so I'm uh building Meteor Hammer on DK (in the offlane) and ... it actually seems kinda good. The stats all compliment him really well; the str and int are both useful for him and the mana regen is really useful since he can be a bit mana constrained in the early game. The health regen compliments Dragon Blood. With the mana regen you wind up being able to use Breathe Fire pretty liberally, which helps clear waves, and being able to spam it helps make it hard for the enemy safelaner to farm. A value point in Dragon Tail means you can very early hit someone with Dragon Tail and then immediately start channeling the meme hammer; it's very easy to land the hammer this way. With Dragon Tail, you

playing dota as an adult is hard.

If you work full time and have other obligations (partner, kids, pets, homeownership, whatever), your dota situation all-too-often means that on the days you get to play a game, you get to play one game. Most likely you don't know anyone in real life that plays, because people that did play no longer play. If you're lucky enough to know people that play, the likelihood that you can play at the same time is ridiculously low. The last time I got a 5-stack going with my actual friends, we made a Doodle to find a time; we had to schedule our play time three weeks out to find a day when all five of us had two hours free. We planned three weeks in advance so

it was fun while it lasted. I was wrong in the bee days. We should have merged with the bees and stopped there. In a group of like 42 people there were a lot of little clusters.

if I could change one thing it would be to add a /roll command that works during the drafting phase, so that people could roll for a role. like I wind up playing support a lot because I feel like if I don't, nobody will, but I'd much rather just say "roll for support"; even if only one or two other people on the team rolls at the same time it helps spread that burden out. it works if multiple people want to play the same role -or- if there's a role that nobody wants to play. frog man hear my prayer.

so I played a game recently where oracle and LC laned against an Undying. Even though LC and Oracle can both dispel debuffs on allies, neither could dispel the decay debuff. Oracle also couldn't dispel the decay buf from Undying. There was a Slardar, and we could dispel Slardar's ult, but not decay. We had two strong dispels but we still got wrecked by decay. Has it always been like that? Why can't it be dispelled?

so I noticed something curious: when I did (1..5).map { 2 * $0 }, I found the error Range<$T1> does not have a member named 'map', and reasoned that it could probably be added with an extension. Lo and behold, that is true:

extension Range {
    func map<R>(fn: T -> R) -> R[] {
        var dest = R[]()
        for item in self {
            dest.append(fn(item))
        }
        return dest
    }
}

var doubled = (1..5).map { 2 * $0 }
doubled
// [2, 4, 6, 8]

neat! I'm sure there's a better way to do this that doesn't involve the excessive array copying due to append, so if you know how that would look, feel free to
