now both parts are in the Library, yeah!

I should probably work some more on mine, change to gifs, add vids etc. This is just like maintaining a guide except it doesn't get as many views.

Might I direct you to folechno's Guide to Making Guides?

If you still have questions, I'll be more than happy to answer them.

ahhh well you know amazing little tricks and things, for instance heroes like pudge can't fit through certain gaps as they have a larger collision size.
these gaps go nowhere but pudge can't reach you...
but then pudge hooks, so run back in.

also sandstorm can block paths.

other misc finds would be some mathscraft (if you so feel the need) i still remember that my final bane build does roughly 3.9k damage if you find a single hero alone in the forest ^_^

ack, didn't know that about pudge. i don't use him much anyway. miscellaneous finds are cool. more like flavorings or toppings to your guide.
