If you've been playing dota for a long time this might jog your memory and let you reminisce of yesteryear.

http://eurobattle.net/threads/96299-The-worst-imbalances-in-dota-history

I still remember owning with sa and thinking I was the greatest player ever.

Easy doesnt fit into grownup life.

I missed out on so much early allstars since my mom wouldn't buy me tft (roc 3.6 for life). I started right around when Icefrog took over.

I missed a lot of this since I only played Dota really infrequently until near Dota 2 so these are hilarious for me to read.

Oh god, I remember.

This is the sickest fucking thing about naix:

He used to be an agi based hero. With 4.0 agi gain.

His ult was a 20 second BKB that gave damage and health. One of his passives was a ridiculous attack & movespeed slow that did damage over time on hit. He also had a ridiculous lifestealing passive that stacked with other attack modifiers. And his last passive give him additional attack and movespeed. 100% Absurd.

exactly that, he had like 25 % life gain that stacked 1+1 with items plus 20 second bkb ulti plus passive slowing poison

I started really actively playing dota with 5.84b, so I missed a lot of this, but at least the old SA and Silencer were hilarious.
Am really surprised N'aix didnt make the list tho. Was just ridiculous.

It has been around for a while. Old Naix is a few tiers below old OP heroes. And no, he wasn't an Agi hero, he was still a Strenght hero, he just had a ridiculous agi gain and shit strenght. He was complete shit early game and nothing compared to Astral Trekker, Void Demon or old Riki. I think even old Spectre could have been better, old Dispersion and Vengeance aura was ridiculous.

Either way Naix isn't there because he is too recent. They are supposed to be really obscure heroes.

Naix was ridiculous. It was actually a 40% lifesteal self aura. You just farmed in the forest until you got heart. Then you were unstoppable.

He was good because in pubs you could just disapper for 15 mins and come back with items. But he was virtually a creep before it.

I never understood how dota became so angel arena'y in the early tft days. Like when I finally transitioned to all stars it was already not ridiculous and when I was playing roc dota I don't remember it being ridiculous either.
