Keep one up on each rune, can preplace them at certain high traffic spots (hills near mid/main jungle-to-lane spots for the side of the map you're on). In general, you don't need them to be up in advance of a fight because it's so easy to drop them on top of someone and instantly activate. With just phase boots you more than make up for the amount of time it takes to cast. You can drop them all over your lane early game to put up some decent passive pressure, making it easier to set ganks up.
All in all, TA is a pretty easy hero to play.
Just grab a DS to vacuum people on top of you for a free double hide that hits for like 900 damage at level 7 and hope they don't pick Leshrac.
Not that it means anything, they dropped CS 1.6 tooThe list of titles at this upcoming World Cyber Games has been reported upon by GreatFrag.co, with some surprising decisions, including the replacement of League of Legends with Dota 2.
[...]
Of this announcement, the most notable edition is that the hugely popular sponsored title, League of Legends, will not be returning this year. Instead, Dota 2 will make its debut appearance at WCG 2012 as a primary title. In addition, its prequel Warcraft III mod, DotA, will appear as a promotional title for the leisure of the Chinese teams that have yet to make the transition.
More hidden heroes in the picture this week, btw. Guess Valve was a little trolly, cuz Nyx was in the artwork last week but didn't come out, but there's heroes hiding in the new pic.

It's still pretty fast. Played her last night, but damn teammate chose riki so the other team had an annoying Slardar who just truesighted me every chance he got. Was lame. Still won, though, because they would focus me during fights and Refraction would stall long enough for Black Hole and Smoke Screen to go off, and they never went after Riki who ended the game backstabbing for ~500 damage a swing. So dumb, lol.
Just showcased TA for Zefie in a random PuG and got called a "TA picker" like six minutes into the game...I guess every agility hero player is now a "(name) picker" like that's a bad thing.
The joke stopped at AM picker, imo.
Yeah, he was mad, so what. Doesn't mean it wasn't a dumb thing to say. Losing a solo lane to a hard counter, enemy player is automatically bad someohw.
you don't use meld for defensive purposes %99 of the time. Invisibility is not a tool for TA mostly. You use meld because it gives you good burst damage. In my opinion, true sight doesn't effects TA effectiveness. About animation, maybe it's just me but it feels like very slow.
