill heroes but they are incapable of stopping a creep wave from hitting the tower when there are enemy heroes around.
