honestly the only hero thats harder to play than the rest is meepo, even people at the top will agree with that
which is why everyones so excited for him probably

We have a differing idea of what the word master means.

I'm not sure about that. Lay pile of bombs and hope somebody runs over them. Laning him is quite challenging I suppose, but as long as he hits 6 he will stomp games easily just because some idiot is going to run over remote mines a thousand times and never figure out how to deal with it.

The hardest part about Meepo is the micro requirement. That might create what I like to call the invoker barrier where people are so scared of the hero that they don't play it.

That's not how you play techies properly, that's how a beginner plays him in pubs. You need to place them in strategic locations and perhaps encorporate force staff, also things with stun traps and TPs and so on.


My intention wasn't to suggest laying them in random locations and praying.

I'm sure many will play him like that. It takes some knowledge of heroes to figure out placements. For example, ascertaining which lanes will be pushed the hardest, the melee lanes, etc. will be vital. For example, placing them at the tower base when the enemy has plenty of melee heroes will be grand. Probably will only work the first time though, so will always have to adapt.

just thinking of all the fun that can be had; having ds vacuum them all and then suicide would do quite a bit of damage. Especially if there is already some other form of aoe. Most entertaining moment would be seeing them all vacuumed, enigma uses black hole and watching as techies slowly runs to the group... probably would result in a "oh shit..." moment haha.

Just came out of a long game playing Ursa. And the idea of stacking hearts came across me. Is that a viable build?

I had Blink, BKB, Abyssal, Heart, Vlad, Phase. Their team line up was Riki, Batrider, Veno, Treant, Windrunner. Since Batrider/Treant ults go through BKB I was almost always useless during team fights because they would stagger the lasso and root together. So I felt like the only thing I could do to stay alive was just wait it out, hence I felt like getting 2-3 hearts was a good idea. I never actually did it, but the thought was considered, I asked my allies and they said to just get abyssal. Just wondering if stacking hearts would be a decent build since it also synergizes well with my ult (given in this situation ofc).

Are there other instances of stacking hearts on Ursa where its an acceptable build? Just curious.

Treant ult roots you through BKB, but if you BKB after it's cast it breaks the root.

First of all, you have 6 too few BFs.

Just in case you didn't know, you can break treant ult if you activate BKB.

Stacking hearts isn't that great. The regen doesn't stack, and if you aren't tanky enough after one heart you probably either need something to kill them before they kill you, or to focus on armor/MR. Butterfly gives you evasion, and manta gives you a debuff dispeller and movement speed, both good options for more survivability on an agi.

Abyssal was probably the right choice. I would have gone MKB afterwards in that situation. Riki smoke and WR windrun are both evasion, so it helps stop that, as well as the chance riki gets butterfly.

Then again, if you are playing in a MMR where you can win with ursa, you probably don't need to make the optimal item choice, so multiple hearts could work.
The only barrier to truth is the presumption that you already have it. It's through our pane (pain) we window (win though).

Ty... I had no idea lol. I think this happened maybe once in game without me knowing. But it never registered amidst all the chaos.

Realistically, Ursa should win the game before 6 items. If the game lasted that long, their team getting Ghost Scepters/Force Staves should make your life hell regardless.

It shouldn't even be a question of "should I stack Hearts at 6 items" because oftentimes the answer is that the game should have ended 10-15 minutes ago.

Just won a game where I randomed Ursa. Our team pretty much dominated the whole game and to top it all off, SNSD - Gee started playing right when the game ended.

I had a storm that participated in almost no fights cause he was a baby. So the game dragged on longer than it should have. And I had to deal with 3 forcestaffs and 1 ghost scepter. None of the kills were easy for me T_T

Edit: I didnt even check Riki's items. If I saw the butterfly I woulda gone straight MKB.

stacking hearts is an old ursa build back then there werent as many late game options for ursa, also when hearts had 11 hp a second. i think guinsoo is really useful on him lategame as well.

Guinsoo is really nice to buy after Blink. It smooths out your mana usage, and makes your ability to gank much more powerful.

Although both sheep and abyssal is a bit excessive. Its been a while since I've played ursa, but I don't have any recollection of mana troubles after early-mid game. And the non-actives of abyssal are better for ursa than sheep. Again, haven't played much of ursa, but it seems to me that abyssal makes sheep obsolete on ursa. Especially since the riki was going for BKB, and you are likely to go for MKB anyway (for those who don't know, sheep disables evasion).

Also, looks like the treant was going for heavens halberd. Another hero which MKB helps bring down.

Well, tbh, MKB is good against a Riki even if he doesn't have butterfly.
He got the smoke cloud that make you miss
