A KS is a KS under these conditions:
1) KS-er fires one shot only and takes the kill (Irregardless of whether he's around or not... Heck if he's around and not doing shit until the enemy is near-death, then definitely a KS-er in waiting)
2) KS-er does final hit when someone is doing a spell that will surely kill target hero, but is takes time.

I'm a Nortrom player, so I rarely give a crap whenever someone does KS me ... Though there are those few occasions where I work my ass off to fry someone's ass with infernals and then some jack idiot int hero comes in and blasts him when the buggers got sub-100 HP... That's just low man... stealing from a healer.

Hehe, yeah... Problem is, most arsehole teammates expect you to heal them but don't give a crap when you get hit... Bloody selfish bastards...

Anyway, from the changelist for 6.13, apparently they're revamping Nortrom and they're bringing back Chen!!! (Possibly the most sesat hero in DotA as his skillset is extremely weird)

IIRC, when v6 first started, Guinsoo had already expressed his desire to stop making dota... But it was only about 3-4 versions later did he finally step back.

As for the Win95 vs WinXP issue, count the number of times you've recieve the blue screen of death in both these version and then tell me which is the more stable one... Besides, how many of you had teh internets when you first had win95 to be able to tell that its vulnerable to attack?

Do note that he's doing it in a controlled environment (no enemies etc.), so recording the health of creeps is pretty easy (Just target the one creep that no one else is attacking)

Though I agree that a sample of 50 is rather small, justifying it by saying that "100% is full, and one creep represent 2% of the data" doesn't make any sense. Sample size is determined based on the total number of average kills per game, which meant that restarting each game isn't necessarily scientific, but doesn't affect the sample size. In the real world, sample sizes are often between 0.01 (TV ratings) - 25 (Small experiments) % of the data. So, the reasoning behind the sample size is based on the average number of creep kills a player makes in the first 5 minutes, which would actually make the sample size too big. But, we assume its the overall picture, so the average creeps kills a player makes is around 100-200, so 50 is a pretty decent number.


Anyway, there are a dota fanatics out there who are indeed willing to carry out crazy experiments like this.

BTW, yukito, you didn't post the tables and graphs for your experminent

I believe that by default, creeps do not discriminate against targets except when an enemy targets an allied hero. Only towers will target creeps with the lowest health, normal creeps do no such thing, otherwise those ppl who go for the necro/druid will often aggro the rest of the creeps the moment they attack, which doesn't happen. It is possible for a hero to land ALL the hits on a single creep and kill it in a single wave. Worst comes to worst, just engage the creep wave minus your own creeps (Or use the extra heroes as 'targets')

In a normal encounter between friendly creeps and enemy creeps, they often focus their attack on the first creep they encounter, regardless of how much HP they have. Besides, creeps and level 1 heroes attack ridiculously slooooow, so recording these values is not as far fetched as it sounds... Heck, they could be really anal and use FRAPS to record the game.

So, to counter our "shit" you provide even less useful information. I mean, aside from your b****ing, you haven't contributed (Positive or negative) anything at all.
