Ok surely everyone knows this sad little hero in DOTA, using stealth or wind walk - this little freak can pop up almost anywhere and kill almost anyone. If the Bone Clinkz hero gets into trouble he simply wind walks. Suck central? You bet.
Now, if you buy a gem or gem of true sight as they are called, you may detect this little pain in da rear hero - but his movement speed is quite huge and the little freak will use his own gem or wards to kill off your stealth detection modes.
While he is a 'cheap' hero, and one that makes his opposition nerd players want to commit suicide afterwards - he does require a good amount of skill to master. World professional DOTA players such as Heffa and Tubby (real names Alex Heffernan and Daniel Telford) give the following tips for when playing Bone Clinkz. Movement speed, and damage. If you have both of these you can win most fights and escape some you are losing.
When teams try to gank or hunt you in packs, then remember the DOTA tip: use the speed Luke! I am your father. No No, seriously - get your little scrawy butt outta there and sprint into the forest around where the neutral creeps (scourage or sentinel are)
Good Luck with Bone Clinkz and thanks for joining us at DOTA tips.

Dota Tip: Bone Clinkz Rigged
DOTA map hackers, hacks and cheats
One of the sad things about DOTA, and hopefully the guys at Blizzard and people behind battlenet are doing everything to prevent DOTA hacking and map hacks, cheats etc.
In DOTA games there are regularly comments from players / hero's stating that someone has map hacks which allow people to see where they are on the map or things like that. It would be very frustrating to be ganked or killed off as your hero is watched by map hackers everywhere.
I am sure there are people using these map hacks, and the cheating is surely rife on the Australian 'Bored Aussie' version of DOTA where the creators hacked battlenet and created a local illegal copy of the famous game.
If you find someone cheating or map hacking in DOTA, be sure and drop some details to the guys at blizzard. Email: administrator@blizzard.com
Sadly hacks and cheats extend to all games these days and even World of Warcraft aint safe. Nerdy and life forgiving GM's or game managers spend their nerdy existence governing the games and keeping them free of cheats. These are the kind of people that wanted to be a cop, a school teacher and stuff, or failed to make middle management at work - so they use their powers and love of nerdy stuff to become GM's and apply their rules to a simple computer game. Giving them love and joy, and allowing the game to be free of cheaters to some extent.

DOTA Tips Welcome!
Hey all, this website is dedicated to the classic Warcraft 3 (Frozen Throne) mod game - DOTA (Defence of the Ancients)
DOTA is a brilliantly crafted game with a massive choice of heros involved. Making the game very different each time.
Varied heros (100's of them) are slotted into 2 sides, Scourge and Sentinel - and have 3 different classes: Intelligence heros, Agility hero's and Strength heros.
Characters such as: Sand King, Centaur Warchief, Lich, Bone Clinkz - fight, rape and pillage other characters. It's 5 on 5 action and is brutal, going for around 1 hour each game.
Players log on to BattleNet from Blizzard to find other combatants and get their freak on.
We'll review many characters from now on, telling you the best builds and spec for most. We'll also get write ups from super dooper uber leet mofos.
