Before I start this off, I want to make it known I don’t much about cars.
It started when I needed to get my oil changed. The mechanic I used to go to retired and he was a great guy and always helped me with what I needed so I wasn’t sure where to go for my oil change now. I needed to go somewhere that was quick as my schedule is tight and requires my car.
I head over to Jiffy Lube to go get my oil changed there. Keep in mind my AC was working completely fine before the oil change. I give them my car, they perform the oil change and they give it back to me. I then noticed my AC wasn’t working. The car would blow air but it would never get cold, no matter how long I had it on for.
I looked up some possible solutions in the internet and it tells me I might need to put refrigerant in it. I head over to AutoZone, but the refrigerant for my car and then ask the guy who was helping me how to install it. He tells me he doesn’t know how to do it and just head over to the Pepboys right being their store and to ask for a specific mechanic.
I get to the pepboys, asked for the mechanic the guy at the AutoZone told me to ask for, and he started helping me. He tried putting the nozzle on of the refrigerant to the part where it goes and it ended up exploding on him and on the engine. He started to take a look at the car, and ended up telling me I needed to replace the entire AC system and that it could cost me around $1000.
I drive a 2006 Hyundai Sonata and work a part time job as I am still a senior in High School. I simply don’t have the money to afford a replacement and was wondering what should i do? Not having AC isn’t the end of the world but it can be bad when it’s reaching 95° Fahrenheit. Should I go to another mechanic to have a look at it? Or not even bother?

Disclaimer. I am currently master ranked offlane player who has been playing the game since launch competitively & casually, on all ranks between gold and GM. I took a bit of a break after the last guides but upon several requests to continue making these, I was inspired to continue making them again. This particular guide got extremely long due to concerning a fairly complex hero and I like being thorough with my explanations. Links to other guides can be found at the end.
​
Dehaka is one of the ‘’big three’’ bruisers of high rank bruiser play (The unholy trinity of HoggeBlaze/Dehaka) and while other bruisers do also see play, its difficult to find a game where all of these 3 do not exist in either bans or picks. Dehaka, while not any weaker than the other two and situationally stronger, he does have a bit more counterplay to it than the others.

Drafting Dehaka

Synergistic heroes
Dehaka works really well with things that can quickly kill a drag target that often rely on short range. Some examples below;

• Greymane
• Tychus
• Jaina

Additionally, heroes that have high duration powerful AoE effects that Dehaka can reposition people into with his Drag and his level 4.

• Malf
• Stukov

Heroes Dehaka can struggle into
​

• Junkrat Using steel traps in bushes near a fight makes for a miserable time to play Dehaka. You cannot really rely on Z flanks the same way you could otherwise since you might risk a 2.5 second silence + root.
• Lucio - Hard to drag with too many cleanses. The Q also interrupts drags and makes it much more hard to get to a position to drag. Lucio and Junkrat are by far the two worst partners in crime for the lizard to face.
• Brightwing - Cleanse and high range interrupt to a drag with polymorph. You usually have to bait out the poly on someone else before attempting to go for a Q.
• Ana - After 13, having a stun removal that gives 50 armor with a 2s CD is pretty nasty, and so is the ability to deny all healing from essence with a basic ability. Thankfully, Ana is fairly vulnerable to getting ran down herself by Dehaka by a good brushstalker. Just be ready to use E quickly to avoid the sleep.
• Deathwing - Not only is he immune to drags, but his massive hitbox is fairly efficient at blocking drags on everyone else either.
• Cho’gall - Dehaka doesn’t have the greatest single target damage to burn him down, and Gall can interrupt drags with his stunning orbs even as he is being dragged himself. On the flipside, Dehaka can focus more on macro and punish the inflexibility of chogall draft to deal with him.

Heroes Dehaka is good into
​
Just to be clear, there are not many heroes that like being dragged for 2.25 seconds into bad positions. There are some standouts regardless that he is extremely effective against.

• Diablo - Into Diablo he is amazing. He is the easiest target to hit with a drag in the game with his aggressive playstyle, and he is fairly easy to blow up in a drag if you have any of the heroes that Dehaka is typically great with. After level 4, Dehaka himself is practically immune to Diablo himself because of his stealth.
• Imperius - The level 4 talent destroys him in all the ways possible. No spears, no E, no nothing.
• Kerrigan - She is extremely easy to drag due to her telegraphed back to front movement, and you can use your E to protect any allies from her combos while avoiding those aimed towards you entirely.

Maps

To cut it short, what makes for a great Dehaka map:

• Lots of bushes
• Large size to utilize global
• Macro focused maps
• Camps that are easily defended with Drag
• Maps with split objectives

S tier maps

Dragon Shire
​
So Dragon Shire is great for several reasons. The nature of the split objective is one such. The bottom shrine is positioned in such a way, where the only ‘safe’ way out of the shrine is usually by walking through a bush which is also known as the lizard territory. Another is the quantity of maps on the bottom side of the map that are relatively easy to invade for your team, and with burrow you can make it an easy 5v4. It has a lot of bushes for Dehaka to easily rotate and collect essence between lanes. Its great.The only downside for Dehaka on DS is that winning the shrine on top also matters quite a bit and while he is not bad in 1v1s, there are good amount of offlaners who can destroy him in a 1v1.
​
Cursed Hollow
​
Macro focus, siege giants, a lot of the same as in Dragon Shire. The objective does not split the team the same way as it does on DS but during curses having global is extremely valuable since your team can push very hard on a lane and threaten keep, while the quick rotation speed of Dehaka on sidelines means you are not losing xp and the global means your team isn’t left alone in a 4v5 if they commit everything to defending the push.
​
Towers of Doom
Might be, in my opinion, Dehaka’s strongest map. The presence of global enables a solid amount of invasion plays on enemy sapper camps, and the split objective means that every time an altar spawns on two other sides of the map, Dehaka will be there to make the objective fight 5v4 way before the global-less enemy offlane can do anything about it.
​
Sky Temple
Really, most of the things that can be fitted into DS can also be applied onto Sky Temple aswell. It is slightly worse on Sky because Dehaka struggles a bit on capping temples alone due to low single target damage and conditional sustain but his global is even more important since all structure damage matters on the map, and pushing out a lane can be just as valuable as getting an objective.
​
Garden of TerrorMostly he is awesome here. Lots of bushes, large size, macro heavy gameplay etc. You just want to make sure you have another hero in team who is effective at taking camps because Dehaka is not one, and camps are what often decide Garden games. At least he is very good at clearing the enemy camps.

A tier maps

Infernal Shrines
The map has lots of bushes, 3 lanes to soak and moderate macro relevance. One thing that makes Dehaka still a star on the map is his ability to drag shaman camps into towers to instantly clear them. Just because I took him lower than on some others doesn’t mean he isn’t great here, the reason I didn’t put him in S was mostly because he is not the most effective in clearing the extremely impactful objective alone, nor is he very good at dealing with it if enemy gets it.
Where Dehaka really sucks is when he has to fight on an open lane with no bushes, to defend against a punisher or such.
​
Tomb of the Spider Queen
Historically this is a bit controversial take due to the map’s small size. Which is true, it is against Dehaka’s global value. it doesn’t mean though it isn’t immensely relevant on the map, since it can be used to prevent the good old boss cap strategy of taking bot camp, and moving to boss as enemy has to deal with a siege camp.
Aside from that, due to its small size however Dehaka can stack essence extremely quickly, and the quantity of bushes makes him a danger everywhere on the map even without his global.
Dehaka is a very hard to gank offlane, which means gems collected by Dehaka are far more safe than on some other popular offlaners.

B tier maps

Battlefield of Eternity
​
Not the best map for him, but playable. The objective sucks the same way as it does on IS and it is more early game heavy. The distance between lanes makes essence management much more difficult.Things he does do well on the map though is defending shaman camps, which is more valuable here than any other map in my opinion. The middle of the map is also riddled with bushes, giving him a ton of opportunities to position properly and getting good drags in. The distance between lanes does also mean the bottom part of the team can play much more aggressively for camps since the global does threaten a constant 5v4.
Alterac Pass
​
I hate playing Dehaka on Alterac, but it could be worse. Little amount of bushes makes rotating extremely hard and dragging camps to towers is often of low value. Additionally, taking camps is of a high value and Dehaka really does not do it well on Alterac. The one thing Alterac has going for him is its large size, and the few bushes it has are around objectives so he can still sidepush and join for a fight.
​
Braxis Holdout
Dehaka typically isn’t awesome due to the difficulties of gaining essence, relevance of winning point on top lane and lack of siege giant/shamans. The bonus is, if you do win the point its fairly easy to win the bottom point aswell due to using global after bullying the enemy offlaner away from point.

D tier maps

Volskaya Industries
​
No bushes, small size, mostly item based camps. Unless Dehaka is the only hero you play, I’d not recommend picking him here.

Base Kit tips

Drag [Q]

• This ability is what most often will win games. Its the longest CC on a basic ability and it has a reposition to boot. Unfortunately, it is also one of the harder parts of playing the hero. Some tips regarding its use;
• While dragging someone, you can still auto attack even if it hurts your movement slightly. In 1v1 it is pretty much always worth it though since good part of your 1v1 damage does come from AAs.
• Drag cannot be cancelled, and you cannot cast E while dragging. Hence recommended to not do reckless drags on low hp while your E is still up.

Mercs
​
As I eluded earlier, you don’t have to be the one to deal the actual damage to mercs. You can also drag them into towers and forts for a faster clear. The damage of the drag isn’t high, 160 at a base (159% of one AA), but it is big enough that if you know you are going to base to get mana or you won’t be needing it any time soon, using drag for damage on PvE does increase your clear speed. It is mana intensive, which is why I excluded its use to the two scenarios above.
​
Landing drags on heroes

• You don’t have to fish for one. If you can start a fight with a clutch drag that is great. But usually if every other hero is just posturing, that drag is going to get interrupted quickly. It can be good to wait for a bit of chaos to happen so people are less focused on the Dehaka and will have harder time dodging it.
• In general, targets that are walking towards you are the ones that are easiest to hit. If someone is dancing sideways in front of me, I dont have to use it yet.
• Holding the drag: Sometimes not pressing Q when you have it up is more potent than pressing it. It happens quite often on offlane and in teamfights that people are so focused on dodging drag that they are walking in circles in awkward positions eating tons of damage. At some point, after they have taken enough they have to walk away in a straight line - which is when they are an easy grab.
• Use your E. I’ll go over more of this in talents, but you can set up an easy drag on anyone with the use of the level 4 talent ‘’Lurker Strain’’.
• While dragging someone, you can still auto attack even if it hurts your movement slightly. In 1v1 it is pretty much always worth it though since good part of your 1v1 damage does come from AAs.

Dark Swarm
​

• Mostly used for waveclear, but it does have a few other applications. Post 13 it also becomes your damage and your slow, and you have to use E less for drag setups.
• Against certain heroes like Leoric for instance being able to pass through heir hitbox has some significant advantages. The downside is, you cannot bodyblock while using the ability.

Burrow [E]

• A good bit of this one’s utility comes from the level 4 talent.
• If playing without the level 4, this is mostly the panic button to use in order to dodge a skill shot, or to buy time for your trait to regenerate you to higher health. Your W does deal damage while you are burrowed, so you can use it while clearing waves in order to dodge spell power reductions from Blaze Qs and such.

Essence Collection [D]
​

• Easily the most overlooked and most screwed up part about playing Dehaka. Using 50 essence restores about 61% of Dehaka’s max health. Going to fight without it is like entering one with 40% hp and the healer cannot even patch it up.
• One should never look to enter a fight unless absolutely necessary without essence. If an objective is on its way, it's better to not just directly trade into the enemy offlane just so you are not forced to use your trait before a fight. If I am low on health, I rather use HS and then burrow to the objective (or waddle back to lane first to force the enemy to play aggro on the objective).
• One minion wave gives 14 essence. Even if forced to use essence, if the map is small enough there is a shot you can collect it back before it's too late. Three waves are usually sufficient, getting you to 42 essence. If you are not double soaking in the early game (often due to having a bad lane match up or having to clear camps on a big map), around 1:30 you can use your essence and then unbind the ability until the next objective.

Brushstalker [Z]

• The other easily screwed up part about the hero is the use of global. It is not often correct to use it to get to a lane in order to soak, you have your movement speed for that. When used aggressively though, you can use it to start a teamfight from a position where your drags are much harder to deal with.
• Even when not used, it provides value. As long as your Z is up, the enemy cannot reliably invade your camps (or well, it isn’t smart), you can force the enemy to play objectives more aggressively than they would want to by remaining on side soak before burrowing.
• Situationally it can be used like this if there is a large wave and you know there won’t be an objective coming in the next 70s and the camps are down (especially relevant on ToD) but generally I’d advice learning to save burrows for aggressive usage, and shifting rest of the playstyle to be more macro focused.
• Using Z does remove you from the game for 1.5 seconds allowing you to cleanse most debuffs and avoid Chromie loop if your E is off CD.
• There is an odd interaction that allows Dehaka to clear Chromie loops and avoiding Dots without committing: If you self cast Brushstalker while in a bush, or click the bush location within your own unit radius, the ability is not put on cooldown when used but it still puts you in stasis / removes harmful effects. This is a fairly niche trick but useful when it comes up. I am not sure at this point if this borders bug abuse since blizzard is fairly unclear on what are intended interactions and part of the balance, looking at you Samuro and hearthstone teleport tricks.

Talents / Builds breakdown
​
To start off, different builds have different values on different levels of play. The build I pick most of the time is immensely powerful in diamond, master and GM SL aswell as competitive. It is equally powerful in lower ones, but some other builds also become better there (Such as the W build). The % mentions are just my rough estimates on how often I pick a certain talent.
​
The builds:
​
Standard/Recommended build: 3/1/1/1/1/2/1
​
BeginneLow SL build:1/3/3/2/2/2
​
Situational Braxis/Alterac build: 2/X/X/1/3/2/1
​
Level 1
​
Enduring Swarm - 2%

• This is a good talent. It does make Dehaka a lot more durable, it gives him extra duration on W which has some synergy with Hero Stalker.
• The downside is that it cripples his rotations and lethality of his burrow flanks somewhat substantially in comparison to Enhanced Agility. As it is, Dehaka is extremely durable already and while extra sustain never hurts, there is a point where other aspects should be considered.

​
Enhance Agility - 96%

• On every map where Dehaka is great, this is awesome. It enables all the rotations between lanes for easy essence gathering, it has great synergy with the 13 talent due to increased duration. In teamfights, this is what allows Dehaka to easily get into positions where drags are easy to land.
• Completing it early is nice, but it isn’t something to be too fussed about since the baseline version of it is already great.

Tissue Regeneration - 2%

• Technically the best for pure 1v1
• I consider this a bit of a training wheels talent, since it does make gaining essence much more easier and the increased. I do pick it still on Braxis just for the increased lane sustain to cover for lack of essence from double soaking. It is not bad on BoE either but Enhanced Agility is also really good on it for the amount of bushes.
• Has synergy with Primal Rage due to increased cap on essence.

Level 4
Lurker Strain - 95%

• This might be the most powerful talent on Dehaka, bar none. Not just the level 4. To paint a comparison, imagine getting E.T.C W with a massive slow, greater knockback, higher damage and stealth from just a level 4 talent. However, it is also the hardest talent to play since it helps you in no way in essence management and it is more complex in its use than the others
• Works extremely well against heroes that are weak against displacements and is very insufferable for several tanks such as Diablo and Varian. If there is ever a moment when Diablo sees a good wall stun, Dehaka can use E preemptively and just stay hidden for your team to reposition to a better spot. If Diablo charges, his Q (or if you miss it, his E) gets interrupted and he will be slowed with no mobility in a bad spot, ready to be dragged to his death. Into Diablo it has extra value since the stealth makes it so he cannot use Q on you.
• Onto heroes like Imperius and Thrall, it's good to use whenever they press their limited time window damage abilities (E’s on both of them). The displacement tends to ruin their effective teamfight window. Even getting a spear through to anyone as Imperius gets complicated. To Yrel, you can use it to interrupt jumps easily even if she is positioning behind minions. This is also one of the few ways to somewhat reliably get drags on the more elusive divers.
• The other good thing about it is that it really makes your kill pressure less reliant on drags. If you have Enhanced Agility you can often position yourself in places easily where you can knock one target towards your team while moving everyone else away. It is extremely potent with heroes like Stukov and Malfurion with powerful consistent AoE effects you can knock them into. On BoE, immortal stuns become your best friend.
• Akin to Mighty Gust, the daze duration as the opponent has no control over their character is always the same regardless of the distance travelled. It is not terribly long duration knockback, and characters have a few frames to press a button that would move them from the drag. However, if Dehaka does push them against the wall, even the slow missile speed of drag is fast enough to confirm a drag to land on any target before they can teleport away.

Hero Stalker - 3%

• A great talent, shame about its tier. This is often what wins games in lower ranks where teamfights last for a long time and using this alongside Symbiosis can grant Dehaka several health bars in a fight. This talent makes the hero a lot easier to play.
• While it is great in lower ranks, there is a bit of an unfortunate side effects to this; Very often when I see Dehaka’s play with this talent the idea that they can get essence without soaking leads them into not soaking. You still should not arrive to fights with no essence because they can still do a blow up before you can get enough of it, and you should still make use of your global presence and soak sidelines. The talent makes some bad habits far less punished creating the illusion that the other options are worse when they are tried.
• Great into Samuro for fairly obvious reasons

​
One-Who-Collects - 2%
​

• Used to be my go-to until Lurker Strain was buffed. The effect makes gaining essence much easier and allows making trades on offlane. I do recommend this one if you are learning to play the hero and managing essence isn’t yet your strong suit. It teaches less bad habits than Hero Stalker and gives him some extra merc clear which is nice.
• On Alterac I listed this as a situational pick since you are doing a lot of offsoaking and potentially have to be the one to split to defend the camps as an objective spawns. Enhanced Agility is not recommended on the map so its much harder to get into good positions for your E knockbacks in the early game. Lurker Strain is still very good on the map.

Level 7
​
Feeding Frenzy - 98%

• Drag is insanely powerful as it is, and this makes it so it becomes even stronger and more spammable. The extra 0.5 second duration is a long time to suffer when you are being dragged into a worse position. The CD starts immediately after landing a drag so you can already prep your next drag during the old one with AAs.
• If you miss a drag, you can hit walls and minions to get it back up faster. Without this talent I’d recommend skipping trying to do fish kills with a drag entirely since missing it gets heavily punished and confines you to being a standing duck for 14 seconds. This also applies to playing several lanes, you should always look to AA whatever you can safely to reset drag CD as quickly as possible.

​
Symbiosis - 2%
​

• The core talent of the W build. It makes your W spammable which has natural synergy with all the other W talents. Downside is, it doesn’t actually reduce the W’s mana cost and spamming W can quickly drain your mana bar.
• The upside of this build is that it gives Dehaka great damage numbers in games where focus fire is less precedent, it gives him much greater sustain which also matters more in games with less focus fire and it makes him reasonably useful with little skill involved. Its great into melee comps but…in order for it to be really good you need Hero Stalker and Lurker Strain also happens to be extremely powerful into melee comps. I do recommend this for beginners and plat and below SL.
• Into Samuro it is almost a necessity in order to be able to sustain the pressure, which is where I still lock it.

Paralyzing Enzymes - 0%
​

• This is terrible. Dehaka has reasonably good shot at holding on to gambit stacks but the damage over time in team fights is rarely more useful than the extra duration & fishing potential of Feeding Frenzy and less impactful in 1v1s than the CDR.

​
Level 10
​
Isolation - 100%

• High skill high reward skill shot.
• 3s silence and slow is often as good as a kill when used in a right spot. One easy way to land one is right after landing a drag when they are close and have to run away, but into some heroes I’d recommend the opposite. Especially into brightwing. If she doesn’t die during the drag she won’t die at all due to blinking away. While the drag stun and silence will mostly overlap, the isolation’s vision removal does have a side effect of being unable to press Z or Blink Heal for 6 seconds. The 30% slow on the isolation also makes drags a lot easier to land if you do manage to secure an isolation.
• The ability does have a high delay and moderate travel speed, which is why its often great as a follow up. Alternatively if you have trust on your aim, using Z to join a fight as your team is engaging and going straight for the Rehgar from flank for instance to put him of a 6s timer of no Ancestral is fairly effective if your team lacks the tools to kill a target before an ancestral would land.

​
Adaptation - 0%
​

• Too slow of an effect just to add more sustain to already a very high sustain hero.
• Low ranks and for beginners this can be great since the focus fire will often be more forgiving, allowing this to trigger on time.

​
Level 13
Ferocious Stalker - 93%

• Massive power spike.
• This allows your W to instantly clear waves. It allows you to do big enough damage to threaten a solo kill on a flank, and it gives you access to very easy slow so you don’t have to use other tools to confirm drags. If you are clearing waves, this it is almost always worth the detour to move to a bush and trigger this. Assuming you have Enhanced Agility that is. The talent isn’t worthless and sometimes even worth picking without it, but it becomes much more consistent with it.

Primal Swarm - 4 %

• If I am playing the hero stalker build , I might consider this. But on top of Samuro, it gains a bit of extra value against heroes that naturally have armor like Deathwing. It sucks enough to play Dehaka into DW but this makes it a bit more tolerable.

Primal Rage - 3%

• Need to still win point on Braxis? This is awesome. If you are in BoE and your team decided once again to draft 0 race and you don’t have enhanced agility? Great. But it is often the option to pick when you are in a situation you should not be in to begin with.
• Has synergy with Tissue Regen due to having a higher cap on the AA damage

​
Level 16
​
Elongated Tongue - 0%

• Potentially good,
• Most of the value of this talent comes from the fact it is not meta and people misjudge the drag range. The issue is that Drag has fairly slow missile speed and usually isn’t very reliable on max range to begin with - and it is even more unreliable on a higher range. Drag is still a powerful enough ability that this talent cannot be called bad.

Pack Leader - 0%

• A fairly worthless option.
• Has synergies with the AA build but it does also have some issues. You need to use bushes to get value out of this, and if you are able to do so you often want Enhanced Agility. Meanwhile the AA build is fairly reliant on Primal Rage that kind of wants Tissue Regen instead of agility to function. The temporary AA speed increase is fairly low, and while the armor is nice we don’t need to pump the hero’s sustain upwards much more.

​
Tunneling Claws - 100%

• An insane talent. It makes Dehaka much harder to kill and near impossible to gank (especially when combined with Lurker Strain). But on top of the defensive elements, the kill potential of being always able to move to a position where the knockback effect of E is just perfect is the greatest draw. My usual sequence when killing a frontliner post 16 often is Drag -> move back -> E to their other side -> knock the kill target back to allies and push everyone else away from helping.

Level 20
​
Contagion - 99%

• If Isolation is good, up to 5 isolations is also good. Tanks get a nasty habit of trying to peel for their backliners from isolations by blocking them and this puts a stop to that. You don’t need to hit many targets for it to be great, a single isolation effectively puts 1 person out of a fight for 6 seconds. If you hit it on even 2, you are likely to win the fight if you do it early and they cannot all just back away.

Change is Survival - 0%

• If you pick Adaptation, this is reasonably good.

Essence Claws - 1%

• The effect is nice, but usually just nice isn’t enough to compete with a threat to silence an entire enemy team.
• You do have other slows as it is, and requiring the AA targets to be heroes makes it fairly inconsistent to use. I pick this mostly if we are ending the game and Isolation happens to be on cooldown.

Apex Predator - 0%
​

• Just a worse version of Epic Mount of Falstad, and even that has fallen off the meta. The reason why Epic Mount is still situationally viable at places is that the talent is on a hero that is not vulnerable when threatening a core with no bushes around, one that has solid siege damage on structures and the global can be used to go to core aswell as for moving out of there.
• Meanwhile Dehaka cannot really do the same shenanigans as Falstad to the same extent even with this talent. He can move only away from the core, and he is extremely vulnerable to getting rotated there if the enemy has any interrupts to Z.

​
Laning tips
​
Do note that these estimations expect two equally skilled players, and playing with the talents listed above. Most of them do not directly improve the 1v1, so experiences may vary.Favored match ups

• Blaze
• Malthael (post 7)
• Chen (post 7)
• Thrall*
• Illidan*
• Gazlowe*
• Imperius (Post 4)

Fairly even match ups

• Leoric*
• Artanis*
• Yrel*
• Sonya*

Unfavored match ups

• Murky*
• Rexxar
• Samuro (Can be made into even with adjustments)
• Hogger
• Deathwing (No chance)

Thrall

• Thrall does not have really high clear, and his damage window is heavily limited by his windfury. If you use E and knock him back when he does windfury, or drag him, he will often be forced to tank minions while trading negatively against you.

Imperius

• Once again, the key is the use of E. His damage window is often limited to his Q + E window. If you knock him back as soon as he uses E, he loses his sustain. After 7 it gets much easier since you don’t just have to rely on your burrow to deny it.

Illidan

• For all his mobility, Illidan is fairly easy to drag. And I am not saying to try to drag him as he is attacking and jumping about, save it for when he uses Q. The windup on the ability is long enough that you can land if by aiming it on your other side as soon as he uses it.
• If he does not use Q, you can make the drags easier to land by backing off and forcing him to run into you for an easier target.

​
—--
Leoric

• Every second drain can be canceled with E and you just need to dodge half of them to come out ahead. Leo E has 10s CD while Burrow has 17s post level 4 so the time window is also limited for Leo to land the drain.
• As I alluded to earlier, using Swarm during this timer to stack with his hitbox makes it hard for Leo to land a drain, but admittedly it is not the easiest thing to pull off as Dehaka either.

Artanis

• Artanis' shields and Dehaka's low single target damage do not go well together. In order for Dehaka to do well on the lane, they need to count the CD left on Artanis shield and aim drags to land when he cannot get a shield up.
• Artanis cannot really recover from taking big hits due to lack of self healing mechanics, so while Dehaka is outtraded in the short run over longer period he can be taken down. Just don't trade with him right after his shields reset.

Yrel

• This is a match up where both need to play smart. Yrel can deny Dehaka’s clear by timing a D + W as soon as Dehaka presses Dark Swarm, and Dehaka can deny Yrel’s clear by using E and Q to interrupt jumps and Q casts
• E does have a mini stun to it so it does interrupt all the casts. The match up really comes down to who bothers the other more on the clear. Both of the two have fairly scuffed single target damage so the wave management is usually what makes the difference in clear

Sonya

• You can technically deny all her healing and clear if you are good enough with drags.
• Her hitbox is fairly small on bruiser standards (only 0.75 - for sake of comparison, Dehaka’s is 1.0 and Leoric's is 0.81) with extra movement speed and she can do the same to your drags as you can do to Leoric by spinning on top of your hitbox. In a pinch the E also does interrupt her spin.
• If she picks Wrath you are done 1v1’ing.

—------

Murky

• I am not trolling when I say this but a good murky is the bane of Dehaka on lane. Dehaka is very prone to getting kited by slows and his low single target damage doesn’t really put a dent on Murky’s hp regen, and he clears the wave slower than a murky does.

As per usual, hopefully someone got something out of this. It has been a while since I written my last write up on bruisers. If there are any other particular bruisers people would want to see me make a write up on, do mention it. (I had to repost this due to reddit markdown acting stupid).

Hello po!! Pupunta na ako sa elbi bukas for upcat omg, first time ko po magta-travel nang malayo kaya as much as possible inaalam ko na bawat sasakyan ko para makarating at makauwi hehe
Plano sana naming sumakay ng van (uv express po ba tawag dun TT) pero hindi ko lang sigurado if saan ang babaan, at kung ano yung mga next ko pang sasakyan para makapunta sa elbi. Ganon rin po sa paguwi, 0% idea. Help me po huhu, sobrang appreciated. Thanks in advance!

My roommate is in our friend group and I introduced the both of them 2 years ago. My best friend of 10 years had a spare ticket to go to a zoo I've never been to but I didn't know about this till yesterday. Yesterday I asked my roommate if she was free and she sent me a odd text that seemed secretive and was pretty much like "no busy sorry". Then she left the apartment without a word. I had nothing to do that day so I went out myself. My best friend sent pics from the zoo and j asked her how it went. She said it was a work trip with her coworkers. I asked if she was going to meet up with me downtown that night for our usually get togethers and then she casually mentioned my roommate was with her.
I was confused and asked if she went to the zoo without me. Then my best friend made some excuses that she uninvited her boyfriend and invited my roommate last minute instead.
For one I don't understand why I wasn't invited. I had nothing to do that day and had the money to go but none of them invited me. My roommates boyfriend at home told me while it was wrong of them not tell me that they could hang out without me whenever they wanted. I never said they couldn't hang out...but the whole thing went down very weird like they were trying to keep a secret until I confronted my best friend.
I feel gaslit. Also I have been having issues with my best friend lately since her divorce. She has been ruder, stealing from small businesses, and saying things that have been getting under my skin. She also started to annoy me when she brought an uninvited guest to my wedding last year. And she didn't stick up for me when I was being bullied by a ex boyfriend but I went to court for her when her ex was stalking her...
I don't know if I'm overreacting but I feel done with her and I feel like she has stolen the spotlight with all my friends and that she is gaslighty and manipulative.

I hope there is someone here good at triangle geometry.
Normally, like in professional jigs that are used for diamonds, the middle line from knife edge to the middle of the spine is attached evenly. This kind of jaws enables it:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hYxmCwqedTo
They keep knife from both sides.
The middle of the knife is parallel to the diamond and users measure the angle of the diamond not the knife itself (because the values are equal and this way it is easier to measure).
Even here the situation is the same:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ph2dfLc79nQ
​
But I've made myself a jig for honing on stone that looks similar to this one:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ly-781pRTiY
​
The point it that only one knife side is attached to the jig and this forces an angle. The other side is kept by the washer of the fastener.
My knife primary bevel is 6 degree. If knife is attached by its bottom side to the jig like on this video one side will keep the degree of the jig but the other side of the knife will touch the stone with the degree of the jig plus 6 degree.
I want to create secondary bevel (cutting edge) that has 15 degree. How to count the proper angle the knife should touch the stone?
Should I add 3 degree plus 15 degree and sharp with 18 degree angle?
Please explain.
Perhaps someone will be eager to make a video on this issue.

At the company I work for our UX director is 26 and our lead designer is 24. Although young, they're both very talented and intelligent. I just don't know how they could possibly have enough experience at such a young age.
Also, this company is based in the US but almost exclusively hires people from 3rd world countries. To me, that's saying "I want to get away with paying people as little as possible". There is absolutely nothing wrong with hiring people in different countries, it just gives greedy vibes.
Maybe I'm looking at this all wrong. But the more exposure I get to our CEO the more "ick" I feel. He did an interview early this year bragging about how much money the company makes a month while laying off multiple people.

My wife loves dogs, however, they make me feel like constantly breaking down to the point of having panic attacks and feeling my hair fall off. I also feel constantly disgusting with them around, and it's just all around a nightmare experience for me. Not only this the inevitable vet visits, the constant apartment fees and deposits, and the struggle to find apartments that accept them also just make me spiral. On top of this we can rarely vacation or head out and do things because the dogs are constantly looming over our shoulder and add $1k+ to the price tag of every outing essentially, and then if we do this she is constantly calling or checking her phone to check up on them and never enjoys a vacation.
Getting rid of them is unfortunately not an option as she loves them too much, but I'd like to know how anyone who has been in this situation copes with this? I don't really find any joy in having any animals within my own personal space, so really enjoying them isn't an option either. I don't really know what to do, and I'm considering drugs at this point to try and calm myself down. Might not be the appropriate sub, but hoping someone who has been through this can give some advice, thanks!

Sometimes I feel very lazy to get up and switch off the light bulb. Why can't the fingers be any longer than how they are right now?

basically, i only have 7 dolls and i want to grow my collection. but i can’t legally have a job and i only get £30 a month from chores, so i don’t want to spend it all on one doll (i’m trying to get a lot of g3 dolls and they’re around £30). i did just have my birthday, that’s how i got my 7 dolls. i would like more, but i don’t have a bank card so i can’t buy cheap dolls of vinted. does anyone have any tips?

Hi guys this is my first time posting on here tbh, I am 16 years old and I really want to leave my house. Obviously, I am not old enough to leave and live on my own, as here in Dubai the legal age is 18. My parents are really strict as their upbringing was very military-like and full of rules with painful punishments (beatings), However, me on the other hand, I was born and raised in Dubai with a more liberated lifestyle so I have obviously inherited a less strict persona from people in school and outside friends, my parents really wanted me to be like them and they were always comparing me to themselves and how good they were during their youth (which is true they were very disciplined), but despite their strictness, I always felt like they treated me so badly, they are so focused on studying and they keep trying to pave my way for the future, like I get that you are so determined on me having a good future but you are doing it in the wrong way as I have no choice to decide about MY OWN life and make MY OWN decisions or mistakes, and me personally I really hate school, like more than anyone, at 16 years of age, I would rather play with toys like a 5 yr old than to study for just 20 mins, I really believe that its not because of laziness or anything because I also go to the gym and if you go to gym aswell, you would know its not so easy as it takes determination and patience, so with that said, its not because I am lazy to do work or cant be asked, its because I just don't like studying and learning things and I jus do not know if education is really my route because I have not been to college before or seen what being an engineer or a doctor is like on a more detailed scale, I know it works and provides people with jobs but its not how I want my future to be, I am more of a youtuber, actor. boxer (or muay thai) and body builder type of a guy, I really want to make videos that are funny and entertaining, I really want attention and fame, I want to become the next big thing, not through scientific research and experiments but through youtube and gym, I have (which my parents laughed at saying how sh*t of a goal it was), my parents try to give me the choice of job that I want in the future (not youtube because that is inexistent to them apparently) but everytime I have a conversation about my goals of possibly becoming an actor I never mention it because whenever they talk to me they always mention and push their ideas about becoming a doctor, engineer, lawyer, etc. And it really sucks man, like what if I want to be an actor, or an artist, or something a little more creative that fits my personality rather than jotting down equations on a piece of paper. Now the only reason why I spent most of my life in school and not spoke to my parents about pursuing a stereotyped smaller route (acting and stuff) or even quitting school overall, was because I saw how determined they were to let me live a good life which is a very good thing so I did not want to upset them.
​
When I was younger I was very obedient and therefore studied 24/7 because of my mom, she kept giving me so many assignments a day to complete when I was only like 10 years old, she treated me like a highschooler with so much stuff to do and tight deadlines, obviously I was gonna do really good at school because of it, it was just too much, at that age I did not mind at all because all I thought then was my parents are right and whatever they told me to do was right, but when I grew older I realized that I was so introverted and barely went out unless it was my closest friends birthday or something, I barely had friends at school, I do not know how to conversate with people, and because I did not go out or play a sport I was becoming extremely fat (which my parents said it was because of me being lazy) with no social experiences , I decided to ask my parents to play a sport and they managed to let me play football (soccer) 2 times a week, which really boosted my wellbeing from the intensive studying I did at home. When I reached highschool my parents flooded me with outside tutors almost to the point where everyday I had an studying session with a tutor, this completely ruined my wellbeing and mental health as I was only in year 7 (grade 6), I felt so overwhelmed which made me hate studying completely and thought it was the worst thing that has entered my life, and due to my filled schedule, when I had free time, I tried my best to play video games, I started messing around in school because I do not have time for messing around at home, I started playing video games a lot more and focusing less about the stuff my tutor taught me.
​
But whenever I look at my parents I get this reality check in my head and this voice appears and its like "GET UP DUDE, YOU WILL FAIL IN LIFE, MAKE YOUR PARENTS PROUD!", it was like my only source of motivation to study, I really want to make them happy, but guess what, when I finally try really hard on something, my parents do not appreciate it, like they smile and say well done but there was no emotion put to it, which is ok as they might be stressed (they are always stressed), so I take it, but if I make a mistake, even if it was not that much of a big deal, they would burst into flames, they shout at me, curse at me, they say that I do not have a future at all, and as much as I don't want to expose it as I never told anyone this before, they physically abuse me and they are proud of it. One time I tried telling my mom after she hit me with a long thick wooden stick that hitting will only teach me to rebel against her when I grew up and that it does not have any effect on me besides being more careful when committing the mistake, but she said that she felt good when she hit me and it made her feel more comfortable which goes to show that she is not hitting me to teach me a lesson but to only make her feel better (like I am a stress reliever that she can abuse), I spoke to different counsellors at school and they spoke to my parents about the hitting, and my parents fought off the school and informed them that they would continue hitting me as I am their child and they can do whatever I want, and my response to that is, that I never chose to be born by these parents, I never had a say in whether I wanted to be born by them , they made me by having fun under the sheets, and I never got to choose, so do they really own me or is it more like a controlled captive environment because of their wealth and authority over me. Like if I had the wealth I would've been outta here a long time ago, I would provide for my family and my lovely brother (who my parents are treating him the same way), my brother is another main reason why I am still here actually, he understands me and he is only 10 years old, he is so mature and I love him, and his existence made me realize the disgusting treatment my parents gave me when I was younger, and I do not want to leave him alone with my parents so hell end up being as introverted and depressed as me. because the environment at home with my parents is not it.
My parents argue with each other a lot, literally almost everyday, they always have an argument, mainly my mom starting the fight, she's a perfectionist who would kill over a small disagreement or mistake, she holds a huge grudge on you for things you did in the past even if it was over a decade ago, she always thinks she's right and never (like never) wrong. My dad, is a very angry and grumpy person, he does not know how to have a little fun, he gets mad really really easily, he always feels stressed because of work (which is completely understandable) he shouts and hits really hard when punishing me or my brother, he assumes a lot of things when he's in doubt even if I did not do anything. Overall, my family is a mess,
On the bright side, I started hitting the gym about 1 year and a half ago and started muay thai (martial arts) almost 3 months ago, I am in such a better shape, I have lost sm weight, built a good amount of muscle, I started talking to people a lot more, I have so many groups of friends and most importantly, my mental health is amazing.
However, I am still thinking about leaving, despite my parents letting me go to gym and stuff because I know they care for me, I jus cannot live with this bad environment at home, like my life is so good and bad at the same time that I do not know what to do, I just do not like school and I want to pursue a different path, like I am not so sure on what it is but I know that school is not for me. But my parents never gave me the choice, and this continued for a few more consecutive years until today, I am in the middle of my final exams and I still hate studying, I do not feel the priority to study at all, I have a feeling I am going to get bad grades, this test is pretty important and I am worried that my parents might physically hurt me really really hard me if I fail, or even abandon me on results day (on august 2023), I do not know what to do.
​
I have left like 3 to 4 times before only to come back to my parents again because I have run out of money and because we are family, and once my dad found me and picked me up, but every time I go back there they treat me well during the heat of the moment but go back to their old ways after some time has passed, it really annoys me because I obviously still love them but it is what it is man. Thank you for reading this, if you have any questions you may ask, and I will be sure to update yall when I can. Any advice would be appreciated.

Hi I'm 25 year's old (F) and I was diagnosed with crohn's in 2021. I have been in remission since my treatment started but I get food infections and severe bloating if I don't follow my diet properly or if I have a gap in between my meals. I am very careful about it but with work sometimes it's difficult to follow it every single day and as I'm on immunosuppressions I get stomach/food infections very easily. after soo long I went to this farm house party which is the first after I was diagnosed it was a little far from my house and I didn't drink didn't dance much as I was tired from traveling but I still fell sick I got food infection with what I ate there and my stomach hurts like crazy with bloating and now I'm back again in bed with a list of medicines. People around me always try to cheer me up with all the positivity and I'm greatful but they just can't understand what I'm going through, its been 3 days I didn't eat properly and didn't go to office. If I cry my friends and family says I'm thinking too much and I should stop thinking and focus on getting better. How could I not think when I'm in constant pain and I can't even give myself 1 day. It's so frustrating and I have these thoughts of ending it all I don't want to suffer but I lack courage to even do that. I don't know who to talk to so I'm posting here. Does anyone feels the same way?

I hate my anger. I hate that I’m angry at the world. I hate being angry at strangers because they dare to walk slowly or breathes too loud. I hate that I get angry at people I know cuz they do stupid, lazy or weak things. Honestly I used to be so tolerant and even supportive. I used to be the one people could just rant about the most tiny things they would make into such big deals. But now it just drives me nuts. How can you honestly whine for 30 minute’s because your coffee place ran out of almond milk?! How?!
A lot of this changed around the time I stopped being so easy on myself. I started taking better care of myself. Started wanting more. Started working harder. Yet I look around and see the whole world getting lazier and weaker. People whine about stuff that makes me think “dude I went through worse stuff than this as a child. I went through worst stuff than that just yesterday but you don’t hear me whining all day. We aren’t even friends! Shut up!”
I miss the old me who was understanding and caring but damn that old me was weak as hell. I don’t know if I’m actually mad at the world or if I’m just mad at myself for ever being like them.

I had a great time doing drugs in my 20s, until the night I accidentally ingested .7g of MDMA that turned about to be 2cb. What followed was the worst trip of my life that resulted in years of anxiety, DP/DR and depression that I was completely convinced would never disappear.
After that night I never felt the same, I couldn't find any answers about what was wrong with me that didn't raise even more questions about what was happening to me. I couldn't understand anything anymore, day and night made no sense, time made no sense, nothing made any sense and nothing mattered and I knew that my brain was broken forever and I'd never recover and be able to live the life I used to have.
After years of medication and therapy I'd barely improved, until I stepped back and gained a new perspective on what was wrong. I realised that everytime I went to message boards and saw the "I never got better" posts and my therapist told me things about never getting better and trying to deal with my new life made me so much worse. Once I realised that my brain was completely fine and that avoiding those bad thoughts WAS the illness, not just a sympton, did I start feeling better.
I avoided places like this sub, I stopped googling my symptoms, I stopped freaking out because for every "recovery" story there were 10 "non-recovery" stories, because i realised that once you're better you don't come back to those places because it doesn't cross your mind anymore.
DP was the worst time in my life by far, but I got better and everyone else can too. You were once fine and you can be again, avoid the people who say you can't, sometimes all you need is someone to tell you everything will be okay and I am that person.
Anyone who is going through this, I remember how much I just wanted someone to tell me things would be okay. You will be okay, you will get back to who you were, life will be good again. The existential questions and fear will go away, I promise.
If anyone is in doubt, message me. WE will get through this.

I’m black American and have been married to my Nigerian husband for seven years. We met here in the US and I was aware of his status before we married. About a year and half into the marriage I caught him ‘sexting’ an old fwb who he was with prior to me. He (not her) was urging a hookup. Of course I was devastated and he suggested counseling so we went. I’ve been on this maddening rollercoaster ever since. Always getting caught talking inappropriately with women here and abroad. It has been a lot.For my mental and physical health, I have to let my husband go, even though I still love him. Because I’ve been manipulated for so long, I’ve allowed myself to believe things he tells me because it’s just easier and keeps the peace. But, I know how ‘our wife’ is used as a term of endearment but I saw messages between my husband and an ex from Nigeria (she was married, too) and he calls her ‘my wife’ and she calls him ‘my husband’, they call each other ‘babe’ and ‘dear’ (I know dear can be used generically, but still). They said I love you to each other. Lots of other crap. He’s tried to convince me (smirking, mocking, anger) that these are normal cultural terms of endearment but I know he’s lying again. He says they’ve been friends since grade school so it’s just fun. I guess I’d just like some insight. I’m just trying to make sense of my reality. This isn’t normal, right?
