1. When Runes Spawn
Runes spawn every 2 minutes (starting from minute # 2), replacing those that have already been taken.
This means that a rune spawns every even minute, starting from minute number 2. If a rune has not been taken, a new rune won't spawn.
According to my observations, the type of rune that spawns is COMPLETELY random and the area at which a rune spawns is also COMPLETELY random. You cannot predict whether it...>

There are many ways to use Warlock, but I would no longer touch the most common builds, e.g. "support-pusher" which gets Refresher Orb asap, or other Int-oriented items. Rather, I would discuss the various early game strategies for him, and their late-game equivalents.
1. Shadow Word and Upheaval
Shadow Word is the "no-brainer" spell of Warlock. A heal and nuke rolled into one. This is very helpful in controlling a lane....>

1. Astral Imprisonment
In my opinion, all OD users should max this skill first. I'm very surprised to see some players not getting this until mid-game. These players max Arcane Orb and Essence Aura first. I'm very sure this is a wrong way to use OD.
First of all, Arcane Orb is a percentage skill which means it is more effective later in the game. At low hero levels, it's pathetic.
Now, let's focus on Astral Imprisonment. What kind...>

Vol'jin has always been an underrated hero. Although it's already clear to many how strong his skills can get, very few still use him because of the relatively high skill level needed to effectively use this hero.
1. Maledict
This is Vol'jin's signature and most useful spell when it comes to team battles. We all know how short its casting range is, and it's small AoE, making it a very hard spell to aim. Usually, opponents would be able to...>

Also one of the more commonly-used heroes, many are already adept with the Spectre's skills, and how to utilize them properly. An example of which is Crossing Terrain using Spectral Dagger, which causes Mercurial to have zero collision. Another tactic already known to many is Escaping using Haunt. When faced with many enemies, she can cast Haunt then Reality to another enemy across the map to escape her ambushers. What I will point out in this guide...>

This hero has become a very popular character and many players have already mastered how to use Elune's Arrow and combo it with Leap and Starfall. So I will not go into detail with Mirana.
Leap
The common mistake of some players is either to Leap too soon, or too Leap too late when Mirana is fleeing. Here's a quick tip. When facing enemies who have stuns, disables or has a Blink (including Dagger), try to Leap after you've seen them cast...>
