Empty Bottle

A bottle for the smart heroes. Stack it up for heal and mana!

Has anyone ever actually captured a rune and used it later succesfully? I dont think that function of the bottle is put to use properly... maybe if Icefrog increased the amount of time you could capture a rune for people would use it for that too...

capturing runes is very helpful ... especially double damage or invi, cuz you can surprise your opponent with that stuff.

I use the empty bottle, by putting first water, then y play in the center. When i ran out of water, i get a rune, i use the rune (for good purposes) and the water is filled in the middle of the battle.

im new to this... how do i use this empty bottle? could any1 help me

waste of money for me.. 700? why not make your hero stronger instead? if you play w/ no power ups, you can't capture any runes..hehe tango's are cheap & usefull.. if they will lessen the cost of this item, i still have to think about buying it..hehe well, that's my opinion..

Great mid game item. especially for wind walkers. * hits him, he tanks and hit you, you lose, win walk go behind him, flask and pop it behind him * quite cheap. especially for bounty hunter. ; ) are_you_ready. you can easily refill the flask by clicking on the flask and then the fountain. =)

its unlimited uses, so i like it, but bit pricey

But also remember, if you r using the bounty h. with wind walk, and also you are playing in the middle and also you have and empty bottle, you can filled it with a rune and the rune also filled the water

this item is really good for heroes like tide hunter. They can abuse theyre nukes like crazy. And it heals 100 mana now (I'm Pretty sure.) Im fond of it from around lvl. 6-10, when you start going for first kills. I always end up behind enemy lines in the red zone and this beastie always keeps me alive. Also, the regen is over three seconds, which is incredibly helpful.You could literally run into battle, go all out, jump back, pop this, and jump right back in. Plus nothings funnier than popping a stored DD when someone thinks they have the upper hand.

PERFECT for farming,send chicken refill come back to hero,hero heals chicken refills etc that way you can STAY in the fight for like forever even...

I love this item and i'm always go on a Rune hunt when it's empty. LOVE to find regen, it's the best but haste and invis are also nice. If u store invs and use and then click the Bottle again quikly u get healed without breaking invs.

Btw using the flask otherwise breaks invs. So windwalk and use means your visable again.

waste of money?? not really.. its useful on pudge and mirana...

great item for pudge gives a couple of chances to hit with his hook if u miss the first couple of chances

most people i know underestimate this item... having 3 charges of healing is always a good thing and the ability to capture rune is more than a plus...

Can sum1 pls write in detail how empty bottle workks>?

yes please how it's works????
confuse.....

left click it to the fountain then you have three charges of "healing water" like a "flask of saphire water" DID YOU GET IT?

Basically it´s a potion which can be used 3 times. You fill it in the fountain, and it also gets filled after capturing and using a rune. Each time you use it, it heals 200hp and 100mp in 3 seconds. So, in total, you get 600hp and 300mp in 9 seconds, which is sweet. It can also be used to capture a rune (left click on bottle, then left click on rune) and use it when you most need it (chasing and enemy with haste, turning invisible when escaping, etc.). There´s a time limit of 2 minutes to use the rune, after which it is automatically used (and the bottle gets a refill). Very nice item, I love to use it with mana-dependant tanks like Abaddon or Lucifer.

thx malamig69 and KingArthas
I'll try........

i personally dont use this item unless its mid game and i hav a low hp/mana hero

where you can get the runes

im sorry.. but what is a rune?

im sorry.. but what is a rune?

after you used the three charges, do you lose the bottle? or can you go and fill it up again? i never bought this before

runes are the thing you pick up in the river

double damage, haste, regeneration and invisibility

runes hav temporary effects though, not permanent. the only time a rune came in helpful for me once is when i picked up invisibility while runnin away from enemies.

can anyone define what is rune?

Dictionary Definition: A poem or incantation of mysterious significance, especially a magic charm.

http://www.thefreedictionary.com/rune

ugh.

Runes - at two points in the river running perpendicular to the lanes one can find 'Runes.' These runes spawn at fairly random intervals, and come in ffive types, namely double damage (dd), haste, regeneration (regen),illusion, and invisibility (invisi). When picked up, each rune gives you a certain ability - double damage doubles your damage (surprise!), haste makes your hero extremely fast moving (again!), regeneration causes any missing health or mana to come back at a unaturally fast speed, illusion creates a short-lived copy of your hero, and invsisibility makes you invisible until you execute an attack or spell.None of the rune effects are permanent.

pudge could use this. After all, he hooks and rots a lot, so it heals both hp + mp.

in my area, no one uses bottle since we only play -np so no one can bottle abuse with runes

most useless item for me. our gang never uses this.

I like the bottle on nightstalker. As soon as it is night out you are more than likely hunting heroes, so while hunting (jumpin lane to lane) you'll undoubtedly run into a rune which refills your bottle. This is incredibly IMBA on arem/apem because you are level 7sh on first night, and can get a bottle at level 1... You'll be up all night, no fountain trips.

If you are going for this kinda playstyle, maybe invest in some observer wards too, and place 1 by one of the rune spawn locations. NOTE: don't place one by each of the rune spawns, because by process of elimination you can tell "if its not at one, its at the other". Capturing a regen is best case scenario, then DD, haste, and finally invis. I myself don't bother with observer wards, because If i have a bottle I whore the runes up (i'll be at the rune spawn 4-5 seconds before it spawns) if im NS. If i'm not a big ganking hero like NS though i definately get the observer wards, they double up as a gank-detector for your allies as well.

man im confused...im noob........but can u refill this bottle.if u can how do u do it

Right click bottle, Left click fountain/rune.

Sounds like a good item! Thanks guys. Will be using this strategy more often ;)

Only use this item for LOW HP, HIGH DMG NUKE heroes that WILL GET KILLS. Otherwise its a WASTE, just get some clarity if you want to nuke with a STR. I always get first blood with a bottle QoP. Run back like your running at low hp, spam bottle twice, blink back in front od them and nuke for the kill, all kinds of shit you can do.

Inutil ang empty bottle

Ginago na!

Bottle has been slightly nerfed. Upon using a filled rune, it now returns a 2/3 filled bottle. Not that it makes such a big difference anyway.

good item for windwalkers
rikimaru and gondar especially.

get this for syllabear
so you will never return to base.
when u want to buy something send ur bear to base to refill the bottle.
if u need just to refill it then send bear to scout for runes

left clicking an empty bottle lets u fill it. if u right click it, it picks it up, as with any other item. Lupeman, wrong again. lol
bottle is nice on magnus. 300 damage wave :D

Chickens cannot drink nor refill bottles due to not having 5 mana. for 200 gold you can convert your chicken into a flying courier with 150 mana

que mierda

im left handed, i set my mouse on reverse. so technically, i m still right

is it necessary for bone fletcher?

is it necessary for bone fletcher?

too expensive for clinkz, he can suffice with a RoR/tangos. Money is better spent on dmg so he can kill, not regen.

This is my favourite item.About cost...:
Its better to pay 700 for bottle you can use in whole game, then to buy trees and that things... i think this is the best thing for any hero, especialy inteli heroes.

I'm new to Dota and i dont what does this item do or what does rune mean!!!!

I'm surprised that nobody has said how great the bottle is for the Medusa. With her mana shield maxed, 3 uses of the bottle essentially gives her 1200 hp in 9 seconds.

Each use takes 3 seconds, gives 200 hp, and 100 mana. For the gorgon's mana shield, 100 mana = 200 hp. You do the math. I've played this a few times and it's awesome. I almost never had to go back to base (cuz I had a chicken) and could use runes to refill the bottle.

It's also handy to take Roshan down early. Go in, pound on him. Back of and heal for 9 seconds. Go finish off the rocky beast. It's also nice when there is a rune near Roshan. You could potentially heal twice within the battle and maybe solo Roshan this way.

My final comment: if you feel that you have grown out of your bottle, you can sell it for 350. That means that you only spent 350 on all that healing up to the point you sold it. I guarantee that those guys who buy trees for healing spend more than that. Tangos take longer and don't restore mana.

this item really is mainly for heroes who hav nuking skills, but hav low HP. like zeus, other than that, i would stick with 2 tangoes and 2 RoR.

i had no idea that you could fill the bottle up in the fountain until the other day... much more useful than waiting for a rune

chicken cant refill the bottle. CMIIW

and after you capture runes, does the bottle heal you when you left click it or give you the effect of the runes only?

I dont buy this empty bottle because we played arnp without power ups what the used of it... no runes

@hafez018 : then why bother to comment?? geez do you have to comment every item you dont buy in each game you play?

Also, you asked what the use without runes? Read the d*mn description again, to heal HP and MANA! man...

Now i get this item...

Why do you play with runes in the game?
(In my opinion)
it imbalances the games like 2x damage, haste etc. we always use -np for a lasting game.

Why do you not play with runes? If runes were so imba why is it I always hear only Filipinos complaining about it? Not all Filipinos, but those who have said runes are imba are only Filipinos. Everyone else do not play -np and everyone else knows how powerful bottle is. Except THOSE Filipinos who say it is TOO powerful.

Go to GG Client and play in 1.21 rooms, eg Malaysia. Nobody plays -np there. Or US rooms. For goodness' sake, don't play -np anymore or else Malaysia WILL overtake the Phillippines as the top DoTA gaming country! They are edging dangerously close already.

Can someone just explain how to use this thing....???

i like using this for vs so i can spam his magic missile!! lol first blood!! and i can lend it to my allies with low hp just make sure he'll return it hahahah

the runes arent too imba. only DD, regen, invis, haste. all which can be countered
DD - flee from battle (if he comes from behind; blink, invis, stunlock, deny urself against tower/neutral creeps)
regen - ranged hero just needs to hit him once
invis - they pretty much use this to come from behind, so get wards ready
haste - blink, invis, stunlock, deny urself

must have

bottel > tangos
this is like 3 tangos but much better. more hp, mana, faster and best of all refillable!!! eraly game all 3 charges will totally refill your hp/mana.

cons
bit pricey but u can get this even in a 5v5 apem game. just have 2 wait until your money gets there from the 8gp/8s

How do you refill it btw?

how do u fill this bottle in the first place?
concept seems pretty cool though

Must for pudge and pplz who need mana/hp quickly and dont wanna get arcane/saphpots

love this item

i ...dont get vwhat it does.... me r confused

This item is not a waste of money why waste money on tangos. Yes they are cheap but for a couple of uses and but this baby is unlimited can last up to midgame. And you can stay on the lane more so you can farm more farm=$$$ and chances are great to kill more and leveling up when staying in the battle field it is a team play so the many heroes pushing on the lanes the better chances of winning. Although it is not a must item it is a good one to consider I use it with Puck and Ursa.

Alot of u r complete noobs,(not all but alot). First of all stop asking wat it does and wat runes are and how it works when these things r already talked about in the forum above,seriously!
Now this is an extremeley good item up to at least mid game where then it may take up spaces.
It gives you 600 Hp and 300 MP in 9 secs which is extremeley useful,it means you can stay in lane and push 4 longer gaining more xp and more gold.You'll easily make ur money back in no time, not to mention xp and push,+ u can sell it back 4 like 350 which means u save in comparrison to tangos etc.this is definately an awsesome item.try it out and see

post number 73. amen to that..

bottle is useful for people like to hero kill always... specialy greedy ones... hehehehe that my opinion cause im a greedy player...

Me to man i play with Axe and i always
have it

helps for ur early mid game

love this item. it's best suited for INT heroes because it's still pretty useful late game for them. but overall will save you trips to the fountain early game and hopefully make your some extra money. Trust me, the 700 is nothing considering you can make that easy with good farming.

one of the more underrated items i think

stfu caspian

really goes wtih phantom lancer in early and mid game

This should be bought in Late Game

What do you mean by rune????
can som1 help

how do u fill da bottle

Omg the bottle fills itself when ur at ur fountain as long as its empty
@ pyro

Runes are the things in the river
haste regen double damage invis ECT...
@ bigjoe

rofl
so it heals for 135 hp and 7 mana over 3 secs??
LOL

That needs to be fixed

70 mana

actually, i dunno how much it heals, i never bought this item.

Yeah I think they nerfed this item...Still its great on only middle games with fast heroes because at lvl 4-5 you can easily go top and bot river where runes are and capture themm..Use the rune effect(double damage,illusion,invisibility,haste) at your discretion and then heal with the recharged charges bcz poeple always choose nukers on apom games...It keeps you on the battlefield for the experience and gold...Im not commenting on hero killing with this bcz u guys already did

Ok the current price(6.51b) for the bottle is 600 so you can buy it as your first item now in 5 vs 5 games...its good for ensuring you have money even early on..

ok you guys can call me noob or whatever you want but wat does this do in all the time i've been playing dota i never bothered to check wat this item does

@dota_amateur

maybe if you read the description you wouldn't seem like such a retard

This is very useful for people that can scout the runes. I played techies, mined the runes, and bottled an illusion. I spawn the illusion in the middle of a major battle, and everyone thought the illusion was gonna suicide, and they ran.

Bottom line, storing runes is very nice, the refillable healing is good to. Illusion, Invisibility, and Haste can get you out of tough situations.

whats a rune?

prefer the old bottle..

how do i use dis item?

Why are there so many fucking retards on this site?!

READ THE FUCKING DESCRIPTION

Ffs why ask what a rune is just exit dota and don't try again there is about 10 explanations on what it does and you retards can't scroll to read it. Gtfo.

I've only used this a couple of times and it has awesome potential for runes to change a battle or a great early heal for longer farming.

Very nice item for all strength heroes that have some low mana requiring nuke. Arcane ring is much costly. Extremely useful to pudge who always needs to regenerate both his mana and hp.

this is crazy with broodmother. if ur almost dead, get in the web, turn on the bottle and voila, ur green again.

It's 70 mana over 3 seconds....

i use empty bottle to stack any liquid

could anyone tell me , either retreating to your base, where can you stack up the rune?

I will not exchange this for a magic stick lol!
