EPTThen there was that DOTA where the akasha hero was way too good and the fountain was not in the corner of the map. I didn't know much about that version because whenever I played I got destroyed because I didn't know which heroes were overpowered and which ones sucked (excpet for akasha).

Having a buyable Aegis of Immortality with 3 charges, then rush for Divine Rapier. Old Blink Dagger, none of that "can't be used if attacked recently" bullshit | ||

I'd like to bring some memories for the "old-school" dota players. So here are three of my favourites Dota Old Patches fun times. 1. Rikimaru Death Ward + Show Spoiler + Back then, hmm, 2005 ? Riki's ultimate was a ward similar to the witch doctor ultimate, with a lot more damage per second. Unless you instant moved away, you would die. Invisibility was not his ultimate but a skill (like PA invisibility). Riki was freakin' imba, and dust didn't exist, try to imagine the rampages... IIRC old riki also had blink (not that bullcrap blink strike that most other heroes have) and critical strike which could go up to 3x. Cause, you know, you always gotta have that back up plan in case the ward doesn't work. Oh and as for memories, I don't know which version this is, but it's pretty far back (far back before Icefrog). Razor had a 500% attack boosting increase skill along with drow. Beginning of the game would literally be a click-fest to see if one would end up playing either hero. And a couple versions after that, Crystal Maiden was introduced for the first time, and her ultimate insta RAPED everything in range. I believe it was nerfed (less nova explosions) couple versions later. | ||

The oldest funny thing I can remember is the old naix with 4.0 agi growth 3 passives and bkb ult that was mentioned here a couple of times already :-/ I don't think it's gonna happen, but it would be so sweet if there was a fun Dota 2 mod where you could play these old vintage versions. | ||

Invisibility was not his ultimate but a skill (like PA invisibility). Riki was freakin' imba, and dust didn't exist, try to imagine the rampages... Ohhhhhh Death Ward. Good times. 2. Kotl / Silencer / Warlock Golems + Show Spoiler + Golems always were a problem to balance in Dota because it gave so much AOE control in fights, and an absolute imba tank to push towers. The first time I played dota, Golems were raised by a hero model similar to the current KOTL. Then, they disappeared to come back with the old silencer. Level 6 ultimate would be 1 golem, then 2, then 3 golems for level 16. Try to imagine 3 golems at level 16 in a regular fight, BYE BYE. Then Icefrog added Warlock and it was the time again for golems to return to the game :-) Nope! Silencer's Ulti applied a passive silence to his attacks. He had healing wave, Infernals and starfall for his first three skills. 3. MoM or die + Show Spoiler + During the early times of icefrog, one of the first item to be fixed was Mask Of Madness. Just like lothar edge, it was the MUST have. Every build started with boots --> mask of madness. It had very little cost, no orb, attack speed upgrade and move speed upgrade so if you had a 1v1 fight, the guy with MoM would always catch you because he ran faster. Only counter was... to run at the same speed. Hence you could hear 10 MoM in every fight. AHAH. Your turn to share stories :-) It had no cost at all, and very little increased damage taken  I remember playing Dragon Knight with that, go dragon form and blasting the shit out of everything.____________________________________________________________________________ 1) When Sand King was first released his epicentre had no cast time and no/very little delay between the pulses. Clearly OP. 2) Also, memories of my friend KSing another friend's Juggernaut with Lina's autoattack, and getting yelled at. It was the same game too where he cycloned an enemy while the other guy omnislashed. Rage ensued, absolutely hilarious. 3) Days when Chen had purge, passive critical, Holy Light, Holy persuasion. Oh my, I loved those days. Chen was OP beyond belief. He's so shit now  4) Kotl's wisp was also one of those awesome ultimates. Epic pushing capabilities. Also, got Stygian Desolator for lulz. 5) Back in the day there was no limit on the amount of beams from Luna's eclipse hitting a hero. 6) Prophet + MoM = used to be so awesome. 7) Phantom Assassin used to have 5%/10%/15% chance to crit 4x. 8) Stealth Assassin, apart from his Death Ward, had passive 3.5x crit, blink (not blink strike). He was pretty fucking powerful. 9) Terrorblade's ultimate used to have a 750 cast range at level 3. 10) No one knew how to deal with Techies, I won against my friends using techies because of his OP mines. They used to look exactly like observer wards, so I'd place them in cute locations next to doodads. No one noticed even though they had gem/wards. ____________________________________________________________________________ E: On September 03 2011 17:54 Crahptacular wrote: leshrac with no autoattack 6x shadow plate manny fuzzy wuzzy's shop midlane and SQB for early game harass mass skele summon lich sidereal with its siege mode i'll stop before i end up just listing every hero, but man, i miss those days.

I think the imba warden you're thinking of was from dota darkness falls, where it would split into 8 pigs with massive chaos damage, and there were super strong bash weapons, and a terrorblade that could make you drop items. It was nuts. | ||
