How Drow Ranger's Marksmanship Actually Works

- Hello. In this video I go over Drow Ranger's ultimate, Marksmanship. I go over things like how the damage is calculated versus different armor types, and how her Aghanim's Scepter upgrade works.
Here's a playlist of these videos where I take a deeper look into the mechanics of something that I think is widely misunderstood, confusing, or just interesting - • How Crystal Maiden's F... - Hry
I love how every video you put out significantly increases in quality
Right? Just start with the best quality? Why build it up over time? Release the best straight away and you’ll grow
Thanks a bunch! I'm trying hard to make better quality videos so comments like this are great to see. Thanks again! :]
The Google into Bing joke had me ROLLING 🤣😂
Drow Aghs USED TO waste mana on each hit of splinter attack, but it was considered a bug and patched out ~4/5 patches ago. That's why now you can attack a building with attack modifiers toggled on to get Hypothermia stacks on enemies/creeps without single mana used.
this is becoming one of my low-key favorite series of videos :) every day you learn something new about this cursed game :)
i love how quickly you come up with the videos, they are so informative!
Go for Time Dilation.
About, how it count hidden abilities of enemy's spellbar. Or how it fully ignores spells that use charges.
Like Time Dilation affect all Invoker's spell which been used but not currently in his spellbar.
Also Time Dilation count Kotl's Illuminate 2 times, cuz cast one type of this spell send the second type too since they have shared cooldown (Simple Illuminate and Illuminate with ultimate).
I hope he pin this, and I hope he also includes the time walk
Great suggestion, thanks!
Your video quality really improved a lot! And very educational too, I actually learned a lot especially with the damage formula.
Here's an additional info for 5:15:
Damage reduction and projectile redirection can affect Drow's damage efficiency. Since splinter arrows deal much lesser damage, it can be reduced to almost none when you're targetting a hero with damage reduction mechanic.
Hero examples with such mechanics are:
- Lich's Frost Armor (Buff spell)
- Mars' Bulwark (Projectile redirection mechanic)
- Bristleback's... Bristleback (Passive)
Try to minimize hitting them directly and instead shift your target to someone else. If it's unavoidable then hitting them till they die is still a valid option.
Drow's Marksmanship works super well when you're actively changing targets. Compared to 'just hit' ranged heroes like Sniper and Lina, Drow's Kit specializes in dealing maximum damage against enemies by ignoring base armor, so hit priority plays a much higher role.
You can try making a video for Mars' Bulwark. It has an interesting mechanic and you can present unique reactions against Death Ward projectiles as well as... Splinter projectile redirection(?) and various projectile based mechanics
Keep it up! Looking forward to new uploads!
I got so excited to see you posted something new. Had literally never clicked so fast. Love the content
Thanks! Very appreciated! :)
crazy how i cant watch full videos most of the time but these ones i watch all the way through.
great content.
Very interetsing again! I came back to dota after they changed Drow's ultimate and it was a bit strange at first!. Cannot wait to see more videos from you, srsly one of the best dota videos out there.
Echo Slam simplified:
- Unlike ES' other abilities, Echo Slam has no cast time, meaning that you can't press S to cancel casting it like Fissure or Enchant Totem, also Echo Slam doesn't stun units, Aftershock does that.
- There are two components to Echo Slam, the Initial and Echo damage.
- Initial damage is exactly what it says, its the damage initially dealt by Echo Slam to every unit in the 600 radius, currently at 100/140/180 damage.
- Now the way Echo Slam works is to imagine that in every unit in the 600 radius, an invisible Queen Of Pain spawns on top of them and casts her Scream of Pain ability, but it deals 70/90/110 damage per projectile to all other units in a 600 radius, except the unit itself (only the initial damage is dealt, it cannot echo on itself)
- This means that if Unit A is standing at the edge of Echo Slam's 600 radius and Unit B is standing 600 units away from unit A, Unit A will echo and take only the initial damage and send a projectile to unit B, which deals only the echo damage, since Unit B is 1200 range away from the 600 range of the Initial damage.
- The above example means that Echo Slam can launch projectiles to units up to 1200 units away.
- Echo Slam projectiles cannot be disjointed, but it will not damage Spell Immune or Invulnerable units.
- However, the Initial Damage fully pierces Spell Immunity, and it will still launch Echo projectiles to all units within 600 range, regardless if it's spell immune or not.
- Echo Slam damages units that are Invisible or under Fog of War.
I forgot to mention Echo slam deals damage to couriers too
Does echoing a spell immune target still increases your damage of echo?
@@user-ep6ed8hr4v Yes, spell immune enemy units will still launch echo projectiles to nearby enemy units
This is basically how the spell is coded in DotA 1. In spawns an invisible dummy unit on top of each target that casts Fan of Knives.
i've played
dota for 7 years and you said informations i never knew ,which will help now on. great job ,keep on
Well, thanks now I want every single hero in dota explained like that! Dude, you rock! I love your content!
Damn! You are getting good every video you post. Keep it up man.
you've done it again! I even noticed some mic clarity changes which is good.
Thanks! Trying hard to make the quality better so glad you noticed :)
Seriously underrated channel. you will blow up if you keep uploads and hit a nasty 10k sub powerspike
Thanks, very appreciated :3
Good quality again !
Now can you tackle about the atack classes ( default ,runty, piercing and reinforced) to help the laning phase
You are honestly criminally underrated!
Another day of another high quality vid 👌, Day 1 of asking you sir to make a vid about Holey locket
oh mane from hundreds of subs to 2.6k now, keep going my dude!
Quality of vids keep going up! I heard Gaben's voice that just made my day.
Thank you. GabeN Clap
Very informative. Thanks!
Thank you as well!
i don't even play dota anymore. i just fill my curiosity of dota knowledge by watching your vids. keep up the good work.
Thank you so much!
You could make something about sand king's passive because a lot people are clueless, pretty underated hero ngl
Great channel.
We will watch your career with great interest.
I love your videos man. Thanks for these information.
Please make bounty hunter's gold stealing shenanigans.
Thank you.
Very informative video!
Thanks a bunch!
i like this kind of videos and how you explain this things
Thanks! :>
hey man love the content just newly subscribed.. keep the good work 🙂
Thanks for the support! :)
This is a high quality video, Keep it up.
Thanks! :]
great video as always
the part where if u activate frost arrow after attacking and the attack bounces to another target frost arrow get applied also works for battle fury with troll, if u attack (ranged) with troll and switch to melee before the attack lands battle fury cleave will be applied
This video helps me a lot wow thank you so much bro
Good in depth video.
Thank you!
Search engine shenanigans, love it!
You could have also covered the marksmanship buff received by allied units
This video is so cool man! I curious about the gold from killing hero as it is very mechanical thing. would be very appreciate if you provide about that information.
That's a really good idea. thank you! Making a note of this.
That last one is definitely getting patched soon ;D
I think an interesting ability to cover would ice blast, with how interacts with stat changes, the "shattering" and how it interacts with status
Effects
Come to think of it back then i tested veno's poisons against status resistance, the conclusion was so confusing that i didn't really get how Damage over Time interacts with status res
Came here specifically to request ice blast, as well!
It's not getting patched since it used to use mana for casting frost arrows on split hits and it was so mana demanding that aghs felt like a mana burn, so they removed the mana cost for those
It's even stated as an intended buff rather than the bug fix
However they may change the way whether or not frost arrows will be cast by binding split arrow type to the original projectile, not to the ability autocast
Awesome content, insta subbed. Thank you!
Thank you!
Owh yeaaah, I think you should make a video on Echo Slam. It looks simple on paper, and somewhat understood, but people seem to miss the fact that most of the damage comes from the Echo generated from units, while the Slam itself does very little damage.
how exactly people are missing out??? more units = more damage, more heroes = even more damage, its super clear to everybody, whats your point??
Again really great video
Liked and subscribed, your content is awesome.
Thank you!
the last interaction of frost arrows being autocasted after the attack is kinda the same as troll warlords Q toggle. Whenever you try to attack as a range unit and then toggle Q right after to become a melee the root effect can proc.
Ahh, interesting. Thanks for pointing this out.
That beginning bit with the search and the official Dota 2 page was nice. I don't get why the official page has such problems.
i enjoy the video, and the comment section too.. so interesting to learn this old game again lol
Cool video, appreciate your work
Could you clarify how drow's armor pierce works with decreasing enemies' armor? Will decreasing affect base or bonus armor?
He mentioned it in the video, it ignores all base armor
Hey I get an argument about damage proc from marksmanship so if the green armor block all the base damage it should still have damage from proc marksmanship 80 damage right?
How does Spectre free pathing work after dagger? It does not seem consistent sometimes
I'd like to know how wrath of nature works, for example if you cast it, does it snapshot all units in vision and hit them even if they leave vision, or is it dynamic and hitting everything that comes into vision, until there are no targets left?
Thanks for the suggestion! Video on this coming soon 👀
Pls do a video on Chances and procs. I think there is something Level related - like 20 level hero always instabashes level 10 hero? It is not stated in dota wiki but it is something i notice when playing
Hmmm so if the bonus DMG is added after the crit calculation, how does it come that in the video, when you attack Sven you do 364 everytime but when a marksman arrow goes, you do 451 ? Seems to me that the bonus DMG is added before crit calculation
Love your videos btw, best concept on dota 2 right now, love how deep you go in the subjects
can you explain, how creep and tower aggro really works? thankyou
Magnificent video
Can you do a video on how Dazzles ultimate works? Is i remember correctly, the description says cooldown reduction of 50% but actually it reduces by a couple of seconds only. Also didn't reduce ally cooldowns by 50%
Can you do a video on Earthshaker’s ultimate? I swear sometimes it does like double the damage it should.
If you dont mind putting your thoughts on marci rebound mechanics thanks.
So if you just do 1 frost attack with frost arrows not on autocast, it doesn't apply it to the splinters?
Did you use elevenlabs for CM and Gaben narrations? Very cool!
I did! Very fun tool.
The splinter actualy used mana for frost arrows previously but they change it in a patch.
Could you do a video about Necrophos' ulti next?
Nice! Next do Death Prophet ult!
Could you cover all the randomness in the game? Like what is the actual probability of hitting miss to HG, are each RNG has a pseudo-random distribution?
Question. Did Markmanship use to proc Crit and it doesn't now?
so if the target has 100-16 armor draw ult will do -16armor damage?
interesante tus videos, muchas gracias. Podrias hacer un video de como funciona el daño que causa nyx aseesin cuando quema maná?
Si no me equivoco el daño de w de nix assasin se basa en un daño base multiplicado por x veces la cantidad de inteligencia del enemigo, si no me equivoco el daño es igual al maná quemado, pero no estoy seguro cómo funciona la reducción de daño y el maná quemado, aunque apostaría por que es algo como maná quemado - reducción de daño
Do about Silencer's combo, cause when my teammates used it they didn't deal that much but when enemy using it, the deal a lot of damage
Hi, I got a question, every character agh upgrade has positive benefits for them, but why clockwerks overclocking gets self stunned after using it? Seems like the only character which gets punished for using the upgrade
Not exactly sure 🤔 Maybe that would be a good thing to go over. At least it's not all punishments though, it still gives some positives.
Can you make a video on kunkkas tidebringer with multiple crit items such as silver edge
Forgot to mentioned that marksman will be disabled if there's enemy within 400 range. Including its bonus agi.
that Lina looks fire
I just found out that multishot from Drow doesn't scale with your attack dmg from items but it does from your agi from items. I got rapiers in demo to try out killstreak effects and it did no extra dmg. But 6 butterfly gave me extra dmg. There is no mention of this in the ability so if you want to make a vid about it that'd be cool
I would suggest Dark Willow's Bedlam, pretty confusing spell
5:05 Marksmanship triggered about as often as if I was playing that drow there
make one on how stat sharing works, such as morph ult scepter, meepo, and druid
You deserve 1m subscribers
:o thanks!
Can anyone explain me the damage calculation of drow buying desolator ?
Great video. I subscribed. Please do one about my favorite hero io
I definitely plan on doing one on Io since that's my favorite hero as well!
Do about Spirit Breaker's shard, cause I feel like there's still a lot of people who doesn't know what it does.
Just found out your video, good content and keep up, can I request Slight fist from ember? Thanks
Thank you! Good suggestion. I'll plan on making a video to cover that. Seems like a good one.
please do a video on silencer W and E spells
How does nature wraith work?
Awsome!
Immediately left a like after the search engines joke. Really funny
That...mmm that is a lot to keep in check for Dota X,D
In conclusion, get armor bonus against Drow LOL But good video!!! really like it!
Would love to see one of these on earth spirits magnetize
We need a video about how actually Nullyfier works
echoslam or magnetize next please, thanks :)
Coming soon!
How about necrophos ulti?
analysis on does taunting enemies in all chat make them likely to be more aggressive and make mistakes?
and if so what ROLES have more ego and more prone to taunting within thousands of games?
Can you cover all of shadow demon's spells since most are confusing to understand
Noted 📝
I really like this version of drow ultimate... sometimes you dont need damage items just items that will enable you to survive tough fights and attack lots hoping for procs
For herald player Deso and Daeda
@@RegMeow daeda is still good 2 things to hope for crit procs and ulti procs deso only base race situations
Modern Drow build need movements and escape like dagger or invis. You just need 2 damage items for drow.
could you please do rupture or ice blast
make a video on adaptive strike
@zzADRiANzz Wait buddy!You forgot to explain us the principal hidden thing!
How much is the damage reduction from aghanim split shot!?
(Your videos are 👍)
does frost arrow slow down drow attack speed?
Nope, it does slow movement speed though.
Does it still same ?
I prefer the old edit where every edit you put in actually help explain what you need to know easier/ better. the unnecessary edit at the beginning like this one kinda off putting to me. But hey it's your video, what you do is what you do. As long as I learn something new I appreciated for your time putting into it.
You didn’t say about the attack modifiers applied to splinter attack. Also, nothing about true strike when marksmanship proc, it’s useful against pa and others. Heralds video
How Zeus E work next pls, sometimes you try to jump foward, but it doesn't work
How about Bane's Nightmare?
