Attack and Armor Types: DotA 2's Most Well-Hidden Mechanic
Anyone who's played DotA 2 for a while has probably noticed some strange behaviour: Catapults die very quickly to towers and rival catapults, but slowly to everything else. Ranged creeps do a lot of damage to other creeps, but not to heroes. Lone Druid's Spirit Bear destroys buildings, but struggles to kill heroes.
All these phenomena are due to DotA 2's attack and armor types, an obscure but very important mechanic, which will be discussed in this video.

LONE
lone-druid-mid-w-bulldog-creating-space
Lone Druid Mid is often played as a position 1 with a fighting carry, but in 7.23, Lone Druid is very viable as a true position 2. In this game, AdmiralBulldog does just that to enable his Drow Ranger. We will look at laning, item and skill builds, farming patterns, and more.

VALVE
valve's-janitor-cleaning-up-dota-7.24
7.24 is an update that takes away more than it adds to the game, and I, for one, think that's great. DotA 2 is already bloated with too many features, so it's good to see a patch dedicated to trimming the fat.
Update: The Iron Talon bug I discovered while making this video was fixed very quickly.
Correction: I said that Slardar's bash was buffed. That's wrong, obviously. Bash of the Deep now does less damage at early levels and is still the same at lvl 4. On the whole, Slardar is still much stronger than in 7.23.
