Practice Mode Guide

[ESLFavion]

so you know the kill! command isn't to just kill your hero, it kills your target if it is revealed (you are in range of it). most of the time your hero is selected by default so yes i've killed myself a lot :P

I'll test this next time I am on, not that I don't believe you, I'd just rather be able to say I have had the personal experience before I put it on there.

@elevator13 Mind telling me why? I have never really used that too much.

One of the first things I did when i tried practice mode was spawn a Kongor, take control and go attack the base with it. Surprisingly weak against creep waves and towers. Not that he will die or anything, just that it takes a long time to kill things. Just surprised me a bit as to how little damage he actually does. Then again, he has a passive ability that increases his stats permanently somehow. (servers are down so i can't check how it works) so maybe you need to lvl your spawned kongor more? IDK, either way it was fun to run around and slay stuff with him for a couple minutes.

Alright confirmed, Kill! kills whatever is selected, thanks Sketch.

Don't leave the third one alone, what if you wanted to rape an army of scouts with devourer without the deaths counting as your own? :<

[ESLFavion]

It doesn't really matter, as they don't count in your K : D.

It assigns ownership to you or not. If anything that you spawn gets a kill, you get gold. If you assign an enemy to your ownership, things can get screwed up, like getting a first blood on yourself after killing an enemy hero assigned to you, or getting denies for an enemy assigned to you killing friendly creeps.

[ESLFavion]

Ah, tested it. Thanks I will add that.

btw i'm pretty sure that refresh not only restores your heroes cooldowns but also brings whatever you have targeted to full hp/mana as well.

[ESLFavion]

Ah tested, thanks Maim, it does work for whatever is selected.

None - Select this if you want the unit you spawn to be just a normal hero / tower, not owned by you. So if this dies you will not get the death.

Just to clarify, can you control the units that are spawned under "None"?

[ESLFavion]

No, you cannot. I will add that as well.

[Kralnor]

Great guide! Thanks!

[ESLFavion]

Leh, bump.

I noticed a Hero named Nomad while poking around and he doesn't seem to be in the game as far as I know. Is this a usual occurrence or has an error been made?

Quick question: Does practice mode save PSR and other stats?
I imagine it don't, but I'd like to have this confirmed.

[ESLFavion]

It does not.

[Phrosen]

Another question: Practice Mode is hosted locally, correct?

[ESLFavion]

Yes, that is correct.
